Poor Scary Spice...

As we reported earlier, it looks like there will definitely be a paternity test given when Melanie B. (formerly of the Spice Girls) gives birth in a few months to her baby. She says it's Eddie Murphy's baby. He says he's not so sure.

In a statement released today, Mel said, "I am obviously upset and distressed at some of the comments made by Eddie Murphy to the media. I have no idea why anybody would want to conduct themselves in this kind of manner about such a personal matter in such a public way. "My main concern is for the well being of my (seven-year-old) daughter Phoenix and of course the baby. I was astonished at what Eddie said - there is absolutely no question that Eddie is the father."

In an interview that aired on Monday, Eddie said about Melanie and the upcoming baby, "We're not together anymore. And I don't know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn't jump to conclusions, sir."

Poor Melanie didn't even know their relationship was over until the interview aired. Ouch. Reminds me of when Minnie Driver learned that her relationship with Matt Damon was over, only because he announced he was single on Oprah.

Poor kid. Not even born yet and already all this drama. I only hope that if Eddie is NOT the father, someone more caring is.
