Mel B wins right to bring daughter on tour

Mel B has won a custody battle with her ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar to allow her to bring eldest daughter Phoenix Chi on tour with her.

Dancer Jimmy Gulzar, who divorced the singer in 2000, argued that she should not be allowed to take their eight-year-old daughter on the Spice Girls tour because the travelling would disrupt his visitation schedule.

The Spice Girl was given full physical custody of Phoenix Chi but Gulzar was granted set visitation rights to see her.

The issue was brought before a Los Angeles court, where Judge Robert Schnider ruled that the star should be allowed to have her children with her.

Brown has another daughter with actor Eddie Murphy, who denied he was the father until a DNA test proved otherwise.

Scary Spice married film producer Stephen Belafonte in June this year after a four-month relationship.
