A home DNA test kit that we’ve known about for months will soon be putting Maury Povich out of the paternity testing business. A company called IdentiGene will be selling a DNA test kit in select stores to determine if a child is indeed your biological child. My favorite is the Paternity test, that allows a man to collect his DNA and a child’s DNA without the need for mommy’s DNA, and learn if he really is a daddy in only 3 days for only $249. Hopefully the availability of these tests will make some women think twice before knowingly naming the wrong daddy. Chris Rock is one of those, along with many other rich celebrity men, who have already gone through this hell.

The kit is available at Rite Aid, and online here.

Tracey Edmonds is shooting down rumors that she and Eddie Murphy and have split up, saying the couple are actually "very happy." Rumors surfaced this week that the couple had broken up due to the stress of the paternity case between Murphy and his former girlfriend, Spice Girl Melanie Brown. "I did hear about the false rumor. That is absolutely not true," Edmonds, a film producer who started dating Murphy last fall said.

On June 22, a rep for Brown announced that DNA tests proved Murphy is the father of Brown’s 2-month-old daughter, Angel Iris. Murphy’s rep declined to comment on the test results. However, Edmonds, whose divorce from singer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds was finalized in June, said that “the paternity test had no impact on our relationship.”

In fact, Edmonds said she and Murphy are going on an Italian vacation for the Fourth of July holiday, if anyone really cares.

A DNA test was taken by Eddie Murphy to determine whether or not he fathered Melanie Brown aka Scary Spice’s child. The 32 year old singer dated Murphy last year and insisted that the actor is the child’s father. Brown gave birth to daughter, Angel Iris Murphy Brown on April 3 and allegedly named the 46 year old as the child’s father on the birth certificate, which later turned out to be false.

Murphy’s spokesman, Arnold Robinson made no statement on Brown’s claims but said; he would not confirm the paternity tests. "We do not comment on Mr. Murphy’s personal life." Last December a television reporter questioned Murphy on his being a soon-to-be-father and his reply, "And I don’t know whose child that is until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn’t jump to conclusions, sir."

If the child is his, a sixth kid is added to the Murphy bunch, as he already has five with ex wife Nicole Mitchell Murphy.

Poor Tracey to be caught in the middle of all this baby-mama drama mess.
