ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST: EDDIE & TRACEY ENGAGED
Sunday, July 29, 2007

PHOTO BY: Chad Buchanan
According to Entertainment Tonight, EDDIE MURPHY and his girlfriend of 10 months, TRACEY EDMONDS, 40, are engaged. Oh lawd! Here we fucking go again.
According to OK! magazine, the 46-year-old Murphy 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.”
As we all know both of them come from failed marriages. Tracey was married to singer KENNETH “BABYFACE” EDMONDS for 13 years before they split and Eddie was married to NICOLE MITCHELL for 12 years before they split. Both have children from their previous marriages, and Eddie had a child with singer Melanie “MEL B” Brown. Word is he hasn’t seen the baby yet. How grand.

Wow! How dare she reward his total disregard for responsibility by staying in
a committed relationship with him, let alone say ‘yes’ to his proposal. It seems
she very business-savy, but has no idea on how to choose a man!!

I want to see how many will unfairly bash this man on here. Don’t hold back. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
Because, as sure as Eddie is no angel, i know that Tracy nor MelB are angels as well.

I believe Tracey is a business women first and foremost. I’m guessing she has something up her sleeve, because Eddie’s not the hottest item to be touching right now, but he sure as hell aint worthless. Money wise, anyway.

Oh boy here we go…But I just read on MSN that they weren’t engaged though. Anyway, both Eddie and Tracey are biz gurus so they better know what they are doing. Eddie’s has been around forever and I love him, but I hope this works out and if that baby is his he handles his biznass. And please don’t bring all that Diddy post drama in here. Dayum let it go!!

@lavi…What exactly are saying?…Is Tracey conniving? is she trying to manipulate the situation? Can you please restate your statements without the flowery rhetoric…go straight to bone.
@ Moxpoe…how can you be dumb and own a successful studio? You forget, from the relationship with BabyFace, she made out pretty good, even though she admitted she never love BabyFace in a romantic sort of away. She doesn’t come off as a dumb woman…
So, i think you use the wrong adjective to describe this woman…so go back into your vocabulary bank and come up with a better word. And before you go regurgitating some nonsense…take your time and examine the issue.

What the hell is going on?
Eddie, it’s ok. We know you don’t want to comprimise you and Johnny Gill’s relationship “How You Doin?”.
We understand marrying Tracee will make people forget about you and Johnny so you can be together.
But no! There will probably be 2 more “Shrek” movies but come on!!!
Let your cat out of the bag and let it hit the fan already!!!

I will say this and leave this shit….
i have a problem with people that hear something in the press and runs with it. I have a problem with people that cannot analyze an issue and come up with a plausible explanation. I have a problem with people who can’t admit to the truth. I have a problem with people that are easily persuade by public opinion.

I can’t see them making it to the alter. They always seem so fake. They simply pose for the camera’s together but they don’t seem really affectionate. Babyface is probably somewhere crying the blues.

Dats_Da_Truth - She. Is. A. Business. Woman. That’s what I’m saying. She knows what the hell she’s doing, getting engaged to this dude.
For instance, when she got with Babyface, did she sit around and play trophy wife? No. She got on them connections, became a wealthy business woman. Don’t know this chick, and if she love Eddie for Eddie, I’d be shocked as hell. But IMO, this is business.
And before you come back saying whatever it is you say, remember, that’s my opinion, and no one knows this lady. But hey, they are in the spotlight, this is a blog, and story posted up here is up for speculation.

@LAVI….so, Is that what we are calling it now…Business?
And to the guy in shades, posing like he is EnVogue ….i seriously doubt you are a heterosexual male. No heterosexual male would be interested in another man’s sexual life like you seem to be.

angry black men posting on the blogspot is funny. who said tracey didn’t ever love babyface? did you hear that in the media somewhere and ran with that? not able to analyze things for themselves, realizing he doesn’t know these people? you are trying to be a bully on here and you need to cut it out. you keep saying you’re out, but then keep posting and insulting everyone on here. woman hater - and then have the nerve to try to insinuate about someone else’s sexuality. so quick to hate on a black woman. you are an insecure parasite on this blog. call me whatever you want but you are an annoying, bitter little man and you need to get some counseling.

No self-respecting woman would date let alone MARRY a man who deosnt even make an attempt to see/take care of his own felsh and blood.
So I agree with everyone else, she’s either
1) dumb
2) looking to cash in.

# 3 I totally agree with you! There’s no way that I would make a life-long commitment to a man that showed such disrespect to the possible mother of his child (Mel B) and tried to dodge parental responsibility like he did. He was a total jerk for that and I could in no way respect him or support that. I don’t know what she’s thinking and I don’t see this marriage lasting long at all.

MAYBE they do love each other. MAYBE he is gay or bi- and she’s down with that. MAYBE she straps it on and takes him for a ride up the Hershey Highway. MAYBE they both love it. MAYBE he’s thrilled to have found a woman that gets what he’s about…freaky or otherwise. CLEARLY with 5 kids and one on the way, the man does not have a problem with pussy. SO, what’s the big, fucking deal?!

