25.10.2004 Geri Learns To Sing

Geri is taking singing lessons in a bid to boost her pop career comeback.

The 32-year-old star has gone back to practising simple vocal exercises to save her singing voice after a throat operation, and no longer smokes cigarettes.

She says, "I quit smoking and had nodules in my throat removed. You'll here the difference to my voice on the new album.

"I've had to go back to singing lessons and doing all these vocal exercises. It's very embarrassing."

The hitmaker recently announced she's following in the footsteps of Madonna and Cher, by dropping her surname to become simply Geri.

14.10.2004 Geri's Diva Rant

Geri Halliwell threw a diva tantrum after she was refused entry to an exclusive London shop.The star saw red when she was told that she would have to wait outside an antiques shop because only two shoppers are allowed to browse at any one time.

A passerby says, "She looked very, very unhappy at being left outside alone."

The 32-year-old wasn't prepared to be left a sitting duck for celebrity spotters and gained entry after making the shop's staff fully aware of exactly who she was. She later emerged smiling after buying a pearl necklace.
