Former Spice Girl Geri Haliwell is relaunching her pop career with a comeback single which will be out next year.
The 38-year-old is also planning to launch her own record label and is working with girl group 'Bel Amie, former participants of 'X Factor', reported Sun online.
But before that, she is set to enter the studio to work on her comeback single, which is thought to be a cover version of a classic track.
"She has been texting all of her friends, including Victoria and David Beckham, asking for their favourite tracks for her to record," said a source.
It will be Haliwell's first release since 2005's album 'Passion', which totally tanked.
Perhaps she's hoping to capitalise on possible renewed interest in her and her former Girl Power exponents with the opening next year of 'The Spice Girls Musical'.
With the working title Viva Forever, it's being written by 'Mamma Mia' helmers Judy Craymer and Jennifer Saunders.
Twenty intimate gifts including jewellery which charted the love affair between Simpson and the Duke of Windsor, sold for a whopping $12.5 million.
The star attraction was the panther bracelet, which went for an astonishing USD 7 million after a nail-biting battle between two telephone bidders, making it the most expensive bracelet ever sold, reported Daily Mail online.
The total smashed the auctioneer's estimate of $ 5 million and also made Simpson's jewels the most expensive single-owner collection ever auctioned.
Two years after Edward's accession as King, Simpson had divorced her second husband and married him.
The King's desire to marry a woman with two living ex-husbands caused a constitutional crisis in the UK, which ultimately led to the King's abdication in December 1936 to marry "the woman I love".
Up for grabs were intimate gifts, all made by Cartier, marking the couple's romance from its earliest days to their 20th wedding anniversary. Many pieces were inscribed with dedications of their love.
The collection was sold on behalf of millionaire Wafiq Said, who snapped it up in 1987, when 300 pieces were auctioned a year after Simpson's death.
Edward gave Wallis the panther bracelet in 1952 when they were living in exile in Paris as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Madonna, who is making a film about the duchess, was said to be among its admirers in the run-up to the sale.
Last night Sotheby's, which held the sale in London, would not say whether she was the new owner.
