It was inevitable. While Melanie Brown (Scary Spice) has been off in Europe making lots of money with her Ultimo lingerie line and other projects, her con artist husband Stephen “Belafonte” has been getting restless. Stephen and a buddy were at The Rainbow on Sunset on a recent Saturday. First Stephen asked the bartender if he got a ” celebrity discount” because he was married to Mel B, but was turned down, so he had to pay full price for his steak, lobster, appetizers, and wine. Then Stephen turned his attention to the pretty women all around him. He told one “Hey, can I get your number? I’d love to call you and hook up sometime!” One suspicious girl asked “Aren’t you married to a Spice Girl?” and he brushed it off with “It’s okay!” He invited one busty blonde out for coffee the next day. One after another he punched numbers into his FRIEND’S phone. He laughed “I can’t put it in MY phone!” He explained to one girl that his pal would act as a go-between so he could communicate with her. By the time he walked out of the club, the fake Belafonte had five or six numbers clocked into his buddy’s phone. In the parking lot he was seen talking to one MORE girl and punching her number into his friend’s phone. Keep your eyes open, Mel!

MELANIE BROWN: GETTING AWAY FROM IT ALL?

Obviously, Melanie Brown wants to get AWAY from all those nasty stories surfacing about her newlywed husband Stephen Belafonte AKA Stansbury. (Since he used a fake name on the marriage license – does that mean the union wasn’t valid?) She and Stephen were seen at LAX today waiting for a US Airways flight to somewhere. According to a witness she looked pretty in a brown dress, had “loads of luggage,” her little girl carried a puppy, and Mel fussed over her baby. A nanny and assistant rounded out the group. Her husband was on the phone ALL the time said the witness and he and Melanie barely spoke to each other. Could she be coming to her senses? We doubt it.

MELANIE BROWN: WAKE UP! YOU MARRIED A CON MAN!

What does Melanie Brown REALLY know about her new husband who calls himself Stephen Belafonte? If, indeed, his real name is Stephen Stansbury, the dirt just keeps piling up. Does she know about his criminal record in New Jersey, San Diego, and LA? In Beverly Hills it was assault with a deadly weapon, in Hollywood it was vandalism and assault on a roommate. Does she know how many EX-WIVES and GIRLFRIENDS have charged him with assault and battery? He’s lived in four apartments in LA and the con artist was EVICTED from each one for not paying rent. He was 86’d from Skybar for some sort of credit card “problem.” He served time in jail for trying to alter his computer police records. In 1997, he was married for three months until his wife charged him with battery. In the past he has tried to pass himself off as Dionne Warwick’s nephew and Harry Belafonte’s son. Need we say more?

MELANIE BROWN AND HER NEW HUSBAND WHAT'S -HIS -NAME

No WONDER Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown has been avoiding her friends and family lately. She didn’t want to listen to them warning her about her suspicious boyfriend – because she was ALREADY MARRIED TO HIM! They were secretly wed June 6 in Las Vegas and she kept it a secret because she knew her friends and family didn’t approve. Apparently this Stephen guy has her mesmerized – his real last name seems to be Stansbury, not Belafonte. We’ve been inundated with info about him. People who claim to have gone to school with him say the high school dropout is a scam artist, an animal killer, a liar and a psycho who makes friends with wealthy people and robs them. There are claims that he has a prison record, outstanding warrants, even a story about him dating and moving in with a wealthy 60 year old Beverly Hills woman and picking up girls in her luxury car and bringing them home at night. Some claim he “services” men to enhance his career. He’s even been described as a “white power skinhead.” We can safely assume he was NOT popular in high school. We don’t know if ANY of these claims are true, but where there’s smoke there’s usually fire. And Scary Spice is in the middle of it.

MELANIE BROWN: WHO'S PICKING UP THE CHECKS?

Melanie Brown and her puzzling boyfriend who calls himself Stephen Belafonte are frolicking in Miami as if they don’t have a care in the world. Meanwhile her friends are worried – since Stephen came along she’s not socializing with them any more. And she’s not returning calls. Even her mother hasn’t heard from her. Is it because Mel’s friends are suspicious of her new guy? They’re just not buying his stories. Who is he, really? And who’s paying for this vacation?

MELANIE BROWN'S FRIENDS ARE WARY OF STEPHEN BELAFONTE

Her friends are worried about her new relationship with this guy who calls himself Stephen Belafonte. One friend who really cares about Mel confided, “Some of us get the feeling he’s a phoney and we don’t trust him. We don’t even think that’s his real last name. If you try to check him out – he has no history before 2004. He used to hang out in clubs and never had any money. We’re afraid he’s WAY too interested in that Spice money!” Her friends don’t want to upset Melanie, but they’re keeping an eye on the guy.
