Former Spice Girl, Melanie Brown, had a baby girl earlier this morning. Reports say both mother and baby are in good health and good spirits.

The baby, known for now simply as "Baby Brown," has a full head of hair according to a representative for Brown. The baby's name is expected to be bestowed later today.

The little bundle of joy arrived just after midnight after Brown was taken to Saint John's Hospital in Santa Monica. Weighing in at 5lb. 4 oz, the teeny new addition to the family joins Brown and her 8 year old daughter, Phoeniz Chi, Brown's daughter with her ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar.

There is some question about the paternity of the new baby, as seems to be the norm in Hollywood these days, and Brown claims that ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy is the father.

Murphy, who celebrates his 46th birthday today, questions the claim that he fathered the baby girl who shares his birthdate, "I don't know whose child that is until it comes out and has a blood test," he said in an interview in December.
