Geri Halliwell Reacts to Kim Kardashian's Desire to Join Spice Girls

If you wanna be a member of the Spice Girls, Kim Kardashian, you gotta talk to Geri Halliwell-Horner.

In fact, after The Kardashians star gushed over the girl group on a recent episode of the Hulu series, the singer sent the love right by revealing what Spice name she'd give Kim.

"She deserves something really good," Geri exclusively told E! News Chief Correspondent Keltie Knight while promoting her book Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen. "She deserves something like Inner Strength Spice. I think she's Smart Spice. She's smart. It's brilliant that you're beautiful from the outside, but also she's beautiful with a book in her back pocket. I love that. We can all be things. Good for her!" (For more from Geri, tune into E! News tonight, Oct. 24 at 11 p.m.)

And the 51-year-old expressed how she admires Kim for her work ethic.

"She's amazing," Geri noted. "I think she's a very, very good role model. She's smart. She's really been inspiring the way she's turned that business around and also for women to celebrate your curves. I really like that about her." 

Kim's love of the Spice Girls—which also includes Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Mel C and Emma Bunton—goes way back.

"I was a Spice Girl for my talent show," she said on the Oct. 19 episode of The Kardashians during a soccer trip to London with her son Saint West and friends. "I was Victoria. I was Posh, duh."

In fact, the SKIMS mogul—who's also dressed up as the group along with her sisters Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner—said Mel C even invited her to fill in for Victoria if the rest of the band ever goes back on tour. 

"Sporty Spice wrote a book and signed it inside and she sent it to me saying that they're going on tour and they need a Posh and would I be the Posh?" she continued. "I mean, I'm sure she was joking. But like, when I was in high school, would I ever have thought that this was, like, a thing? I'm just, like, a girl from high school that lived the Spice Girls and now they're asking me?"

As fan wait to see if the band will ever return to the stage, spice up your life and see photos of them throughout the years.

The Spice Girls became a global success upon the release of "Wannabe" in 1996. Considered the best-selling female group of all time, the British songstresses have sold over 85 million records worldwide. 

The girl group rocked the stage at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City with a performance of "Say You'll Be There." They took home Best Dance Video for "Wannabe" that year.

Ginger Spice's Union Jack mini-dress became synonymous with the Spice Girls after their performance at the 1997 Brit Awards. Initial controversy aside, the iconic ensemble sold for more than $58,000 at a a charity auction. 

Released in December 1997, Spice World: The Movie became an instant blockbuster hit. Two decades later, it remains a cult phenomenon and recently even returned to theaters in the U.K. to celebrate the milestone anniversary! 

Posh, Scary, Sporty, Baby and Ginger Spice come together for a 1998 photo opp. Two years later, they'd announce their decision to put Spice Girls on the back burner for a renewed focus on their respective solo careers. 

The Spice Girls made a comeback in 2007 with a global tour that sold out in a whopping 38 seconds. That same year, the ladies hit the stage at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Hollywood. 

After four years apart, the girl group reunited once again to celebrate the premiere of Viva Forever!, a musical inspired by their time in the spotlight. 

At the closing ceremony for the 2012 London Olympics, the fivesome performed a medley of greatest hits like "Wannabe" and "Spice Up Your Life."

In 2016, Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton announced a spinoff trio called GEM. A single titled "Song for Her" leaked online, but the project was evidently put on hold around the time Halliwell announced her pregnancy with baby No. 2. 

Cue the pandemonium! All five Spice Girls sent social media into a frenzy with this photo posted in February 2018. 

They responded to the excitement in a joint statement, saying, "We have enjoyed a wonderful afternoon catching-up and reminiscing about the amazing times we have spent together. We are always overwhelmed at how much interest there is across the whole world for The Spice Girls. The time now feels right to explore some incredible new opportunities together. We all agree that there are many exciting possibilities that will once again embrace the original essence of The Spice Girls, while reinforcing our message of female empowerment for future generations."

After announcing in late 2018 that four of the five Spice Girls would be reuniting once more for a tour—Victoria sat this one out to focus on the commitment to her fashion empire—Geri, Emma and the Mels began a 13-date European tour at Croake Park in Dublin, Ireland on May 24, 2019. Concluding with three nights at London's Wembley Stadium, the tour earned over $78 million, proving that Girl Power never goes out of style.
