Spice of lovelife with Murphy

Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown has found love with funnyman Eddie Murphy.

Friends say: "They've been lying low and trying to keep it quiet, but they are definitely an item."

Meanwhile, former band mate Melanie C has turned Green Spice to support recycling.

The singer lives in a quiet town in Monmouthshire, England, where the organisers of the community's recycling's Black Box scheme describe her as the county's "most famous resident and recycler".
