A Tall One For Ginger: The Spice Girls better have their measuring tapes handy if they’re going to fixing Ginger up with any of their guy friends. Mel B and fellow Spice Girls were asked who she thought Geri (Ginger Spice) should date; the girls recommended “Dancing” champ Helio Castroneves, according to OK! Magazine. Ginger was not feeling it, saying, “I’m sorry, but I like tall men. I have to think about genetics! I know what people will think that’s rich coming from me, because I’m only 5’2“, but I’m a small girl and I need a tall man!” It appears disco ball trophies aren’t enough to impress a Spice Girl.OK! Magazine.

Winehouse ‘Happy And Psyched’: Speaking of Brit singers who don’t have a guy right now, Amy Winehouse is reportedly as excited as she gets (which isn’t a whole lot), about her handful of Grammy nominations, according to a report in People. Mark Ronson, who produced a great deal of her “Back To Black” album says, “Amy doesn’t get excited about anything. She was never once excited while in the studio. And today she is just like, ‘Yeah, Ronnie, chops, we got Grammy nominations.‘ That’s her. But she is happy and psyched.”

Candy For Madonna: Another singer who can be heard sporting a British accent at times, is Madonna. Faux bad accents aside, the First Lady of Pop is set to release her next album which is reportedly titled “Licorice,” and will drop in April, according to Billboard. Madonna has recruited the lyric skills of Kayne West for the track “The Beat Goes On.” This is her last studio album with Warner Bros before she embarks on a groundbreaking partnership with Live Nation.

Will Ferrell On The Road: Maybe not as groundbreaking as Madonna, but most likely a whole lot funnier, Will Ferrell is set to hit the road. The actor will go on a college comedy tour to promote his new film, “Semi-Pro,” which drops February 29, according to a report by E! Online. “Not only will this tour make people laugh, but it’s going to change lives…I think,” says Ferrell. Maybe it will be groundbreaking! The tour will also feature the comic skills of Zach Galifianakis, Demetri Martin and Nick Swardson and will play at seven schools.

Sex And The Big Screen: The wait is over! Will Carrie and Big finally tie the knot? Will Charlotte become a mom to someone other than her puppies? Do Miranda and Steve still have wedded bliss in Brooklyn? And who could forget about sex-starved Samantha! We know she’ll be up to her usual fabulousness. The “Sex And The City” trailer has debuted online. Hide your high heels; Carrie and the girls are back for more.
