    Mel B "can't wait" to marry Rory McPhee

    The 49-year-old pop star has been engaged to hairdresser Rory, 36, since 2022 and took to social media on Valentine's Day (14.02.25), where she admitted on the romantic holiday that he has made her the "happiest" she has ever been


    She wrote on Instagram: "Happy Valentines my luv I cant wait to marry you [heart emoji] you make me the happiest."

    The Spice Girls star - who has daughters Phoenix, 25, with first husband Jimmy Gulzar, Angel, 76, with Eddie Murphy, and Madison, 12, with Stephen Belafonte - previously revealed that she and Rory has the chance t tie the knot at St Paul's Cathedral in London after she received an MBE for her services to charity.

    She told The Sun newspaper: "As I have an MBE I am allowed to marry at St Paul's. They only do a small number of weddings a year so we are on the waiting list."

    Mel shot to fame alongside Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton and Melanie C as part of the world's best-selling girl group in the late 1990s, and she confirmed that they have all been invited to the wedding but insisted they won't be bridesmaids.

    She quipped: "They won't be bridesmaids though, we are all too old."

    She also admitted that getting married in such a religious place made her really question her reasons for wanting to walk down the aisle again.

    Speaking on UK TV show 'This Morning', she explained: "Well, it is a process that you've got to go through. I've been married and divorced twice before and I appreciate that, because they ask you why you're getting married again under God's name...I had to think to myself 'Why do I?' It's because I've found someone who respects me, he is kind, really, really hot. And I never knew that existed!"

    Margaret Cho relies on her dog to "comfort" her before a show.

    The 56-year-old comedienne admitted that she "doesn't have much" when it comes to backstage demands on her rider and she prefers to see what other performers have instead but does need to have her pet pooch Lucia in her dressing room.

    She told UsWeekly: "I don't have much on my rider, [but] I do love going backstage to see what other artists have. I'm, like, a scavenger. If an artist [has gone], their spread is up for grabs. When I go to a Rufus Wainwright show, I steal his Nutella because he has it on his rider and never eats it.

    "My service dog, Lucia, is always with me. She's a huge comfort and a favourite on the red carpet."

    The former 'All-American Girl star added that her canine companion is "popular" with other people and she takes her everywhere.

    She said: "She loves to meet everyone when we go out and she's popular everywhere we go, travels the world with me."

    However, Margaret revealed that she recently performed in Sweden and her efforts to make the audience laugh were met with total silence.

    She said: "At the end, they gave me a standing ovation and sang their national anthem, then presented me with a wooden knife. That was their form of appreciation.

    When she has finished her show, Margart is happy to go home and spend time with the rest of her animals, and said that she has "partied enough", especially after finding sobriety.

    She said: "I go home to rest!I make sure my dog and cats get fed, [are] played with and groomed. I'm 56 and sober, so I partied enough."
