Eddie Murphy retire from the movie making biz:

Eddie Murphy is dishing about leaving the movie business for good after the release of his latest film. “I have close to fifty movies and it’s like, why am I in the movies?” he said, adding, “I’ve done that part now. I’ll go back to the stage and do standup.”

Murphy, 47, said that while a “Beverly Hills Cop 4″ flick was in the works, he didn’t want to do it, because “the movie wasn’t ready to be done.” Murphy said he agreed to do “Cop 3″ because of the large fee he was offered. “They said this is how much we’re going to pay you. I said, ‘let’s go shoot it! I don’t care if the script ain’t right.” As for Eddie’s love life, the new bachelor [said] he is currently looking for a woman with “just honesty and some other things.”

Hmmm. Wonder if by “other things” he was referring to an adams apple and the old twig and berries?

Eddie’s most recent films have been sooo ass, he should’ve let that ship set sail years ago. The real question is: Sure, he may take the stage again, but can the brotha recover from years of doing wack ass kiddie movies ‘n’ shyte? Only time will tell…..

  • I’m Just Me

    LMAOOO @ the twig and berries comment! Yeah he is looking for that constant back door action and taco meat on his chest. I am glad he is retiring because quite frankly I am tired of his same type of movies thing.

    WHERE THE HELL IS CHARLIE MURPHY! I LOVE HIM AND THINK HE HIS HILARIOUS! I WANT TO SEE HIM ON THE BIG SCREEN!

  • http://myspace.com/afiya00 Afiya

    I would love to see Eddie back on stage…

  • Injera70

    Eddie is one of the highest grossing male actor out there. The man is paid he knew Tracey was trying to stick him for his papers.

  • http://myspace.com/afiya00 Afiya

    50 movies huh…I can probably think of 20 w/sequels off the top of my head…he is an acting genius though…he really should have recieved an Oscar for all the characters he’s played.

  • Aunt Viv

    …and with the exception of Dreamgirls, your scripts ain’t been right since Coming to America…

  • SMDH

    I love Eddie as an actor – I just wish he’d do a better job of being a father to his daughter by Mel B..

    Eddie’s cool though!!

  • Aunt Viv

    Oh I forgot about Shrek.

  • Sarafina

    umm shrek was a great movie thank you very much! LOL

  • PHillyphilly

    Yall R CRAZY NORBIT IS THE SHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYT!!!!!!!!!!! HOW YOU DOIN!!! LOLOLOLOLOL

  • Royal Chocolate

    This fool doesn’t know what he wants. To find a woman with “just honesty and some other things”, you must be a man with “just honesty and some other things.”

  • B17(Espana r tha champs and im free from trainin camp!)

    Beverly Hills 1&2 are my favorite Eddie movies..

    It makes me wonder what growin up in Murphy household was like..him with his weird ass and Charlie with his crazy ass!

  • Envy (Est. in 1983)

    WHEN I SAW “ITS ABOUT TIME”, I THOUGHT IT WOULD SAY, ITS ABOUT TIME HE STEPPED UP AND IS NOW CLAIMING BABY ANGEL……..I REALLY DID, WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT

  • Ms Certain

    Eddie is a trip!!! He made movies that were weak and he thinks that he should receive some kinda honor for bullshyte!!!! Please Nicca!!!

    Good bye and don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Lauren

    Maybe he’ll stop doing movies and take care of ALL kids kids, not some of them, and maybe not.

  • P

    he shold go back to standup. he’d at least have a chance to rehab his image.

  • I’m Just Me

    @ Envy

    I thought it was going to say he was finally coming out of the closet.

  • I’m Just Me

    OMG STOP IT WITH THE HATER WORD ALREADY. BEFORE PEOPLE WERE USING HATING LIKE IT WAS GOING OUT OF STYLE PEOPLE WERE ENTITLED TO NOT LIKE SOMEONE’S MOVIES, IMAGE, LOOK. YOU LIKE WHAT YOU LIKE. DAMMIT IF I DON’T LIKE BEYONCE DRESS ONE TIME I HAVE TO BE A HATER. IF I DON’T LIKE ONE OR 12 OF EDDIE’S MOVIES I AM A HATER. IF I LIKE CHARLIE MURPHY BETTER THAN EDDIE I AM A HATER. ENOUGH ALREADY! NOT EVERYONE LIKES EVERY PERSON, THING THAT THEY DO. IT ISN’T THAT SERIOUS TO BE CALLED IT HATING. GET OVER IT! PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN OPINIONS!!!

    Sorry…that was my PMS moment for the day.

  • HarlemWorld4eva

    Eddie Murphy is the top box office draw of all time. Give the man some credit. He brought wise-crackin, cop buddy movies into fame. Show some love and stop hatin’!

  • Jahpson

    his reign ended in the 80s and 90s for the best movies.

    The nutty professor was the last funny movie that he ever made. its about time he stood down

  • Meeko From Detroit

    yeah i think he needs to go back to stand up and make it rain on them hoes.

    X johnny gill out of the picture

    get back in that tight ass Michael get-up

    and Delirous 20 years later

  • cns

    Nice manicure.

