Spice Girls Reunite in Hong Kong.

Tell me what you want, what you really, really want? A Spice Girls reunion tour? Yes, its happening and Hong Kong is on their map in January 2008. And Ginger Spice is there too!

The Spice Girls wannabe stars again. Following a calculated publicity buildup, the original Girl Power group of the 1990s announced Thursday they had agreed to get together for 11 concerts around the world in December and January.

The group said the shows would be in Los Angeles on Dec. 7; Las Vegas on Dec. 8; New York on Dec. 11; London on Dec. 15; Cologne, Germany, on Dec. 20; Madrid, Spain, on Dec. 23; Beijing on Jan. 10; Hong Kong on Jan. 12; Sydney, Australia, on Jan. 17; Cape Town, South Africa, on Jan. 20; and Buenos Aires, Argentina on Jan. 24.

Halliwell and Beckham joined with Melanie “Sporty Spice” Chisholm, Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton and Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown to pose for photos and announce tour plans.

EMI said it plans to release the first Spice Girls greatest-hits album in November. The group also plans to make their first official documentary for TV broadcast.

“It’s going to be the most honest story that you’ve ever heard,” Halliwell said. “You get to see the dark side of the Spice Girls, the gritty side, the tears.”
