Eddie Murphy And Tracey Edmonds Wed New Years Day!

Wow talk about starting 2008 with a bang.

Battle of the network ex-lovers featured Eddie Murphy (his ex being Nicole Mitchell Murphy) and Tracey Edmonds (Kenneth BabyFace Edmonds' ex) getting married New Years Day on the island of Bora Bora, one of the islands that makes up Tahiti. Are we taking odds and starting a pool as to how long this one will last? No. I'm not even going to be a pessimist about the whole thing. I wish them a long and strong marriage. But we'll be all over the next story that has the you two of you even thinking abut breaking up or yet another baby out of wedlock like Eddie had with his "other ex" Mel B(Scary Spice Girl).

Indy Racer Helio Takes Flag on Dancing With The Stars, As Cheetah Girl, Sabrina Bryan Proves She's The Real Road Runner

Shortly after performing a spot-on encore of their best dance of the season, the quickstep, Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough won the glittering mirror ball trophy. But during the whole time I watched the show, I couldn't help but wonder whether absent baby daddy Eddie Murphy and his new woman Tracie Edmonds were checking out our favorite Spice Girl.

Mel B was arguably the better technical dancer between thed two, I'll give you that. But Helio, however, easily earned the title of most improved, not to mention most beloved by the cheering crowd. Unlike others in the competition, he didn't come from a dance, stage or entertainment background. Natural talent, buckets of charisma and a willingness to learn carried the two-time Indy 500 champ to his first ever dancing title. For partner Julianne, the night was a repeat, as she claimed the victory last season with another athlete, Olympic speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno.

But the gal who really should be complaining is that Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan.She along with all the former contestants was asked back to dance one last time. And for the record, she danced her a** off. By the end of the night it was obvious that not only was it a travesty that she and her partner Mark Ballas were not part of the finals, but didn't just win the whole competition out right.

In addition to their very excellent dancing, we then later find out that Mark really Man'd-Up for this last performance tonight, as at the conclusion of their performance, he was immediately rushed to the hospital in an ambulance with a torn shoulder tendon. He got the injury from rehearsal, the night before, and went out tonight anyway. Yes, the show must go on!

MEL B. AND EDDIE AIRING THEIR TRASH ON LARRY KING LIVE

I can't wait till the Spice Girls Tour starts, 'cause Mel B (Scary Spice) is a woman in need of a job!! And just what is all this face time about? Is she really "working" as she brings attention to the coming tour? Is the ultra-bitter paternity war between Scary Spice and Eddie Murphy all over -- a house?

On last night's "Larry King Live," Larry revealed that Eddie's people are claiming Scary demanded a $9 million mega mansion from the funnyman -- a claim that Scary never outright denied.

After she was finished bobbing and weaving, Scary also revealed that she and Eddie tattooed their names on each other, claiming that the ink proves that they were, "very much in love and wanted to have a family together." Mel B added, "You don't tattoo somebody's name on your body if it's brief and unimportant, let's put it that way." Romance fades, tats are forever!

Now Mel, you already announced you are married to someone else (Stephen Belafonte). Do you really think your new man wants to hear this crap about your old man Eddie. Are you still sporting that Eddie tattoo, because Black skin doesn't erase that easily?

On behalf of all men out there, who are doing the right thing, I'm going to tell you to "shut your pie hole" and just love the "stand up man" who is now willing to help you raise Eddie's child.

And just for you fellas out there who know what I'm talking about ... I'm going to reward you and run this picture again ... Is there anything more gorgeous than your woman getting her drink on?

WHAT HAPPENED IN VEGAS DOESN'T STAY AS MEL B MARRIES BLACK MUSIC PRODUCER STEPHEN BELAFONTE

Eddie Murphy's baby's mama Melanie Brown has secretly married her boyfriend in Las Vegas.

Mr. & Mrs Stephen Belafonte tied the knot on June 6, according to a marriage license filed in Clark County, Nevada and first reported by celeb gossip site PerezHilton.com.

In a statement to PEOPLE, Scary Spice's rep said: "Regarding the marriage, Mel and Stephen have know each other for many years and were great friends first. Now they are deeply in love. The two are very happy together."

The couple first got together when Brown was pregnant. "He was a really good friend and good support to me during my pregnancy," she told PEOPLE in a recent interview. "He's a really sweet guy."

Locked in a bitter paternity battle with 'Donkey' over their daughter Angel Iris Murphy Brown, last week, Murphy released a statement acknowledging paternity and payment of child support that continues to be disputed by Brown.

EDDIE MURPHY: "I ADMIT IT... I'M THE SPICE BABY'S DADDY"

Although it's been a buzz on this site and other information media outlets for several months, for the first time Eddie Murphy has now publicly acknowledged he fathered a child with Spice Girl Mel B. Eddie who is 46, released a statement through his publicist saying he would "honour his responsibilities as a father." His announcement came a day after Mel B - real name Melanie Brown - took legal action to establish him as a parent. A DNA test in June confirmed that Mr Murphy was the father of Angel Iris Murphy Brown, who was born in April.

