Here's how a "lazy journalist" changed Spice Girls history.

Nearly 20 years since they crashed into the zeitgeist with "Wannabe," the Spice Girls are still affectionately known by their personality-defining nicknames: Scary Spice, Ginger Spice, Posh Spice, Baby Spice and Sporty Spice. The names are forever part of the Girl Power lore, but they weren't actually an invention of the Spice Girls themselves, Melanie Brown told HuffPost Live on Tuesday.
"It was actually a lazy journalist that couldn't be bothered to remember all our names, so he just gave us nicknames," Mel B said. "And we were like, 'Oh, well, that kind of works. I don't mind my name. Do you like your name? Baby? Posh?' We were like, 'Let's just go with it.'"
That "lazy journalist" was Peter Loraine, who was editor of the British magazine Top of the Pops and led the 1996 meeting in which the names were devised. "We laughed the most when we came up with Scary," Loraine has said . "Jennifer Cawthron, who was also from Leeds, came up with that one because Mel B was so loud and had tried to take over our whole photo shoot."
Almost two decades later, as she prepares to judge the "America's Got Talent" finale Tuesday night on NBC, Mel B said she's never felt offended that millions of Spice Girls fans know her as Scary.
"I'm very kind of in-your-face," she said. "I was even more so back then. I was, what, 17, 18, like, 'What! What do you want?!' So I guess I could have come off as Scary. But I like my name."

Ever wondered the stuff that happened behind the scenes of the hottest girl group in the world?
Each decade has a special list of trends, popular actresses and singers, famous political people, and many pop culture references that we all know and love. The 1960s were all about peace, love, and lots of smoke (if you know what I mean!). The 1980s gave us pop songs like "Like A Virgin" from Madonna, along with super big hoop earrings and leg warmer trends. The 2000s gave us many Patriots' wins in the Super Bowl and Beyoncé essentially becoming the Queen of America.
The 1990s gave us many other things that we can reminisce about, things that give us serious nostalgia. But when it comes to people that made their place in the world and became timeless icons for decades to come, arguably no one has done it better than the Spice Girls! Posh, Sporty, Scary, Baby, and Ginger Spice gave us incredible hits like "Wannabe" and "Two Become One"-- and even gave us a movie, Spice World, in 1997. The movie made over $29 million in the United States alone, even though all the girls are originally from the UK.
However, many don't know the dark facts surrounding them. Below we outline sixteen of them; some that may surprise you, (they definitely surprised us!)
Who knew?! Not us, readers, but did you? Not so much of a dark secret, but still something that didn't seem to be front page news,
Emma Bunton aka Baby Spice was not an original member of the band. When the band was called Touch instead of the Spice Girls, the five members were Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Mel C, Geri Halliwell, and Michelle Stevenson.
She left before the band even really made a name for itself (clearly) due to two reasons: she had a family illness, as well as the fact that she had a goal of wanting to go to college too. Not long after her departure, she was replaced by Bunton, who was friends with Beckham-- and the rest is history, as they say.
Once the band was created thanks to Bunton as the fifth and final member, the girls were given nicknames as follows once they becam
