Melanie Brown has had some stress during her pregnancy – she says Eddie Murphy is the baby’s father; he has demanded a blood test – but she put her worries aside on Friday to celebrate her impending arrival.

Scary Spice, 31, who is due in about a month, held a festive baby shower at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Friday.

Brown began her day in a bungalow at the hotel, getting ready with some female friends, but when it was time to toast, the mom-to-be met up with more than 30 guests in a private room by the tennis courts.

According to a source, the shower featured a cake in the shape of a woman’s pregnant belly clad in an animal-print loin cloth. Guests were also treated to plenty of Dom Pérignon champagne.