EDDIE MURPHY, MEL B, NICOLE AND TRACEY EDMONDS: AS THE WORLD OF BLACK HOLLYWOOD TURNS

It's The Gift That Just Keeps On Giving

Eddie Muphy.

When you heard his name back in the day you thought about Beverly Hills Cop, 48 Hours, Shrek, right?

Cut to Thursday at L.A.'s The Ivy, a spot on Robertson Boulevard sandwiched between Beverly Hills and West Hollywood where NOONE goes just to eat. If you chewing it up at this tasty, known paparazzi hang-up, you have made a calculated decision to put your business all out on the street.

Which leads us to the Ex-Eddie's club meeting where Melanie Brown, aka Scary Spice, was holding court while toting 4-month-old daughter Angel Iris.

Her lunch companion was none other than Nicole Murphy and her 5-year-old daughter Bella, her youngest of five children with the iconic Black actor, comedian and procreator of mankind.

With Nicole now residing in Manhattan Beach some 20 miles away, in LA traffic that trek took at least an hour, not counting camera prep time.

Which begs the question, are we getting ready to witness a girlfight with Babyface's ex Tracey Murphy, um... we mean Edmonds?

So why didn't Mel B meet Nicole over in her neck of the woods?
Because they wanna' shut him down!

WITH GLORIA ALLRED AT HER SIDE, MEL B GOES "THERE" WITH EDDIE MURPHY!

Deciding it was time to give a soon-to-be divorced, um... married Black superstar a major wake-up call, Melanie Brown filed a Superior Court petition against you know who with her lawyer Gloria Allred.

Payback is a mutha, right Mr. Tracie Edmonds?

The legal move seeks to officially and unequivocally establish Eddie Murphy as the father of her 4-month-old daughter.

Brown will also seek sole custody of Angel Iris Murphy Brown and reasonable (I'm going to break the bank be-otch) child support, attorney Gloria Allred said at a press conference.

"I am here today for one reason and one reason only; her name is Angel," Brown said. "Angel is my baby and Eddie's. She will always know that she was planned and wanted by both of us."

Arnold Robinson, a spokesman for the 46-year-old actor, declined comment. "We just don't comment on Eddie Murphy's personal life (when doing so puts us in the unenviable position of trying to defend the indefensible)," he said.

Murphy has shown "shocking and appalling" conduct (by hooking up with Babyface's woman) since the test, Allred said in a statement.

The statement also indicated that a DNA test has shown that Murphy is the father. The test itself "established paternity but paternity has not been legally acknowledged."

Brown, aka Scary Spice of the Spice Girls, dated Murphy in 2006 when "Donkey" made the conscious decision to procreate rather than putting the needs of his other children first.

The 32-year-old singer gave birth to her daughter April 3. She listed Murphy as the father on the birth certificate. Murphy took the DNA test in June, Allred said.

Murphy has five children from his marriage to Nicole Mitchell Murphy (currently the only one in this messy soap opera that actually looks like they have some sense), who filed for divorce in 2005.

Brown, who looks amazing for someone who just had a baby, also has an 8-year-old daughter.

While Eddie ponders whether to confirm rumors about his recent engagement, The Spice Girls recently reunited for a tour that is scheduled to begin later this year.

USHER, EDDIE MURPHY AND IAN JOHNSON: BLACK MEN GETTING MARRIED (OR NOT) TOPS THE DAY'S NEWS

While we can only imagine what's really going on with Usher, his mama and his baby mama drama, Ian Johnson was in Idaho getting hitched.

But not before the Black Boise State running back and his bride in white prayed to end prejudice.

Johnson and Chrissy Popadics, the bubbly head cheerleader he proposed to after scoring the winning points in the Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma, were married Saturday in a traditional ceremony at Cathedral of the Rockies First United Methodist Church.

Johnson revealed that he received phone calls and about 30 letters, including personal threats from people who objected to his plans to marry a White woman.

The ceremony went on, however, ending with the couple jumping over a broom , an African tradition signifying the couple jumping into a new life together.

Speaking of jumping the broom, Bossip posted a story that Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds are reportedly engaged after only 10 months of courting. (between the two of them, they have what... 10 kids?)

According to OK! magazine, the 46-year-old ‘Dreamgirls’ and ‘Shrek the Third’ star proposed on July 25 with a “massive,” roughly 8-carat CARTIER yellow diamond engagement ring.

A friend of the couple says, “They’re very adorable together, very happy,” adding that they plan to tie the knot before the end of the year with a private wedding: “something low-key and romantic.

The two showed up at the Hollywood premiere of Edmond's comedy "Who's Your Caddy?" with a big rock --as in diamond-- on her left ring finger. "A really sweet, wonderful, beautiful gift that this (baby faced) man gave me," the producer of the film gushed before realizing that she unknowingly compared him with her first (cash-cow) husband.

When asked about the engagement rumors, Murphy reportedly said: "If I were gonna do an engagement ring, it would be much bigger."

Tracey, better watch your back, Mel B is coming back with a vengeance as The Spice Girls plan to start touring again. Here's their latest publicity shot since announcing that they have reunited:

Not bad for having just popped out a little Murphy girl just a few months ago.