  • Al-Anon

    Eddie better keep working making those dog ass movies. His elementary school full of children will need college educations at Ivy League schools and new cars!!

  • Veronica

    Hannibal you sound like a clown!He was making wack ass movies before he was with Mel B. Its Nicole’s fault.Stop being a trifling dog

  • Misty Knight

    Everytime I see a trailer for one of this dudes movies, I feel soo perplexed , just shake my head thinking “theyre still letting this dude make movies?” What does it take for someone to get banned from the studios these days? As if “Pluto Nash” wasnt a crime against humanity enough, and “Norbit” was not exactly a smash hit, Why are folks still willing to bet on this fool? He has not been Axel from Beverly Hills Cop , since the first one, what are they tryna accomplish?..sooooooo many questions sooo little answers!

  • Hannibal

    @Veronice

    Get ur lazy ass in the kitchen and make your man a sandwich like women are supposed to!

  • Stary Eyed

    Aww man hes only 47, he can do more movies.

  • crunchy black

    Whomever talks ish about Eddie can munch on a twig and a berry

  • Envy (Est. in 1983)

    @IM JUST ME

    LOL

  • 2cute4u

    I think Eddie Murphy was funny as hell as a stand up comedian. He made a lot of money off of the Shreck movies, but I would respect him more if he would take an interest in his daughters life.

    @Hannibal, I see you’re in “rare form” once again today!!!

  • Hannibal

    @2cute4u

    What do you mean by, “rare form”?!

  • Black

    I don’t care what you people say NORBIT was HE$$$ FUNNY. If you haven’t seen it cop it.!!!!!

  • Ms Maloy

    Is it me or is one side of Eddie’s nose higher than the other?

  • Urban Hippie

    Eddie Murphy hasn’t been funny since 1991. Not only is he not funny, he’s just not a nice guy. The three times I’ve met him, he was the rudest person I’ve ever met.

    I like him as Donkey from Shrek. At least Donkey is nice.

  • Virgo911

    @ Black….Norbit is a cult classic. The critics didn’t understand the humor at all. Everybody was funny..esp Marlon Wayans (POWER TAP!!!) LOL

    Everybody that I know that saw it loved it…

    Eddie is a stand-up legend and is still funny when he doensn’t do mainstream ish. It should be interesting.

  • 2cute4u

    @Hannibal

    I meant that in a sarcastic tone…I was just reading through some of your comments and they are mean and resentful as usual. I still love you though!

  • 2cute4u

    Oh yeah, Virgo911 Norbit was funny as hell, stupid, low budget, and ignorant yes…but ultimately it was funny, I watch it when I need a good laugh.

  • http://www.myspace.com/mistikay GreenEyes

    Eddie needs to go back to his roots and do standup.. I would love to see him on stage again. Doing great movies just wasn’t his thing.

    Now.. if this triflin man would just take care of little Angel Iris Murphy Brown…

  • http://www.myspace.com/mistikay GreenEyes

    @Hannibal

    Lol you silly as hell!

  • http://deleted Nothing nice

    Glad he’s retiring. He been corny for yrs now.

  • http://deleted Nothing nice

    @ 2cute4u

    If u want a movie to watch for laughs pick up “Meet the Browns”.

    really funny and I’m seriously not a Tyler Perry fan but this movie was funny.

  • Hannibal

    If u people really wanna see a funny movie, watch “Radio” starring Cuba Gooding Jr.!

  • Nonya BISHES!

    EDDIE…GO AWAY…and start taking care of your DAUGHTER with Mel B…you dummy!

  • http://www.nosite.com Angel88

    Whos dry black hand is that on the right hand side of the screen?

  • Somer

    EDDIE IS SOO OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE AVERAGE PERSON that there is no way he can do stand up as funny as the material in Raw. He has lived behind those mansion walls with Nicole for 15yrs and didn’t even want to go anywhere (except to the guest house). I can’t even picture him doing stand up again. Even on the set of Dreamgirls, Jhud spoke so candidly about how Jamie & other costars would help her. When asked about Eddie, she said that he was really focused & didn’t really speak unless the camera was rolling. That is a nice way of saying that he was an asshole.

  • PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    i could care less what Eddie does because i’ll never use my hard earned money to aide him in NOT paying child support for ALL of his kids. GO TAKE MEL B SOME PAMPERS WIT YO TRIFE ASS!

  • http://www.pastryshoescollection.com run’s house

    Eddie’s still got a good movie left in him I can feel it but its too bad we’ve had to watch 30 stinkers in the meantime.

  • DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!

    IT’S NOT LIKE EDDIE TURNED DOWN “BATMAN”, “THE DEPARTED”, “AMERICAN BEAUTY”, “FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS” & OTHERS…

    YOU TAKE WHAT YOU CAN GET!!!

    IF THEY OFFER YOU 20 CRAP FILMS FOR EVERY GOOD ONE, A BROTHA GOT TO WORK!!!

    SITTIN AT HOME REJECTING FILMS DOES NOT PAY THE BILLS!!!!!!!

