Mel B to renew wedding vows

Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown is to renew her wedding vows - reportedly earning $400,000 (€270,748) for her trouble.

The singer is said to have signed a lucrative deal with OK! magazine to cover the event, slated to take place at a high-class resort in Egypt.

Brown wed film producer Stephen Belafonte 15 months ago in a low-key ceremony in Las Vegas.

Now the couple is planning to celebrate their nuptials by throwing an expensive party packed with celebrity friends.

A source tells British newspaper The Daily Mirror: "Mel and Stephen wanted a lavish do to celebrate their relationship. They agreed to allow the event to be covered by a magazine but are obliged to fulfil certain requirements. One of these is a certain quota of well-known faces - family and close friends simply won't do."
