U2 will perform a free concert to help the city celebrate 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, MTV announced on Tuesday evening.

Spice Girls Rumored To Launch “Spice Idol” To Find Talented Ladies For A Spice Girls Themed Musical
Posted on 25. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
Groundbreaking ’90s pop band The Spice Girls are launching their own TV talent show which would select young girls for a musical based on the group’s rise to fame. The Spice Girls want to turn their story into a musical and are anxious to have a hand in selecting a cast to do just that.
“The girls would have to work intensely on a TV show for a short period of time. But they then launch a musical which could run for months or even years. It will take on a life of its own. The concept could even be replicated in other countries. The sky is the limit with this one,” an insider divulged to The Sun.
The show – rumoured to be called Spice Idol – will see the singers sit on an American Idol-style judging panel.
“This is an idea which appeals to all of the original members,” added the source. “It’’s a fantastic new way to broaden out the Spice franchise and cash in on their personalities, their story and their songs.”
