VICTORIA Beckham earned £1million from music in the past year — despite not singing a note since 2012.

The former Spice Girl, 50, made the fortune through royalties from her solo career and time with the chart-topping group.

But despite not touring or recording, Posh Spice has pocketed enough from pop to help offset the £2.9million losses reported at her fashion and beauty firm — Victoria Beckham Holdings — in the same year.

According to documents lodged at Companies House for the period ending March 2024, she now has £2.4million in her firm Moody Productions, which she set up in 1997 to look after her music earnings.

Victoria has not set foot on stage since she performed with the Spice Girls at the Olympics closing ceremony in London in 2012.

Paperwork for the singer said the earnings are due to “recoupment of music recording and publishing royalties and endorsement activities”.

As well as her three studio albums with the Spice Girls, Victoria released a self-titled solo album in 2001.

She now has 19,900 monthly listeners on Spotify, compared to 659,800 for her bandmate Melanie C, 50.

The Spice Girls still have 12.6million monthly listeners on the streaming platform.

In 2022, Victoria said she hadn’t joined the Spice Girls’ lucrative 2019 reunion tour in UK stadiums because she was focusing on her fashion and beauty brand.

Victoria, who has been married to husband David, 49, since 1999, explained: “I had so much fun being in the Spice Girls.

“But I think that now, with everything else that I’ve got going on with my fashion and beauty line, and four children, I couldn’t commit to that.”

ELMA Pazar has shut down the rumours that she and her TOWIE co-star are loved up.

Elma, 31, will enter the Love Island: All Stars villa on Monday, with the stunning reality star gearing up for her second-ever stint on the show.

After lasting just a week in the villa when she was on the show the first time around, Elma seems keen to find love this time, with her quick to bat down any romance rumours between herself and one of her TOWIE co-stars.

When Elma left Love Island, she soon went on to become a cast member of ITVBe’s The Only Way Is Essex.

Striking up a romance with TOWIE star Diags, viewers were hooked as the couple had an on-and-off relationship.

And more recently, Elma was romantically linked to TOWIE co-star Sammy Root when he was seen flirting with her.

But Elma is certain that there was nothing more to her and Sammy’s bond other than some harmless flirty banter.

“We were flirty and Sammy is always flirty,” she told The Sun in an exclusive chat.

“If he was a bombshell, he’s still quite young. I know I always say that I’m not fussed about age to a certain extent, I can flirt with Sammy but I don’t think I can see anything with Sammy.

“I want a geezer that’s going to want what I want and I don’t think I can see Sammy wanting what I want.”

ELMA WANTS TO FIND A GEEZER IN THE VILLA

She went on to say: “I don’t there is one guy that’s my type. There are so many qualities from different people, there has been no Islander who I think ‘him’.

“I can’t give a name, a lot of the people I know from a long time ago and I’ve not watched the recent Love Island’s.

“I’ve changed so much and I can’t base it until I’m in there and I know them.

“Thinking that I know someone’s personality off social media would be very naive of me.”

SELF CONTROL TO NOT ROMP ON TV

Then, revealing whether or not she’d get busy in the bedroom on national television, Elma responded by saying: “God forbid, I’m a woman.

“I don’t think I would. I wouldn’t want to do that.

“I like to think I have a bit more self-control and I can wait more than five weeks.”

Kerry put the results of her impressive weight loss on full display just this week as she stepped out at the series launch party of Geordie Shore.

However, Kerry has admitted that one of the reasons behind her shock transformation is the “stress” she has been under since splitting from her fiancé, Ryan Mahoney.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Kerry said: “I just look thinner in real life.

“I have no idea how many stone I’ve lost. I’ve been doing Panto and the separation – you name it, I’ve done it.

“It’s probably the stress, I’ve been very stressed.”

Kerry and Ryan called it quits towards the end of last year after six years together after the Atomic Kitten singer felt unsupported by her long-term partner.

Adding of her outlook for the year ahead after her weight loss, the reality star added: “There’s no New Year resolution for me, I’m always trying to be a better version of myself.

“I don’t really drink, no dry January, it’s just me always trying to better myself.

“In 2025, I’m just being in love with myself, knowing my worth.”

But one thing which is seemingly off the cards for Kerry this year is dating.

She admitted that she was very much single in the wake of her split and appeared to suggest she wasn’t looking for love again anytime soon by deciding to focus on herself.

Kerry told us: “Life is amazing at the moment. I’m enjoying single life – but I’m not single, I’m in a relationship with me.

“No [dating] … just me and my kids. That’s it.”

It comes after the 44-year-old confessed she was no longer “heartbroken” over the split and had begun to move on.

In her latest New! magazine column, she wrote: “‘I’m feeling really good going into 2025 – it’s going to be a great year. I’m not heartbroken anymore and feel like I know that Ryan wasn’t the one for me.“

Kerry and Ryan got engaged four years ago during a romantic holiday to Spain.

The star has been married three times – tying the knot with Brian McFadden in 2002, then Mark Croft in 2007 and George Kay in 2014.

MANCHESTER CITY must do “something extraordinary” if they want to sign £50million-rated Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush this month.

The Egyptian, 25, is the top target for Pep Guardiola as he looks to replace Julian Alvarez and provide some support for Erling Haaland.

However Eintracht are reluctant to sell their star players as they are going well in both their domestic league and the Europa League this season.

Frankfurt have no plans to let Marmoush leave following 18 goals in 24 games this term.

Director of football Markus Krosche said: “Our basic intention is to keep the squad together.

“Something extraordinary would have to happen for us to move away from this position.”

In the meantime, City are also looking to finalise an agreement with Lens for defender Abdukodir Khusanov.

The Uzbekistan international has been targeted by a host of clubs and is rated at around £30m by his current employers.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray are keeping close tabs on Ilkay Gundogan’s situation at the Etihad.

The former skipper returned to Man City in the summer – just a year after leaving to join Barcelona.

He signed a 12-month deal with the option of a further year but the move has not worked out as well as all parties hoped.

The 34-year-old has been needed more than expected due to Rodri’s injury but has struggled during a difficult season for the champions.

He has been on the bench for the last three matches and City are on the lookout for midfield reinforcements in the January transfer window.

Guardiola does not want to lose players this window so a move to Turkey is more likely in the summer.

Before he became famous on TV’s Adventures of Superman, George Reeves had the distinction of appearing in two films that won the Academy Award for Best Picture. In Gone With the Wind, he had a small role as one of Scarlett O’Hara’s suitors. He also played a sergeant in 1953’s war drama From Here to...
