Scary Spice's Kid -- Officially Named a Murphy

Eddie Murphy doesn't believe he's the father, but Scary Spice Melanie Brown gave her baby daughter the name "Murphy" anyway.

TMZ has obtained an official copy of a birth certificate for Mel B's daughter Iris-Angel Murphy Brown, born April 3 in Santa Monica, Calif., months after the former Spice Girl and the comedian split. Interestingly, the section that lists the child's father has been left blank.

Cameras caught Eddie at a Beverly Hills doctor's office Monday where he was reportedly undergoing a paternity test. The "Dreamgirls" star told Dutch TV in December that any assumption that Eddie was the little girl's dad was "presumptuous," adding "I don't know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test."

A rep for Murphy refused to comment on the actor's personal life.

Paging Larry Birkhead!

Who's My Daddy?!

106. I dont see Murphy as the middle name , any one can have 2 last names...and FYI..You dont have to have the father sign the document in order to use his last name...you can use ANY last name you choose on a birth certificate..

108. The reason why Eddie's name is not on the birth cert, is because in the state of CA the father has to sign his name as the father. You can not implicate a man as your child's father without him being present to agree. However, you may give the child any last name you want.

109. Sheesh!! When the results of the paternity test are in, let us know. Until then there's really nothing to report.

113. When the paternity test comes back and proves that Eddie Murphy is the father of Scary's daugher, Eddie, you better step up and take care of you're daughter! You are a good actor when it comes to movies, but you are a jackass because you are denying you're own flesh and blood!

115. Seems to me..that SHE trapped Him..

Yes, I know that's hard to beleive.. but none the less..
she told him she was taking the Pill and thus he was "suckered" in by her... to get pregant.. they can get her Medial Records and any Prescriptions she's had going back for yrs..

This is how he got out of another one in the past...

This is just Celeberty/Rich Mans Course #101... even if she showed him the BC package of Pills , still doesn't mean she took them..on a regular basis...

Butt...giving them a Morning After Pill with their Morning OJ is in every Celeberty/ Rich Mans and every Married Mans #101 course on fooling around with Women/Girls.. or so COSMO says in their Magazine..

And if they prove she defrauded him? She can go to jail and loose the Child...

Especially if she was a Known Player herself..let alone a Prostitute..Inwhich she should go to jail and put the baby up for adoption..

116. "you can't got putting any father's name on your child's birth certificate all willie nillie. The dad has to sign off on that"

#7 Bird - are you NUTS??? Have you forgotten the Anna Nicole - Howard K. Stern fiasco? ANS put Stern's name on Dannielynn's birth certificate.

Old news though, I guess.

118. #114 - GROW UP!!! She "trapped" him? He is an ADULT - he should be responsible as well - good Lord, in this day and age, you need to be responsible for YOURSELF - just because someone SAYS they are using birth control, better safe than sorry, and use a condom. I thought ANY moron knew that. Next you will be saying that she snuck into his wallet and poked a hole in the condom.

Oh, and FYI - Eddie did NOT ask for the paternity test - it was COURT ORDERED, and that is why he was not in Paris for the premiere of SHREK 3, he was in L.A. for the test. At least get your facts straight.

Seems to me like it's just the players out there that are calling Scary every name in the book - sounds like a classic case of placing the blame on the women.

#82.....is totally correct...................


I just feel ,,,,,,,, celebs doesn't spend quality time with your children , but they

want to BRAG , oh my daughter / son this or that . If you can't spend time

with your children , then the female / male should of been fixed years before.

Child grows up and says " Oh my parents didn't spend time or didn't do this /that .

Parents was always on a vacation , out of the country ,etc...........Poor ass excuse

for a parent . Again if you going to have children take that time with them ,

that them have a good memory of there childhood .


I'm so glad , I raised my children , and they've good memories , and we did

what normal responsible parents are suppose to do . Now they're young

Adults with responsiblities.

Posted at 7:06AM on Jun 14th 2007 by # 82 totally right ...........I raised my kids to grow up and be responsible young adults
