THE MINI-ROUND UP: RUMORS FOLLOW MEL B’S HUSBAND | AMY WINEHOUSE GOES TO REHAB
Tuesday, August 14, 2007

Word is Mel B’s husband is a straight up fraud. Entertainment columnist Janet Charlton has the scoop for you.
According to Charlton, the couple’s marriage certificate contains the name Stephen Belafonte, but his real last name is reportedly Stansbury. In the past he has tried to pass himself off as Dionne Warwick’s nephew and Harry Belafonte’s son, Charlton writes.
He has criminal records in New Jersey, San Diego and Los Angeles, according to the column. The L.A. infractions include assault with a deadly weapon in Beverly Hills and vandalism and assault on a roommate in Hollywood.
Charlton also suggests that there is more than one assault and battery charge against Belafonte than the one involving Nicole Contreras, the mother of his 3-year-old daughter, Giselle. [ READ MORE ]
Very suspicious. Don’t know what’s up with that but Mel B’s name is sure in the press a lot lately. I know she happy.
AMY WINEHOUSE CHECKS INTO REHAB; ADMITS DRUG ABUSE

They tried to make me go to Rehab… Looks like Amy is really going to be hitting up rehab. Word is she didn’t pass out from exhaustion last week, it was a drug overdose. Now she is admitting that she has a problem and checking into rehab. Read on:
Amy Winehouse and husband Blake Fielder-Civil agreed to go into drugs rehab after seeing their dads nearly come to blows, friends said last night.
Amy was in tears after the row during a showdown with their families over their heroin and cocaine addiction. A source close to the family told the Mirror: “It broke Amy’s heart to see her parents and in-laws fighting. “That was the point when she realised all the drink and drugs were causing huge problems for everybody.”
The party-loving couple flew to the US for intensive counseling and detox treatment.. [ READ MORE ]

Mel…why oh why can’t you leave men alone for a minute sweetie? Obviously, this is a sign and I pray to Sweet Jesus that this marriage is a hoax or a publicity stunt b.cuz you don’t want everyone to think Eddie got the best of u…the only one that can hold you down is yourself Mel. Get it together lil mama.
I’m glad Amy finally admitted she has a problem…I hope she really turns things around for herself.

ONCE AGAIN, I DON’T AND NEVER DID FEEL SORRY FOR HER PARADING THAT BABY AROUND LIKE SHE IS A “TINKERBELL THE DOG”.
I WASN’T ONE OF THOSE ONES THAT SAID “GOOD FOR HER” “I’M HAPPY FOR HER” B/C THE WHOLE UNION WAS SOME BULLSHIT. EVERYTHING SHE’S BEEN DOING FOR A YEAR AND A HALF HAS BEEN MEDIA DRIVEN AND ONE PUBLICITY STUNT AFTER ANOTHER…. IF STEPHEN STARTS BEATING UP ON HER, THEN SHE HAD AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO CHECK THIS GUY OUT TO MAKE SURE HE WAS HUSBAND MATERIAL. DUMB BITCH!

Unfortunately, Mel B has poor taste in men. If these rumors are true, it’s even more important that Eddie participates in his daughter’s lfe. Who cares about Amy Crackhouse?

Everything about that big-headed gruesome guy screams con-artist.
Melanie is just a female fool with a bad choice of male acquaintances and horrible judge of character. I feel for those kids–momma’s a dummy.
She’s no better than Britney, IMO.

I’m so glad she’s going to rehab, I hope it works for her, most of these celebs go in and out of rehab center’s like regular folks go to malls. As far as Mel B, she better watch who she puts around her kids…I’m surprised about her marriage, so people will do ANYTHING to extend their 15 minutes of fame and hers was up years ago, when the whole Spice Girl phenomenon stopped.

if this is not a good enough reason for women to not jump into a marriage. she did not even know him that well, just like the situation with Eddie. what is wrong with dating for a couple of years before rushing into something serious.

Lol @ #10… “Amy Wino”
Like we all didn’t know that her and her hubby were on drugs. A marriage made in crackheaven. They look like two crack sticks walking. Maybe Bobby and Whit should follow their lead.
I hope Mel B. was not in the dark about his crooked ass. If so, shame on her, but I’m sure she already knew, they claim to have been friends for years. These dumbass celeb’s, always rushing into things. Damnit, Ima have to do a background check on my future hubby!

Its 2007, did he really expect to pass that stupid ass shit off? I would of claimed to be Russell Simmons cousin or Jay-z’s godbrother, but no this damn fool is sayin that he’s Dionne’s nephew.

If this is all factual, do ya’ll really think Mel didn’t know about this man’s checkered past before she let him hit it? Puh-leeze. She was the one swearing they been peeps for seven years so what does that say about her judgement? I said it before and I’ll say it again, birds of a feather…
While you in rehab Amy, go on ahead and let them stick an IV of BBQ chicken, buscuits and gravy and some pork rinds in ya.

