Nicole Murphy and Michael Strahan are planning on marrying soon

Eddie Murphy's ex-wife and mother of five of his children, Nicole Murphy, is planning on marrying on-again off-again beau Michael Strahan in a small private ceremony. I wish these two well, I really do. I sincerely hope they get counseling prior to getting married to deal with their issues of infidelity, insecurity, and the like. For those of you who don't know, Nicole Murphy allegedly cheated on Michael throughout the early part of their relationship. He (allegedly) suspected she was cheating and placed several (!) tracking devices on her car to keep tabs on her. He even (allegedly) went to far as to ambush her while she was out with the other man. The two patched things up and have been going strong ever since.

Eddie Murphy holds a Blue Light Special on his house

Five years (!) after his Englewood, New Jersey mansion Bubble Gum and Two Snaps Up Bubble Hill went on the market for $30 million, comedian Eddie Murphy has slashed the price in half in hopes of closing a sale. The 25,000 square foot 32-room Colonial-style mansion sits on a 5 acre lot and boasts an indoor pool, elevator, theater, recording studio, bowling alley, and a separate carriage house with a gym.

When Murphy listed the home in 2004 it was then the most expensive home in New Jersey. The home has been costing him $197,723 per year in taxes.

Maybe They Shop Together Too

Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall surprised thousands of partygoers, and hung out with a bevy of attractive females Thursday night at JET NIGHTCLUB at the Mirage. DJ Que behind the turntables saw Hall and Murphy in the corner of his eye and quickly changed the beat to Murphy’s 1980’s hit single “Party All The Time.” The girls hanging at the VIP booth got up immediately and started dancing on the tables, “which made Murphy smile,” said one partygoer.
