Bikini clad Melanie Brown swills champagne
After months of working out and eating well, Melanie Brown finally gets a chance to indulge her vices on holiday in Miami.
Bikini-clad Mel B swilled champagne and chain-smoked on romantic holiday in Miami after keeping in shape for the Spice Girls tour and her recent photoshoot for Ultimo swimwear and lingerie.
Dressed in her trademark style of a leopard-print bikini with bulky gold earrings, Scary Spice happily chaffed rose champagne and smoked a packet of cigarettes during her day by the pool.

Despite being handed two glasses with their ice bucket of bubbly, an enthusiastic Mel appeared to drink the bottle while husband Stephen was content to just bake in the sun.
The couple appeared to be having time off parenting the singer’s two children Phoenix Chi, nine, and Angel Iris, 13 months, – whose father is Eddie Murphy – and Stephen’s daughter Giselle.
They are just weeks away from their first wedding anniversary on June 6th.
The 32-year-old’s holiday comes just a week after her swimwear shots for British firm Ultimo were unveiled.
The Leeds-born star was unveiled as the new face of Ultimo last month, replacing Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding, and appears in ads for both the Scots firm’s lingerie and swimwear.

The singer admits she is in the best shape of her life due to her appearance on the U.S. talent show Dancing With The Stars and the subsequent Spice Girls tour.
Last month, Mel said: “I am over the moon to become the face and body of Ultimo lingerie. When (CEO) Michelle Mone asked me, I was ecstatic. I was so excited, but slightly nervous? I had never modelled lingerie before.
“The photoshoot in LA was fantastic. Ultimo lingerie gives you a superb shape and is so comfortable with sexy styles in every collection. I took every set home with me.”
Mel is taken a much needed holiday in Miami after a busy 12 months.
As well as starring on Dancing With The Stars and reuniting with the Spice Girls, Mel has also returned to the studio to record her third solo album and married producer Stephen in Las Vegas.

Melanie Brown featured in a number of colourful bikinis
Melanie Brown makes a splash today as a swimwear model.
The Spice Girl poses in a series of revealing shots for Ultimo’s Spring Summer 08 campaign, photographed in the sunny climes of Miami.
The 32-year-old is featured in a number of colourful bikinis, which show off her highly-toned physique.
The singer has already fronted the company’s lingerie collection.

Brown can credit the recent Spice Girls’ world tour and her appearance on US TV show Dancing With The Stars for her impressive figure.
The mother-of-two, labelled “queen of the floor” by her dance partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, made it to the final of the popular American show, but lost out in the viewer’s vote to Brazilian racing driver Helio Castroneves.
She took over as the face of Ultimo from a singer of another well-known girl group.

Girls’ Aloud star Sarah Harding has been the Face and Body of Ultimo’s A-C line since 2006.
Brown was signed up to be the face of the brand after owner Michele Mone saw her in a bikini in a paparazzi shot.
“Mel B is the biggest star Ultimo has ever signed and I am excited that this will take the brand onto another level,” said Mone.
“I saw a picture of her in a bikini in Miami and had to sign her for Ultimo,” she added.
Besides modelling for Ultimo and raising daughters Angel Iris and Phoenix Chi, the singer has also been busy working on a new album.
She has spent the past week working with some of the biggest producers in the music industry including Rodney Jerkins.

Melanie Brown showed off her enviable figure
Spice Girl Mel B has been unleashed as the new face of Ultimo lingerie and if these shots are anything to judge by she’s in better shape than ever.
Posing in a daring photoshoot above the LA skyline, the 32-year-old sparkles dressed in nothing but the company’s latest line of racy two-pieces and stilettos in some of the shots.
The singer follows in the footsteps of supermodels Helena Christensen, Rachel Hunter and Penny Lancaster but thanks to the Spice Girls’ gruelling reunion tour Mel looks just as good as her catwalk-strutting predecessors.

Her honed physique and glowing reputation stateside are reportedly the reasons behind the brand’s decision to hire her.
When the new appointment was leaked to The Sun earlier this month, a source from the company said: “We were blown away by the great shape she is in and desperate to land her. Mel B has never been bigger.”
Mum-of-two Mel said: “I am over the moon to become the Face and Body of Ultimo lingerie. When Michelle Mone asked me, I was ecstatic. I was so excited, but slightly nervous – I had never modelled lingerie before.
“The photoshoot in LA was fantastic. Ultimo lingerie gives you a superb shape and is so comfortable with sexy styles in every collection. I took every set home with me.”.

Meanwhile, Sarah Harding may be smarting at being replaced after just two seasons modelling for the company.
The 26-year-old signed a £100,000 deal with Ultimo in 2007 and was expected to negotiate an even bigger sum in her next contract.
Upon being dropped by the label, a source close to her told the People newspaper: “Sarah’s a bit upset but she is sure she won’t be short of modelling offers – plus she’s really busy with the group.”.

Leona sets the record for fastest-selling debut album
Leona Lewis has set a UK record for the fastest-selling debut album.
Spirit went straight in at number one, while the 22-year-old X-Factor winner’s song Bleeding Love also remained at the top of the singles chart for the fourth week running.
Leona’s album saw off stiff competition from the Spice Girls’ Greatest Hits album, which went in at number two.

A spokesman for Leona said: “On it’s first day of sales alone Spirit sold over 130,000 copies, which was outselling the rest of the top 10 put together.
“On average it worked out that Leona was selling an amazing 200 albums per minute.”
In this week’s singles chart, Take That stayed at number two with Rule The World with Timbaland’s Apologize another non-mover at three.

Spice spat as Geri claims Headlines for herself
When Geri Halliwell fell out with her fellow Spice Girls it resulted in the group disbanding. Now, with just months to go until their reunion tour, there has been the first difference of opinion.
After a meeting at Geri’s North London home, I hear Victoria Beckham, Melanie Chisholm and Melanie Brown are put out that Geri has been claiming the group’s new single Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) was largely down to her.
‘Geri is making it clear to all who listen that she wrote it with Emma Bunton and the others added their lyrics much later,’ says a source.
