Break out the cigars - DNA test shows Murphy is dad of Spice girl's baby - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A DNA test has confirmed actor-comedian Eddie Murphy is the father of the newborn daughter of Spice Girl singer Melanie Brown, People magazine reported on Friday, citing Brown's representative.

Brown, 32, gave birth to Angel Iris Murphy Brown in April and listed Murphy as the father on the child's birth certificate, but the star of movies like "Beverly Hills Cop" and "Dreamgirls" has never publicly acknowledged paternity.

Earlier this month, media outlets reported that Murphy, 46, had taken a DNA test and Brown's representative, Liza Anderson, told People the results, confirming Murphy's paternity, were given to Brown on Thursday.

Murphy's spokesman declined to comment.

Brown, who dated Murphy last summer, was "Scary Spice" in the 1990s all-girl British pop group that scored hit songs such as "Wannabe." Members of the group have scheduled a news conference for Thursday, sparking speculation that they will reunite for a tour and album.

Now maybe Eddie will step up as a man and take responsibility.

Brian, this guy stormed out in a huff after he lost the Oscar. I don't see him taking responsibility here.

Not to mention how arrogant and condescending Eddie was in various interviews denying paternity of the child...

Poor kid deserves better.

This doesn't surprise me. I think Eddie was holding out hope that Spice hooked up with someone else, but no cigar. Well, like catlover says, break out the cigars, lol.
