Spice’s Little Eddie:
In spite of Eddie Murphy’s apparent unwillingness to accept paternity, Mel B named her baby girl Angel Iris Murphy Brown. “Angel, as she was my little angel through my pregnancy. Iris, as it’s my grandma’s name, Murphy, because he’s the dad and Brown, because I’m the mum!” the former Spice Girl explained in a statement. The baby was born April 3 in Santa Monica, California. Hey, the baby looks like Eddie and has a Cheshire Cat grin.


Chevy Unforgiving
Chevy Chase claimed he was beaten and psychologically abused by his mother and stepfather throughout his childhood in the new authorized biography I’m Chevy Chase...And You’re Not, according to the New York Post. “I knew I was a ‘bad boy,’ but I didn’t know that everybody wasn’t punished in the same way I was,” the Fletch star recalls in the memoir. Both parents are now dead, but Chase tells writer Rena Fruchter he is still unable to forgive them. “You would think a grown man could shake it off, as the coffin was lowered, to say, ‘I forgive you.’ I don’t forgive.” What a crybaby! Come on Chevy, don’t be a jerk. They’re dead. Forgive them!


Blameless But Still Mad as A Hatter
Kim Basinger denied that she leaked her ex’s Alec Baldwin’s angry voicemail to their daughter, Ireland, in which he called the 11-year-old a “rude, thoughtless little pig,” but confirmed that she had hired extra security to protect the child during this time of added scrutiny. The actress stated that she was hopeful her ex-husband would “finally address his unstable and irrational behavior so he, at some point, can potentially create a relationship with his daughter.” What about Kim’s irrational behavior. They’re both crazy.


Yo, Rocky Needs His Hormones
Sylvester Stallone provided medical documents to Australian customs after being charged with importing 48 vials of banned human growth hormone, his attorney told a Sydney court on Tuesday. The contents of the documents were not revealed and Stallone, who has not yet entered a plea, did not attend the hearing. If convicted, he could face a maximum fine of $91,000.


Pirated Spidey 3 Hits Beijing Streets
What’s a movie industry have to do to prevent international piracy? Chinese movie pirates are already selling DVD copies of Spiderman 3 on the streets of Beijing, almost two weeks ahead of the film’s U.S. premiere. Meanwhile, online ticket sellers reported that U.S. moviegoers are buying tickets at three times the rate they did ahead of Spiderman 2. The film opens stateside on May 4. Those commie bastards are sure into capitalism big time.


YouTube Avoids Another Lawsuit
Activist groups dropped a federal lawsuit against Viacom Monday after the company acknowledged it made a mistake in demanding that YouTube remove a parody of The Colbert Report. The clip in question contained footage from the Comedy Central show, but the groups successfully argued their use was protected under “fair use” provisions of copyright law.


No More Offensive Rap? Right!
Rap mogul, Russell Simmons called for the N-word along with “bitch” and “ho” to be banned from all so-called clean versions of rap songs and the airwaves. The words are currently edited out of most clean versions of songs, but there is no uniform standard for the deletion process, Simmons said.


Don’t Scream, yell Doh!
Universal Studios will launch Simpsons-themed rides at its theme parks in Orlando and Hollywood next spring, incorporating Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, along with other characters into the experience. “The ride is designed to duplicate the Simpsons home-viewing experience, only at high speed and with lots of screaming,”
