SPICE GIRLS star MELANIE BROWN stunned America for a second week running on reality TV hit DANCING WITH THE STARS on Monday night (05Nov07) - by scoring top marks with her Paso Doble.
The Wannabe singer and professional partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy were given 10 out of 10s by all three of the show’s talent judges, and have now cemented themselves as favourites in the competition.
British judge Len Goodman was left speechless by Brown’s performance on the dancefloor, while fellow panelist Bruno Tonioli gushed, "My jaw was on the desk." Mel B and Chmerkovskiy received top marks last week (29Oct07) when they danced the rumba on the show.
Still in the competition are actresses Jane Seymour and Jennie Garth, Marie Osmond, U.S. soap stud Cameron Mathison and racing driver Helio Castroneves.
Another celebrity will be voted off the show on Tuesday night (06Nov07).

A Christian media watchdog group is calling for "satanic" rapper 50 CENT to retire.
The Resistance objects to the hip-hop superstar’s lyrics and lifestyle, and want him to step down as he promised he would if Kanye West’s Graduation beat his Curtis disc to the top of the U.S. albums chart - which it did.
The organisation wants people to swamp 50 Cent’s MySpace.com webpage with requests for him to quit.
The Resistance spokesman Mark Dice says, "It is time for 50 Cent to be a man of his word, and retire. The world will be a better place when this satanic piece of filth retires and stops making music."

British actress KEIRA KNIGHTLEY’s family and friends have banned her from reading newspapers because she finds it hard to control her temper while leafing through them.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star admits she gets "incredibly angry" when reporters write opinionated news pieces.
She tells American magazine Elle, "I’m a moody bastard. Actually, I’ve been banned from reading newspapers because the way they’re written angers me so much. If I want an opinion, I’ll read the opinion part of the newspaper. I do not want it when I’m trying to get the facts.
"I get incredibly angry. It really f**ks me off. See, I have to calm down about it." And Knightley becomes particular irate when reading about herself.
She adds, "What I hate is that they shove in your face - this is what you want to be. And you think, ‘F**k that. I don’t want it. Stop telling me I want to look like her. Stop telling me I want that life.’ I don’t."

Rapper T.I. insists his feud with LUDACRIS’ manager CHAKA ZULU is over, because he doesn’t want to be a bad example to his kids.
The You Know What It Is hitmaker famously fought with Zulu at a charity luncheon in California in June (07).
He later publicly apologised for the bust-up during his Best Male Hip-Hop Artist honour acceptance speech at the B.E.T. Awards a few days later.
T.I. - real name Clifford Harris - has since come into contact with Zulu and admits he blanked him because the two rivals have nothing to say to each other - and he’d prefer it to stay that way.
He tells designer Marc Ecko’s Complex magazine, "I got a great life and wonderful children, and I do intend to be here to guide them for the rest of their lives, and that’s what’s most important to me.
"Maybe when I was 18 or 19, runnin’ the streets and shootin’ pistols, but I’m not gonna blow that for one of these cats who don’t happen to live by the same principles as me." And T.I. insists there’s no feud between him and Ludacris as a result of the altercation: "I seen him at the (MTV) VMAs and spoke to him… He smiled and shook my hand and we took pictures. That let me know he don’t want no trouble."

LATEST: THE OSMONDS patriarch GEORGE OSMOND’s death has put an upcoming U.S. TV special honouring the famous family in jeopardy.
The 90-year-old was scheduled to join his kids on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show on Friday (09Nov07), but he died at his home in Utah on Tuesday morning (06Nov07).
The nine Osmond kids are now parentless - their mother, Olive, died in 2004.
Ironically, Osmond’s most famous son, Donny, was scheduled to appear on U.S.
news show Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday evening to discuss a recent meeting with his dad.
In the taped interview, an emotional Donny reveals, "He (dad) only lives about three minutes from my home… I walk in and he just lights up and says, ‘Donny, I love you.’ "He doesn’t say much but when he saw me and said, ‘Donny, I love you…’ that’s all he needs to do." As WENN went to press, it was not known if the Oprah Osmonds special would go ahead.
Meanwhile, Donny’s sister Marie is the second contestant on U.S. TV’s Dancing With The Stars to suffer the loss of a parent on the show this season - actress Jane Seymour’s mother died last month (Oct07).
