Scary outfit! Mel B goes out shopping in garish dress for new reality TV show

By Jody Thompson

Girl on film: Mel B gets a picture for posterity of her It's A Scary World film crew as she shops in Los Angeles yesterday


When most people head out for a bit of retail therapy, they wear comfy shoes and casual wear for all those hard hours pounding pavements and hitting changing rooms - but not Mel B.

The former Spice Girl was snapped out shopping yesterday in Los Angeles and looked like she was about to hit a club rather than a fashion boutique.

Then again, the Yorkshire gal's latest fashion foray was all being caught on camera for her new reality TV show.


Hitting the shops: It was hard to miss the former Spice Girl in her brightly-coloured dress and neon-blue heels


Yes, even choosing a frock is now fodder for filming as the launch date for Mel's new onscreen vehicle grows close.

Mel, already the host of US diet, dance and fitness show Dance Your A** Off, is busy getting footage together for the Mel B: It's a Scary World,.

The cameras will follow the now Los Angeles-based star balance being a mother to Phoenix, 11 and three-year-old Angel, along with being a TV presenter, model, singer, die-hard gym bunny and wife to movie producer husband Stephen Belafonte.

Hence the singer wearing a neon-coloured zizag summer mini-dress and acid blue, skyscraper strappy sandals in the mall in West Hollywood.


Happy couple: Mel B and husband Stephen Belafonte out in LA earlier this month


The outing follows the star being snapped last month hula-hooping in six inch heels - also while being filmed out on a shopping trip.

Filming started last month and the show - taglined 'Chaos is the Spice of life' - launches in the US on September 9 on cable channel Style.

The singer - known to her mother as Melanie Brown - has previously said that the show will be e 'crazier than the Osbournes.'

She added: 'I'm not exactly going to be Miss Goody Two Shoes and play it completely by the book. I'm going to be me.

'I like to wake up at 11pm and if I've got a song in my head, go to the studio and record it, then go back to bed, and then wake up the kids and take them to school.
'That's the kind of life I like to live. A very creative life.'

We just hope that the Leeds lass's fruity Northern accent doesn't need subtitles for her American audience...
