FASHION CAREER
By Hello.com Thanks to Emily Sullivan @ Hello.com to send this in.

Even among her Cavalli-dressed colleagues, Melanie Brown always stood out in the Spice Girls line-up. And now, with her first clothing line about to hit the stores, fans of the leopard-print loving singer have the chance to copy her distinctive style.

In a spirit of friendly rivalry with her bandmate Victoria Beckham, who’s been in the fashion business for years, the dynamic Leeds girl and new face of lingerie brand Ultimo, has been secretly at work on a range called Catty Couture.

Reflecting the contents of Mel’s own wardrobe, the body-hugging designs feature plenty of her signature animal print motifs.

While Posh’s dVb range focuses mainly on jeans, Melanie’s collection is made up of flirty tops, jackets and skirts for the fun-loving girl about town.

TV SHOW
Meanwhile, Mel’s continued bid to forge a career stateside has finally paid off as she has landed a new TV show. The Leeds born Spice Girl will pair up with Joey Fatone, of Justin Timberlake’s former chart-topping boy band Nsync, to find undiscovered musical talent — in the office. On “The Singing Office”, Fatone and Brown will surprise unsuspecting employees in workplaces across the country by showing up and holding impromptu auditions.

Mel said: “It’s not like American Idol or Dancing With the Stars. It’s not a serious competition. It gives people a break from their everyday lives to have some fun with their co-workers.”

Mel B. — a.k.a. Melanie Brown a.k.a. Scary Spice — is busy laying tracks for a new album she expects to have ready for release late this year. “It’s an R&B-pop kind of thing, a cross between Pink and Destiny’s Child. Urban pop. That’s what I do best, where I come from, what people know me for,” reports Mel.

“I’ve recorded four songs so far with some really great people,” she says. She’ll begin work with super producer Rodney Jerkins next week.

She’s also busy with her “Access Hollywood” gig — reporting on “Dancing With the Stars” and chatting up contestants on the program on which she wowed viewers as the perfect-score-getting runner up of Season 5.

And she has her own soon-to-be-announced reality show with Joey Fatone already in production for TLC. “The Singing Office,” premiering in June, has Mel and Joey pitted against each other to find the best singers out there working in typical American offices. She and her producer husband, Stephen Belafonte, are also exec-producers.

And she’s launching her own Catty Couture clothing line — heavy on her beloved animal prints — with a fashion show for buyers set to take place in downtown L.A. Monday 4/7.

All in all, it’s a very good period for Mel, who’s certainly had her share of lows — including the failures of past solo music ventures and the relationship with Eddie Murphy that begat daughter Angel Iris and ended bitterly, with Murphy refusing to acknowledge paternity ’til DNA test results came in. Angel turned 1 year old yesterday (4/3), and Mel, who also has 9-year-old daughter Phoenix, planned a baby party.

“Life’s all ups and downs,” she muses. “It’s all relative.”
