BROWN CONFIRMS MURPHY ON BIRTH CERTIFICATE

LATEST: Former SPICE GIRL MELANIE BROWN has confirmed reports she has put ex-boyfriend EDDIE MURPHY's name as the father on her newborn daughter's birth certificate, but denies she has already named the tot.

The singer, formerly known as Scary Spice, gave birth to an as-yet-unnamed baby girl at St Johns Hospital in Santa Monica, California, on 3 April (07).

Brown and Murphy ended their six month relationship in November (06) and the Oscar nominated actor started dating TV producer Tracey Edmonds - ex-wife of R+B singer/producer Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds - immediately after.

In November - a month after Brown announced her pregnancy news - the Dreamgirls actor publicly dismissed her claims of paternity on Dutch TV show RTL Boulevard, saying, "I don't know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test."

Brown's publicist Nadine Bibi confirmed reports last week (ends13Apr07) that the singer had listed Murphy as the father of her youngest child, but denied the tot was named Fortuna Daphne Bay.

Bibi says, "Yes, he is listed as father."

When asked for comment, Murphy's publicist Arnold Robinson replies, "We do not comment on Mr Murphy's personal life."
