Melanie Chisholm has started up a campaign for the Spice Girls to open the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The 36-year-old gave her backing to former manager Simon Fuller's plan to reunite the band for a special performance at the sporting event's opening ceremony.
"Officially we don't know anything yet but I think it's a brilliant idea," she said to WENN. "It would be wonderful for all five of us to appear and I'm sure all the girls would be up for it. Let's petition for this and make it happen."
Despite her enthusiasm for the reunion, Chisholm recently ruled out the possibility of another Spice Girls tour.

Avril Lavigne has a new single on the way off her forthcoming album that was inspired by family, friends, and personal relationships.
Many new stars have emerged since her last record, The Best Damn Thing, and when Maxim asked about Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Ke$ha, Avril dished, “It’s an interesting period in music right now,” adding that today’s stars are fueled by ‘80s inspiration.
“A lot of girls are really into their image and costumes and going over the top,” she said. “I really like Ke$ha. Her songs are fun to party to and her lyrics are hilarious.”
We couldn’t agree more!
As for what she looks for in a boyfriend (she’s dating Brody Jenner), Avril shared, “I like a classy man, a gentleman who opens the door and gives flowers and always puts the lady first. I’m a little old-fashioned like that.”

Hold onto your pink wigs. Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday is coming a little sooner than expected.
The debut album from rap’s reigning diva will arrive a day early on November 22, Rap-Up.com has learned. It will go up directly against releases from Kanye West (My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy), Akon (Stadium), Jay-Z (The Hits Collection Vol. 1), and Ne-Yo (Libra Scale), all hitting stores on the Monday before Black Friday. Prior to this shift, Minaj had been touting a November 23 release.
“To carry on a great tradition of Black Friday, we are going to switch it up this year in honor of the Nicki Minaj album and call that day Pink Friday, and call my album Pink Friday,” she previously told fans during a Ustream session.
Young Money’s First Lady has already started promoting the disc with appearances on the MTV Video Music Awards, “Late Show with David Letterman,” and “Live with Regis and Kelly.” The album has produced the singles “Massive Attack,” “Your Love,” “Right Thru Me,” and the will.i.am-assisted “Check It Out.”
