Oh dear.
Two weeks ago this columnist penned a frosty farewell to Melanie Brown,
aka Mel B, aka Scary Spice, aka part-time resident of Sydney.
She had taken off to the US of A as fast as her calf-crushing calves
could carry her to plant herself in Sharon Osbourne's vacant seat on America's
Got Talent.
This week comes word that American audiences may not have exactly warmed
to Brit-born Brown, who has joined US TV host Howie Mandel, shock jock Howard
Stern and fellow AGT newbie Heidi Klum for the opening round of
auditions on the show.
In New Orleans this week Brown was reportedly booed and jeered on her
first day on set after she told a popular local brass band she didn't like
their style of music.
"Go home," the audience reportedly shouted - perhaps an AGT
stunt, sure, but still begging the question: where is home for Brown and
her brood these days?
She hasn't lived in the UK for years and sold her LA home late last year
amid talk she might buy property in Sydney, which she did not.
Now there is buzz that X Factor boss Simon Cowell may make a spot
for her on the program in the UK, which would at least give producers of that
program in this country some hope there will be an injection of new talent on
the judging desk locally.
