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)

We got really into this 9/02/10 day business, and it looks like some of the show’s stars did as well. Original casters Tori Spelling (@torianddean) and Jennie Garth (@jenniegarth), as well as Jennie’s husband Peter Facinelli (@peterfacinelli) Tweeted about the historic day. (Historic in pop culture land and least!) And what about notorious diva Shannen Doherty (@DohertyShannen)? Well, let’s just say Brenda Walsh is still off in her own world.

Tori got nostalgic and referenced her character Donna Martin:

Jennie Garth got into the spirit of things by giving a shout out to the cast of the new CW Bev Hills update:

Twilight vamp pop Peter Facinelli, tipped his cap to his lady:

And then there’s Shannen, the 90210-er who notoriously left the show after four seasons? She hasn’t Tweeted in nearly a month — and this is what she had to say last:

Hmmm – and with that, 9/02/10 day is complete.

Ashley Tisdale is heading up a new “comedy-drama” on the CW this fall called Hellcats, which is like Bring It On, but for college? You know what, at this point the CW cannot fail (except for the new 90210, RIP OP 90210) and the exclusive cast interviews (plus trailer!) makes us think that right now, our TiVo is sitting at home, programming itself to start recording this show.
