Mel B is so insistent that Eddie Murphy is the father of her daughter, Fortuna Daphne Bay (I have no trouble with the Daphne bit, it’s very Scooby Doo, but Fortuna?) that she has named Murphy on her birth certificate. If Fortuna does end up sharing the grumphy comedian’s DNA, that will make her Murphy’s 6th child. Mel B can also stand to earn quite a bit in child support payments (which is good for her, as she hasn’t really done anything since the Spice Girls, and there’s only so far being Scary Spice can get you):
Here’s the recap from The Daily Mirror:
The former Spice Girl has put the actor’s name on Fortuna Daphne Bay’s birth certificate.
And she’s adamant that a DNA test will prove that the 46-year-old Dreamgirls star is her new baby’s dad.
Surely when it starts laughing outrageously and acting the ass, we’ll all know the truth…
A source said: “Mel has no doubt Eddie is the father and she wanted to make the point.”
The article also says that although she wants to prove the once funny man is the father of Fortuna, she doesn’t want him to be actually involved in the little girl’s day to day life.
I completely agree with Scary Spice keeping Murphy at bay (except for his massive checkbook, that is). Eddie Murphy has handled the break up with Mel B very badly by going on television and giving poor Scary a Matt Damon/Steve Bing sucker punch, then stepping out with a woman who’s not afraid to use relaxer on her hair the next week. I completely understand why Mel would not want a man who could say such hurtful things in her child’s life.
Besides that, the man also wrote and starred in Norbit, a crime against cinema making so horrendous that rumour has it that it made him actually lose the Academy Award for the first decent bit of acting I have seen out of him since the 80’s. I know the actual physical pain this film can cause–I lost a bet and was forced to watch Norbit as my punishment, and I had to buy 50 bottles of Visine to clean the filth from my eyes after watching it. Norbit alone should surely prove Murphy is not of right mind and body to be around regular people.
Some one tell me why Tracy Edmonds would find Eddy Murphy attractive. She can do much better than that!
Mel B has to learn that child support is not a pension.
Funny stuff on Norbit. Man, the trailers for that movie looked so bad that I switched the channel when they came on.
As far as Eddy goes, if he’s the father he’ll have to pay up. If a guy goes out in the rain without an umbrella, then he’s going to have to deal with all the flowers that tend to pop up. I feel sorry for the kid. Father’s are an important part of a child’s life. I don’t think Norbit is a great dad. Maybe the kid will be better off when she grows up and her mother makes her watch Norbit as punishment.
Furtuna?!? I guess all of the Spice Girls are missing the baby-naming gene. Sorry Pheonix, Bluebell, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz (and yes, I’m ashamed I know them all). Wonder what Baby Spice will come up with.
Very poetic baby-daddy talk, Mr. T.
Ahhh….Spring is busting out all over Eddie Murphy’s loins.
Murphy needs to get ready to dole out a good chunk of child support. he was an asshole to her. don’t worry, he can afford it…he has several mansions in beverly hills and in new jersey…
tracey edmunds was married to babyface…i dont remember the exact story from years ago, but eddie murphy was best friends with babyface…and at that time he had an affair with tracey edmunds. dumb.
For-tuna really. Is she Dolphin safe? Should there be some kind of board that has to approve the names that celebs give there children?
The Spice Sluts have always embarrassed me. But I did think Mel had something the others didn’t have, i.e., charisma and talent, and I’m going for the underdog in this situation since Eddie is such a pompous ass.
Actually, with all the royalties and leftover money from album sales, the spice girls are each worth about $10 million. Posh, Mel C and Geri are worth more since they had solo careers of one kind or another after the breakup.
And isn’t Eddie Murphy’s face in the dictionary under “Manwhore?”
