"Mel B hubby is wife beater" - That's the subtle name of today's article in the Mirror UK about Mel B's new husband, Stephen Belafonte. The paper did some digging into Belafonte's past and found that in 2003 the music producer was arrested after attacking his common-law wife Nicole Contreras in a "drunken fury." But it gets better. An ex-girlfriend of Belafonte's told the Mirror:
"[Stephen] never invited me over, never introduced me to his friends, never talked about his family. We met about two weeks after he broke up with the mother of his daughter. But he later told me that he was still sleeping with her throughout the whole time we dated. I knew in my gut something wasn't right about this guy. He was such a psycho and all-round weirdo."
The Mirror adds:
Three years before his arrest for attacking Nicole, Belafonte had a brush with the law after he was accused of assaulting two men. According to the initial charges, he threw a missile at their car on the highway. The charge was reduced after he agreed to plead guilty to vandalism and pay for the damage to the car. (Source)
Holy shit, guy threw a missile at a car. That's pretty impressive--I can barely lift those things over my head. This dude's like a hornier version of The Incredible Hulk. Wait, The Incredible Hulk used to beat up chicks, right?

The reunion we all haven't been eagerly anticipating is finally here: the Spice Girls are back! The group will begin an 11-city worldwide reunion tour December 7th in Los Angeles. The Daily Mail reports:
The reunion tour, which is set to hit London on December 15 and take in Madrid, Koln, Las Vegas, Sydney, Cape Town and Buenos Aires among others will certainly be lucrative for the Spices. They are expected to pocket about $20 million each. Mel C said of their reunion: "We wanted to say thank you to our fans. It just feels very right for us." (Source)
I can think of exactly 20 million reasons why these nags are reuniting and not one of them involves thanking fans ... unless it's in the context of "buying t-shirts." Would it really be that bad to just admit they're going on tour because they squandered their fortunes on blow, 15-car garages, and for Victoria Beckham: plastic surgery? I heard she had so much work done last year she had to hire eight subcontractors.

A rep for former spice girl Melanie Brown ("Tranny Spice") confirmed to People magazine today that Eddie Murphy is the father of her two-month-old daughter, Angel Iris Murphy Brown. After months of denial, Murphy finally took a DNA paternity test last Monday. The results came back today confirming Mel B's suspicions. Ouch. So now the whole world knows he nailed this chick. And it's not like Eddie can blame it on being drunk. You'd die from alcohol poisoning long before this chick became even remotely hot ... or for that matter, long before she began to even look like a woman.
