That's Fit

Pop star Melanie Brown (aka Mel B) may have a fitness DVD in the works. After the Spice Girl appeared on Dancing with the Stars, her body is more toned than ever. She states that she works out three times a week and incorporates a lot of weights into her fitness routine.

"I've devised my own workout that hopefully I'll be sharing with people soon," says Mel B.

After her stint as Scary Spice, Mel B released two solo albums. Her second-place finish on Dancing with the Stars wasn't her last TV run, either. She's reported on Access Hollywood and is scheduled to host a singing competition with Joey Fatone this summer.

Thumbing through a very tabloid-ish magazine the other day, I came across an article promising to reveal the secret behind Mel B's weight loss. Here's the deal: Ex-Spice Girl Mel gave birth a mere few months ago to Eddie Murphy's baby, got married to someone else a short while later and is now competing on Dancing with the Stars looking very fit and in-shape.

So how did she do it? She claims to hate 'dieting', and swears that drinking cold water gave her the body of her dreams, because your body burns calories trying to warm the water up. This sounds a bit hokey if you ask me. Celebrity Diet Doctor recently looked into her so-called diet trick, and he insists that while theoretically, this extra calorie burn does happen when you have your water ice-cold, it would only really lead to a 2 or 3 pound weight loss per year at best.

Still, drinking water is important, so if you want to drink it ice-cold, go for it. However, I will stick to water at a room temperature in the interest of my sensitive teeth.

Emaciated-looking Victoria Beckham is gearing up for the upcoming reunion of the Spice Girls ... by putting her fellow bandmates on a diet. Posh Spice, who is concerned about her image in America and therefore wants the group to look tip-top, is telling the other girls--Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Geri Halliwell--that the key to look as 'good' as she does is doing 200 sit-ups a day and subsisting on a diet of Edamame (soy beans), strawberries and lettuce.

All I can say is ... eww! I have never been a fan of the Spice Girls and I'm even less likely to pay attention to them if they all look like Victoria Beckham. I once heard her described as looking like a 'fly on hind legs' and I have to say, I couldn't agree more.

What's your take on the Spice Girls' diet/reunion?
