The Spice Girls performing during their 2007 reunionRemember how impressive the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympics was? Well, it looks like the British Olympic committee are not to be outdone.

Rumour has it that pop mogul Simon Fuller is behind a move to get Sporty, Baby, Ginger, Scary and of course Posh, together in time for the 2012 opening of the London games.

Simon, 49, told the Mirror: "They stand for so much in British music history and I can't think of a better time for them to get back together for another performance. The demand for them as a band is as strong as ever."

We'd question that, but still. He also hinted at a farewell tour for the same year.

"They will not want to be performing hits like Wannabe in their 40s, but it's amazing how often people talk about another reunion. And I think if they do it, it's going to be in 2012."

Rumours of some kind of Spice reunion have been rife in recent months, though Geri Halliwell said: "Right now we are gathering information and thinking about possibilities. But you don't tell the world until it's concrete."

And the girls are all busy these days with their own projects. Mel C is performing in Blood Brothers in the West End, Emma Bunton is a DJ on Heart FM and Mel B is attempting to fashion herself into a TV presenter.

Victoria has made a storming success of her own fashion label and Geri is reportedly working on a movie screenplay (for which we can't wait), so quite where the Girls will manage to squeeze in the Olympics is anyone's guess.

But, as Gordon Brown says: "The 2012 Olympics will be spectacular. Music and the cultural aspects will be very important."

We're cringeing already.

The Spice Girls have already managed it once, and their are plenty of celebs making comebacks these days...
