Fast mover Mel B househunts with new man

Mel B is one fast mover. Just weeks after hooking up with a new man, Hollywood producer Stephen Belafonte, she's been spotted househunting with him in LA.

The former Spice Girl tried her best to avoid photographers as she spent a few hours looking at homes in the Beverly Hills area - down the road from former bandmate Victoria Beckham.

Mel, aka Scary Spice, looked fab in a full-length floral dress and big shades, while her new man Stephen cradled her eight-week-old daughter Angel Iris in his arms.

The singer, 32 today, is set to earn over £1million from a Spice Girls reunion tour later this year and sources say this money will go towards building a new life in LA - and it looks like Stephen is well and truly part of her plans.

Mel is currently embroiled in a bitter paternity battle with Eddie Murphy over Angel Iris. The Beverly Hills Cop star is denying the baby is his but refuses to take a paternity test to prove it.

Mel is determined to prove he is the father and is willing to take him to court to show the world.

Eddie has yet to even set eyes on the tiny tot. But none of this seems to have deterred Stephen - who produced the cult movie Thank You For Smoking - as he was all smiles with his new lady love.

Just two weeks ago, Mel was gushing about her new man, saying: "I'm very happy. Stephen is great fun and he satisfies me. The less said about the Beverly Hills C**k the better."

The couple have been hitting all of the top LA clubs in the past few weeks - making sure everyone knows they're the new hot couple in town.

A source said: "Mel and Stephen are getting to know each other very quickly, they clicked immediately and Mel thinks they have a strong connection.

"She's still upset and angry over the Eddie situation but she's not going to let that stop her getting on with her life.

"Mel believes when you meet someone special you should grab onto it with both hands and do everything you can to make it work and that's what she's doing now with Stephen.

"He's also being very supportive through the paternity battle."

Melanie was spotted with producer Stephen Belafonte in a Los Angeles park over the weekend and they were spotted at Hyde together on Monday night too.

An onlooker at the nightclub told the Sun: “Mel and Stephen looked good together. They were all over each other.”

“She looks fantastic, it’s hard to believe she has just had a baby.”

The newspaper also reports that Mel told a friend she is already quite serious about her new man: “I love Stephen - he’s been looking after me. I’m very happy, Stephen’s great fun and he satisfies me.”

She's moving fast but I'm glad she's getting on with her life. The "he satisfies me" quote sounds immature, completely unneccessary & TMI all rolled up.
