SCARY Spice, Mel B has hired a top Hollywood lawyer to fight comic Eddie Murphy in the courts. The 31-year-old has called in legal veteran Don Engel to take on the funnyman, who has denied he is the father of her unborn child. Engel, who charges $500 an hour, has represented heavyweight artists including Cher, Meatloaf and Fleetwood Mac. He has an unrivalled reputation as one of Hollywood’s biggest legal hitters and is renowned in the music biz. Mel has vowed to get every penny she can from the 45-year-old actor who she began dating six months ago. She was dumped after he claimed in an interview on Dutch TV that they were no longer an item. And the Beverly Hills Cop star has even demanded a DNA test to prove whether he was the father or not. A pal of the former Spice Girl said: "Mel is refusing to lie down and let Eddie walk all over her – and this is reflected in her choice of lawyer. "She wants to hit him where it hurts… in the pocket and they don’t come much better than Don." Sources suggest that Mel may be able to get as much as £15million in lifelong payments for their unborn child. Yorkshire-born Mel – real name Melanie Brown – interviewed a raft of Hollywood lawyers before she plumped for Don’s services. A law insider said: "Don’s services don’t come cheap but he is one of the best lawyers around. "Most lawyers would relish taking on an A-list star and Don will surely be no exception." Murphy, who is already dating film producer Tracey Edmonds, 39, will be no pushover though. He has millions to throw at an equally heavyweight lawyer and will fight Mel B’s claim all the way. But a pal close to Mel said: "She is just as feisty and is determined to win. "A reconciliation is probably out the question after he humiliated her in such a way on television. "She has been devastated by what has happened – especially since they had talked about marriage. "This is war – and if Eddie doesn’t know it, he will very shortly." You go, girl…

You know at this point she is just doing it to humilate him which I guess she does owe him one for what he did to her…but if she did cheat on him then…well maybe they are even. I just don’t know anymore.
