Hide your transvestite hookers: Eddie Murphy may have a lot more free time on his hands.
According to WENN, he might be hanging it up after a career that began promisingly with 48 Hours and Beverly Hills Cop and ran aground ten years later. Even his Oscar nomination for Dreamgirls felt obligatory. Except to Murphy, of course, who's such a good sport he walked out of the ceremony after losing to a better performance by a better human being (Alan Arkin). There were actually quite a few better candidates than Murphy that year, and I'd be glad to list them for you should you ask.
So now, the once funny but long since irrelevant and self-absorbed Murphy might call it quits.
"I have close to fifty movies and it's like, why am I in the movies? I've done that part now," said Murphy. "I'll go back to the stage and do stand-up.

I was immediately drawn to this for several reasons, chief among them that I use funny as a noun, as in "bring the funny," "lost their funny," etc. In fact, when saying pretty much the same thing we're discussing here back on May 20th, I said Myers was "fresh out of funny."

Comedian Dane Cook has angered his neighbours - by allowing his dog to defecate near his Los Angeles home.
The 35-year-old is facing eviction from the home he shares with his girlfriend after his landlord filed a complaint with the courts.
A source tells New York gossip column Page Six, "Neither he nor his girlfriend pick up after the dog. They've sent him three notices so far over the last year warning him he'll be evicted, and they have video. The neighbours all hate him."
But Cook denies he has failed to clear up after his pet, Beast.
His spokesperson Ina Treciokas says, "Dane vigorously denies the allegations in the complaint and is looking forward to complete vindication through the legal proceedings."

Like most everyone else, Tony Romo hears those rumors about how he and Jessica Simpson are getting engaged. And what does he think about what he hears? "I mean, it's just rumors. That's what people say," the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, 27, told People at Monday's Cosmopolitan Fun Fearless Male of the Year Awards – where he was honored alongside Simpson's ex John Mayer and rumored former boyfriend Dane Cook. ("I guess you date Jessica Simpson, that makes you fearless!" Romo joked.) But will there be marriage in Romo's future? "I'm sure I'll get married one day. I donâ.t know when," he says.
