Spice Girls 'Now Fully Own' Rights to Spice World Film
Mel C says the group resolved ownership issues and will make the 1997 cult comedy available to stream soon.
- The Spice Girls now fully own the rights to their 1997 film Spice World and plan to release the cult classic for streaming in the "not-too-distant future."

- While Wednesday marks the 30th anniversary of "Wannabe," Chisholm clarified on The Smallzy Show that no reunion is planned, though the band remains in communication.
