Mike Epps Wanted Pryor Role

Comedian Mike Epps feels shafted. He said he was supposed to play Richard Pryor in the biopic about him but Eddie Murphy swooped in and got the role.

In a recent interview with Jawn Murray, when asked about Eddie portraying Richard Pryor in the upcoming biopic, Mike replied, “No disrespect, but I sat with Richard Pryor for an entire year, and he hand-picked me to play that role.” Will he end up getting the gig? “I believe that Richard’s spirit will determine that.” Source

Eh, I don’t see it. I don’t think he’s that great of an actor or even that funny. I watched his tv special with a stone face. Didn’t even crack a smile.

Eddie to Portray Pryor in New Biopic

Comedian/actor/‘singer’ Eddie Murphy is slated to play his hero, Richard Pryor, in a new biopic. He’ll play the legendary comedian in “Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said?” which will follow Pryor’s career as he battled drugs and alcohol, as well as his struggle with multiple sclerosis. Source
Eddie has been impersonating Richard for years, and even though he doesn’t look like him I think he’ll do a kick ass job in this role.

Eddie Pays Big in Child Support Decision

Eddie Murphy has aged to pay $51K a month in child support to Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown for the love child they had, Baby Angel.
The support package totals over $10 million. Source
I did the math and that basically means he’ll pay that out over the next 16 or 17 years, or basically until she’s 18. Now if we could just get him to actually visit her.

Eddie Refuses to see His Daughter

Eddie Murphy is a dead beat dad to his child with singer Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown. And he doesn’t seem to concerned about it. He hasn’t seen his daughter, Angel ever. And she’s almost two.
“To see the kid, he’d have to see the mother,” said a friend. Maybe when she’s older, Eddie will see Angel, but not now.”
Mel says, “I want Angel to know she has two parents who love her so much,” but the insider scoffs, “Mel’s a crazy woman. Eddie wants to stay far away from her.” Source
Taking care of your kids is a lot more than just signing a check. Pick her up, take her to the park, give her a hug and a kiss erry once in a while damn it.

Eddie and Johnny Party it Up

Eddie Murphey and his tangy counterpart, Johnny Gill, have been twirling it out in Eddie’s Beverly Hills mansion. According to a source,
“Eddie has taken the after-hours party up a notch since he’s been single. Murphy and Johnny Gil [who lives in the sprawling manse's guesthouse] have been holding bowling tournaments in the house’s bowling alley almost every weekend. He even hired DJ Ruckus to spin one party.” Guests have included Busta Rhymes, Bobby Brown and Dallas Austin. “When Bobby was there, they messed with him and kept playing songs by [Brown's ex] Whitney Houston.” Source
1. We know good and well that Johnny does NOT sleep in the guesthouse. He sleeps in the loving arms of boo.
2. For someone who wants everyone to thing he’s straight, throwing parties where you’re handling balls every weekend does seem a littlte suspect.
3. I can’t get “Party All the Time” out of my head now. It’s on constant loop! And because of that…I must torture you all with it.

Eddie's Not Retiring Just Yet

Eddie Murphy is speaking out against rumors that he is retiring from the acting biz. His spokes person said: "Eddie is not retiring. 'Beverly Hills Cop IV' is in development."
Eddie added, "The third 'Beverly Hills Cop' was horrible! I didn't want to leave it like that. The first two were cool and the third one was s****y. Let's get the franchise fixed again, clean up this old mess and do a good movie. Don't just leave Axel with his thumb up his a*s from the last movie. Whatever happened to Axel Foley? He's sitting in Detroit with his thumb uphis a*s since 'Beverly Hills Cop III.' Let's take those thumbs out and make a great movie!"
Eddie’s famous for his role in the franchise. He said "When I go overseas they still call me Axel Foley - kids call me Axel Foley. I think that character, it resonated like no other movie, like nothing that I've done before." Source

Eddie doesn’t seem to understand that picking up trannies and referring to sticking ANYTHING up ANYONE’s ass is no way to get people to stop calling you gay. Sighs…

Eddie's Got A New Farce

Eddie Murphy has got a new girlfriend. And by girlfriend I mean like “Hey girlfriend!” not like he actually makes sexo sexo with her.
Since March, Eddie’s been secretly dating gorgeous waitress Lara LaRue, the sister of CSI: Miami star Eva LaRue. Lara works at Sushiya on Sunset Boulevard in LA, and according to Eddie’s pal, “He is already telling his friends that he is in love.” Lara, a sometime-model and a ringer for Eddie’s ex-wife Nicole Murphy, admitted: “I know Eddie. He’s an amazing guy. I respect him and he respects me.” An insider reveals that Lara and Eddie met while bowling and have been keeping the relationship quiet. Eddie and Lara share the same April 3 birthday — but Eddie is 47 and Lara is 25. A pal says, “He’s been sending Lara huge floral arrangements practically every day and is talking about moving in together.” Source Is it me or does this LaRue chick look JUST like Eddie’s ex…well, a younger version that is.
Anywho, Eddie better not try to marry this one either. Johnny will have a GOT damn fit. Always the bridesmaid…never the bride.

