Mel B Is Getting Advice From Ex Eddie Murphy Following Stephen Belafonte Marriage Breakdown
Well, who better to get advice from than Dr. Doolittle himself?
By Stephanie Soteriou | omg – 8 hours ago
Mel B is reportedly seeking advice from her most random ex-boyfriend, actor Eddie Murphy, amid rumours that she is divorcing estranged husband, Stephen Belafonte.
The X Factor judge has apparently been making a series of transatlantic phone calls to good ol' Ed, and he has been telling Mel to keep it classy, and basically stay cool.
Sound advice from Dr. Doolittle there.
A source blabbed to The Daily Star: "Eddie has told her to keep a lid on her feelings publically. Stephen is the one doing all the talking and all the begging for her to go back to him.Who says that you can't be friends with your exes? Copyright: [Getty]
"But Eddie has told her to keep quiet, stay classy, and only talk when she has something to say."
It's good to see that Eddie has proven himself to be a pal for the 39-year-old, especially considering the mass humiliation he caused her seven years ago when he very publically demanded that Mel's daughter, Angel, took a paternity test to prove that he was her father.
You didn't follow your own advice there, did ya Eddie? #NotCool
On a slightly less hypocritical note, Mel can also depend on new friend Simon Cowell if she ever needs a shoulder to cry on.Mel had seven-year-old daughter Angel with Eddie. Copyright: [Instagram]
The 55-year-old music mogul has reportedly vowed to be there for the former Spice Girl, with an insider revealing: "He called as soon as he realised she was in trouble.
"Simon has grown close to Mel and wants to do everything he can to help her get through this.
"He doesn't just see himself as a boss - he likes to think his TV judges consider him a friend."
N'aww, ain't that lovely?
However, considering Si is currently on a romantic holiday in Barbados with his boo, Lauren Silverman, Mel has to rake up the air miles if she wants a man-boobed fuelled hug from the former Mr. Nasty.Mel can depend on her new X Factor pals. Copyright: [ITV]
Still, the source added that Simon is just a phone call away, explaining: "He is enjoying the break after a hectic series of X Factor. Being with his family at Christmas and relaxing in the sun is the perfect downtime for Simon.

"But he's made it clear to Mel she is more than welcome to get in touch if she needs his help. He meant it when he said he'd be there for her - whenever she needed it."Sounds like Mel has got herself a friend for life with that one.
The mum-of-three is yet to comment on her marriage breakdown, which all kicked off after she missed Saturday's live final of The X Factor two weeks ago, however, sources say that she is looking into a quickie divorce and wants nothing more to do with hubby Stephen.Mel and Stephen's marriage is said to be on 'life support'.

Whatever is going on, we just hope that Mel is okay - But with friends like Eddie and Simon to lean on, at least the singer isn't going it alone.

Update is that I think she's now back with Belafonte = too expensive to divorce.
Hell, seems like it costs her about as much to stay with him.

Last month Mel B was hospitalised in London while rumours ran rampant about the state of her health.
And although the 39-year-old former Spice Girl went on to make a full recovery, it has been reported that her husband Stephen Belafonte has now been rushed to hospital in Los Angeles with his wife by his side.
According to TMZ, 'Stephen showed up at the Cedars-Sinai ER Tuesday AM ... complaining of back pain and saying he doesn't know how he hurt it ... but it's gotten bad enough that he needs medical help.'

Mel was reportedly with him and has stayed by his side.
MailOnline has contacted Mel's spokesperson for comment.
This news comes just hours after Mel spoke about her marriage with the 39-year-old film producer during a segment of The View, which was prerecorded.
Even though she admitted that the couple don't have much in common, Mel stressed that she likes Stephen, who has angrily denied accusations he had physically assaulted her.

Rosie O'Donnell got the marital subject rolling by asking everyone at the table, 'Do you have a lot in common with your spouses?'
That's when Mel threw up her hands and shouted, 'No! But I like him a lot.'

