On TOTP, this past weekend, Melanie C revealed that they just finished the video for the Spice Girls next single off their new third album:
"I was nervous before going on stage, but there was so much love from the crowd when I went on that I had a brilliant time. There is so much energy that you just
lose yourself. Life for me is fantastic right now, everyone's doing their solo projects at the moment. We've also just finished the third Spice Girls album and shot the
next video. The album should be out in maybe October or November."
Saturday,Melanie C performs on Top Of The Pops(UK). Melanie was one of the few performers to sing live. She performed
"Never Be The Same Again". Melanie C responded back to gruesome media alligatios by wearing a black t-shirt that read: "Tabloids, Kiss My...", and the back said "Fat Ass" with the word Fat crossed
out and replaced with the word "Fit". This was in response to the media poking fun at her weight gain, she has now lost those few extra pounds.
Melanie C will be performing at this year's Party In The Park music festival which takes place on July 9th in London's Hyde Park. Tickets are on sale now and are expected to sell out within two days. Call 0870 7300958 for tickets.

Rodney Jerkins, one of the main producers on the Spice Girls' third album, was recently interviewed by Black Beat Magazine(US), and there
were some bits about Spice Girls:
Magazine: What in the world are you doing with the Spice Girls?!!
Rodney: Aww man, it came out phenomenal! I originally did three songs, and then they
wanted me to do more songs. Believe it or not, I think people are gonna be
shocked at how good they sound.
Magazine: You got them singin'?
Rodney: Yeah, they sound good. I mean, they sound like the Spice Girls, you know
it's them. With the songs that I did, I wanted to give a mixture. I wanted
to do one that was strictly Darkchild and make you dance. So I did something
like that. Then I wanted to do something on their tip, something pop and
uptempo. Something that I haven't done, that can take me to another level,
that can make Backstreet Boys and N'Sync call.
Northern-Star.co.uk posted revised TV listing:
Note that the Jerry Springer show is one where he hosts and interviews celebrity guests. It's not the trashy US show.

Rumour
J denies Melanie C on Brazilian TV:

VJ: But yesterday I saw an interview with Mel C, and she said that you two are dating.
J: No, No we are not dating.
VJ: And she also said that Ricky Martin is pretty cute, but is no J.
J: Really?! Well, what can I say...
Melanie C will be doing an interview on 101.1 TTFM on Monday, May 15th, at 9pm Australian Eastern Time.
Melanie C commented on the new Spice Girls album:
"We have got some mums in the band but it's not a mature album, it's still cheeky and fun, and very danceable to when you're drunk."
Talking to Heat (check out the articles section) Melanie C says the next Spice Girls single will be a ballad entitled "Let Love Lead The Way". The track will be released in August, with the full album coming in September. Melanie said about "Let Love Lead The
Way":
"It's just about love conquering all, really. Highs and lows, happy times and sad times - it's about life."
She also said:
"People keep expecting rubbish from the Spice Girls, but the Spice Girls are never gonna give rubbish."
Melanie also said the yet untitled album will be more r&b based and is currently in the mixing stages.
There was a ruling today in the London High Court case of the pre-fame Spice Girls home videos.
There are four videos in total which show how life was before Spice Girls made it big, from 1994 through 1995. Judgement was for the defendant Neil Davies and Helen Bowers,
the widow of the producer Matthew Bowers. Justice Pumphrey declared that Davis and Bowers are the sole owners of the videos and dismissed the idea that former business
partners Steve Newmanand and John Gaudino each were entitled to a one-third share of Davies' 50 percent interest in the recordings after they claimed they were in
partnership with him when the videos were produced. Davies, Newmanand, and Guadino were involved in a company called Rave Productions which was setup only
after the videos were already recorded.

Brit Awards TV Listing in the US. This contains a unique live performance of the Spice Girls.
Melanie C's "Never Be The Same Again" has gone #1 in Singapore, Malaysia and many other Asian countries. Congrats Melanie!
Heat Magazine(UK), Melanie C responds back to tabloid hell:
"If I was gay I'd admit it. People keep asking me when I'm going to come out. But I'm never going to come out because I'm not gay. So stop it! I don't really care what people
say about me. But if I was gay I couldn't live lie. I'm too honest a person, I would admit to it. I've had worse things said about me in the paper. It's not even a bad thing, it's just
not true. I think it's always been funny before, but it's gone beyond a joke this time. Ying is a professional woman, she just wants to do her job, and she does it well. All this
innuendo about us is lies."
Mel also explained her recent slight bit of weight gain:
"The reason I've put on weight is simply because I've not been training ashard as normal. I've been going out, I've been drinking, I've been eating junk food, I've
been enjoying life... and I've put on a bit of weight."
Mel also says she is back in the gym working out, back to her normal routine.
Northern-Star.co.uk has revealed that Melanie C's next single(UK) will be "I Turn To You", and will be released on July 24th.
