Red Bull's Christian Horner Under Investigation ... For Alleged Inappropriate Behavior

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is at the center of an investigation ... after a staffer within the Formula One organization accused the longtime boss of alleged inappropriate behavior.

The energy drink giant released a statement on Monday ... saying,  "After being made aware of certain recent allegations, the company launched an independent investigation."

Red Bull added the probe is being conducted by an outside party ... and it takes the situation "extremely seriously."

Horner -- who has been with the organization since it joined the grid in 2005 -- has denied the allegations ... although the nature of the claims was not revealed.

Horner is by far the most successful team principal in the sport today -- winning the constructors championship six times at the helm ... and overseeing six drivers championships, most recently with Max Verstappen.

Outside of F1, he's also famously married to Geri Halliwell ... AKA Ginger Spice.

It's unclear if this will have any effect on the upcoming F1 schedule ... as the first race of the season kicks off with the Bahrain Grand Prix in March.

DAVID BECKHAM CRITICA A SU MUJER POR DECIR QUE ES DE "CLASE OBRERA"

"¿clase trabajadora?"... si claro
Netflix

David Beckham cuestionó a su mujer, Victoria, por afirmar que fue criada en un hogar de "clase trabajadora", exigiendo que muestre un poco de honestidad en una nueva docuserie.

La pareja se peleó durante el rodaje de la serie de Netflix, "Beckham", que se estrenó el miércoles durante una entrevista con la integrante de las Spice Girls. Victoria habló de su familia, asegurando que cayó en la categoría de "clase obrera".

David entonces intervino, regañándola por ser deshonesta con los productores. Cuando ella trató de defenderse, David se mantuvo firme, haciéndole confesar como es que ella llegaba a la escuela cuando era niña.

Parece que Victoria trató de esquivar la pregunta, pero David siguió presionando hasta que finalmente admitió que su padre la llevaba en un Rolls-Royce. La gente en Internet ha estado aplaudiendo David por mantener las afirmaciones de Victoria en jaque.

Los fans de David saben que su miniserie de 4 partes sigue su ascenso, así como su relación a finales de los 90 e incluso el supuesto romance de David en 2003.

El clan Beckham apareció para el estreno de la serie en Londres el martes. El producto final se estrena tres años después de que David consiguiera un acuerdo de $20 millones con Netflix.

David Beckham Blasts Wife For 'Working Class' Claims ... 'Be Honest,' Victoria!

"WORKING CLASS PEOPLE" YA RIGHT
Netflix

David Beckham is dragging his wife, Victoria, for claiming she was raised in a "working-class" household ... demanding she show some honesty in a new docuseries.

The couple got into it while filming the Netflix series, "Beckham," which debuted on Wednesday -- during an interview with the Spice Girls member, Victoria talked about her hard-working family ... alleging she fell into the "working class" category.

David then stuck his head into his wife's interview, scolding her for being dishonest to the producers ... and as she tried to defend herself, DB stuck his ground, making her say what kind of ride she took to school as a kid.

It seems Victoria tried to dodge the Q, but David kept pushing -- and she eventually admits her dad drove her in a Rolls-Royce. Folks online have been applauding David for keeping Victoria's claims in check, too.

Fans of David know his 4-part miniseries follows his rise to the top of his international soccer fame ... as well as their relationship in the late '90s and even David's alleged affair in 2003.

The Beckham clan stepped out for the show's premiere in London on Tuesday ... with the finished product coming 3 years after David worked out a $20 million deal with Netflix.

Victoria Beckham Singing Spice Girls Again 1 Year Later But Still Won't Go on Tour

SPICY SING-A-LONG

Victoria Beckham is once again singing Spice Girls tunes, but on a tiny stage compared to what she once rocked with her bandmates ... and the timing of this is interesting.

The now-former Posh Spice posted a video Sunday, where she's belting out 'Say You'll Be There' during a night out with her hubby, David Beckham. Of course, this is in a karaoke setting ... so it's not really a polished performance by any means. It is public though.

