What has happened to Eddie Murphy? Do we really need to see “Eddie Murphy, in Eddie Murphy, in Meet Dave”? He doesn’t even resemble the man who was the greatest stand-up comedian I’ve ever seen and has made the three funniest movies I’ve ever seen (48 hours, Coming to American, & Beverly Hills Cop). His [...] Read Full Story
Tracey Edmonds sure gets around. She was married to singer/producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds for years, and used his fame to climb up the Hollywood ladder. Tracey hasn’t done a thing herself, she’s just famous for who she dates.
After she and Babyface divorced, Tracey began dating Eddie Murphy – right after he dumped Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown, who was pregnant with his baby. Murphy and Edmonds then kinda sorta married in a on a private island off Bora Bora. It wasn’t official – they... Read Full Story

There’s been some speculation into whether or not Eddie Murphy is going to quit or not - some actually WANT him to!

Clearly I was quite excited about this news - but recently I have been informed... Read Full Story

Brett Ratner has found his crowd. The most
successful constantly derided film director in Hollywood will guide
Eddie Murphy through sequel hell on
Beverly Hills Cop 4 ,
which we mentioned last week might not be a
great idea, to put it mildly.
This week,
The Rat is talking to MTV about the fourth
film. “We’re trying to revitalize the franchise. He was one of my favorite movie
characters of all-time, Axel Foley, by far the coolest movie character,” says
Ratner... Read Full Story
Can the insanity please stop? Are there no original movie ideas left in Hollywood?
Well I guess Rambo and Rocky did it, so why not Detective Axel Foley? Eddie Murphy has signed on to bring Beverly Hills Cop back to life again. Guess Indiana Jones has started a sucky trend, fucking $300 million weekend.

I've always thought Eddie Murphy did comedy better than action, but now I have to add honesty and integrity to his repetoire. He does such a wonderful family film here that it's almost hard to believe he got his start on Saturday Night Live. The mere concept of talking with the animals is created quite believably in the film even though you have to consider the detail that would go into such a Read Full Story
