Comedian Mike Epps isn't just a sidekick anymore. He's finally starring in his own drama -- a paternity suit!
The married actor who has appeared in movies such as "Next Friday" and "Resident Evil: Extinction," is being named as the baby daddy to a Georgia woman who gave birth in December 2007.
Randy Kessler, the woman's lawyer, says Epps has refused to submit to a paternity test or provide any support for the child, saying, "We are not asking for the moon, we are just asking him to take a paternity test. Once the tests are completed and paternity is confirmed, hopefully, Mr. Epps will do the right thing and begin to provide for his child."
Kessler says he and his client initially wanted to work things out privately, but those efforts have been ignored by Epps and his camp. The paternity suit was filed in early February, and since then, Kessler says he has sent five letters and made a number of phone calls to Epps' lawyers -- and all he got back was silence.
Calls to Mike Epps' rep have not been returned.

If you can't keep it zipped up, then expect to take some responsibility.
Love you Mike, you are one of the funniest human beings on the planet! My favorite mike Epps character, the pimp who uses baby powder to bitch slap his hoes..
do the right thing Mike
I wonder if he thinks the situation will just go away if he ignores it. He better hop on it before the arears get out of control. Now that wifey knows (someone she knows reads TMZ) maybe it will get taken care of.
MAYBE IF MIKE EPPS WAS NOT SUCH AN ALCOHOLIC, HE COULD POSSIBLY REMEMBER THE WOMEN HE HAS SLEPT WITH.. I BELIEVE HE IS THE FATHER! STEP UP BE A MAN AND BE A FATHER MIKE!
Mike....
Mike.........
My $%##&@, you got knocked the &%$@!% out!!! Now do the right thing and take care of your baby and you baby momma.
I think we can all agree that not one of us is perfect! What's degrading to both the celebrity and those associated are the choices they make. How wonderful it would be for them to consider the power of impact and image during their journey in success. They have choices, particularly the married ones. Bring back the Morality Clauses, stif penalities and Contract Revocations.... hee hee (Call me old school, but it worked and the youth was measurably protected)
Who cares besides the mother? I want to be entertained, not get in their personal lives! He's a funny guy, damn!

and this wouldn't happen either if women kept their legs closed....
Fernando - It take two dear! Just because a woman might have her legs uncrossed does not mean it is time to drop the pants! Not unless you are ready to take some responsibility if she becomes pregnant.
How many kids do he really have? I heard it was six girls. He aint no man, it takes a real man to produce a boy!
He was probably misinformed and thinks the welfare system
will pay for this child.