  • 2cute4u

    @nothing nice: YES! Meet the Browns is funny as heck! Especially the old uncle with the too little suits.

    @Hannibal:”if you people really want to see a funny movie watch “Radio” …I laughed about that comment for at least 20 minutes! Only someone who has seen that movie would understand that comment! Its a serious movie I know, but the way they got Cuba acting like…well the way they got him acting in that movie is halarious! LMAO!!!!!!!!!

  • 2cute4u

    @prttybrwngirl

    Eddie is taking care of little Iris financially I think they settled that in court during the paternity issue, he doesn’t spend any time with her or acknowledge her in the way a father would and should. And thats actually just as bad or worse than not taking financial responsibility. I mean unless something has changed that I haven’t heard about, you can correct me, I won’t be offended.

  • J

    Norbit is funny…don’t hate.

    SENATOR OBAMA,PLEASE TELL AMERICA YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS AMERICAN JUDICIAL INJUSTICE ???

    ***LETS ALL HOPE OUR MEDIA FRIENDS ALSO SHOW AN INTEREST IN REPORTING ON THIS AMERICAN HORROR FACING THESE (TENS OF THOUSANDS) FORGOTTEN AND TRAPPED POORER AMERICANS, AND HOW THIS POSSIBLE FUTURE PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER HANDLES THIS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE FACING AMERICA’S LATINO AND BLACK AMERICAN COMMUNITIES ????

    ***WITH 80% OF THE BLACK AMERICAN VOTERS SAYING THEY SUPPORT SENATOR OBAMA IN THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, IT IS ONLY FAIR FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW PRIOR BEING ELECTED OUR NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HOW THIS DEMOCRATIC SENATOR TRULY FEELS ABOUT THIS AMERICAN JUDICIAL HORROR CONTINUING TO INFLICT GRAVE HARM ON THE BLACK AMERICAN FAMILIES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE ??????

    *** WHEN GOD’S FACE BECAME VERY RED ***

    THE US SUPREME COURT GAVE ENEMY COMBATANTS FEDERAL APPEAL HC RIGHTS LAWYERS AND PROPER ACCESS TO US FEDERAL COURTS,AND POORER AMERICANS (MANY EVEN ON DEATH ROW) ARE DENIED PROPER FEDERAL APPEAL LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO OUR US FEDERAL COURTS OF APPEAL, AND ROTTING IN AMERICAN PRISONS NATIONWIDE ?????????

    **** INNOCENT AMERICANS ARE DENIED REAL HC RIGHTS WITH THEIR FEDERAL APPEALS !

    THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE $LOWLY FINDING OUT HOW EA$Y IT I$ FOR MIDDLE CLA$$ AND WORKING POOR AMERICAN$ TO FALL VICTIM TO OUR U$ MONETARY JUDICIAL $Y$TEM.

    ****WHEN THE US INNOCENT WERE ABANDONED BY THE GUILTY ****

    The prison experts have reported that there are 100,000 innocent Americans currently being falsely imprisoned along with the 2,300,000 total US prison population nationwide.

    Since our US Congress has never afforded poor prison inmates federal appeal legal counsel for their federal retrials,they have effectively closed the doors on these tens of thousands of innocent citizens ever being capable of possibly exonerating themselves to regain their freedom through being granted new retrials.

    This same exact unjust situation was happening in our Southern States when poor and mostly uneducated Black Americans were being falsely imprisoned for endless decades without the needed educational skills to properly submit their own written federal trial appeals.

    This devious and deceptive judicial process of making our poor and innocent prison inmates formulate and write their own federal appeal legal cases for possible retrials on their state criminal cases,is still in effect today even though everyone in our US judicial system knows that without proper legal representation, these tens of thousands of innocent prison inmates will be denied their rightful opportunities of ever being granted new trials from our federal appeal judges!!

    Sadly, the true US *legal* Federal Appeal situation that occurs when any of our uneducated American prison inmates are forced to attempt to submit their own written Federal Appeals (from our prisons nationwide) without the assistance of proper legal counsel, is that they all are in reality being denied their legitimate rights for Habeas Corpus and will win any future Supreme Court Case concerning this injustice!

    For our judicial system and our US Congressional Leaders Of The Free World to continue to pretend that this is a real and fair opportunity for our American Middle Class and Working Poor Citizens, only delays the very needed future change of Federal Financing of all these Federal appeals becoming a normal formula of Our American judicial system.

    It was not so very long ago that Public Defenders became a Reality in this country.Prior that legal reality taking place, their were also some who thought giving anyone charged with a crime a free lawyer was a waste of taxpayers $$.

    This FACADE and HORROR of our Federal Appeal proce$$ is not worthy of the Greatest Country In The World!

    ***GREAT SOCIETIES THAT DO NOT PROTECT EVEN THEIR INNOCENT, BECOME THE GUILTY!

    A MUST READ ABOUT AMERICAN INJUSTICE:

    1) YAHOO AND 2) GOOGLE

    MANNY GONZALES THE KID THAT EVERYONE FORGOT IN THE CA PRISON SYSTEM.
