Mel B's on the Offensive

Alongside lining up some of LA's top lawyers to make sure that he pays for the child, should the DNA evidence point to him, The Sun reports that Scary Spice has also branded him a "cheating lying scumbag!"

She went on "He's going to get a shock if he thinks I'm going to take this lying down he's the father of my baby and he knows it!"

The Nutty Professor, and father of 8, turned up to the premiere of his new film Dreamgirls (which is ironic, since he seems like a bit of a nightmare) with new squeeze, producer Tracey Edmonds " who claims her and Eddie have been an item for 6 weeks - long before his midweek bombshell!

Murphy's chequered past has included a string of hit 80's films, followed by a major dip in the 90's, during which time he was also pulled over by Hollywood police with a transvestite prostitute in the back of his car.

With a history like that it's not going to be a long day at the office for Mel's lawyers, should the DNA test prove conclusive

At the moment Mel's only official statement reads:

"I am obviously distressed at the comments made by Eddie Murphy to the media I have no idea why anybody would conduct themselves about such a personal matter in such a public way."

This is really shaping up to be just the beginning...