Check it out ... you see Victoria handling microphone duties at some venue in the Magic City, where the Beckhams live. She writes, "Warming up the vocals in Miami! More to come."

She doesn't elaborate, but it's telling that she seems to be teasing something here. Of course, Spice Girls fans might be losing their minds right now ... assuming this has anything to do with the possibility of her touring again, which she's strongly resisted up to this point.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The other weird thing about this is that one year ago, to the day, Victoria was also singing Spice Girl in yet another karaoke sesh -- so ya gotta figure there's more to this here.

Like we said ... Victoria/Posh has been the lone holdout among the Spice Girls amid their recent reunion gigs. In 2019, she was the only one who didn't hit the stage during their UK tour ... and in recent months, there's been even more talk of them hitting the road again.

Still, despite their best efforts to recruit her ... Victoria has, time and again, said she's too busy with other ventures and simply can't commit to getting onstage again with the other Spice Girls. It's a shame really -- because diehard fans have wanted to see them all officially reunite for years ... and the group's just not the same without all 5 members together.

The last time the Spice Girls performed as a full unit was in 2012 during the London Olympics. Since then, VB has gone on to other things ... including her fashion line.

Now, however ... it feels like something might perhaps be cooking. Time will tell, indeed. 👀

Mel B Good Genes or Good Docs?!

Mel B's looks over the years will "spice up your life!"

Here is a 22-year-old version of "Scary Spice" looking so chic in a sequined blazer at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas back in 1997 (left). This was just one year before she and the rest of the Spice Girls hit the road for the Spiceworld Tour.

And, 25 years later ... the pop icon looked vibrant and on-brand in a leopard print dress at a campaign to promote the end of domestic abuse in London (right).

"I wanna really, really, really wanna zig-a-zig, ah!"

The question is ...

Mel B. ...

Mel B Plays Battered and Trapped Woman In Domestic Abuse Vid

Mel B appears beaten, broken and trapped in a disturbing new video made to raise domestic violence awareness, and it has some people drawing connections to the singer's past.

The Spice Girls singer co-stars in the short film, "Love Should Not Hurt" by classical composer Fabio D’Andrea. Mel plays the role of a woman seemingly living a wonderful life in a mansion out in the country -- but behind closed doors, she's being battered and held captive by her partner ... played by Sam Mackay.

At the end of the short film, Mel's character -- shown with a bruised and bleeding face -- attempts to flee ... as alarming statistics about women being subjected to physical or sexual violence are displayed.

Though it's not explicitly suggested, Mel B's appearance in this video -- a collaboration with the UK org., Women’s Aid -- elicits an alleged violent chapter of her life with ex-husband, Stephen Belafonte.

Mel, who split from Belafonte in 2017, claimed he abused her throughout their 10-year marriage and previously described it as a "reign of terror."

Stephen has denied the allegations, but they went through a very nasty divorce and have been embroiled in a custody war ... which has included Belafonte making disturbing allegations of his own.

'Posh Spice' Holy Cow!!! Sells for World Record Price

Here's a story with some meat on it -- a "stylish and shapely" bovine, much like her namesake, mooed down the competition for a world record! Oh yeah, and she's a Spice Girl.

The heifer's name is "Posh Spice," and she sold at auction in the U.K. city of Carlisle for a whopping £262,000 ... which is more than $358k.

The sale doubled the previous record, set in 2014, and the breeder, Christine Williams, compared the sum to winning the lottery ... though she says she knew the 1-year-old cow had the "x-factor" to make it happen.

Apparently, Spice's characteristics of larger loin depth, reduced-fat cover and greater meat tenderness turned the auction into a real cattle battle ... resulting in the record-setting price.

As for her name -- it's Wilodge Poshspice in full -- Williams says the big gal's following the footsteps of her mother ... whose name was Milbrook Gingerspice. Naturally.

Mel B's Ex Gimme Some Spice Girls Dough ... That's What I Really Want!!!

Mel B's ex-husband says she needs to share the fat wad she earned on tour with her Girls, 'cause it's A LOT ... and he deserves a cut to help care for their kid.

