If I was a bloke and broke up with a woman who got pregnant during the relationship, then I would not publicly denounce her that way. If I had suspicions then I would wait until the baby was born and obtain paternity testing. It's like the whole Liz Hurley/Steve Bing thing. The thing is, men aren't the only one's who cheat and if men do have a suspicion, then find out first who the daddy is before shooting their mouths off.Date: 1/31/2007 2:52:28 PM

i used to like him and all his movies because he was such a family guy we could all relate to...that is til he divorced his long-time wife and started getting i'm 40+ and having issues like our favorite maverick...dated scary spice, got her pregnant then denounced her and the potential child on TV saying 'it could be anyone's...' ...what a classy guy!i just saw EM's preview on tv last nite and thought we are so not going to see that. just like we never saw MI3.![]()
I have always liked him but this past year or two I''ve kinda lost some of the luster.... I''m actually waiting to see if the paternity of scary spice''s baby turns out he is the father or not because if he is and he bad mouthed the situation HIS pe~is got him involved in then I''m going to be pretty disappointed. It''s not any of my business but keep your dang mouth shut or I get an opinion! I liked him much better when he was a husband and family man.Date: 1/31/2007 2:41:29 PM

Is anyone a Eddie Murphy Fan?
I see he is coming out with another movie on February 9th, where he plays multiple roles again. The hubby and I can''t wait to see it. It looks hilarious.

I don''t like him as a comedian. I think the upcoming movie is another one disrespectful to black women He''s always presenting the skinny woman as the prize and the big black woman as loud, tacky, ugly and someone to run from. I find it tasteless.Date: 1/31/2007 2:41:29 PM

I''m probably gonna get a lashing from lots of you out there but look at a lot of the video clips by gangsta rappers and hip hop or whatever it''s now called - misoginistic. Since when is it acceptable to refer to women as bit¢hes and hos.Date: 1/31/2007 6:16:47 PM

I don''t think it IS acceptable to call women either of these terms, but I am not sure what that has to do with Eddie Murphy. I have never heard him use THOSE terms. He just seems to do the SAME "formula" for his comedic movies and it gets old.Date: 2/1/2007 4:08:07 PM

I agree with you - he doesn''t use those terms. sistagrl2004 comment about him being disrespectful to quote ''black women'' just made me think that he''s not the only one being disrespectful, ie those horrible video clips by other people. It was more about the fact that people who make these movies, video clips think it''s acceptable.Date: 2/1/2007 4:16:38 PM

I am sorry about your dad, I lost mine in 1981 when I was 15. It still makes me sad. I am glad you have wonderful memories and that he was so admired and respected. That is something to feel good about and no one can take it away from you.
I remember so many scenes from Coming to America, it is just a riot. When they have him meeting the chosen bride in Zamunda and she is hopping on one leg and barking like a dog...and the characters he played were so funny. I love the scene in the bar with Arsenio where they are trying to find a suitable bride... And loved Shari Headley''s jewels at the end..not too shabby. ...just let your soul glo...
I think, even though stars of course know some of the price they will pay for being famous, that it is still such an invasive and difficult way to live. All of their choices, good bad and ugly, are front page news. And let''s face it, some of them, notwithstanding being talented or famous for their looks, are maybe not the nicest or most classy people...but we see them in a certain light til they crash down from the thrones we put them on. So, for now, unless it is really something vile and inexcusable, I can still spend a few bucks to see one of their films, though I am not rushing out to see Tom Cruise or Mel Gibson flicks, and I think I had a really tough time with Woody Allen for the longest time!
