Former Spice Girl and Dancing With the Stars hopeful Melanie Brown, 33, is about to have some serious cash coming her way. A court has ordered her ex, Eddie Murphy, to pay $51,000 a month in child support, according to the UK Daily Mail. Mind you, the checks are technically intended for her daughter, but diapers aren't that expensive, are they?

Even though he repeatedly tried to deny it, Eddie, 47, definitely fathered 22-month-old Iris Angel and now he's obligated to finance her needs until she turns 18. Do the math and you'll find the total figure to be somewhere in the ballpark of $10 million. Melanie also has a nine-year-old daughter Phoenix Chi from her first marriage to Jimmy Gulzar.

Guys beware that Spice Girl is a golddigger hoe, all this birth control out here so she planned on getting pregnant for money with Eddie. Don’t worry want goes around comes around; somebody is going to use her for money! Guys need to think with their first head that anything too easy is a golddigging hoe like Spice Girl and if they can’t do the right thing then they need to use a condom because of golddigging hoes!