Stephen Belafonte filed new docs asking a judge to modify how much Mel pays him monthly for child support -- currently $5,000/mo. -- because he says she recently raked in a massive amount of money from this year's Spice Girls reunion tour.

How much we talkin'? Stephen says Mel alone, by her own admission in court records, made around $2.4 million.

We broke the story ... all the singers stood to make upwards of $3 million each by getting together again on the road. Scary Spice's payday was a little short of that, but still enough for Stephen to come a-knockin'.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Stephen claims Mel has tried to skirt including that dough as part of her regular income. He says, instead, she reported it as a one-time sum. Stephen's calling BS and wants some of that income increase should translate to a child support boost to $17,394 per month. He's also demanding she cover his attorney's fee.

Of course, Mel and Stephen already settled their divorce with agreed-upon payments and a custody schedule, but they're going back to court next month to hash this one out.

Spice Girls Reunion Tour What Some Fans Really, Really Want ... A Refund!!!

The Spice Girls are still shaking off the rust -- their second tour stop was plagued with the same problem as the first ... and some concertgoers are demanding their money back.

Many fans who attended Spice World 2019's show at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales Monday night complained of poor sound quality throughout the performance, saying the music was hard to hear ... and so was the singing.

One fan claimed the Spice Girls' voices were drowned out the entire time by the band ... so you couldn't hear the harmonies or even make out the words.

Many unhappy fans took to Twitter to express their frustration over the sound issues -- one called the tour a complete disaster -- and even demanded a public apology and a refund.

The Cardiff show comes days after the group kicked off its reunion tour in Dublin Friday night ... which also had sound problems. Mel B promised it would be better for show #2 ... but apparently, she was wrong.

As with all things these days, though ... some fans completely disagree with the poor reviews and say the Girls' performance has been incredible.

Regardless ... there are still 11 shows left on the tour. Next stop -- Etihad Stadium in Manchester on Wednesday night. Say you'll be there?

Spice Girls Reunion Tour Kicks Off in Dublin ... Nothin' Scary About Mel's Eye!!!

The Spice Girls' long-awaited reunion tour is officially underway -- the 4 ladies just took the stage ... and Mel B should have full peripheral vision!!!

Scary, Sporty, Ginger and Baby Spice are performing together for the first time in years, and the crowd in Dublin, Ireland erupted in excitement when they came out and opened with "Spice Up Your Life." Then ... it was time to dance.

From the looks of it, the Girls are going all out for their Spice World 2019 tour ... with a huge stage and screen and choreographed numbers galore. Hours before the show, Mel B shared a photo of the group with their stage director and choreographer, and everyone looked stoked.

More importantly, Mel B appears to be over the worst of last week's eye emergency ... where she was diagnosed with severe iritis in her right eye and uveitis in her left.

She said she was on meds and heavy duty drops to fix her peepers, and claimed she'd have to wear an eye patch ... but it looks like she healed up nicely in time for the big show.

The Spice Girls are scheduled for 12 more shows after Dublin in Wales, England and Scotland ... but it looks like they're off to a great start!!!

Mel B Lotta Fake News About My Eyes ... I'm Not OKAY, But Getting Better

Mel B's eye problems are a lot scarier than some media folks are reporting, so she's setting the record straight ... and searching for a cool eye patch.

Scary Spice says she had an awful experience last week -- she went blind in her right eye and her left eye went blurry. She was freaked out and in a lot of pain so she went to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with severe iritis in her right eye and uveitis in her left.

This contradicts reports saying Mel B was doing fine and this has happened many times before ... due to her eye herpes. Mel says those reports are total BS, and the press "needs to get there [sic] silly facts right big time." She doesn't specifically address the eye herpes element in the report.

The Spice Girl claims this has never ever happened to her before, but the good news is the eye specialists she went to have it under control and she's no longer worried things might get worse.

She says she's now on meds and got heavy duty drops to heal her eyes, but she'll still be dealing with it for the next 3 or 4 months ... which means it'll be an issue on the upcoming Spice Girls reunion tour.

