EDDIE MURPHY’S DAUGHTER GOT LUCKY

Who knew Eddie Murphy had such a gorgeous daughter? Eddie has so many kids that Bella Murphy, 19, almost got lost in the shuffle. She’s always wanted to act, so Eddie auditioned her and cast her to play his character Prince Akeem’s audacious daughter in Coming 2 America, debuting on Amazon Prime March 5. Eddie says it took almost 25 years to make a sequel to Coming to America because he was so worried that the sequel might not live up to the popular original.

PAIGE BUTCHER’S KIDS WITH EDDIE MURPHY MAKE HIM FATHER OF 10

Eddie Murphy’s fiancee Paige Butcher is out and about with his two cute kids Izzy (born 2016) and Max (born 2018.) Paige, 43, has been with Eddie, 59, since 2012, when they met on the set of Martin Lawrence’s movie Big Momma’s House 2. They seem to have a relaxed and comfortable relationship – been engaged for years. Keep in mind, Eddie has a total of 10 children (age 2 to 31) with five different women. He says that when he STARTED doing standup he was only 27 and had no kids- now that he’s doing standup again, he has PLENTY to talk about – thanks to his kids…

NICOLE MURPHY: CAUGHT IN THE ACT – AGAIN!

Just a few months ago, Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife Nicole Murphy caused a ruckus when a paparazzo in Italy caught her passionately kissing married director Antoine Fuqua. (He’s been married to Lela Rochon for 20 years) Nicole took a lot of heat and stumbled awkwardly, trying to explain her behavior (while no one seemed to question Antoine!) Paparazzi often see her in Beverly Hills, but this week something was different. The very athletic Nicole, who reportedly got a 15 million dollar settlement from Eddie, used a handicap tag to avoid paying for parking in Beverly Hills!

MELANIE “SCARY SPICE” BROWN IS BRUTALLY HONEST ABOUT HER LIFE

Mel B just released her autobiography Brutally Honest and it proves that she IS one of the wildest sex & drugs celebrities from her era. We remember back in the early 2000’s when she and Stephen Belafonte would prowl the Rainbow on Sunset for pretty girls to take home for threesomes. (How she could marry a guy who changed his name to Belafonte in hopes of passing for Harry Belafonte’s son, is a mystery.) She talks about it in her book, but what MOST surprised us was Mel calling Eddie Murphy the love of her life. Their romance might have lasted, but she got pregnant and that spoiled everything. Her divorce is costing a fortune, so Mel (AKA Scary Spice) is lucky that the Spice Girls are starting a concert tour next June.

IS EDDIE MURPHY TOO COMPLACENT TO DO STAND-UP AGAIN?

Eddie Murphy’s girlfriend Paige Butcher went to Starbucks without Eddie for a change, but she brought their cute little girl Izzy (Eddie’s 9th child!) along for the ride. Eddie’s been leading a life of leisure and not working a lot lately, but maybe he’s finally getting busy on his upcoming movie Triplets. Ivan Reitman, who did the original 1988 comedy Twins, has spent years putting together Triplets, again starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, with Eddie signed on as their long-lost sibling. Personally, we’d love to see Eddie do stand-up comedy again …

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDDIE MURPHY!

He’s 58 today and Eddie Murphy has established quite a life for himself. After his devastating divorce from Nicole in 2006 (they have five kids) he vowed never to get divorced again. Another model, Australian-born Paige Butcher, (above) has made Eddie a father for the ninth time with his 6th daughter. All of Eddie’s kids are cute (they have pretty mothers) and luckily, they all get along and spend holidays together. Paige and adorable little Izzy Murphy, almost 2, are living in Eddie’s Bel Air mansion, but apparently she’s smart enough not to hold her breath waiting for a ring.

EDDIE MURPHY AND FRIENDS WANT TO BE PART OF BLACK PANTHER 2

Usually we only see photos of Eddie Murphy, 57, and his Australian girlfriend Paige Butcher, 38, getting coffee somewhere, but this week he took her out for a really fun evening. Paige and Eddie now have a two year old daughter named Izzy but there were no kids at this “comedy dinner” at Mastro’s Steakhouse. Eddie joined his friends Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Usher, Kevin Hart, plus others for a highly entertaining meal. Later Chris said that Eddie was the funniest – and the group spent a lot of time figuring out how they can get into Black Panther 2.

WHAT’S EDDIE MURPHY SMILING ABOUT?

Eddie Murphy has never looked happier – in the company of a woman, at least. He’s been keeping company with gorgeous Australian model Paige Butcher for three years and they REALLY love to have coffee together, among other things. Eddie’s 54 to Paige’s 36, and he’s about to start what could be a second family with her. She’s expecting her first child (and his ninth) in Spring. Eddie’s set to star in Lee Daniels’ new Richard Pryor movie.

It’s about time – Eddie Murphy, 54, finally took his model girlfriend Paige Butcher, 35, someplace besides Starbucks. They’re frequently seen getting coffee, but rarely seen anywhere else. This weekend they went to a Lakers game and were seen smooching in their VIP seats. Eddie and his Australian sweetheart have been together over two years and they vacation with his kids like an old married couple.

JUDD APATOW IS NO FAN OF BILL COSBY – AND YOU SHOULDN’T BE EITHER!

Is producer/director
Judd Apatow the last decent guy in Hollywood? He is certainly OUR hero of the day. When Eddie Murphy refused to play Bill Cosby in an unflattering skit on the Saturday Night Live special, SOME people were actually impressed! Piers Morgan DID express admiration on Twitter for Eddie “not wanting to kick Cosby when he’s down.” Judd Apatow slammed them both saying “That’s not loyalty- it’s choosing to support a rich rapist over 30 victims.” And when Cosby tweeted a thank you to Eddie for his support, Apatow wrote “It’s important that when our friends rape people that we support them and do not mock them for raping.” We say THANK YOU, Judd Apatow!