Speculation about marriage trouble started when Mel appeared on The X Factor UK on December 14 with what appeared to be scratches and bruises to her arms and face.
Mel's wedding ring was also missing from her hand when she appeared on the ITV show.
It was alleged that the America's Got Talent judge had left Stephen before she was rushed to hospital - which caused her to miss the first live show on December 13, during The X Factor final weekend.

'You can only re-mix ten things, ten ways, so many times,' he told MailOnline. 'Who accused me of it, did she accuse me of it, the police, the hospital, who accused me of it.'
Since then, Mel has taken to social media to share pictures of her happy family as evidence that everything is cool and no one needs to worry.
Shortly after Mel taped this interview on The View, she and Stephen were spotted leaving their New York City hotel holding hands.
While Mel looked stylish in a charcoal-grey sweater dress with side split, black boots and black scarf, Stephen was casual chic in grey track trousers, high top trainers and a black hoodie.

'Life was too short to keep it going': Former Spice Girl Mel B 'reaches out to estranged family and invites them to her LA home after nine-year feud'
By MailOnline Reporter

She famously cut her mother, father and sister out of her life in 2008 after they disapproved of her husband Stephen Belafonte.
However it has now been reported that Mel B has resolved the nine-year feud with her mother Andrea, dad Martin and sister Danielle - and has invited them to spend time at her family home in Los Angeles next month.
According to The Sun, the former Spice Girl, 41, decided to reach out to her relatives as she realised that 'life was too short' to maintain their argument - and that the group are now on good terms once again.
Back on track: Mel B has reportedly resolved the nine-year feud with her mother Andrea, dad Martin and sister Danielle - and has invited them to spend time at her LA home next month
Back in 2008, Andrea was cut off from the Broadway star and her daughters - who live in Los Angeles - due to her disapproval of Mel's then-new husband Stephen Belafonte.
However the paper now reports that the family have finally resolved their issues after almost ten years of disagreement, leaving all four of them and Mel's children 'thrilled'.
An inside source said: 'Mel is finally back in touch with her family and everyone is thrilled.
Reunion: Mel, who famously cut her mother Andrea (above) out of her life in 2008, is said to be 'thrilled' by the reunion, after realising that 'life was too short' to maintain the argument
'It took for Mel to realise that life was too short to keep this going. She's really pleased she took the step of finally reaching out to them.'
Not wasting any time to get things back on track, the insider continued that Andrea has even spent working days with her daughter, and are set to reunite at Mel's LA home with Stephen this coming year.
They added: 'Mel even had her mum on the set of Lip Sync Battle recently and for Phoenix's 18th birthday party in Los Angeles next month the family are invited over and are absolutely thrilled.'

Prior to the argument they had been close enough to never go for more than four days without speaking on the phone, but Andrea revealed in a past interview that if she ever called the family, the phone number would have changed.
She made no secret of her feelings about Belafonte at the time of the argument, who became Mel's husband in 2007 after a secret Las Vegas wedding.
It was their vow renewal ceremony in Egypt that led to the family feud reaching its peak, where Mel also fell out with her sister Danielle, and her father Martin.

It was rumoured that her husband banned Mel's relatives from getting in contact at this event.
This resulted in the family never meeting her youngest daughter Madison, born in 2011 - a far cry from when Andrea has been allowed to cut the umbilical cord at the birth of Mel's second child Angel, in 2006.
Andrea even revealed in an interview with The Sun that she only learned of the pregnancy and birth via the internet.
'I only found out she was pregnant because of Twitter and I found out on Twitter that she'd had the baby too,' she said.

She had continued on how devastating the rift had been for her family: 'Half of my family is missing to me. Every day I pine for Mel, Phoenix and Angel.'
At the end of 2014, when Mel was hospitalised on the final weekend of The X Factor, Andrea went on a Twitter rant accusing film producer Belafonte of being physically violent towards the singer.
She fiercely wrote on the social media site: 'Little good news 4 me lost half a stone in 1 week+ will never suffer a vile abusive 3am call from stephan Belafonti again!!' [sic]
Stephen has since issued forthright denials to any suggestion he has hit his wife - Mel vehemently denies the allegations too, and the couple have been putting on a united front ever since.
