Mel B’s US dream is ‘falling apart’
Posted in Mel B on the August 25, 2009
Former Spice Girls star Mel B is reportedly feeling the pressure as her US dream is said to be falling apart.
The 33-year-old star, who is set to return to the UK soon to spend a week guest presenting on ITV’s Loose Women, moved to Los Angeles six years ago to make it big but is struggling to find work there.
A source told British magazine Closer: “Mel is upset about how things have turned out. She is very low in confidence right now.”
Mel’s last job was working on PeepShow, a raunchy burlesque show in Las Vegas.
A source close to Mel said: “She was very upset when she was replaced by Hugh Hefner’s ex-girlfriend, Holly Madison. She had plenty of contacts over there promising her the moon, so she decided to move out and go for broke but it never happened.”
Mel’s marriage to Stephen Belafonte is also thought to be feeling the strain.
Her friend added: “Stephen is Mel’s manager, so their world revolves around Mel’s career. Working together and being married puts a strain on them - especially with Mel not getting any work.”

Lily Allen Threatens Katy Perry
Posted in Life Style, Mel B on the January 12, 2009
Lily Allen is still steaming over Katy Perry’s comment that implied that the British singer was fat. Lily’s still not over it and now, she is threatening to publicize Katy’s phone number on Facebook. Lily wrote about it on her Facebook page saying “I have Katy Perry’s number, someone did me a favour. I’m just waiting for her to open her mouth one more time then it hits Facebook.” It’s not like it’s hard to get your number changed before talking smack again. That should frustrate Lily even more. But if Katy’s not smart, she’s going to have a lot of annoying phone calls, I’m sure.

Mel B is recording a duet with Janet Jackson for her new album. The Spice Girls star, whose last single ‘Today’ failed to break the Top 40 when it was released in 2005, believes the collaboration will secure her chart success this time round.
She said: “I am doing something with Janet Jackson which should be amazing. I am also going to hook up with Missy Elliott again.”
Mel teamed up with Missy Elliott for her debut solo track ‘I Want You Back’. The 1998 track was her only single to top the charts after she left the Spice Girls. The 33-year-old singer insists she isn’t worried about going it alone again and is convinced she has the best people in the music business working on her third solo LP.
Mel added: “I am not scared of having another try. I am working with the best producers ever. I am now 10 tracks in to my new record.”
The star’s previous albums were ‘Hot’, which was released in 2000 and 2005’s ‘LA State Of Mind’.

Sources are saying that another Spice Girl is working on a solo album and that Spice Girl happens to be Mel B. A release date and a record label have yet to be finalized and named but the artist famously known as Scary has already begun working with some of the biggest producers in the biz. An insider says that “Mel is going for a pop sound with a bit of an urban edge.†Her choice of collaborators reflect that as the list includes Scott Storch, Damon Elliot, JR Rotem, Richie Skillz and Rodney Jerkins. With all the talent associated with those names, her album sounds promising already.
