Mark your calendars Spice Girls fans! The proud British group is reportedly close to reuniting for a comeback concert during the London Olympics this summer. Scary, Baby, Ginger, Sporty and Posh are already currently working together on the score for a musical based on the band, and apparently, the time together has them contemplating a reunion for the big Brit event.

"I would never say never. I think it's possible," Mel B recently told Star Magazine. "I'd love it if we got back together and got to go on tour," added the current 'X-Factor Australia' judge on the band's future plans.

Mel's bandmate Gerri Halliwell is also keen to take the stage during her hometown's Olympic Games. "Singing at the Games is a great idea and would be an amazing opportunity -- and it's a sign the Brits are back," Gerri told The Daily Mirror. "This is our time. Everything is circular and now there's a British pop revival."

"It needs to put itself back on the map on a world stage," added the red-headed songstress. "This is our opportunity to show that British music, which has led and dominated the world, should do, always."

Are you excited for this summer's Olympic Games? Do you think the Spice Girls would be a good choice to represent England during the opening ceremonies? Comment below!

I tell ya what I want, what I REALLY, REALLY want: For the Spice Girls to stay home and take care of their babies. Like the Kardashians and LiLo, their 15 minutes were 14 minutes too long!

But I think "Spice Girls" isn't the right name for them anymore. More like "Worn Out Mamas"....

You're right, they were beloved, talented and adorable. The first beloved chick band that came to my mind were the GoGos who are STILL successfully touring! I guess England doesn't want to lower themselves to ask an American group to perform at "their" Olympics.

lol@ "beloved"....they were a superficial, corporate-created group. One hit wonders. They were one hit wonders because the public could only tolerate one song from them.

Hardly "girls" any longer. Maybe Spice Mamas would be more appropriate.

Well, four of them appear smiling and happy about it. Does Posh even have any teeth?
