Eddie Murphy will have to eat his words.

The actor and comedian was adamant that he was not the father of Melanie Brown's baby - despite her frequent declarations that he had fathered the child.

The Spice Girls have been banned from getting pregnant ahead of their reunion, it has been reported. The five-piece band have been issued a strict set of rules by their manager Simon Fuller to ensure their lucrative comeback goes as smoothly as possible.

High on the list of dos and don'ts is a plea to Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, and Melanie Chisholm to "not become pregnant - please!".

Paul Burrell will not be in Britain to mark the 10th anniversary of Britain's Princess Diana's death. Diana's former butler, who has come under immense criticism for selling stories about his time with the princess, has reportedly told friends he will mark the sad occasion by appearing on U.S. talk shows.

Burrell said his decision was made when Diana's sons, Princes William and Harry, excluded him from the concert being held in their mother's honor on July 1 at London's Wembley Stadium.

Melanie Brown is doing what many stars before her have had to do - take her ex to court for paternity tests.

Despite Eddie Murphy claiming that he wouldn't admit to fathering the ex-Spice Girls' baby until a DNA test was done, the comedian has refused to go through with the tests. The only option left for Mel, it seems, is court. And she is preparing for the battle.

The latest celebrity paternity case, between Melanie Brown and Eddie Murphy, is continuing to escalate.

While Angel Iris Murphy Brown is only weeks old, her famous mother, former Spice Girl Mel B, continues to insist that Eddie is the father. But it is not just Eddie's paternity that is being questioned. The singer is also raising an eyebrow to his latest relationship with TV producer Tracey Edmonds.
