Melanie 'Scary Spice' Brown: To Pose Nude For Playboy

Posted Sep 29th 2008 1:28PM by Brennan Williams

By Brennan Williams, BlackVoices.com


There's nothing scary to the idea of Spice Girl member Mel B posing nude for an adult magazine.

Last month the singer turned television personality (born Melanie Janine Brown), revealed to various media outlets that she had turned down two offers to appear in 'Playboy' magazine over the past year, despite leaving the opportunity open for a later date.

"I was offered Playboy last year and again a couple of months ago, and I did turn them down, but that's not to say I wouldn't consider it in the future," she said. "I have no problems walking around the house naked or anything."

Well it appears Hugh Hefner has stepped his game up for the voluptuous star.

According to London's 'Mirror' newspaper, last week the two parties came to an agreement for six figures that will lead Brown to appear nude in a forthcoming issue.

Earlier this year the 33-year-old 'Dancing With The Stars' judge landed an endorsement deal with Ultimo Underwear, replacing previous model Sarah Harding.

In addition, Mel B is currently planning to release a fitness DVD next year demonstrating her methods on getting back into shape after giving birth.

1. ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz... wake me up when it's all over.

Although I'm surprised that after 50 or so years, Playboy is still such a "prestige" draw for celebrity women wanting to take their clothes off for money. Must be that old Hugh Hefner aura that they just can't say no to... although, I'm sure the money helps too.

12. Just another sleezy Hollywood flash in the pants who is selling out to the devil Hefner! He is one of the uglist men in the world, inside and out who uses people and steals their souls for money, he's a pig.
When you support Playboy and any of their advertisers you are just as bad as she is.
