Sporty Spice Mel C performed at Top Of The Pops (UK) on Saturday. She was one of the few there that sang her song "Never Be The Same Again" live. The most attention grabbing part of her performance was her t-shirt, which fired a message back at the media. The front of the shirt read "Tabloids, Kiss My...", and the back said "Fat Ass" with the word Fat crossed out and replaced with the word "Fit". Mel was firing back at the media for making such a big deal about a small amount of weight she gained for a short period of time which she has now lost. 25th May 2000 | Posted by: SpiceNews >> Mel C Parties In The Park!

About accusations of being gay and having her personal assistant Chai Ling Yau as a partner Mel said: "If I was gay I'd admit it. People keep asking me when I'm going to come out. But I'm never going to come out because I'm not gay. So stop it! I don't really care what people say about me. But if I was gay I couldn't live lie. I'm too honest a person, I would admit to it. I've had worse things said about me in the paper. It's not even a bad thing, it's just not true. I think it's always been funny before, but it's gone beyond a joke this time. Ying is a professional woman, she just wants to do her job, and she does it well. All this innuendo about us is lies." Mel also explained her recent slight bit of weight gain: "The reason I've put on weight is simply because I've not been training ashard as normal. I've been going out, I've been drinking, I've been eating junk food, I've been enjoying life... and I've put on a bit of weight." Mel also says she is back in the gym working out, back to her normal routine. 3rd May 2000 | Posted by: SpiceNews >> ITTY- Single The Official Melanie C homepage has revealed that Melanie C's next single (UK) will be "I Turn To You", and will be released on July 24th. --End Of News-- |
