More Mel B / Murphy nonsense

Reports suggest that Spice Girl Mel B's publicist confirmed on Friday that ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy's name has been put on the birth certificate of her new baby girl. Murphy's people have not, as yet, commented on that report. As previously reported, Murphy has questioned the paternity of the baby, despite the former Spice Girl saying there is no doubt he is the father. Whether the birth certificate announcement means the expected DNA test has settled the paternity dispute we're not sure. Nor whether there is any truth in rumours Mel is in talks with various US magazines re a big tell all cover story, designed to shame her ex, who has refused to have anything to do with the new baby since she was born. Given he was pretty vocal (and bitchy) in public regarding his paternity accusations when Mel B confirmed she was pregnant last year, I'm not sure I'd blame her if she did.
