Geri Halliwell admits her friendship with Victoria Beckham suffered a huge blow when she walked out on the Wannabe hitmakers in 1998, and their rocky relationship was blighted further when the style queen failed to invite her to her wedding to soccer superstar David in 1999.

But Halliwell insists she has once again grown close to the mum-of-three after the Spice Girls’ recent reunion tour, because balancing the stresses of a pop career with motherhood has helped them to move past their previous conflicts.

She says, “I have huge admiration for Victoria. She had her boys with her the whole time (during the tour) and she’s done such a great job with them - they are all so well mannered and caring. We are actually the biggest supporters of each other. We feel really proud of one another, particularly when you add this bond of motherhood.”

Halliwell has a daughter, Bluebell Madonna, who turns two next month.

Not long after the owner of trendy L.A. boutique Kitson went public with his displeasure over Victoria Beckham’s failure to make any in-store appearances to promote her pricey denim line, dVb, the singer miraculously showed up earlier today at the celeb-friendly shop.

The Spice Girl, followed by a phalanx of photographers popped into the store on Robertson Blvd. on Tuesday for a quickie 15-minute shopping trip.

So does that mean that all is well between Posh and Kitson? “Our meeting went great and I hope we can get dVb back on track,” the store’s owner, Frasier Ross, told OK! following today’s visit by the British singer.

Victoria Beckham’s new best friends may be Hollywood’s biggest stars – but Tom Cruise is concerned that the Spice Girl is rubbing off on his wife just a bit too much.

According to my spies in LA, the actor is keen to put some distance between his actress wife Katie Holmes and Victoria, who have morphed into each other.

“Katie sees Victoria as a role model,” says my mole. “She copies Victoria’s look and even cut her hair the same way.

But it concerns Tom that Katie has lost so much weight recently.

“She is very thin largely because she is following Victoria’s strict 900-calories-a-day eating plan. She is copying Victoria’s fad of eating seaweed shakes, frozen grapes and edamame beans. She is tiny.”

Victoria Beckham’s dVb fashion range has been dumped from a string of U.S. stores, following complaints of poor sales and a lack of promotional work from the star.

Top outlets Fred Segal and Kitson have dropped the singer’s denim collection and accused Beckham of not doing enough to help sell her products. Fraser Ross, owner of Kitson, has blamed the Spice Girl’s constant refusal to do in-store appearances for the commercial failure of the jeans, which sell for over $200 a pair.

He says, “We asked her PR people so many times for her to appear but she didn’t. Celebrity lines are no different from an album or music tour. They have to be promoted to sell.”
