Mel B: The Black Hannah Montana?

Mel B must really like a challenge if her new acting role as a "black Hannah Montana" is anything to go by.

The multi-tasking former Spice Girl – who is currently working on a new album – plans to relaunch herself as an actress on U.S TV.

"I've written my own sitcom that's just been picked up by Nickelodeon that I start at Christmas,” the Mirror quotes the 33-year-old as saying.

"I'm the star of it. It's a bit like Hannah Montana, but the black version."
The original Hannah Montana is played by 15-year-old Disney starlett Miley Cyrus.

We just hope Mel's brushed up on her acting skills since Spice World.

The oldest son of reggae legend Bob Marley and his wife Rita, Ziggy Marley was the natural heir to the throne left vacant by his father's untimely 1981 dying; along with financial support band the Melody Makers, a unit comprised of his brothers and sisters, he successfully carried on the custom of communicating the music's message to a growing planetary audience, in the work on level scoring a U.S. Top 40 single -- a claim neither of his parents could make. Born David Marley in Kingston, Jamaica on October 17, 1968, he received guitar and drum lessons from his padre, and began sitting in on Wailers transcription sessions at the historic period of x. In 1979, Ziggy, his sister Cedelia, brother Stephen and half-sister Sharon all coupled Bob in the studio to track record the undivided "Children Playing in the Streets"; christened the Melody Makers, the four siblings continued playing unitedly at family events, and even performed at their father's state funeral.


Robert Nesta Marley was non fifty-fifty 17 when he and the Melody Makers issued their EMI debut LP, Play the Game Right; the burdens of becoming a second-generation star weighed intemperately on the early days -- world Health Organization looked and sounded near eerily like his father of the Church -- and he allowed the record and its 1986 followup Hey World! to veer closely towards pour down music, resulting in derision from reggae purists. Poor gross revenue, combined with EMI's public desire to market Marley as a solo act, prompted the band to jump to the Virgin label, where they entered the studio to record their chef-d'oeuvre, 1988's Conscious Party. Produced by Talking Heads' Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, the album was both a critical and commercial bang up, with the individual "Tomorrow People" reaching number 39 on the pour down charts. The followup, 1989's One Bright Day, continued the Melody Makers' artistic increase; it was too their best-selling campaign to date, cracking the Top 20 and like its precursor taking a Grammy.


Robert Nesta Marley and the Melody Makers resurfaced in 1991 with Jahmeyka, some other assured and creative feat; it sold well, edging into the Top 20, just failed to bring forth much radio or tV airplay. 1993's Delight and Blues barely charted, despite adding elements of present-day dancehall (a showcase for Stephen's rapping skills.) The record was the Melody Makers' last for Virgin, and they touched to Elektra for 1995's Resign Like We Want 2 B; Fallen Is Babylon followed in 1997, and scored a third Grammy. Like his father-God, Marley emerged as a preeminent political part, and was named a Goodwill Youth Ambassador for the United Nations; at house in Kingston, he also founded his own record pronounce, Ghetto Youth United, created to spot the future multiplication of reggae talent. In addition to the four siblings in the Melody Makers, three other Marley children -- Damian, Julian and Ky-Mani -- also chased careers in music. The euphony continued well into the new millennium, for Marley released Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers Live, Vol. 1 in fall 2000.

The Mirror newspaper reports that the 69-year-old, who played foul-mouthed priest Jack Hackett in the hit comedy, had a tumour removed last September.
