Did 9/02/10 day start a 90s-nostalgia trend? Word’s out about a brand new Spice Girls musical, set to debut in 2012. Except it turns out Viva Forever (um, long live forever?), won’t actually feature any of the singers or even mention their names. Instead, the play will be about… drumroll please… reality TV!

The Spices have all signed off on the musical, which will involve their girl-powered songs. Inspired by our fame-obsessioned culture, Viva will be set behind-the-scenes of a TV talent show. Producer Judy Craymer, the woman behind Mamma Mia, described the show as encompassing ”the Spice Girls’ ethos of friendship, identity and being true to yourself.”

Are we finally going to find out what it means to zigazag-ha?

Spice Girls Musical Only Sorta About the Spice Girls

It’s a dress… it’s a chair… it’s a dress-chair! French artist Geraldine Husson has taken the idea of comfortable clothing to its logical extreme with her collection of wearable seats. Obsessed with the relationship between art, design and architecture, Geraldine created what she describes as “objects to live in.” Take a look at our gallery of some of Geraldine’s wildest creations.

A spectator brawl broke out during last night’s U.S. Open match, leaving three people in handcuffs. The fight was so intense that player Novak Djokovic (the eventual winner of the set) abandoned his racket to watch the madness unfold. The video, shot by another spectator, doesn’t pick up any of the brawlers’ audio, but we did a little detective work. The Gloss editor Lilit Marcus‘ mom, who’s hard of hearing and an excellent lipreader, translated some of the dialogue for us — and it seems to be a battle over seating. Here’s what she made out:

“I’m in my seat.”
“Get the f*ck out of here!”
“For what?”
“Shut up.”
“He said go down there!”

And then there there’s some punching, which needs to translation. Man, who knew tennis fans could be so brutal?

Japan’s Cat Cafes – Two-dozen cats roaming the floors of a cafe? It’s not a Pixar movie, it’s Japan! At Osaka’s Cats’ Time Cafe, feline-lovers without pets of their own can come play with the coffee shop’s furry creatures. The spot charges roughly for an hour of cat-petting time, with an unlimited access pass going for (which includes a free drink and all the health violations you can fit in your purse.) (via Time)

Kate Hudson believes in love and thinks it’s beautiful — which is fortunate for her new boyfriend, Muse singer Matt Bellamy. Though Kate, formerly married to Black Crows rocker Chris Robinson, won’t be interviewing flower girls any time soon.  Kate says she’s happy just getting to know Matt and seeing where it all goes.

Here’s the romantic quote, in all its trite glory:

“I do believe in love. I believe that when you really open yourself up to love, it’s the most beautiful thing.”

Just once, we’d like to hear a celeb offer an Agnostic view of Cupid, if only just to keep things interesting.

Breaking Dawn Walks Like An Egyptian – Okay, vampires and pyramids? That’s actually sort of original. We’re impressed that the final Twilight films will be adding desert hottie Rami Malek (from Night at the Museum) to play the Egyptian Benjamin. Now, if only he were Saphardic, so our Bubby’s would approve! (via Fandango)