I’m not surprised that Amy is going to rehab for real…she looks like she is on drugs or something. I feel sorry for Mel B. She just can’t catch a break! She needs to slow down asap. She jumped right into a relationship right after she had the baby, which makes me wonder if she had been messing around with Stephan all along! I feel soooo sorry for her, and the kids because they will see and feel her pain.

That’s my girl! You get your Rehab on and make a bangin album when you get out. Your husband’s creepy but most people don’t know you used to be curvy back in your “Frank” days and think you’ve been this way forever. You looked better with your curves so I’m hoping they feed you in Rehab.

Poor Mel B I was so happy that after Eddie dogged her and lied on she found someone, but it looks like he is worst a criminal a fraud. Amy Whinehouse yes please go to rehab the skeleton look does not look good. Looks like your husband is a crackhead, that explains it why you are together. Most men like a woman with a shape, you have no body no shape. I guess it’s true what they say only a dog wants a bone, you are that as skinny as a bone. I guess cause he is a crackhead it don’t matter to him wheter you have a shape or not. Honey you look a hot mess.

People do not be fooled by miss Mel B- she is a disaster area.
Over in the UK, they are so fed up of her, she had to come to America.
The spice girls made a s!!! load of money- every publicists dream they were, given that the spice girls cannot hold a note between them- save for sporty spice.
She’s dated so many British celebs- and they all have the same thing to say about her she is a ‘tart’
Mel B needed to have Eddie Murphy’s baby, maybe she thought she had landed herself a Beckham gig like posh.
This marriage is nothing but a way of her trying to make herself respectable- married or not peeps in the UK know what she’s about.
Ask yourself- what does this woman actually do???

I love Amy Winehouse’s music and I am so glad she’s getting the help that she needs! If you have ever seen pictures of her before the drugs… she looked so nice & healthy (thick, even), those drugs definitely took a toll on her body. Hope she goes to rehab and sticks with it. And glad the husband is going, too - if two people are together and one stays on drugs you can be sure that the other will eventually start doing drugs again if they remain with that person.
No offense against Mel B. but I don’t really care. Her personal life has been kind of out there lately so this thing with her new husband comes as no big surprise.

Bellafonte: Mel, I thought you said Eddie would pay to keep his name from being slandered in the media
Mel B: Boy, I told you already, these things take time. I got a lawyer in my corner, who is very good at nuttcracking men for money
Bellafonte: Well, you all need to hurry, I got some alimony I need to pay off from my previous marriage, not to mentioned I owe some bookie some money
Mel B: Don’t pressure me son… after I am done slashing Eddie’s name in the media, he will have to pay up, and buy me a 9 million dollar home just to get me to shut up. Just sit you big head somewhere and let me handle this. I know how stupid most American women are. I will get them in my favor and Eddie will no longer be able to deal with the bad press he will be getting from women in America. Next year by this time, we will be leaving in a 9 million dollar home in California.
Bellafonte: How much am I getting?
Mel B: If you don’t shut up, you aint getting shit!
I don’t know what’s worst: women that uses babies as cash cows or whores perpetrating as wannabe wives…lol…stay tuned…I guarantee you, a lot of shit will be revealed.

MEL B is being EXPOSED! At this point, I have no sympathy for her. A real woman would have gotten the paternity test done, proved Eddie wrong, and gone and sat her ass down somewhere. But this heffa is the EPITOMY of a publicity whore. When you look up “publicity whore” in the dictionary, it’s a picture of Mel B and Britney rollin’ their babies up on the paparazzi with no panties on.
I honestly believe this woman SET EDDIE UP with this pregnancy thing to get PAID, but now this man is about to show her what a real con job is. Too bad for her and her beautiful, innocent daughters. Hopefully, Eddie will step up and protect his new daughter, Angel, from the shit that’s about to go down with Mel B. and her new K-Fraud. At least it looks like her oldest daughter’s father is also involved to help protect her from this dude.
This story is going to get worse before it gets better.

I love Amy Winehouse, she is a true artist… I don’t care about Mel B…or Beyonce, or Pretty Ricky, or Ciara, or…. well, whatever… I think it’s cool that Amy Winehouse is discussed here, her music is in the vein of classic black music…I think she has more right to be here than the rest of these “artists” we discuss weekly.
@The Hell?
When was the Amy and Nas thing??
Amy admitted, rumor has it, that she has/had an eating disorder… She looks disgusting, now, though but even when she is off the drugs, I doubt she’ll allow her weight to stabilize… She’s probably going to look just like that…

I’ve been saying that nasty Amy Whinehouse looks like a meth-addict. Her look is not eccentric it’s called straight up crack head.
All Hip Hop reported:
According to the Mirror…When [Amy Whinehouse] went to the hospital last week, they say she was on a cocktail of heroin, ecstasy, cocaine, the horse tranquillizer ketamine and liquor.
I knew she didn’t go to no hospital for no damn “exhaustion” I guess that’s what they’re calling overdoses these daysl.

LOL @ AMY’s music even being considered “the vein of classic black music.” I guess black people only appreciate black music when white people do it. And before you take it further, I will not discuss a black vs. white artists posting. Keep that among yourselves.
