47. BeFromEurope - Do they teach ya'll how to spell over there? Didn't like the Spice Girls first time around, like Victoria Beckham even LESS, now that she came over here with her pouty lemon-sucker snout, and DO NOT LIKE Scary anymore for trashing my man Eddie as being irresponsible and loose, when all along she was throwing stones in her own glass house..........she should be ashamed, and I hope the spice geeks go broke......I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want......

48. I smell a set up. Hey Scary, do us all a favor and go away. No one really cares about your talentless ass. You somehow got yourself preggers by Eddie Murphy and now you claim he wanted it. Yeah right. You did. HELLO your clock is ticking. At least he has the class to keep it all out of the papers unlike you. Go one with our so called life. Take care of your kids and GO AWAY. You will be divorce with a year........

49. That's it Mel - throw all caution to the wind - it will work out fine, just like the last couple of times.

I seem to have made you furious. Sorry about that.

You have the right to your opinion of course. The only thing I wonder is how you can call me TRASH. You have never met me.
I am also surprised how you can call me trash when you yourself use a very cheap and uneducated language. English is not my mothertongue so if I have a funny english it is understandable but you if I am not misstaken speak english as you first language. I have visited the USA a number of times and always found that american english is just as beautyful a the british version of it so why trashing a great language the way you do?
I am no trash such as much as you most likely are not eather. So if you are mad at me that is fine, just try to be it with some more style please.

52. Well, SISTA :-o)

Year, they tried to teach me to spell correctly in your language BUT since I do not have the time to sit on a dictionary I do not care as long as you get what I want to say.

Oh and SISTA how many languages do you speak? I can handle 3 ...hmmm wait 5 if I count norwegian and danish that I can at least read and understand...make it 6 if I count that I can get some islandic ...hmmm do you think we can count some exotic dialects such as austrian and swizz german (do I spell that right?), then we are up to 8.
Okaj SISTER, your turn, du bist drann, din tur.

You are welcome to answer me in all those languages mentioned including swedish and german.

53. Excuse me, but I'm confused. She said the wedding was not secret they just "value their privacy"!! Maybe Mr. Belafonte values their privacy but I find it hard to believe that Mel does. HELLO!! For the past couple of months she has given interviews and hired a publicity-whore high-powered attorney to drag Eddie Murphy's name through the mud.
She has made a beloved actor/comedian look like a deadbeat dad and a cad for leaving her when she was preggers w/this kid! She even had me believing Eddie was wrong for what he did, then I find out she was dating this man(Belafonte) while she was pregnant!Obviously, she wasn't THAT heartbroken, she seemed to have gotten over Eddie pretty quick! This could be the reason that Eddie made that infamous comment on that tv show. As the norm in this generation, Eddie had every right to doubt the paternity of this child, just watch the Maury Povich show. Although he went on to date someone else and even fall in love, he did the right thing by getting a DNA test and finally proclaiming that he's a father once again. The guy just got divorced from his wife of 10 years that he shares 5 kids with. He's probably still working out the child support, alimony and custody issues. I'm sure he will take good care of this child as he does his others. Mel is just bitter that her "plan" backfired. Really, how can you tell a man you're pregnant with his child and months later, while still pregnant, start dating another man you've known for years? Do you really think her pregnancy was mutually planned? I don't feel sorry for Mel, she had this Belafonte guy as a friend/support system while she was preggers and someone to share her life with as a family. SHE's the one that got married in a rush and kept it a secret until the DNA test results came back! Not many single moms are that lucky, especially finding someone while u are preggers! She wants to say that all she ever wanted was for Eddie to acknowledge her child but just as soon as she found out it REALLY is his, now she wants support! It makes one wonder what was her motivation the whole time.$$$$$$$$$$$$

54. As I read these blogs, this story gets shadier and shadier. I agree that Mel and this Belafonte guy probably planned this whole scam. As for being wealthy herself, then why can't she be a better person and tell Eddie she doesn't need his money being that she can support her child on her own. I doubt if that thought ever crossed her gold-digging mind. What does this Belafonte guy do for a living? Come on, when Belafonte was dating her while she was pregnant and saw how she was being "disrespected" by Eddie, why didn't he tell her to just drop it and step up to the plate and say that he would be Iris' father, if he loved her so much? I can't imagine why this guy was sitting back and not doing a damn thing. Maybe he was waiting for the big payday like she was. And what's the deal with her dragging Nicole into this mess? I don't believe for one second that meeting was about them getting to know one another, as their children are siblings.(Maybe they are thinking about doing a reality tv show "The Baby Mamas Club"). I wonder what Nicole's thinking now that this little cat is out of the bag? Seems like to me Eddie aint the only one that's getting played. If I were Eddie, I would call her bluff on being in Iris' life, by first questioning Mel's new husband's shady past and his intentions. It's just as well that Eddie doesn't stoop to that level, it would only garner her more of the attention she craves. Funny, she wants Eddie to pay her child support, yet, she had to pay her first babby daddy alimony! Well, I guess we'll see how much Belafonte will get in a year or two. ;)
p.s.
USA and Europe, let's just stick to the topic at hand. Arguing back and forth is not cool.

55. Hey guys I was secretly married last week too.....where was TMZ?

56. I'm happy for her. But she needs to get a grip. Last year she loved Eddie. This year, it's this guy. She should stay single for a while.

57. I am confused........now Mel B. wants privacy. So much for true love, what a joke. If I were her, I would beware, maybe her new husband has Eddie's $$ on his mind.

58. His real me is Stephan Stansbury from Point Pleasant NJ. I went to school with him and he is a total con that you NEVER want to be alone with. He used to kill animals and rob anyone he could. He is just after the money. Go to JanetCharlton.com and perezhilton.com and see what others are saying.

59. WAY TO GO MEL. I WISH YOU AND STEPHEN ALL THE HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD. NOW EDDIE CAN GO ON WITH HIS FLAVORED ARM CANDY OF THE TIME BEING. I HOPE STEPHEN CAN REALLY BE A DAD TO YOUR BABY GIRL.

60. Jesse, could you elaborate on the killing and stealing? Did you really go to school with this fool? Seriously, I'm interested in knowing more and I'm sure some of the others would like to know more as well.
