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!"

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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Whether we want to admit it or not, we've all had our fair share of carpool karaoke and maybe even imagined our car as our own personal recording studio.

But TikToker and Instagrammer Kaitlynn McCutcheon may have gotten too into her performance of Britney Spears' classic, "Hit Me Baby, One More Time," when the road and her car both said, "Bet."

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