No Father of the Year Awards for Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy hasn’t seen his daughter with Scary Spice and says that he won’t until she’s old enough to meet up with him without interference from Mel B. He says he was tricked into getting her pregnant cus she told him she was on birth control.
The Nutty Professor star claimed 32-year-old Mel insisted she was on birth control, and revealed they only had sex three times, according to a US report. “What was supposed to be a casual relationship ended with her having his baby and taking him to court for millions,” a source told The National Enquirer. Source
What a selfish asstool. First and foremost I know a few women that have gotten pregnant while on birth control. I could see if she drugged him and stole his love juice or poked holes in a condom but give me a break. Second of all, if shit was as casual as he says it was then where was the condom to begin with. Birth Control be damned! What about STDs?! Thirdly, and most important I think, why punish little Angle Iris? She doesn’t deserve this foolishness. I hope he’s willing to shell out money for a therapist to help her get over her feelings of being unwanted by her father. Jerkoff!

Get Your Hands Outta His Purse!

In addition to constant bickering directly following the wedding, another reason for the split between Tracy and Eddie is a prenup. Apparently she refused to sign one.
DUMB, DUMB, DUMB! This silly broad obviously doesn’t learn from the mistakes of others. She started dating Eddie when his ex girl was still pregnant. He denied that baby til he couldn’t deny her anymore and I'm almost positive he has yet to come up off of any money for her. Did Tracy really think that he was going to let her marry him, divorce him, then step away with all his cash. Hell to the no! That money is reserved for his one and only true love (wink) . Alls I gots to say is My, My, My.

It's Splitsville for Eddie and Tracy

Ha! So after being “married” (their ceremony in Bora Bora wasn’t legal any damn way) Eddie Murphy and Tracy Edmonds have called it quits. That’s right! Their dunzo. Eddie’s rep released a statement:
“After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will fore go having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further. While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends.” TMZ
Uh huh, hmm, muy interesante, no? I mean the feelings he says they have for each other are the same exact feelings I have for my friend Jon-Boy…Did I mention that Jon-Boy is gay? Yea, exactly. I bet Johnny Gill is somewhere right now shaving his legs and oiling up so he can race to Eddie’s side to “console” him.

Eddie and Tracey Get Hitched

They actually did it! Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds tied the knot yesterday in an island wedding. They were hitched New Years Day on a small island off the coast of Bora Bora. Source
Johnny Gill stood up as Eddie’s best man. Ah, always the bridesmaid and never the bride. So sad. My condolences go out to you Johnny.

Why?!?!?!

Murphy will soon be launching a record label named Murphy Entertainment. Who’s gonna be his cash cow? None other than Superhead! Er, I mean Karrine Steffans. Sometimes I forget the hoe don’t like bein’ called Superhead no mo. Anywho, Lo has a few questions for him.
1. Was it the monster hits Party All the Time and Whatzupwitu that pulled you back into the music industry?
2. Will you now work to jump start your boyfriend’s, er, I mean butt buddy’s, er, I mean, good pal Johnny Gill’s music career?
3. How will you promote Superhea….er, Karrine as a music artist. I suggest you call her a quadruple threat. She sucks! She blows! She swallows! She sings!!!

Y'all remember the claymation comedy “The PJs” that was created by Eddie Murphy(he also voiced the main character)? Well it's coming back. A cable station called TV One has bought the rights to he show and will be gin airing episodes soon. I hope Eddie got a nice fat check for it. Lord knows he needs it wit' all dem chilluns he's raisin.

Anywho, TV One also obtained rights to other black television shows and movies like Day Break (Taye Diggs, ABC-2006), Where I Live (Doug E. Doug, ABC-1993), Glory Road, Tsosi, Shoot to Kill, Crimson Tide, Down in the Delta, Sister Ac 2, Bringing Down the House, The Distinguished Gentleman, and A Low Down Dirt Shame.
Call your cable providers to see if you can get TV One cus it sounds like great programming to me. I’d take this over BET or CW ANY day.
