The ever versatile Mel B. — Melanie Brown, Scary Spice of the Spice Girls — is writing a new TV series for children’s cable channel Nickelodeon, scheduled to go into production later this year.
The singer claims the show has a style similar to teen star Miley Cyrus’ programme Hannah Montana – which has been a major global success – but insists it will appeal more to young, black kids.
She says, “I’ve written my own sitcom that’s just been picked up by Nickelodeon that I start at Christmas.
“I’m the star of it. It’s a bit like Hannah Montana, but the black version.”

Mel. B. has several projects in the works.
“I’ve just been offered Legally Blonde on Broadway,” Mel B told PEOPLE Tuesday night at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in London, where the Spice Girls won Band of the Year.
“I’m going to go out to see about it next week,” she said. And husband Stephen Belafonte, 33, showed his support by adding “She’s done Rent before, she would be great!”
Brown, 33, added: “Then I have our sitcom we’re working on and my Project Runway show. I’m launching my clothes line through that, hopefully this year.”
