Spice Girl Mel C Wants to Be Adored -- by a Man
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20000831/re/britain_spice_dc_1.html
LONDON (Reuters) - Mel C, one of the four Spice Girls, has revealed
she longs for an intimate relationship but not with a woman, denying
rumors that she is a lesbian.
In an interview with the British tabloid The Mirror on Thursday,
Melanie, once known as Sporty Spice, said at first she was amused by
the rumors that she was gay, but no longer.
``I used to think it was funny, but I've got a lot of fans who are
lesbians and sometimes I get them coming up to me and saying: When
are you going to come out?''
``I started feeling guilty because I wasn't gay. I was thinking
maybe I should be a lesbian. Sometimes I wish I was because men are
so crap. Do you know what I mean?''
Melanie told the newspaper that the rapid rise to fame and fortune
with the Spice Girls had taken its toll and she had to fight eating
disorder, paralyzing self-doubts and depression.
``It's taken me a long, long time to get my head around what has
happened and get on with my life,'' she said.
Melanie, who split from her most recent boyfriend J from the boy
band Five in July, said the glamorous life style of a pop star
doesn't make up for being without a partner.
``It gets lonely. I think the hardest thing to deal with is being on
stage in front of tens of thousands of people and you're giving it
all and then you go back to your hotel room and you feel so lonely.
``Everyone thinks I've got this fantastic life but if you haven't
got a partner, then you're lonely. That's what everyone wants at the
end of the day -- someone to call, someone to talk to. Instead, you
sit there waiting for the buzz to go so you can fall asleep.
``My life as it is at the moment is almost faultless, but I would
like a relationship. It's not going to solve all my problems, but it
would be nice -- someone to come home to, to watch telly with. I
suppose I just want someone to adore me,'' she said.
The rumors that she was gay started after the publication of a
photograph that included Melanie's ``close friend'' Ying -- in fact
the assistant to all the Spice Girls.
But while Melanie can accept such rumors as part of the price she
has to pay for her fame and fortune, she is angry because the
stories have hurt Ying.
``She doesn't want to be famous. I get paid enough money to put up
with it. It's part of my job, she doesn't. It's not fair on her and
her family.
