A source said: "Mel is done with him trying to make her look like a fool. Denying that he is the dad, is just absurd. Unless it was immaculate conception, the DNA test will prove he is the father."

Another insider added: "She means business. She’s in secret talks with a big network in the States, but in the meantime she’s been advised to take the softly softly approach."

Mel to snub Spices? - APril 27 2007
Mel B will reportedly snub the other Spice Girls - by not inviting them to her daughter’s christening.

The 31-year-old, who is based in LA, plans to hold a small ceremony in her home town of Leeds and only invite close friends and family, according to the Daily Star.

Mel, who gave birth to Angel Iris Murphy Brown on April 3, was the only Spice Girl missing from the christening of Geri Halliwell’s daughter Bluebell in London last weekend.

Her younger sister Danielle persuaded the former Scary Spice to bring the baby back to the UK for the ceremony, according to the paper.

A insider said: "Danielle wanted Mel to bring little Angel home. But they’ll be none of this showbiz talk - it’s strictly family only.

"There’s no way Mel wants a christening like Geri had. She thinks that having showbiz guests, including her former band members would take away from the real reason they are there.

"In any case, she has moved on since the Spice Girls days."

Mel gives baby Eddie’s name - April 24 2007
Former Spice Girl Mel B has given her baby daughter Eddie Murphy’s surname and insisted: "He’s the dad."

The three-week old little girl is called Angel Iris Murphy Brown.

Hollywood star Eddie has demanded DNA tests to prove he is the father.

But Mel - real name Melanie Brown - revealed the baby’s name in a statement today and said: "Angel, as she was my little angel through my pregnancy. Iris, as it’s my grandma’s name. Murphy, because he’s the dad. And Brown, because I’m the mum!"

The 31-year-old singer had a brief relationship with Dreamgirls star Eddie last year.

He dumped her in December and cast doubt on the baby’s paternity.

But Mel showed off Angel in this week’s OK! magazine and said: "I look at the baby and she has his big smile and dimples.

"She’s gorgeous. She has taken the best bits of both of us."

And she added: "He will always be a part of my life. I will always love him. I couldn’t hate Eddie. We had a dream life."

Mel ’registers Eddie as father’ - April 10 2007
Mel B has reportedly named Eddie Murphy as the father of her new baby girl on her birth certificate.

The former Spice Girl is adamant that the comedy star fathered the newborn child - and will soon have a DNA test to prove it, says Closer magazine.

Despite registering him as the father, the 31-year-old has said she wants nothing to do with the Beverly Hills Cop actor.

A friend said: "Mel is in no doubt that Eddie’s the father and she wanted to make a point by having his name on the birth certificate.

"But she doesn’t want him involved in the baby’s life because he has hurt her too much. She just feels that he will have to accept responsibility for the child at some point and that there was no need for him to be so dismissive of their relationship.

"Even when the tests prove he’s the father Mel still won’t have anything to do with him."
