Publicist for Melanie Brown, Scary Spice to the entertainment world, has confirmed that Melanie has officially listed Eddie Murphy as the father of her daughter. The whole “is he or isn’t he the father” thing has been going on for awhile now with Melanie Brown continuing to insist he is and Eddie Murphy quickly denying the claims. From the above pictures I can’t imagine why he’d be hesitant to admit to being with this fiery fox!

The child was born on April 3 in Santa Monica, California and has been anxiously awaited as to allow for a DNA test. Melanie Brown claims that the test will reveal that Murphy is “absolutely the father”. Eddie Murphy had original drawn fire for his commentary that we’ll have to wait until it comes out to determine who is the biological father. Certainly not his finest hour, nor were the last dozen of his films for that matter. Considering all the studio magic he can pull with those costumes it seems he’d likely have opted for suiting ol’ Scary up in something similar.

This hilarious photo set was provided by the AP to go along with the story. They note that his picture was from 1991 while Brown’s was from 2004. Was this really the best they could do? Seriously, his photo is over 15 years old! Maybe someone over there just isn’t ready to give up on his good ol’ days of Beverly Hills Cop which have been traded in for such quality films as Bowfinger and The Adventures of Pluto Nash. You know what music was popular when that photo was taken? Here’s the top 5 songs from 1991 to give you a little frame of reference:

Top Hits from 1991
1. (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, Bryan Adams
2. I Wanna Sex You Up, Color Me Badd
3. Gonna Make You Sweat, C+C Music Factory
4. Rush Rush, Paula Abdul
5. One More Try, Timmy T

That’s right Bryan Adams and Paula Abdul were still popular. That’s how long it’s been! Come on Associated Press, you can do better, but thanks for the laugh.
