Eddie Murphy an Absentee Dad?

February 2nd, 2009

Eddie Murphy has never met Angel, the 22-month-old daughter he fathered with Spice Girl Mel B., OK! has learned.

 

“To see the kid, he’d have to see the mother,” a friend of the Norbit actor, 47 (who has five other children by his ex-wife Nicole Mitchell, and two from a previous relationship), tells OK!. “Maybe when she’s older, Eddie will see Angel, but not now.”

 

Mel, 33 (real name Melanie Brown), 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.”

 

Come on Eddie, do it for Angel!

No Riddler for Eddie Murphy

December 18th, 2008

While all of Hollywood seemed to be buzzing that Eddie Murphy was a shoo-in to play the Riddler in the next Batman movie, his agent is now denying earlier reports that had him all but officially part of the cast, telling Access Hollywood that news is "not true."

 

Other names being bandied about for the popular movie have included Johnny Depp as the Riddler, Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin and Angelina Jolie or Rachel Weisz as Catwoman.

 

So far, however, the president of Warner Bros., Alan Horn, says they’re focusing on the plot.

“The story is everything,” Horn tells Collider.com. “We’ve been talking to [director] Chris Nolan and what we have to do is get him in the right place and have him tell us what he thinks the notion might be for a great story, but Chris did a great job and we’d love to have him come back and do another one… we are going to be respectful of his timing and we want to get it right.”

Heath Ledger will be remembered by some as a brilliant actor, but others recall him as the perfect prankster. Monster’s Ball producer Lee Daniels reminisced about one particularly effective prank, when he and the cast were staying in a cheap motel. "One day, I turned on the light in my room and saw frogs hopping around!" Daniels told Rush & Molloy. "I was screaming! In the next room, I heard Heath laughing. He knew I didn’t like frogs, so he’d gone out and caught some. He was a serious, hardworking actor, but he was also a riot."

Now that Jessica Alba is pregnant and getting married, she’s taking on a motherly persona. The Eye actress consoled Eddie Murphy’s ex Tracey Edmonds during the 50 Cent/Myspace concert at TAO Park City. She even shooed away fiancé Cash Warren in order to better counsel the distraught designer, reports Rush & Molloy.

Eddie Murphy and Wife Split!

January 16th, 2008 / Author: cwillett

Eddie Murphy and new wife Tracey Edmonds are happily married no more. The newlyweds have decided to call it quits after only two weeks of apparently not-so-blissful wedded bliss.

Through a statement from his rep, Eddie told TV’s Extra: "After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego 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."

The couple had a wedding ceremony on the tropical island nation of French Polynesia over the New Year’s holiday.

Watch out, Pamela Anderson — this quickie marriage is one for the record books!