I don’t know who is the bigger idiot in this? Tracey or Eddie? Eddie will lose another half
when they divorce, and Tracey has gotta be an all around idiot because she doesn’t
need his money.
Like I’ve akways said, black women are thee worst judges of character in their mates.
Soon she’ll be crying the Mary J Blige victim song…LOL

this one is easy

Tracey dont want him she wants her name attached to his for busniess reasons. She aint slick. Eddie would want to step back and evaluate before he jumps into yet another relationship. Personally I could not marry a man that refused to have contact with a child that he knows is his. But it is nice that she can over look the whole tranny luving thing. Hey if they like it, I love it.

if he is engaged to her that is just plan trif. she is stupid to marry a brotha who did not want to own up to what he did. she is too damn old to be with a man who does not want to take responsibilty for laying up. that is a decision stupid young girls make because they think that their stuff is all that. i bet ole tracey thinks it’s cute that eddie left mel b and mel had his baby but now he is with her. i can just imagine the ego trip tracey is on now. she saying ‘ha i am the better woman” i hate to tell her it ain’t going down like that. she is going to be ass out sooner not later. i hope miss tra got those tubes tied because eddie is a baby maker. eddie needs to go see his daughter. isn’t funny how the baby was born on eddie’s birthdayl ??lol see god don’t like ugly.

This doesn’t come as much of a surprise. She didn’t seem to show much interest in the paternity case so it shows that she’s devoted to him lol. I think dating is different when you are a little older, you don’t dance around or avoid the shitty characteristics that you have because at this point you are comfortable with who you are. 40s bring a kind of a confidence, the they are both wearing vibrantly. Its great that they found love or a business/love relationship but I think it sucks that he hasn’t shown much interest in this new child. Who knows what is said behind close doors, but Tracey shouldn’t stand or support this kind of behavior. Eddie has money, he has no excuse for not taking responsibility.
Let’s see how long this lasts….he doesn’t seem like he needs/wants to be married….but he did ask….so maybe things aren’t as they appear. And is she just there for some public attn, I mean we knew who she was but she’s definitely blown up while dating Eddie…Only time will tell.
55.
ThinkAboutIt
Sunday, July 29, 2007 /
At first I was thinking that there is something very odd about Eddie’s behavior these past 12/18 months… but he may be the type of guy who has to have a woman and who wants to be married. It wasn’t that long after his divorce that he hooked up with Mel B. and certainly not long after Mel B. [like about 3 minutes] that he was with Tracy.
I think he needs a certain type of woman and Mel B may have been a little to strong for him - Tracy and Nicole [though they both have their own careers] seem fine playing the background with him.
There is, however, - no excuse for not acknowledging your own child.

Personally,I wish Tracey and Eddie all the best. I also feel that some of the comments here are plain ridiculous. People critsize Diddy for NOT marrying his woman and Eddie for WANTING to marry his. As for those comments about him not wanting to see his daughter, that’s one sided info from Mel B. After being embarrassed by Eddie challenging the paternity of this child, which he should have considering this was obvioulsy a “hit and quit it” relationship,what do you expect her to say. Not to mention the fact that we don’t know if Mel B purposely got pregnant to trap Eddie and let’s not front, we ALL know stories like that. Furthermore, with full custody of the child, he can only see the baby when SHE allows it. Then people call Tracey Edmunds dumb forgetting that she is a Stanford graduate. For the uninformed, Stanford is one of the best universities in the US, not to mention her business skills.
Why can’t people simply be happy that Eddie, a successful black man in Hollywood, is marrying successful Sista’ in Hollywood?

Good for Tracey and Eddie, maybe they are the type of people that can’t be single, they have to have someone, well I know that’s the case for Eddie. He looks very uncomfortable being in public since he is so reclusive (says his ex wife Nicole). Warning to Tracey, if Eddie can quickly deny his own child what do you think he’ll do to you? The good news is they were in long marriages, the bad news for Eddie Tracey likes to go out and make deals. Will it last, who knows.

#63–SO WHAT Tracey attended Stanford? Since when does having booksmarts equal common sense? Having cleared THAT up, I think Tracy is just DOES have common sense and knows exactly wtf she’s doing, but it will backfire on her chipmunk cheeked ass.
Now granted, Mel is a dummy herself for being the opportunist she is and getting knocked up on purpose. But Tracy’s situation is a bit more sheisty. She knows wtf went down with Mel and that baby and still chooses to be w/ an ass like that.
The b!tch is up to something.

@68 - I wasn’t addressing Tracey not having common sense. As a matter of fact, I don’t recall anyone mentioning that but YOU and where I come from, that’s called reading comprehension or in this case, the lack thereof. I think would take a LOT of smarts AND common sense to graduate form Stanford, run a business, AND be a wife and Mom.
Ya know, black women are a trip and a half. I have yet to see a majority of the posts in threads about black women be positive. Gimmie a break! Tracey edmunds is educated, has her OWN career AND money yet the criticism? Would you all have been happier if she were white trailer trash?
@Paula, I think you’re right, being in your 40’s does bring about a ton of confidence!
