George Michael is planning to host an elaborate baby shower for Geri Halliwell, indicating that the pair have patched up their long-standing rift.

Michael and his partner Kenny Goss have been friends with the former Spice Girl for over ten years, but tensions emerged five years ago when the WHAM! singer claimed Geri was using him for publicity.

However, after getting pregnant by ex-boyfriend Sascha Gervasi, Halliwell, 33, has benefitted from their support, and these new party plans show that their troubles are truly in the past.

One source revealed the details to The Mirror: "Kenny's making sure there's a beautiful spread of chocolates and cakes, as well as salads and lighter dishes. He's going to fill their home with bright, fresh flowers and balloons. He wants everything to be perfect - like a real, traditional American Park Avenue baby shower."

Guests will include Halliwell's mother Anna Maria, as well as fellow ex-Spice Girls Emma Bunton and Mel C. Victoria Beckham is reportedly unable to attend due to a commitment in Madrid, but has sent a gift.
