Victoria Beckham (a.k.a. Posh Spice) had chosen a clear winner by the time all five of Project Runway’s finalists—Chris March, Christian Siriano, Rami Kashou, Sweet P and Jillian Lewis—finished showing their collections in the Tent at Bryant Park this morning. But while speaking to the Daily Transom, the singer and Marc Jacobs muse revealed a bit too much.

Now that the Spice Girls are once again sharing the same rack, they have really started to turn up the heat. A little over a week after the British pop group dove headlong into their reunion tour at this month’s Victoria’s Secret fashion show, they've been courted by the Cruise family, who stopped by to hear the ladies croon, clap and clop during a recent closed rehearsal. But that’s not all, Tom, Katie and Suri apparently went so far as to wish the hot-again herbs good luck on their upcoming tour, which gets underway in Vancouver on December 2.

From the official Spice Girls Web site:

Tom and Katie enjoyed an impromptu audience with the girls and were treated to an exclusive performance, while Suri danced along to the music.

“David and I are great friends with Tom and Katie,” Victoria told us afterwards “It was lovely of them to come down to rehearsals, a really nice surprise. Katie has told me before that she used to be a big Spice fan so it was great for her to meet the other girls.”

A Spicy Reunion

Kanye West was sadly absent from last night’s Victoria’s Secret fashion show—where he was supposed to perform—at the Kodak Theater in L.A. Helping to fill the "College Dropout"’s void was a spectacular occurrence—a Spice Girls reunion. By the looks of this picture on the red carpet, it probably shouldn't happen again anytime soon. (It will.) The photo of the ladies, who presumably performed to promote the recent release of a greatest hits album, is, we think, kind of hysterical and very telling. It seems a lot has changed in the decade following their pop apex, "If You Want to Be My Lover." Scary looks posh; Baby looks scary; Sporty looks like a character in Working Girl; Ginger looks, well, the same—but older. Then, of course, there’s Posh, who appears either truly mortified to be standing next to her former band mates or heavily sedated. Or both.