The tour's set to kick off Friday in Dublin, so Mel says she needs to find a "very cool Scary eye patch." She's asking for help on that too ... but not from Madonna.

Mel B Says She Severed Hand, Broke Ribs ... Emergency Surgery Required

Talk about Scary Spice -- Mel B says she got sent straight to the hospital after an accident left her with a severed hand and broken ribs that required immediate surgery.

The Spice Girls member posted a photo of herself on the mend early Monday that featured her in a sling ... and a gruesome (yet vague) description of what happened. Mel says she required emergency care in London this weekend after suffering 2 broken ribs, a "severed" right hand ... and a heck of a lot of pain. It's unclear what caused this, but it sounds nasty.

Gary Madatyan, a close friend who has been in touch with Mel, tells TMZ, she was staying at a friend's house Saturday night. She was asleep in an upstairs bedroom when she woke up and decided to go downstairs. We're told the staircase was narrow and Mel lost her footing and fell.

Given her history of substance abuse, there are questions about the circumstances of the fall, however, Gary and Mel B's lawyer, Taline Boyamian, say neither drugs nor alcohol played a role. Boyamian says Mel was due to fly into L.A. Sunday and take a court-ordered drug test Monday. Boyamian says Mel has a pristine record of negative tests since testing began and is almost at the finish line.

Mel thanks the doctors and nurses who are helping her recover through the ordeal, and says she was forced to cancel a book signing in New York because of the injuries.

The upside ... the other Spice Girls (sans Posh) came to visit her in the hospital, and they all posed for a sweet photo together. Staying true to their tunes we see!

As we reported ... the Spice Girls are embarking on a new U.K. tour next summer, for which the 4 active performers are set to make over $3 million each -- and possibly more if the show goes on.

Hopefully, Mel B is fully healed by the time she needs to hit the stage. Get well soon!

Mel B Spice Girls at Coachella??? ... 'I Would Love That!!!'

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
TMZ.com

Mel B's still months away from officially getting the band back together on tour, but she's already hopeful the Spice Girls can add a couple more stops ... including in the USA.

We got Scary Spice at LAX Friday, and our superfan cameraman peppered her with questions about the upcoming reunion tour ... set to kick off in Dublin, Ireland in May 2019.

Mel tells us the song she's most excited to perform on stage with the Girls -- sans Posh, but she says it's all good -- and you better believe she still knows all the dance moves to "Stop."

As of now, the 2019 tour only includes a handful of venues in Ireland and Great Britain -- ending with 3 shows at Wembley Stadium -- but Mel tells us what she really, really wants is to join the famed Glastonbury Festival at the end of June.

They're reportedly "in talks" to make it happen.

Spice Girls fans in the States hoping they'll add a U.S. concert might not be so lucky, but Mel's not ruling it out ... at the big fest in the California desert especially.

Spice Girls Set to Make Over $3M Per Member ... For UK Tour

The Spice Girls will be getting P-A-I-D for their brief UK tour -- more than $3 million each -- and they can roll in even more dough if they kill it in ticket sales.

Sources tell us the 4 out of 5 Spice Girls who are hitting the road next summer across the pond are set to be making nearly $550k a head for each of their 6 shows in Britain -- totaling about $3.2 million each. Ain't too shabby for 6 days of work.

Here's the kicker ... we're told Mel B and co. could make even more cash if their shows sell well enough to spur a second leg outside the UK ... the girls could rake in up to $6.5 million each.

BACK IN ACTION

There's no guarantee that'll happen. Tickets go on sale this weekend, and we're told the crew is nervous they won't sell out since Victoria Beckham isn't going along for the ride. As we reported ... the Spice Girls will tour without her.

Speaking of Victoria, she may have screwed her old girl band in more ways than one. Reports surfaced earlier this year saying TSG could've made as much as $13 mil each if Posh had joined.

Ah, what's a few million between friends, right?

For what it's worth, the Girls seem to be all in on the resurgence. They appeared on Emma Bunton's radio show Wednesday morning and were all smiles about the tour. And, although Scary Spice was just teasing us about recording new music, we wouldn't count it out just yet. Imagine that payday!
