UPDATE June 22: Source close to Melanie Brown tells People that DNA test results delivered to Brown on Thursday afternoon show conclusively that Eddie Murphy is the father of Brown’s two-month old daughter, Angel Iris Murphy Brown.

UPDATE April 11: British gossip site Exposay.com is reporting that Melanie Brown has listed Eddie Murphy as the father of her newborn daughter, Fortuna Daphne Bay, on the child’s birth certificate. Of course, being on the birth certificate for Dannielynn didn’t make Larry Birkhead the baby’s daddy, but I doubt that we’ll see a repeat. My money is on Mel B. for knowing who the daddy is.

Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown will be leaving the Santa Monica hospital any day now, taking home her new baby girl to meet big sister Phoenix Chi.

“Baby Brown,” as she has come to be known, was born on April 3 — Eddie Murphy’s birthday.

This is going to be right up there with the Dannielynn Smith paternity media circus: for starters, mom is alive and well and has argued from the beginning of her pregnancy that Eddie Murphy is the father, and second, Eddie Murphy has certainly implied, on the record, that he’ll submit to a paternity test. Of course, that was no doubt said without a lawyer present, so maybe he has some wiggle room there.

Why do I have the feeling that Melanie Brown is going to come out the winner here, and Murphy is going to be paying some hefty child support for the next 18 years?

I can’t wait til Melanie B. gets out of hospital and this legal circus kicks into high gear, alongside the Dannielynn Smith paternity proceedings.

How will CNN and Fox TV have enough airtime to cover both of these nationally important stories? Will there be enough talking heads and legal experts to go around? Can Larry King get Howard K. Stern and Eddie Murphy on the same show? It should be fun, folks.
