So Eddie Murphy is still denying paternity of Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown's baby girl, which is cold and callous and which - perhaps appropriately - confirms his status as a world-class ass.
But that's not what I find most bizarre about the saga of the adorable Angel Brown. (Because, please. Hollywood lotharios denying paternity? Not exactly shocking.) What's bizarre is the fact her mother seems to have named her after an early nineties sitcom character. A white, middle-aged sitcom character that became best known for getting into spats with former vice-president Dan Quayle. Yep. Little Angel Brown is actually Angel Iris Murphy Brown.
I know, I know. Eddie's last name is Murphy, hers is Brown, she's just making sure that Daddy don't get out of this one easy. But still. You'd think that if you were a single mom fighting for paternal support and acknowledgement you might want to avoid invoking the name of the (fictional) woman who flipped the (fictional) finger at the vice-president and became known for insisting that mothers need parenting partners like fish need bicycles.
Even if Murphy Brown is a better name than Norbit.
