The “Spice Girls” are attempting to hook her up with actor George Clooney with their one and only Geri Halliwell known to band fans as “Ginger Spice.” Not that long ago, George commented that Geri is his favorite member of the girl band.

Geri’s band mates, Melanie Brown, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, recently were on “Good Morning America” and even tried to convince George to dump his girlfriend, Sarah Larson, and go out with Halliwell.

“She is single – take her out,” said Mel B.

“He should invite her out to dinner,” Victoria added.

The Spice Girls were the first major British pop music phenomenon of the mid-’90s to not have a debt to independent pop/rock. Instead, the all-female quintet derived from the dance-pop tradition that made Take That the most popular British group of the early ’90s, but there was one crucial difference. Spice Girls use dance-pop as a musical base, but they infused the music with a fiercely independent, feminist stance that was equal parts Madonna, post-riot grrrl alternative rock feminism, and a co-opting of the good-times-all-the-time stance of England’s new lad culture.

Their proud, all-girl image and catchy dance-pop appealed to younger listeners, while their colorful, sexy personalities and sense of humor appealed to older music fans, making Spice Girls a cross-generational success. The group also became chart-toppers throughout Europe in 1996, before concentrating in America in early 1997.
