DRONE ALONE

Wahey! Single men of the UK can rejoice, because gorgeous, pouting Geri Halliwell and her bulbous nose are single again. Better brush up on those chat-up lines for the Ginger one, such as "Yes, I AM a millionaire" and "You have the voice of an angel" (Satan).

Feisty old Geri (who appears so tanned and gorgeous in the latest Spice Girls video that it looks as if someone has thrown an old leather handbag in front of the cameras) decided to ditch her boyfriend, a Russian billionaire who is due to inherit the Aeroflot empire, so he's well used to rusty old birds letting him down.

The reason is that Geri is far too busy for the emotion that humans call love and she has "no time for romance", though she does have time to spend in the company of Mel B and Posh. It's an odd and terrifying world, isn't it?

Poor old Evgeny Lebedev has jetted back to Russia (he made it there, so clearly didn't use his own firm) where he is nursing a broken heart and vowing to cheer himself up by buying some more vowels for his name. Cheer up, mate, it could have been worse - you could have been dropped by Sporty Spice. Oh. Maybe not.
