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.

AG Pam Bondi's Brother Blames 'Rabid Partisans' After Getting Absolutely Walloped In DC Election

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump has often bragged about his overwhelming victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming he won by a landslide. But while he did manage to finally win a popular vote in 2024, something he lost in 2016 and 2020, it was hardly a landslide.

About 90 million eligible, registered voters didn't bother to vote at all in 2024, while Trump garnered only ~77 million votes, VP Harris received about ~75 million—a difference of only ~2 million which is less than the population of Trump's hometown of Queens, New York City.

Kristi Noem's Past Views On National Guard Come Back To Bite Her After She Backs Trump Amid LA Protests

California Governor Gavin Newsom called out the hypocrisy of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after sharing a clip from last year showing she'd once criticized the Biden administration for considering deploying the National Guard when Democrats suggested it as a response to Texas' immigration crackdown at the time.

That's noteworthy because Noem has made an about-face, defending President Donald Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests in response to his administration's immigration raids by claiming he'd taken this drastic step "for the safety of this community ... to keep peace."
