GERI HALLIWELL - HALLIWELL DATES HOLLYWOOD STAR

Former SPICE GIRL singer GERI HALLIWELL's dreams of conquering Hollywood may be poised to come true - she's been snapped cosying up to movie hunk JERRY O'CONNELL.

The popular actor - whose last film KANGAROO JACK topped the American box office earlier this year (03) - left a glitzy London restaurant on Tuesday (16SEP03) with a broad smile and an arm around Halliwell.

The pair met on the set of upcoming film FAT SLAGS - O'Connell plays a rich bachelor while the WANNABE star has taken on the role of his assistant.

And the romance is evidently in full swing - she's already met the actor's parents.
