Spice songs leaked to Napster
New Spice music has been leaked to Napster.
Songs from the girl-group's upcoming album "Forever" can now be found on the music-sharing website Napster, BBC reports.
All 11 of the songs on the album, scheduled for release on November 7, are being traded between eager fans after the group's label, Virgin Records, uploaded them onto a server.
Four of the songs were put onto the RealNetworks site by the record company to pump its new audio player. Then, fans realized that all 11 songs could be found, and quickly formatted them as MP3s.
Napster experienced heavy traffic on Thursday as users downloaded the songs.
But Napster isn't the only site with Spice songs. A U.S. fansite is also making the tracks available for downloading.
"I've been listening to this album non-stop all night and into today - I haven't really slept," said the site's owner. "This is what we have been waiting for for three years."
In more Spice news, Posh Spice's husband says she isn't pregnant.
During a BBC1 interview, soccer star David Beckham cleared up a few rumours about he and his famous wife, Victoria, ananova.com reports.
Some of the rumours had been started earlier this year by Victoria herself, who told the press that her husband sometimes wears her underwear.
"When Victoria starts talking sometimes she can't stop," he said. "She says things that get a bit of coverage, but I love her still so it doesn't matter."
David also shrugged off rumours that Posh is pregnant, quipping: "It's not true - not that I know of."
Meanwhile, Victoria continues to open her mouth - now she's taking swipes at the popular Irish boyband Westlife, dotmusic reports.
The Spice Girls' album "Forever" will be released in the U.K. (Nov. 6) the same day as Westlife's new album, and there is already a fierce competition going on between the two pop acts.
Now, Posh is saying that Westlife's music is "boring".
Earlier this week, Westlife's Kian Egan dismissed the Spice competition, saying the group should "just call it a day now".
Victoria wasn't pleased by Kian's statements. She told a radio DJ in the U.K. exactly what she thought of Westlife.
"You're asking me personally if I think they're boring?," she said. "Yes, they are. Maybe they can't dance and haven't got any rhythm - because everything they do is so slow."
