| • | "Mel B has turned to top hypnotist Paul McKenna to help her quit smoking. Pals tell me the Spice Girl is desperate to quit her 20-a-day habit for the sake of year-old daughter Phoenix Chi and her own singing voice. Scary has booked a one-on-one session with Paul after buying his Stop Smoking For Good hypnotism tapes. Friends of Mel say she has been smoking more since she split from husband Jimmy Gulzar three months ago. Her new boyfriend, Max Beesley, is a buddhist and doesn't smoke. A pal of Mel B's tells me: 'She's sick of her clothes smelling of ciggies and doesn't like Phoenix being around smoke. She has called on Paul because he is the country's top hypnotist. Mel's been trying to give up for a while but with all the strain of her marriage break-up, she's found it hard and when she's drinking it's impossible to resist. Hopefully Paul will change that because it's not good for her voice.' Mel's Spice pals Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham both enjoy the occasional ciggie but superfit Melanie C is a non-smoker.", The Sun, Mar. 25, '00 |
