We are American and used to scorned single mothers calling out deadbeat babydaddies with a tire iron through a windshield or a visit to the set of Montel Williams's eponymous talk show. So the rich British lady way of doing it comes as a bit of a shock to us. Melanie Brown–that's Scary Spice to you and me–called a press conference yesterday to formally admonish Eddie Murphy for not stepping forward to acknowledge their daughter, Angel Iris, either monetarily or in a nice parental-like way. People.com reports:
Brown, wearing a white dress, told the gathered reporters, "I am here for one reason and one reason only – her name is Angel. Angel is my baby and Eddie's. She will always know that she was planned and wanted by both of us, but I want her to know that she has two parents who desire to be responsible for her during her life and who love her so much that they want to be a part of it."
Brown said the pregnancy was planned and that the couple had discussed getting married after the birth. "This wasn't some random, 'Oops I fell over and I'm pregnant.' I don't live my life like that," she said.
You might not live your life like that, but we sure do! Except for us, it's less "Oops I fell over and I'm pregnant" and more "Oops I stubbed my toe and I married conjoined twins in Vegas." Or "Oops I had sex with an arena football team and now I have crabs." What can we say, we're accident-prone.
There's more Mel B. for you and me MrSkin.com.

Then maybe she might have considered getting married BEFORE getting knocked up???
