When I said that Eddie Murphy was a deadbeat father, I was under the impression that he was going to pay child support. Not so. It turns out that not only has he legally accepted that he is the dad (despite the paternity test), he is not paying a penny to Melanie Brown. To force him to pay, she has gone to court. Maybe Eddie Murphy does not have any money left after that expensive engagement ring he bought for his soon-to-be new bride Tracey Edmonds.
