'SPICE GIRL' MEL B GOING AFTER EDDIE MURPHY

Mel B is hiring a lawyer to prove Eddie Murphy is the father of her unborn baby.The former Spice Girl - better known as Scary Spice - has lived up to her nickname by vowing to get revenge on Eddie for demanding a paternity test. A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Mel told me she is determined to take Eddie to the cleaners. He is going to get a shock if he thinks I'm taking this kind of treatment lying down."She is raging with anger and wants to take revenge on him for the way he is treating her. She met up with lawyers yesterday."Mel said the other day "I am obviously distressed at the comments made by Eddie Murphy in the media. I have no idea why anybody would conduct themselves about such a personal matter in such a public way."My main concern is for the well being of my daughter Phoenix and of course my baby. I was astonished at what Eddie said - there is no question he is the father."Mel, 31, only found out Eddie, 45, had dumped her after being told by friends. She was on a trans atlantic flight when Eddie told the world their relationship was over and was told the news by worried friends on landing. Eddie was asked about his relationship with Mel on Dutch TV show 'RTL Boulevard' earlier this week. He angrily replied: "You're being presumptuous, because we're not together anymore. And I don't know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn't jump to conclusions, sir."
