Tuesday morning, 10am and our interviewer Lisa prepares to meet Melita, the self professed “It Girl” of Tinseltown right now. As she walks in we are expecting a stick-thin, plastic and heavy made-up diva to walk in, but were utterly surprised when the total opposite arrives at the studio. Wearing a comfy hoodie, plain jeans and flip flops with minimal make-up, we were all astonished when Melita walked in. Greeting staff on arrival with hugs and kisses she is a far cry from her video persona. After greeting Lisa and raving about how much she loves London, Melita finally sits down and the interview commences….

Hello Melita! It’s great to finally meet you.
Hi, Its great to meet you too. I‘m so excited to
be here and to be in London. The last time I
was here was for a video with snoop[Dogg]
and i absolutely loved it.
Yes. Snopp Dogg, Jay Z, Britney,
Christina, Pharell, Lil’ Wayne. The amount
of high profile music videos that you have
featured in is endless.
(Laughs) Well, I have had the privelidge of
working with many artists. I have been very
lucky in my career so far.
We also hear that you are set to be in the
“King of Pop” himself, Micheal Jackson’s next
video! Is this true?
(Laughs) i havent even heard that rumour yet!
(Laughs) But as far as I know. Nothing has been
confirmed.
It’s true you are very popular amongst the
male musicians of the industry, and have been
handpicked for many of their videos. So has
anything ever happened romantically between
you and any of them?
No. Never. When I am om set for a video it is strictly
business and nothing more.
But don’t you ever feel tempted; you must admit
some of these guys are very hot.
Well yes i must admitt that some of them are pretty
hot (giggles) but when Im on a job its strictly
business (smiles).
That leads us to my next question. It is very
apparent that you have made a good living out
of this career. So we must ask, how much have
you actually earned over the course of your
wholesome career so far?
Ooh, you cant ask me that (Laughs).
Not even an estimate?
Well, to be honest i dont really know. I have never
actually conted it all. I’d have to speak to my
Accountant (smiles).
Ok, ok, we will let that one slide. Now tell us
about some of the advantages of being a top
MVG (Music Video Girl)?
Well there are a lot of priviledges I must admitt.
You get to travel the world, meet great new people,
make good money and even though it can be
hardwork. it is fun.
Wow your life sounds fantastic.
(Smiles) Well at the moment i really cant complain.
We hear that you are looking to expand your
global domination even further.
Yes. Erm, I have quite a bit of business ventures
going on at the moment. I’m in the process of writing
a book, which I am very excited about. I also have a
line of lingere coming out named “sweet candy”
and I will be starring in my own reality show for
E! Entertainment.
Wow, your one busy woman.
I know! But i absolutely adore my job so it’s
not a problem. (Smiles)
Would you ever consider actually becoming an
artist yourself? Releasing a single maybe?
Oh wow. Ironically I’v never even thought about
that even considering how I am so involved in the
industry. Wow (looks a bit puzzled) that’s a good
question (both laugh)
Have you got any other talents that we do not
know of?
Hmmm..well i can touch my toes on the back of
my head. If you’d call that a talent!
Wow, that sounds interesting.
(Laughs)Trust me, It’s really not. It’s actually kinda weird.
You have also been romantically linked to
basketball player Sirone Fisher. Care to comment?
He’s one of the 50 guys im supposedly dating! All I have
to say is that yes, I have met him and yes we are friends.
So your not going to tell us anything. Not even
one little thing.
I dont really like to comment on my
personal life really. It’s better that way.
Ok Fair enough. So how did you actually get into
the MVG scene to begin with?
So finally, what advice would you give to young
women looking to break into the industry?
Well thank you for the interview
it’s been a pleasure meetung you.
Like wise, thank you for having me. Its been fun.
Melita is currently in the process of releasing a
book entitled “Life behind the music” which will
be released on the 24th May 2008.
