Eddie Murphy ackowledges child and pays support

brown_murphy180.jpg Actor Eddie Murphy is finally owning up to the fact that he is in fact the father of the baby that Melanie Brown, Former Spice Girl, gave birth to in April.

He and Melanie lunched together last week and shortly after meeting with Brown Murphy’s rep stated that he “acknowledges paternity of the child Angel, and has paid child support to Ms. Brown as well as covering the expenses of her pregnancy.”

Throughout Brown’s pregnancy Murphy had questioned the paternity of the baby, however in June DNA tests were done to establish the fact that the little girl, Angel Iris born on April 3rd, is indeed Eddie Murphy’s child.

Brown and her lawyer Gloria Allred have accused Murphy of not paying “one penny of child support.” Now that paternity has been established Melanie Brown will be seeking sole custody.

Murphy is already the father of five children whom he had with former wife Nicole Murphy. Their divorce was recently finalized and Murphy is now engaged to Tracey Edmonds.

Birkhead and Arthur to meet for custody discussion?

I’ve missed a few days posting and celeb news here this week. Sorry to my regular visitors. I’ve been quite ill the last few days and just haven’t been able to get to the blog to update you on all the latest juicy happenings.

Well .. as I’m sure you’ve already heard, Larry Birkhead’s DNA test revealed that he is indeed the father of baby Dannielynn. I’m not the least bit surprised at that news. The way Howard Stern was acting in the last two weeks before the DNA reports were finalized led me to believe that he knew or strongly suspected that he wasn’t the father of Anna Nicoles baby girl.

So what’s happening now? Well, Virgie Arthur, mother of Anna Nicole Smith, had her lawyer, John O’Quinn announce that she and Larry Birkhead will be meeting privately sometime tomorrow. No lawyers will be present while they talk. Hmmm wouldn’t it be interesting if Polycom video conferencing were set in the room and we could all listen in?

The pair are meeting to discuss what they believe will be in the best interest of the baby and to try to make whatever they decide happen. O’Quinn said that they will try to create a custody solution that the court will be likely to approve.
