Eddie Murphy did a stupid thing. He got Scary preggers and then tried to deny it because he found someone younger and hotter. Scary even says it was a planned pregnancy, but I find that hard to believe about a guy who has a half-dozen kids already. Can you imagine what his child support bill is each month? Zonkers.
After baby Angel was born, Eddie was compelled to take a DNA test, which confirmed what Melanie (Scary) had been saying: He's the babydaddy. After a feeble confirmation of this from Eddie's people, that's all he's done so far, say, "Yeah, it's my kid and I will do the right thing for it." Heartwarming, isn't it? No, what's really heartwarming is that Scary says she just wants Eddie to have a real relationship with his daughter and that money is not the issue. Uh, right. If it's not about the dollars, then why bring ... her ... into it? Enter the Allred. Gloria Allred, that is.
Scary and scarier
Gloria Allred is a feminist lawyer, kind of like the brain of Roy Cohn in the body of a rabid wolverine. She is brilliant and outspoken, appearing on TV and hosting her own radio show. She's even been Emmy-nominated. Gloria's real claim to fame has been her representation of people like Amber Frey (Scott Peterson's girlfriend) and her penchant for gender discrimination cases. She was the lawyer who sued the Boy Scouts because they wouldn't let girls in. She sued K-Mart for having a separate section for boys' and girls' toys. Get the picture? Oh, woe to Eddie. And woe to Melanie, too, if she thinks there will be a chance for that "real relationship" now.
