03/20/2007 - Melanie Chisholm - © Solarpix / PhotorazziThe former Spice Girl has revealed she feels sorry for the stars of reality television.Mel said: "I think that reality shows such as 'Pop Idol' were partly born from the success of the Spice Girls. I really feel for those young artists. They have these dreams of becoming huge stars, which they are - for five minutes."During her Spice Girls days, the 33-year-old famously battled depression and eating disorders, and certainly doesn't envy today's pop star wannabes.Mel said: "They experience the downsides of fame without any of the perks. Everyone knows who they are, they have to experience the ridicule of becoming a failure and they never even make enough money to be able to afford to go into therapy."(C) BANG Media International
