Melanie Brown Has a Girl

. "The baby is completely healthy with a good head of hair," a rep for Brown said in a statement.

"Mother and baby are now resting. No name has been decided on as yet and she is purely known as Baby Brown."

The baby girl, who is still unnamed, weighed in at approximately 5 pounds, 6 ounces, and 18 inches long.

"It was an easy birth,�? a source close to Brown tells Usmagazine.com. “The baby’s light-skinned and beautiful. Mel is thrilled!"

Brown, 31, went into the hospital Monday afternoon and was surrounded by her mother, 8-year-old daughter Phoenix Chi, and close friends.

The name of the baby's father has not been added to birth certificate. Brown claims ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy is the father, a claim which the comedian denies.

During an interview on Dutch TV show 'RTL Boulevard', which aired Monday (04.12.06), Eddie was asked about his
relationship with Mel.

He angrily replied: "You're being presumptuous, because we're not together
anymore. 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."

Brown later released a statement saying she was "upset and distressed" by Murphy's comments reports PEOPLE.

In March, Murphy's new girlfriend, Tracey Edmonds, told Chicago's Power 92 radio station of Murphy and Brown: "Without me getting too deep into it, they had a quick relationship before I even got into that, before I got into a relationship with Eddie. So that's like their business that's going on. There'll be a paternity test and if it's his then he'll be responsible."

According to the source, Brown did not tell Murphy about the birth. “Mel said, ‘He can read about it.’�?

Mel - has a seven-year-old daughter Phoenix-Chi with her ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar.
