New Melanie C Interview
From Love, Peace & Girlpower (Thanks *Spice* and MelCNews.com)
The interview was in this months What Magazine
Melanie Chisholm is truly a one of a kind Superstar.As a Spice Girl she has sold over 50 million albums worldwide, and has nine number one singles under her belt. As a Solo Artist Melanie C is still fast arising onto the Scene. The twenty-seven year old Liverpool native has two number one singles of her own. Melanie C hit number one in the UK with her duet with Left Eye Lisa Lopez on the R&B Track 'Never Be The Same Again', and another number one on the club hit 'I Turn To You', which also hit number one on the US Billboard Club Charts. Not to mention the Hex-Hector remix won a grammy award at the 2001 Grammy Awards this past Febuary. Melanie C is clearly on the road to Solo Super Stardom.
Even though Melanie C is deep into her solo career she hasn't forgot about her Spice Girls Pals, not even Geri Halliwell. "The Spice Girls are still very dear to my heart, we shared so much together. Even though were all doing our Solo Projects we sill see each other an awful lot. Though I haven't seen Geri in ages, were both on seperate sides of the globe." Melanie C says she supports all of the Spice Girls Solo Careers 100%.
"All of the girls are doing fantastic stuff, I was with Victoria in LA a couple weeks ago in the studio, her stuff is coming along brillantly. We all support eachother 100% in our Solo Careers, becuase we all agreed that we would each like to take time apart from the SpiceGirls as a group and do our work." Even though Melanie C is heavily envolved in her solo career she assures fans that she has not left the group, much to the dismay of the British Press. "No, I haven't left the Spice Girls. I will never leave the Spice Girls, we started something together, and we'll finsh it together. The Spice Girls are not over as a group, we still have plently to prove, just we'll do it in our own time."
So what is next for Melanie C? Family life? "I'd love to have a family one day, but right now im concentrating on my music, and I still have to find that man." Melanie C's love life has been well documented in the British Press, being romanitcally linked to Robbie Williams, Spice Girls producer Jake Davies, and Jason 'J' Brown from British Boy Band '5ive'. Though Melanie C claims she still hasn't found 'The One' yet, but she is looking. "No, I'm still single. I get into relationships, and they are so hard to keep, especially with people in the industry because the schedules are so tight, its really hard to see eachother."
Melanie C is the ultimate package, she's fit, beautiful, talented, and has a outgoing personality that is shown with her fans.

Greatest Hits Album In May 2002 ?
Thanks Sam Bennett
!!! Rumour !!!
Reports from a July 30 article from People Magazine has it that the Spice Girls master producer, Bernie Grundman, has said that the Spice Girls are to jam the recording studios this November.
The producer, who produced all three of the Spice Girls albums said that they are to re-record all their singles including
"Wannabe", "Spice Up Your Life" and "Viva Forever". The long- time Spice producer claimed that the recording will only take a few days, so it won't interfere with their solo work.
Grudman claimed that the girls have decided to re-record their singles because they plan to create a Greatest Hits album,
which is expected by May of 2002. Though some may think that Scary, Posh, Sporty and Baby are through with the once Super-Pop Group, the Spice Girls, they will be proven wrong with this new album simply because all of the vocals that
made ex-Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell (a.k.a Ginger Spice) so famous will be replaced by one of the other girls' killer voices.
Also, according to Victoria Beckham (a.k.a Posh Spice), the girls tend to record a fourth album, sometime after Valentine's Day of 2002 and tour the following summer.
