Two of a Kind

If you discovered your ex was dating someone who looked like they could be your twin would you A.) Be complimented B.) Be Insulted or C.) Be completely freaked out? Well, you have to wonder how Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife/fiancée/girlfriend (whatever she was before they split following their vow exchange in Bora Bora on New Year’s Day, which turned out to be legally non-binding) Tracey Edmonds is feeling now that the actor is dating her reflection. Okay, maybe they don’t look exactly alike, but some say Lara LaRue is a dead ringer for Edmonds and Murphy couldn’t be happier. If you … Continue reading

The Lowdown on Hollywood’s Latest Hook-Ups

Don’t believe everything you hear… at least that’s what Tracey Edmonds is telling her fans. The gorgeous music executive, who recently endured a nasty split from ex-husband wannabe Eddie Murphy, says there is no truth to the rumors that she and rapper 50 Cent are a couple. The mother of two young sons says the rumors started after paps shot her hanging out with 50 Cent at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah earlier this year. According to Edmonds, she did attend the film festival and spent some time with the In Da Club rapper, but she insists the two … Continue reading

It’s That Time of Year Again – The Razzies!

While so many people wonder whether there will be an Oscar ceremony this year (due to the writer’s strike), there is one thing that is certain – the Razzies will go on. The Razzies celebrate the best of the worst.

So who is up for this dubious award this year? Two names that have been in the headlines (and not in a good way!) … Continue reading

Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds—SPLIT!

If their union was legal the news could put them in the record books… then again this is Hollywood were talking about. Just two weeks after Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds rang in 2008 by hosting a lavish multi-million dollar sunset vow exchange on a private island off Bora Bora in French Polynesia the two have reportedly called it quits.

Eddie Murphy Gets Hitched and Marie Osmond Embraces the Single Life

After several months of delays and threats of cancellation Eddie Murphy and fiancée Tracey Edmonds decided to just do it. The couple reportedly wed on New Year’s Day on a private island in French Polynesia. According to PEOPLE Magazine, the lavish affair was attended by a very small group (less than 30) of family and friends. However, what the wedding lacked in numbers it made up for in elegance. Oprah’s pal, renowned event coordinator Colin Cowie, reportedly created a gazebo on the beach made out of 6,000 shells for the couple’s sunset oceanside ceremony. Cowie also flew in a four-layered … Continue reading

Star Updates: Speedy Nuptials, Speedy Recoveries and More

Speeding Nuptials Spice Girl Melanie Brown is back in the headlines again. No, she’s not lunching with any more of Eddie Murphy’s former love interests; rather she’s raising eyebrows for getting hitched to her own love interest. According to Brown’s rep, the singer secretly married her boyfriend, Stephen Belafonte, in Las Vegas two months ago. According to friends of the couple, the pair has known each other for years, but things turned romantic when Brown became pregnant with Murphy’s baby. According to Brown, Belafonte (no relation to singer Harry Belafonte) was a “tremendous support” to her during her pregnancy. The … Continue reading

Hell Hath No Fury As TWO Women Scorned

Eddie Murphy may want to think twice before making enemies with any more former flames. Judging by the recent solidarity shown by ex-wife Nicole Murphy (mother to five of his children) and ex-girlfriend Melanie Brown (mother to his infant daughter), the actor may want to add extra security. I’m kidding… about the security, but not about the recent bonding that has been going on between Murphy and Brown. The ladies recently lunched together at the paparazzi friendly Beverly Hills eatery the Ivy last week and were documented by at least 100 photographers exchanging kisses before departing. I don’t think it … Continue reading

Hollywood’s Single Moms—A Contrast In Characters

Surprise, surprise… It’s another bad mama award for Britney Spears. The pop singer’s much publicized divorce may finally be official, but the crisis concerning her children is far from over. As I mentioned in a previous blog, currently Spears and Kevin “Fed-Exed” Federline share joint custody of their two sons Sean Preston, 22 months, and Jayden, 11 months. However, there has been speculation that the former Mr. Britney Spears is working on wrangling custody from the pop singer due to her recent (and ongoing) “questionable” parenting skills. In addition to her reported meltdown at a recent magazine shoot, US Weekly … Continue reading

Movie producer Tracey Edmonds may be sporting a sling soon… she’ll need it to help support her left hand, specifically her ring finger. According to multiple media outlets, Edmonds is proudly flashing an enormous rock given to her by her now fiancé Eddie Murphy. The “Shrek” star and Edmonds (his girlfriend of 10 months) are officially engaged.

OK! Magazine reports the … Continue reading

Pop Culture Potpourri: No More DNA Doubts, No More Appendix, and More

NO MORE DNA DOUBTS The facts don’t lie. The results of the DNA test imposed upon Eddie Murphy are in, and according to PEOPLE magazine, the actor is indeed the father of Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown’s 2-month-old daughter. You’ll recall Libby previously wrote about the hoopla surrounding the paternity of Brown’s baby. The results came back yesterday and according to sources: “The baby is undoubtedly, 110 percent Eddie’s.” Brown gave birth to Angel Iris Murphy Brown on April 3 and immediately contended that Murphy was the child’s father, but in May Murphy refused to take a paternity test and reportedly … Continue reading
