Pics: Ashanti, Mel B. and more

Black celebrities were out and about over the past couple of days. Here are photos from some of the most recent events. More will be posted later in the day…

Spice Girl Mel B. a.k.a Melanie Brown brought her hubby Stephen Belafonte along to attend Glamour Magazine’s 2008 Woman of the Year Awards held in London, England. The Spice Girls were among the winners at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards.

While she was across the pond she also attended a promotional event for “Ultimo” Lingerie for which she is a celebrity spokesmodel

I would have loved to been a fly on the wall for whatever was being said when she was snapped in this photo. Intense.
