Emma Stone has long been a fan of the Spice Girls, famously talking about her childhood heroes on various chat shows. And now she's amped up the love, paying tribute to the girls, alongside pop stars Haim, in a charity advert reprising the Girls' Stop music video.
If you weren’t one of the lucky thousands to nab a much-coveted ticket to the 2019 reunion tour to see Geri, Mel C, Mel B and Baby play the hits again, you’ve got another chance.
You see, Omaze, this company that does ridiculous money-can’t-buy experiences with celebrities, has set it up so that people donate money to various great causes. And then, one lucky donor gets picked at random and then they get to partake in the incredible experience. In this case, the winner will be put up in a 4-star hotel, then ride in a car with Emma and Haim to Wembley Stadium and then, then... get to watch the show with them! Afters, the extraordinarily lucky/rich winner will meet the actual Spice Girls backstage at a meet-and-greet. It’s sort of like gambling, but if gambling mostly made money for great causes, such as Girl Up, the Los Angeles LGBT centre, PATH, Comic Relief UK the Child Mind Institute and girls’ education via the Charities Aid Foundation of America.
If you’re not in it for the big win - you’ll be up against people buying loads and loads of entries into the ballot - you can also bid, say, $5,000 for a personalised voice message from Haim, or $5,000 for a La La Land script signed by Emma.
An extra add-on to this opportunity is that Emma gets pretty excited around the Spice Girls, having wept on Australian TV when Mel B sent her a video message on an iPad. She later told Graham Norton: ‘I was a fiend, I was obsessed with the Spice Girls and they taught me about Girl Power and I love them, I think they're fantastic!’ So whoever wins will not only get all the lavish experiences, but the absolute gold of being able to see her freak out while watching the Spice Girls! And then, you’ll get to see her freak out when meeting them!
