Unless he borrows someone else's DNA for the paternity test
When life throws you lemons, make a tabloid pay for your private family photos. Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown unveiled her new, temporarily fatherless daughter on the cover of OK! magazine. The inspired headline reads, "Eddie Murphy, Meet Your Daughter."
Upon examining the picture, I wonder if I haven't been a little hard on Eddie in this situation. Murphy, who would love for people to believe the kid isn't his, may have fallen into some Chris Rock-esque luck. Angel Iris Murphy Brown doesn't look a thing like him.
I was kind of looking forward to the baby mama jokes that would come from Chris Rock's paternity suit, but now I'm not sure the case is going to get very far, due to the fact that the accuser is completely insane. Luckily for Chris Rock, TMZ uncovered the lengthy and bizarre rap sheet of the woman who claims Rock is the father of her 13-year-old son.
And it doesn't end there! In the last two years, more than ten incident reports detail some truly strange encounters with police, including one in which cops say she claimed to have been held at gunpoint and forced to "ingest some white powder," a tale which her own son contradicted under questioning. Bad checks, domestic disturbances, and several veracity-questionable incidents left police scratching their heads.
Rock never denied that he had an affair with the woman, which is troublesome, but no one would doubt him if he denied it now. Eddie Murphy's dying of jealousy right now.
