Meet Melanie Brown

Video: Not so scary anymore!
Former Spice Girl MELANIE BROWN was given the nickname "Scary Spice" by the British media because of her outrageous, "in-your-face" attitude, thick Leeds accent, throaty laugh and manner of dress. The English pop singer, songwriter, actress, author and television presenter went her separate way after the group --one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, selling more than fifty-five million records worldwide-broke up and Brown developed a solo career, charting five UK Top 20 singles, including two Top 5 hits and a number 1 hit! She has sold over half a million records.

In September 2007, Brown joined the

fifth season of the U.S. television hit Dancing with the Stars with her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. The pair was the highest scoring couple during the season and in the season finale, although they had a perfect score on their final dance, took second place. She hosted TLC's The Singing Office reality series with Joey Fantone in 2008 and in April 2009, became one of the original stars of a Las Vegas revue called PEEPSHOW at the Las Vegas Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino. In January 2010, she was selected to replace Marissa Jaret Winokur as the new host of Oxygen's weight loss show, Dance Your Ass Off.

 

 

These days Mel and her husband, Stephen Belafonte, (a film and television producer as well as her business partner and best friend) , raise and her two daughters from prior relationships-Angel , 3 (with Eddie Murphy) and Phoenix, 11 (with ex-husband Dutchman Jimmy Gulzar)-under one happy roof in Los Angeles while running a production company and managing Mel's busy career.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MELANIE B can also soon be seen in a new docu-comedy series, "Mel B: It's A Scary World" (premiering September 5th on Style Network) that will show her juggling her multi-faceted career and raising her family while still finding time for her husband-all with style, a sense of humor and a serious does of "Girl Power." The leggy superstar, dynamic author and candid television personality has gone from party girl to power mom and wife with the same outspoken personality and no-holds-barred approach to life that thrust her into the headlines.
