Things have reportedly been hotting up between the two after they hit if off at the Olympics closing ceremony last month. However, their blossoming romance has apparently progressed a little too quickly for Ginger Spice, who is struggling to keep up with the quirky funnyman. Earlier in the week, Brand, 37, was spotted turning up at Geri's north London home with a DVD of Alan Bennett’s ­Talking Heads.And according to reports, Brand's overwhelming intelligence and intense spirituality does not sit well with the 40-year-old songstress.'Things are already cooling off,' a source told The Mirror. 

Russell’s way into very intense spiritual readings that are just too much, even for Geri. He is way too intense, full stop. He turned up with Talking Heads... it went straight over Geri’s head.'I don’t think she really fancies him, she’s just enjoying the ­attention. It will be yoga, sex and fizz, but it won’t last the distance. He’s off back to LA soon and she’s not planning on going with him.'The insider went on to say that Russell has been Geri's perfect pick-me-up following the recent Spice Girls reunion.Geri hoped her performance with the Spice Girls at the Olympics would open doors but it hasn’t. Russell’s taken her mind off it all,' the source explained. After the 90s girl group belted out a Wannabe/Spice Up Your Life medley at the Olympic Park on August 12, Brand - who was once married to Wide Awake singer Katy Perry - exposed himself as a closet Spice Girls fan.He told Metro afterwards: 'I’ve got Spice-mania again now. I’m obsessed with them. It’s like 1996 all over again.

The Spice Girls were a British pop girl group. The group consisted of Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell. They were signed to Virgin Records and released their debut single, "Wannabe" in 1996.

Everybody loved the Spice Girls when they burst onto the music scene back in 1996, when "wannabe" hit the charts and the five 'spices' erupted into the lives of everyone and anyone, Girl Power came into our lives, like we didn't even know we were missing. "The gap between the number of male and female entrepreneurs may be closing, but it still exists. However, the UK boasts some fabulously impressive women who have started fantastic businesses" as stated on the www.startups.co.uk website. Showing "girl power is on its way back up" stated LMS director Tim Kennedy. A learning management system (commonly abbreviated as LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, and reporting of training programs, classroom and online events, e-learning programs, and training content.

The Sunday times Rich List shows the mere mortals how the other half live, with the number of billionaires rising from 53 to 73 in one year alone, and for the first time ever more than 100 women appear in the top 1000 Rich list. "I think the Rich List is a great tool in business, it makes me want to succeed, and better myself all the time. I've constantly got entrepreneurs and high profile business people that I obtain to be like. It generally fills my head full of ideas and always leads me onto another idea" stated LMS owner Tim Kennedy.

The press, magazines and high fashion has often been blamed for the attitude of young girls towards themselves and their bodies, but having taken a look at the rich list of 2011, a strong female is also a role model when it comes to business, wealth and independence.

LMS was excited to hear that Britain now has its first self made female billionaire. Dame Mary Perkins, the co founder of Specsavers is now Britain's sixth richest woman worth £1.15 billion. "In another life she would have loved to have been a librarian" stated thisismoney.co.uk website, now operating a billion pound family run business, that's debt free, Dame Mary "hasn't succumbed to the trappings of your average billionaire!" continued This Money. If success is depicted by wealth, then Dame Mary is a major success story, even by the Spice Girls' standards. Girl Power prevails!
