In her Spice Girls heyday we were used to seeing her in costumes that consisted of shorts, bra, platform boots, and not much else. Mel B is a little more covered up these days, but her outfits are no less shocking. The singer arrived at the London screening of her new reality TV show, Mel B: It’s a Scary World in a skin-tight black catsuit.

Despite her eyebrow-raising outfit choice, the ‘loud-mouthed one’ from the girl band showed that she isn’t all that tough, recoiling from a fire breather at the party.

She clung to her husband Stephen Belafonte, as they were entertained by model and fire-breathing artist Leonie Alert at the May Fair Hotel on Sunday. While looked as though she hated being in the firing line, so to speak, the impressed look on her face was also clear to see.

Mel B: It’s A Scary World debuted yesterday on The Style Network, a month after it debuted on the Style Channel in the States.

Singer George Michael released from prison after four weeks

Pop star George Michael said yesterday that he wanted to “start again” after being released from prison. The 47-year-old singer said it was “fantastic” to be free after serving half of his eight-week sentence for crashing his Range Rover while high on cannabis.

The former Wham! star, whose real name is Georgios Panayiotou, said he wanted to stop running away from the press now that he had been released from Highpoint Prison in Suffolk. Speaking outside his home in north London, he told reporters: “I’m coming out here on my own so that you’ll realise I just want to start again. I’m going to try to stop running away from you guys.” He also said it was “fantastic” to be free, that he wanted to “go out”, and added: “It’s a beautiful day. I just want to say thank you for everybody who has supported me in there, it’s quite inspirational.” Michael was moved to the softer Category C Highpoint, where Moors Murderer Myra Hindley served the last three years of her life sentence, from Pentonville in north London last month. He was jailed on September 14 after he admitted driving while unfit through drugs and possessing two cannabis cigarettes when he appeared at London’s Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court. He will serve the remaining four weeks on licence, in addition to paying £1,365 in fines and costs and will be banned from driving for five years. He was sneaked out of the prison after being given special permission to leave before the regular 10:00 am release.

Lindsay Lohan gets treatment for Twitter ‘addiction’:

Lindsay Lohan is getting treatment for her addiction to Twitter. The actress, currently in rehab for substance abuse, has had her phone usage slashed by staff who want to wean her off the micro-blogging website and email. An insider revealed: “She is only allowed to use her phone for two hours a day, and only to keep in touch with her family and close friends.

Before, she would repeatedly and compulsively email her friends if she was ever in a situation where she felt lonely, and she would vent o n Twitter. ”

The policy — said to be common at the centre — was brought in so Lindsay can ‘concentrate on herself’ during therapy, the New York Post reports. Neuroscientists and psychotherapists have expressed concerns over the impact social networking sites have on the brain.

Lindsay, 24, voluntarily entered the Betty Ford Clinic in Los Angeles last month. She is due back in court on October 22 for a probation hearing after failing two drugs tests last month. Her last Twitter post was on September 26.
