EDDIE MURPHY AGREES TO CHILD SUPPORT

Hollywood star Eddie Murphy has agreed to pay $51,000 a month in child support to his former lover, former Spice Girl singer Melanie Brown. The singer hit the tabloid headlines in 2006 after embarking on a short fling with the actor and ended up getting pregnant with his child. Murphy started a battle with Brown following their break-up when he suggested it was possible he wasn't the father of the baby. He subsequently took a DNA test that determined daughter Angel Iris was his. British tabloid the News of the World has revealed that Murphy has agreed to a support package totaling more than $10 million, following a 15-month court battle in Los Angeles California.
