Scary Spice Names Baby After Fictional TV Newswoman

After much inner deliberation, former Spice Girl Melanie Brown has finally come up with a name for the baby she swears is the result of an affair she had with once-funny, Oscar-deprived actor Eddie Murphy, who denies everything and is demanding a DNA test. "Angel, as she was my little angel through my pregnancy," Scary Spice said in a statement. "Iris, as it's my grandma's name. Murphy, because he's the dad. And Brown, because I'm the mum!" Which together makes Angel Iris Murphy Brown. Murphy Brown, you'll remember, was the titular sitcom character played by Candice Bergen, who was criticized in 1992 by then-Vice President Dan Quayle for "mocking the importance of fathers, by bearing a child alone, and calling it just another 'life-style choice.'
