Eddie Murphy used to be on top of the world. He was one of the biggest stars of the 80s - Saturday Night Live, Raw, Beverly Hills Cop - he was huge. He made horribly wretched music and people overlooked it. It seemed everything he touched turned to gold ... at least until Beverly Hills Cop III.
Eddie took advantage of a career lull to build a beautiful family of five kids with his wife, Nicole. They divorced after 13 years, and suddenly Eddie was a free man. And that's when he met Melanie Brown, aka Scary Spice.
Thus began a whirlwind romance - there were rumors of matching tattoos and impending marriage - but that all screeched to a halt when Melanie announced she was pregnant in October of '06. Eddie immediately (and rather publicly) cast doubt on his paternity, and all hell broke loose. Hell of a way to break up with your girl.
Oh, my God! Now there's SIX?!?Angel Iris Murphy Brown was born on April 3, 2007 - Eddie's birthday. The results of court-ordered DNA tests on baby Angel have been released, and Eddie's worst fears have been confirmed: He is the father. I guess it's safe to say Eddie didn't take the news well. He'll have to keep making movies until he's 80 - should've stuck with the TV hookers.
Will it go to court, or will Eddie wisely settle things quietly? Will he be a daddy to baby Angel, or just a trust fund? Most importantly, will this have any effect on the planned Spice Girls reunion?
