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.”

A new audio gallery is online: going into multimedia> audio and clicking on the SPICE banner you’ll have access to a page with mp3 downloads from the Return of the Spice Girls Tour shows. With two concerts available: December 05, in Los Angeles (full!), and December 15 and 16, both in London (some songs). Los Angeles mp3s by Aut0mat1c (Denden user), and London mp3s by BBC. Thank you!

Mel B has signed up as a guest judge on U.S. talent show Step it up + Dance. She continues as dancing correspondent for Access Hollywood in “Dancing with the stars.” The video folder from the show, available by Fernanda from VivaSpiceGirls.com is updated, bringing all of Mel’s cameo ready to download. Click HERE and download them all!

The official website MelanieBrown.com was also updated, bringing the confirmations to the rumours circulating all over the net: Mel B will launch her fashion line and – even better – a third solo album – if everything’s work out, we’ll see a release this year. Fingers crossed!

About the Spice Girls, was published (another) thanks/farewell at TheSpiceGirls.com, which follows below:

The Spice Girls would like to thank each and every one of you that has taken the time to write and tell them just how much you enjoyed the Return Of The Spice Girls Tour. The girls worked really hard on the show, and hearing how much you loved it has made all of the work worthwhile!
