Meanwhile, sinister newspaper owner Kevin McMaxford Barry Humphries is attempting to ruin the girls reputation for his newspapers ratings.

At the same time, the girls manager, Clifford Richard E. Grant, is fending off two overeager Hollywood writers, named Martin Barnfield and Graydon George Wendt and Mark McKinney, who relentlessly pitch absurd plot ideas for a feature film for the Spice Girls.Amid this, the girls must prepare for their live concert at the Albert Hall in three days, the biggest performance of their career. At the heart of it, the constant practices, traveling, publicity appearances, and other burdens of celebrity affect the girls on a personal level, preventing them from spending much time with their pregnant best friend, Nicola Naoko Mori, who is due to give birth soon. Throughout the busy schedule, the girls attempt to ask Clifford for time off to spend with Nicola and relax, but Clifford refuses after talking with the head of the girls record label, the cryptic and eccentric Chief Roger Moore.
