Mel B., aka, Scary Spice is going to marry film producer Stephen Belafonte (that may or may not be Mel's daughter, Phoenix, with them- thanks to reader Katie). Apparently they've been dating for two months, but have been friends for 7. Scary credits Stephen for "being there" for her during the Eddie Murphy mess, adding that Murphy has not contacted her once since the baby, his baby, was born.
I gotta hand it to Stephen, he put in his time, hanging out in the "friend zone" for seven long years, just waiting to play the sympathy card and slide his way in. That's the classic romantic-comedy move. Everyone knows that men and women can't be friends (according to When Harry Met Sally), so this had to happen sooner or later.
Cue the Van Morrison.
