Mel B Goes Blonde
Celebrity Gossip October 27th, 2009Looking all glammed up, Melanie Brown was spotted leaving the Mayfair hotel wearing a blonde wig paired with a sexy sequence silver mini dress on Tuesday evening (October 27).
The Spice Girl happened to be out for a photocall for the launch of Glaceau Vitamin Water.
Meanwhile, Mel B has also been busy helping to stop poverty. The former singer went to her hometown of Leeds, England, where she moved in with an unemployed single mother and her five kids for the documentary of, “Seven Days on The Breadline.”
Mel was shocked about the home, but encouraged the family to do more chores and make the most of the weekly financial aid they receive.
“I hadn’t been told anything about the family I would be looking after or the state of the house I would be living in. It was only when I arrived that I realized it had damp rising up the walls, was infested by mice, and was, frankly, horribly unkempt,” she said.
“The house was home to unemployed Elaine Henry and my task involved looking after her five children - aged six, eight, 12, 16 and 18 - all on a budget of ?264 in benefits,” she added.
Brown realized the family was not “lazy” but was just depressed by all that had happened and thinks the government could do something about it by creating a community outlet.
“I hope the show will make people think twice about people on benefits, rather than calling them lazy moneygrabbers… On the whole I think the majority could be encouraged to do a bit more if the government would step in,” she said.
“If you do not give people a way out, educate them, provide them with somewhere to live, and a community centre for them to visit and be stimulated, then how can you expect them to have the urge to get up and do anything with their lives?” she added.
