Seriously? OMG! WTF?

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.

Victoria Beckham has begged friend Tom Cruise to help Mel B get through her messy break-up from Eddie Murphy. Victoria – who has remained close to her former Spice Girls bandmate – was appalled to hear Eddie questioning the paternity of Mel’s unborn child. The 32-year-old star has now apparently turned to the ‘Top Gun’ actor – who is friends with Eddie – to try and make the ‘Dr Dolittle’ star see sense. A source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: "Mel has told Victoria about Eddie’s comments on the phone. So Victoria mentioned Mel B’s situation to Tom, who is pals with Eddie. It seems Tom may now have a gentle word with him about backing off." As well as Tom, Victoria – who is married to soccer superstar David Beckham – wants more of her high-profile friends to rally round Mel B. The source added: "It’s highly likely that all Victoria’s American allies will be on Mel’s side. Jennifer Lopez, who is becoming a good pal of Victoria’s, knows how it works in Hollywood and is all for a bit of ‘Girl Power’."

Female First 

I am not sure I believe this because who saw Eddie Murphy at either TomKat wedding party? But then again they do share the same publicist? And obviously Posh Spice does not follow American press because being linked to TomFat is a bad thing!

Eddie Murphy shocked everyone when he claimed that the baby his ex-girlfriend Mel B is currently carrying was not his. He announced his split from the former Spice Girl on TV and at the same time insinuated that the baby was not even his. However, Murphy’s reasons have now come to light; after becoming convinced that Mel B was cheating on him he hired private detective to follow her around, they then saw Mel meeting up with a male friend in Los Angeles, a meeting that convinced Murphy she was cheating. Murphy is now demanding that Mel B’s baby have a DNA test as soon as it is born to determine the paternity of the child. A friend of Murphy’s told the News of the World: "Eddie had his suspicions that Mel was becoming close to a guy he knows. He was furious when he saw the pictures. "It does on the face of it seem spiteful to now doubt that he’s the father of the baby, but as far as he’s concerned he’s been humiliated too. He’s just evening the score."

Entertainment Wise 

Didn’t he cheat on his ex-wife? What comes around. goes around.

Mel B only found out Eddie Murphy had dumped her after being told by friends. The former Spice Girl, who was on a US flight when Eddie told the world their relationship was over, heard the news from worried pals after she had landed. Mel, better known as Scary Spice, admits she is "shell-shocked" by the news. She told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: "I’m shell-shocked by the whole thing. As far as I was concerned we hadn’t really broken up – we’d just had a bit of a row." Mel – who is five months pregnant – also insists the ‘Shrek’ star is definitely the father of her unborn baby, despite him saying he is going to request a paternity test when the child is born She added: "There’s no question that Eddie is the father of my baby. I haven’t been with anyone else since Eddie." Eddie’s friends have suggested his mother was a big factor in the break-up because she didn’t approve of Mel and "was suspicious she got pregnant so quickly after they met". Eddie was asked about his relationship with Mel on Dutch TV show ‘RTL Boulevard’ earlier this week. He angrily replied: "You’re being presumptuous, because 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." It seems Eddie has found a new love already. Tracey Edmonds, film producer and ex-wife of singer Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds, claims they have been dating for "about a month and a half".

That is some FUS especially if she is pregnant with his kid. 

Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds, a film producer and the ex-wife of singer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, are dating, she tells PEOPLE exclusively. The couple have been seeing each other "for about a month and a half," Edmonds said at the New York premiere of Dreamgirls, which she attended with Murphy on Monday. When asked if she was happy she smiled and said, "Yes, very happy. We’re having fun." Previously, Murphy had been seeing former Spice Girl, Melanie Brown. A rep for the comedian said, "We do not comment on Mr. Murphy’s personal life." Edmonds split from "Babyface" in October 2005 after 13 years together.

Interestingly the confirmation comes after Dlisted reported that Eddie told a Dutch TV station that he broke up with Scary Spice (Mel B) and is unsure he is the father of her baby. This is going to get good!!!
