Eddie Murphy to Marry Scary Spice

For real!

Eddie Murphy and former Spice Girl Mel B are reportedly set to wed in September. The couple - who met at a party in Beverly Hills last month - have reportedly booked the plush Roosevelt Hotel, in Los Angeles, for their "dream wedding". Mel, 31, and Murphy - who is 14 years her senior - are reportedly planning to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony attended by just close family and friends.

Think about it...This makes sense. We all know Eddie has kind of a thing for men dressed as ladies.

Also, just like a certain former British pop star, Eddie's female companion derives great pleasure from the frequent attendence of festive social gatherings.



That has got to be the most delightfully egomaniacal music video ever. Eddie and Rick James show up at the studio, Eddie sings an incredibly dippy 80's pop hit and everyone dances around with big, dopey grins as if this is the first time in their lives they have actually heard music.

Men dressed as ladies? Ehehehe, that's cool. And this is true? Eddie and Mel, I'm melting....

Konrad, I guess you guys don't get all the American gossip over there. In the early 90's, Eddie was pulled over by Los Angeles police with a transvestite hooker in his car.

Eddie claimed that he was just being a good samaritan, giving a working girl a ride home. The prostitute claimed Eddie knew he was a man and wanted to see him put on a pair of panties.

It became a big joke over here for a while after that. I recall a "Saturday Night Live" sketch in which Tim Meadows as Murphy drove around Hollywood all night doing good deeds and giving hookers rides home.
