Melanie Brown Lives it Up in Monaco
Melanie Brown Lives it Up in Monaco
It’s been quite a year for Melanie Brown … from an uber-successful Spice Girls reunion to promoting a new line of lingerie, she’s been keeping busy.
And her latest undertaking, promoting Dancing With The Stars in Monte Carlo, seems to be going quite well, judging by the pictures from this morning’s photo call in Monaco.
Scary Spice looked white hot in a white plunging neckline summer dress along with a pair of white peep-toe heels and a big smile.
But as far as her new album/tour are concerned, things aren’t looking quite as bright. Last week Mel told the folks over at GMTV that she’d be touring with Janet Jackson on her upcoming fall tour. However, that may not be the case.
She told press, “I’m ten songs into my album and she [Janet Jackson] worked with me on one of the tracks. I’m also doing a tour of America with her in September, which I can’t wait for. She’s a great lady.”
Unfortunately for Mel, Janet’s management has come out saying that they don’t have any knowledge of such a tour arrangement. We’ll keep you posted.
Chickenpox Strikes Spice Babies!
Geri Halliwell is being forced to leave her 18-month-old daughter Bluebell at home while she and the other Spice Girls prepare to kick off their world tour in Vancouver on Sunday.
“Bluebell caught chickenpox from Cruz,” Halliwell (”Ginger” Spice), 35, revealed Friday morning on the British TV show GMTV. “She’s now completely pelted now so I left her at home. Normally they’re running around the set.”
As Halliwell suggests on the official Spice Girls’ blog, the outbreak was inevitable.
Daughter Bluebell, she says, “loves hanging with the Beckham boys. Cruz and Bluebell have play dates, and Romeo – well, he is just gorgeous with her. Actually, it was a beautiful moment when we were rehearsing the other day and all of our kids were playing on the stage at the same time. It made me smile.”
Between them, the girls have seven children: Victoria Beckham, 33, has three sons, Brooklyn, 8, Romeo, 5, and Cruz; Emma Bunton, 31, has one son Beau, born in August; Mel Brown, 32, has two children, Phoenix Chi, 8, and Angel, born in April, while Halliwell has little Bluebell. Melanie Chisholm, 33, so far is kid-less.
A Fan of Fainting
As for expectations of their tour, Victoria Beckham would like to hear sirens.
In a video posted Wednesday on the VBTV portion of her her blog, Beckham (”Posh” Spice) recounts a recent trip to Japan.
“There were lots of lovely little Japanese people there to greet me,” she says. “There were tears, which I always like. I think that shows you are a true fan, when you cry – or when you pass out.”
Yes, medical emergencies are a plus. “When the paramedics are called, it’s always a good sign,” she deadpans. “That shows real determination as a fan.”
As for how things are faring on the domestic front, Beckham also told Britain’s GMTV on Friday, “My husband [David Beckham]’s been away for a month. I go home, and I have three kids to look after. I was up at 5 o’clock this morning sorting everything out so then I’m ready for when I’ve got to take the kids to school.”
