Melanie Brown has been boasting about her new-found psychic powers to Now Magazine (or 'Naaar' as she probably calls them), remarking that she knew fellow Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm was pregnant before she broke the news. Recently Mel Confessed that she rarely speaks to her old band mates (and why should she now the money from the reunion tour has been banked?), but when she received a text from Sporty Spice asking her to ring, Mel knew something was afoot.

Despite the fact that it always appeared that Mel C was less likely to reproduce than a panda with a headache, Scary Spice called it correctly, and appears somewhat delighted with herself in the process.

 

"I rang her back, but before she could say anything, I went: 'You're pregnant!',"

 

Brilliant work. If only Mel B's fantastic gift had kicked in a few years ago. It might have saved her from some unsettling times with Jimmy Gulzar and Eddie Murphy. Maybe she'll be able to predict how her next solo single will perform? I'm seeing a number in the high seventies…
