Quit Fooling Around, Em -- [ Picture scanned and Posted on DenDen by SpicyRob ]
Whats this? Emma Bunton appears to have yet another new man in her life.
The one formally know as Baby Spice was pictured emerging hand-in-hand
with a Will Young look alike in the early hours of Sunday morning, left.

But the canny pair tired to throw us off the scent by seperating as soon as they
were spotted - you nearly fooled us. Not. Ridiculously, the pair met up moments
later and speed off in an Aldi sports car.

The Loop's finger is really on the button this week as we bring you more Chitty Chitty Bang Bang news. Hot on the heels of the revelation that grinning Will Young will take over from Michael Ball, it appears that ex-Spice Girl Emma Bunton is to take over the role of the female lead. Emma is rumoured to be understandably nervous about her singing ability and is undergoing intensive singing lessons.

No to theako relationship -- [ Posted by Ewok on DenDen Forums ]
Article from the mirror's 3am girls:
RUMOURS of a love match between Jamie Theakston and Emma Bunton are, er, utter rubbish.   The pair were linked after being photographed in a clinch at the Cartier Polo event in Windsor at the weekend. Contrary to stories, Emma arrived with her good pal Holly Flynn and later hooked up with her polo playing friend Jamie Morrison.

Jamie Theakston arrived with a male pal and enjoyed lunch before meeting with his ex Joely Richardson. A spokesman for Emma and Jamie told 3am: "They are not together at all, it's rubbish. Emma was saying goodbye to Jamie after the day out. "Their friendship goes back to the days when Emma was a Spice Girl and he was on Top Of The Pops. This really is a joke."

At the event 3am caught up with Emma and she told us: "I'm just here to see a load of sexy men riding around on horseback."
We didn't see Jamie riding a thing.

Joely V Emma (Article from The Sun) -- [Posted by SpicyRob on DenDen Forums ]
Decisions, decisions ... Jamie has to choose between posh Joely, left, and down-to-earth Emma

THEY are both blonde, beautiful and have been seen canoodling with
kids’ telly star Jamie Theakston. Emma Bunton is a down-to-earth,
girl-next-door pop singer, Joely Richardson a posh actress. They
say variety is the spice of life and it seems Jamie is having difficulty
choosing between former Spice Girl Emma and his ex, Joely.

The dithering DJ and Emma were seen behaving like illicit lovers after sneaking off for a cuddle at a swanky do at the weekend.   But the next day Jamie was spotted enjoying a two-hour lunch at Joely’s home in Hampstead, North London.
Yesterday the 31-year-old Top Of The Pops presenter lay low behind the closed blinds of his £500,000 luxury London pad.

So no one was any clearer about what was happening with his tangled love life. Joely grew up in London and comes from an aristocratic acting dynasty. Her mum is Vanessa Redgrave and dad was Oscar-winning director Tony Richardson. Her elder sis is acclaimed actress Natasha Richardson and her grandfather was Sir Michael Redgrave. Willowy Joely is no stranger to tortuous romances.

She dated Randal McDonnell, son of the Earl of Antrim, in her twenties and had an affair with producer Archie Stirling, 25 years her senior.   He dumped wife Diana Rigg for her but later went back to the star of TV’s The Avengers. Joely married Four Wedding And A Funeral producer Tim Bevan in 1992 but he left her for a younger woman five years later. They have a daughter, Daisy, ten.   She went out with Jamie for two-and-a-half years. When they split last year he described her as “the love of his life”.

Emma was born in Barnet, Herts, and also lives in upmarket Hampstead. Dad Trevor, who walked out on her karate teacher mum Pauline when Emma was 11, is a milkman. Previous partners include Jade Jones from the boy band Damage and Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller, with whom she has had an on-off relationship. She has a brother, Robbie, who is also in the music business.

Some may wonder why either is bothering with the Jamie after he was caught up in a sex scandal involving three vice girls in a bondage brothel earlier this year. But below we compare the two babes pulling at Jamie’s heartstrings to try to help him choose one.
