Eddie has 5 children with ex-Nicole and 3 children with 3 other women. The 3 other women also had to take to Eddie to court to do right by his children.

As for Tracey Edmonds, she’s told Jet Magazine that Eddie and Mel where only together for 6 weeks and the relationship wasn’t the serious. Six days, weeks, months, or years; a child is serious. Eddie needs to speak up for himself. This is between Eddie and Mel. If the relationship wasn’t that serious why where there pics of Eddie’s 5 kids with Nicole and Mel’s daughter Phoenix Chi all on vacation?

Publicity stunt or not, I applaud Mel and Nicole for sticking together as mothers.
Eddie hasn’t made an effort to even see his new daughter. That says alot about his character right there.

So what if they met at the Ivy? Yes, it was very public and I imagine that it was meant to be. Eddie hasn’t introduced himself to his daughter so I imagine that he hasn’t made the effort to introduce his children to each other. He needs to know that this child is in his life for good and that she will be in his other children’s lives for good.

Bella’s dress is from a UK clothing shop called Monsoon. My little girl has the same dress. It is from summer 2007, but I am sure you can find it on Ebay. Could be that the dress was a gift from Mel, as you can only get it here.
Same with the shoes I believe.

I applaud what both women are doing and lets face it, during his marriage to Nicole, Eddie wasn’t a saint…remember the transvestite story? Anyways, he has proven through this whole ordeal what a louse he is!
He doesn’t even have the decency to try and do the right thing even through Melanie’s pregancy! I think honestly, it was this arrogant attitude that cost him the academy award and Hollywood’s respect. If he didn’t want a child there are steps that a man can do to prevent that! Also, if he can give loads of money to various charities, then for God’s sake he can afford to take care of his daughter. I pray that he has a change of heart, how is this poor baby going to feel when she is old enough to read all of this stuff! Does Tracey Edmonds know what she’s getting herself into…!

My thoughts:
1) I don’t believe the child was planned. In the aftermath of Mel’s announcement that she was pregnant, Eddie (who is notoriously press shy) made a statement that the child was not his. There was too much anger and rancour in his demeanor for me to believe this was a case of a man who simply decided at the last minute he didn’t want a kid he had helped plan for. And the swiftness of their break-up after the announcement of the pregnancy just makes me believe this was not the mutual decision she makes it out to be.

2)She got her paternity test, the kid is his. I get the impression, regardless of what she or bull-dog Allred says, that Eddie takes care of his kids. Eddie himself has even said he’ll pay child support. The real question is, how much money is she asking for? There is reasonable child support for a kid of a man with Eddie’s money and then there is “I’m gonna gouge you money.” If she’s trying to get Nicole money for a four month relationship all I have to say is “please.”

3)The Ivy meeting is a publicity stunt, pure and simple. And it is a pathetic one at that. I am all for this woman getting her due. I am all for the two exes getting the kids together and letting them know each other and grow up together. But this…this just made Mel’s stock with me take a huge tumble. I hate people who make public gestures like this for no good reason. And I hate people using their kids to do it. I think some people will absolutely get a high kick out of these two fab women showing off their pretty-pretty offspring. But for some people, Eddie just got a bit more sympathetic.

Devon: You implyed that Tracey Edmonds is an opportunist and Melanie Brown isn’t. How did you make that distinction?

Devon: Point blank, Scary does not have as much money as Eddie. She’s got two albums and a Scary Spice doll as part of her career. Whop dee doo. Eddie’s net worth is much more. He was making big money when she was still a school girl. Besides, are you aware how much money it takes to maintain a star’s scale of living?

Furthermore, why after “ONLY” four months of dating (not engaged or married) and not knowing Eddie and his ways well would someone confess to have a planned pregnancy with him? You all are so busy calling him a monster now. Why didn’t you alert her to this then?

And for the rest of you, I never said Eddie was right for having a child with Melanie either while not knowing her as well. But what I AM SAYING is that they both made poor decisions point blank. And rag on Tracey Edmonds all you like, but at least she didn’t turn up pregnant after 4 months of dating for gold digger’s rights. Why else would a woman use press conferences to malign her child’s father. What happened to decency and privacy for the child? Years from now when the child gets older she’ll have to see these tv clips when it all could have been handled privately. Say what you, but every pregnancy isn’t the immaculate conception you’d like it to be.

I finally got my answer on when Angel would meet her other siblings. One down, half a dozen more to go on her dad’s side, lol. But I just think that, despite where it happened, Mel and Nicole met up and that Bella was there to see her new baby sister. I’m just glad that they had such a civil meeting. I think it’s great.

Both Bella and Angel look adorable in their outfits. Moms don’t look too shabby themselves, but wow, Mel is just McBoobs, period.

“grayson’s girl, who said there was even any cattiness to begin with? let’s drop the patriarchal stereotypes about women. nicole and melanie seem to be two good women, and good on them for introducing the kids to each other.”

sinclair, I meant in general, not this specific situation. I never implied there was any cattiness between these women prior to their meeting. “Patriarchal stereotype” or not, on the whole, when these things occur, more often than not, women find themselves pitted against each other for one nonsensical reason or another. Especially when it involves the same man. My original comment was appreciation of the fact that Nicole and Melanie chose to join forces instead of bringing the claws out for each other. Women tend to be the harshest judges of other women and it’s refreshing to see a departure from that.

Leila, I think Mel has a bit more than a few million dollars…and she’s going to be having more than a few thrown at her for the Spice Girls reunion tour.

She is NOT in, any which way you want to put it, need of Eddie’s money.
