Halliwell's Instagram post celebrating her fellow Spice Girl's birthday accidentally included a message to someone named 'Pippa' before it was later edited—and fans are cracking up.

Geri Halliwell took to Instagram to wish her fellow Spice Girl Mel B a happy birthday last week, but it wasn't without some hiccups.

Currently, the celebratory post is captioned:


Happy birthday @officialmelb ! Hope you have an amazing day! đŸŽ‰đŸ„łđŸŽ

Super sweet, right?

You may have noticed, however, that the post has been edited.

So what did it say before?

Well, thanks to some trigger-fingered fans, screenshots of the original caption were captured, and it's pretty hilarious, actually.

The birthday message to Mel B originally read:

"Sent images to Pippa and this wording asked her to tweak where needed"
"Happy birthday @officialmelb ! Hope you have an amazing day!"

@gerihalliwellhorner/Instagram

In case you, too, were confused, Pippa is the name of Geri's publicist.

Oops.

While the post truly was delightful, with Halliwell paying homage to the birthday girl by way of images of Spice Girls past...

... fans in the comments couldn't resist getting in jabs about the quickly altered (~ 24 minutes according to some eagle eyes) Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V caption.

A few managed to sneak in non-Pippa-related comments to send Scary Spice some birthday love.

Well, this certainly doesn't do much to quash the rumors about a feud between Mel B and Halliwell. That and Mel B saying Halliwell is "really f**king annoying" less than two years ago...

But we hope she had a wonderful birthday, nonetheless.

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

Economic policy is certainly on everyone's minds these days. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows that Americans are not pleased with President Donald Trump’s management of the economy, leaving him with unfavorable ratings on what is considered the nation’s most important issue.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
