Melanie Brown, aka 'Scary Spice,' has become a mainstream media sensation as of late -- with her much buzzed about paternity battle with box-office superstar Eddie Murphy.
Now that the former Spice Girls starlet is in the clear, with actual proof that the 'Beverly Hills Cop' star is indeed the father of her baby daughter (3-month old baby Angel Iris), she's no longer remaining mum about her ordeal swith Murphy.
Mel B, as she is also known, kicked the ballistics with Essence.com.
Excerpts are below ...
On the pregnancy: "Oh this was a completely planned pregnancy. This wasn't some random, "Oops I fell over and I'm pregnant." I don't live my life like that. I'm a responsible parent and have been a responsible single parent since I got divorced. This is the one thing that really annoys me. If I wanted to have a baby I would have had a baby a long 
time ago. I wouldn't have waited eight years to have another one."
On the break-up: "There was no official breakup. I went to London and on my return flight I learned that he made that announcement on that TV show about wanting a DNA test. Then I saw him on the red carpet with Tracey Edmonds and that's when I knew we were over."
On Eddie: "I'll simply say that there were lifestyle changes he would have to make if we were going to live together and do it properly that still weren't resolved. I have a house where it¹s about my kids and me. I don't have people knocking on my door at 3 and 4 in the morning. I have a very simple life-I don't have a ton of people looking after my kids-I'm a very regular person when it comes to that because I want my kids to have a normal life as much as possible."

I am not sure who to believe anymore. She says she could have had other baby years ago but she cashes in with Eddie. The life styles the entertainers live, how can you believe anybody? Eddie is loved and when you are loved in our black community you cannot do any wrong. Eddie makes a ton of money with the "Shrek" movie alone to afford kids. So he will continue to tell jokes and have kids while the women stand by him.

First he loves transvestites, now he is a dead beat, old ugly dad, way to go Eddie, seems like some black men just don't know how to get it right. Tracey Edmonds, better watch out, he seems opportunistic, and most likely is a pretty decent lover, she is all smiles. Makes you wonder, if all women regardless of their environment, just really wanting somebody to relight their psssion. He does not seem like a catch to me.
Peace
Janice

It's such a shame that the poor baby has to be brought into this world and have two morons for parents. Mel knew exactly what she was doing. The Spice Girls haven't had a hit record in how long? And Eddie just wanted...well we know what he wanted. Then his trifling ass gets on TV screaming for a DNA test. These two deserve each other, but the true victim in this whole debacle is the baby.

Mel I have one word for Eddie "KARMA" believe me just wish him and his new girl well. And you'll see great things will come to you, including the best partner for you, who will love you and your kids as his own. And as far for Eddie, dont' worry he will learn his lesson the hard way. Remember there is a Divine Power watching us.

Eddie is confused - he should have slept with "Baby" Spice, he would have had a better time, she's tighter
