However, the pair have drawn up a star-studded guest list, which includes Whitney Houston and British actor Max Beesley, for their wedding party. A source told the’s Daily Star newspaper: "Mel just wants her and Eddie’ s close family to be there for the simple blessing. "But they will be inviting their friends to a lavish wedding breakfast reception at the venue afterwards."
Both Mel and the ’Shrek’ star have been married before. Murphy divorced his wife Nicole Mitchell Murphy - who he has five children with - in May after 12 years of marriage. Mel - better known as Scary Spice during her time in the Spice Girls - married dancer Jimmy Gulzar in 1998 but the couple got divorced three years later. They have a seven-year-old daughter Phoenix-Chi.
Mel to Marry Murphy - July 17 2006
Ex Spice Girl Mel B is to marry comic actor Eddie Murphy according to the woman herself. Big mouth Mel reportedly let slip on a transatlantic flight that she was to tie the knot with Eddie this September only days after their relationship was revealed by the tabloids. Apparently the smitten duo are already sporting matching tattoos of each others names and Mel has repeatedly declared her love, telling friends that the Beverly Hills Cop star could be ’The One’. Well, it’s certainly a step up from Jimmy whatever his name was.

Mel moved to London in an attempt to break into the entertainment business. She answered an advert in entertainment publication The Stage, went to the audition and was selected because of her voice and good looks to be part of the Spice Girls who as we all know, went on to dominate the charts all over the world. Her up-front attitude and in-your-face style has won her a huge gay following.
Now more famous for her boob job (removed after leakage) and pierced tongue (removed when the hole got too big) than her musical talents, Mel’s post-Spice Girls career is in freefall and she’s now desperate to become a TV presenter before it splats. A former Spectacle Wearer of the Year who bites her toenails and detests all forms of salad, Mel says her ideal man would be ’zany’. Let’s hope she chooses more wisely than ex-husband Jimmy ’Gold Card’ Gulzar, her former backing singer who is said to have tearfully serenaded a close male friend with I Will Always Love You at their wedding. She is however the proud mother of baby daughter Phoenix Chi.
Mel B has boughgt her mum a home in Headingley, and to be even closer to her roots, Mel is considering buying herself a home in Alwoodley.
