Eddie Murphy's Side of the Baby Mama Drama (Sort Of)

Eddie Murphy has never spoken publicly about the drama involving Melanie Brown and the baby, Angel, except when he first said the baby wasn't his. Now someone, of course a nameless source, who says they know the real deal, has sounded off with "Eddie's side" of things.

An acquaintance of Eddie Murphy has volunteered some info on WHY Eddie appeared to treat Melanie Brown, the mother of his child Angel, so badly. According to the source, Eddie and Melanie never lived together and in fact, only slept together three times. She assured Eddie that she had a coil implanted for contraception. That's why, when Mel told Eddie she was pregnant, he couldn't believe he was the father. Eddie had already decided that Melanie wasn't up to his standards quality-wise. On one of their first dates she hinted that she'd like to have a three-way. And she was a bit loud and flashy at times. Supposedly, their relationship was already over when Melanie told Eddie she was pregnant. When he reacted badly she offered him a deal: she'd leave him alone if he'd give her nine million dollars, a Malibu house, and living expenses for 18 years. Eddie feels like he was conned and never wants to lay eyes on her again so he won't be visiting their daughter Angel. Eddie figures that when Angel gets older she might try to contact HIM.

Eddie Murphy and Spiritual Wife Split

So, did anyone not see this one coming? Eddie Murphy and his "spiritual bride", Tracey Edmonds, have split two weeks after their commitment ceremony in Bora Bora. The couple had returned Stateside with the intention of legally tieng the knot, but apparently this must have been a very eye opening two weeks for someone!

"After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further.

While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends."

Things that make you go "Hmmmmm..."

Melanie B. Names Her Kid.....Again

Okay, color me completely confused. I am reading all these blurbs that Melanie Brown, aka Scary Spice, has named her new baby girl and put Eddie Murphy down as the dad.

Didn't we already cover this?

Here's the other confusing part: All the blurbs say that the baby's name is Angel Iris Murphy Brown. Didn't she already name the kid Fortuna Bay, like 2 weeks ago? None of these blurbs mention anything about the name change, and she already had Murphy on the birth certificate.

What the h-e-double-toothpicks is going on here?

Scary Spice Puts Murphy's Name on Birth Certificate

Melanie Brown, AKA Scary Spice, popped out her new baby girl named Fortuna Daphne Bay a few days ago, but that's not what's news here. The news part is that she went ahead and put Eddie Murphy's name on the baby's birth certificate after he publicly denied being the baby's father.

The couple dated for six months last year until Murphy announced on TV that "we're not together anymore".

Last November - a month after Brown announced her pregnancy news - the Dreamgirls actor publicly dismissed her claims of paternity on Dutch TV show RTL Boulevard, saying, "I don't know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test."

No tests have been announced yet, and Murphy has not responded or commented on the birth of Brown's baby.

Scary Spice is New Mom

Melanie Brown, AKA Scary Spice, is a new mama to an unnamed baby girl. The baby was born this morning at 12:11am, coincidentally on supposed baby-daddy Eddie Murphy's own birthday.

Stay tuned to the saga of finding out who is the baby's daddy. Paternity testing will follow, if Murphy has his way. He denies that Scary's baby is his.

Brown's spokeswoman says, "The baby is completely healthy with a good head of hair. Mother and baby are now resting. No name has been decided on as yet, and she is purely known as Baby Brown."

Janet Jackson to Star on Big Screen Again

Janet Jackson will be making a return to the big screen opposite Tyler Perry in 'Why Did I Get Married?', based on a play of the same name. The film revolves around a couple who go away with friends every winter to examine their marriage in a group setting, with one of the wives bringing along a sexy temptress who causes trouble.

Jackson's last screen outing was in 2000, in 'The Nutty Professor', with Eddie Murphy. She was also supposed to be in a movie last year and gained 60 pounds for the role, but the deal fell through, leaving Jackson a bit on the hefty side. She has bounced back wholeheartedly, and looks even better than before, if recent magazine layouts are to be believed.

Eddie Murphy's a Hot Mess

Eddie Murphy makes for quite the hot piece in his upcoming film 'Norbit'.

Murphy to Scary Spice: Screw You, and London Too

TMZ reports that Eddie Murphy skipped the London premiere of 'Dreamgirls' because he not only didn't want to run into pregnant ex Melanie Brown, but he was scared of her rabid British fans. Murphy's reps say he just had scheduling conflicts with the publicity for his new film 'Norbit'.

I'd be scared too after the public, and not so subtle, way he dumped her live on a Dutch talkshow, and at the same time denied he is the father of her unborn child.

Smooth moves, Eddie. You've got a way with the ladies, dude.
