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.

Here the statement you made:
“Then people call Tracey Edmunds dumb forgetting that she is a Stanford graduate.”
My response was to your speculation on why people call Tracy dumb, so hon’, no reading comprehension needed on MY part. Try again.
I merely replied that her STANFORD education obviously does supply her with good judgement of character or COMMON SENSE. Many here are calling the woman dumb b/c her choice of man is um…DUMB.
I agree with someone said earlier about Black women making bad relationship choices, and unfortunately too many college educated, “successful” sistas do it all the time, end up with a peice of man or no man at all.
Hey, look at Condi “puppet” Rice–prime example.

I’m just sad for the kids in this whole mess,it’s tough enough being a celebrity offsping as it is!…See,that’s why their kids be on drugs and what not, because their parents out there making irrational decisions.Instead of being family people,it’s all about the networking. Career boosters and crap.I mean at what point do they say..”How is this going to effect my children?”…selfish.* Mark my words…Mel B lil girl gonna grow up and give his azz hell…you watch!…LOL!

THE COMMICAL ELEMENT IS NOT THE STORY ITSELF, ABOUT EDDIE & TRACY, BUT HOW EMMOTIONALLY INVESTED SO MANY PEOPLE CAN BE IN A COMPLETE STRANGER’S LIFE! SOME OF YALL FOLKS IS JUST AS CRAZY W/ YOUR P.O.V. AS SOME OF THESE CELEBS DRAMA! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ANGEL & CREW! LOL!

She is one of those Black women who are intelligent and beautifull but SHE ACTS AS IF SHE HAS NO COMMON SENSE what so ever.. It’s a shame how she just all of a sudden is going to get married to Eddie ugly ass….EWWWW….
You should never deal with a man who hasn’t even taking care of his own kids…..Babyface is there Dad and Father. Eddie will neva be that CLEARLY.
This will back fire on her Ten Folds and Karma will roll up on her back door very soon.

Let’s look at the facts:
Eddie had a child with a another woman before he married Nicole. That child he never denied. During the interview Eddie said “we won’t know for sure until a DNA test”. He did not say that is not my baby. He did the smart thing and got a DNA test! We all know some woman get pregnant on purpose to “trap” or make a “relationship” out of a booty call. Why did Mel leave and go back to London in the midst of the relationship/pregnancy if it was all good? I think more went on that she is not talking about. Haven’t we all known a baby mamma that played games with letting a man see his child, then turn around and call him out about not seeing the child?
Something is not right with Mel B and Tracey knows all about it, that is why she is with Eddie. Babyface his spoken highly of Tracey as a wife, mother and business partner. He even spoke highly of Eddie. Come on people, stop making judgements when you have no clue what has gone on. Eddie had never, ever spoken about his personal life in the press and for him to say I want a DNA test means some deep drama went on, I think he caught mel B in the bed in his home with someone else. That is why her but got shipped back to London and that paternity was PUBLICY qusestioned….Think about it

@ 93, Thank you some COMMON SENSE around here!! And what woman on the planet hasn’t made a bad choice in a man at some point in her life? At least Tracey Edmunds made herself enough of “prize” that 2 highly successful men wanted to marry her. Some women in the world have high enough standard to let a brotha’ know I’m no play toy so if you want to hang, you’d better make it permanent.At least that’s the motto I live by. Maybe there wouldn’t be so much Baby Mama Drama in the black community if more black women did the same thing.

Gotdammit!!! Black this, Black that!! Everythang ain’t about race!!! Sheiit, the majority of people can’t pick a decent mate, hence the divorce rate and sinlge parent epidemic.
But on topic, Tracey is using Eddie to break into the Movie Business bigtime, the way she used BabyFace to get into the music business. She is cold as ice…just look at her face. But then again, most men are fooled by a pretty face and nice body.

AMEN to comment 76. Why do we sistas think that a piece of paper means that we have sense? I tell people all the time that a degree simply means that you have fulfilled the basic requirements for a particular specialization or a content area. It does not mean that you have it going on. Too often, educated black women make HORRIBLE decisions when it comes to men, and then once they realize that they have made horrible decisions, they’re through with black men!!!! It’s the truth…Tracy Edmunds has seen the sort of lifestyle that Eddie leads, and the types of decisions he makes, but in the end a degree will not matter when it comes to marriage.

——————————-
No truer words have ever been spoken. Tracey is beautiful, but so is Mel B, and so is Nicole. What makes homegirl think he will be any different. Ok so say she doesn’t get knocked up. But he obviously has issues with honoring his repsonsibilities. Grandma said if don’t come out in the wash it will come out in the rinse.
His true colors (be it the Pflag or whatever) will show up. A man’s past behavior is indicative of his future behavior. I don’t care how great and wonderful and successful you are.

When will Eddie Murphy learn to slow down? It seems he doesn’t take the time to get to know a person before he. He don’t know what to do with himself.
At first I was buying their relationship but it seems very phony. Tracie always got this fake smile/lost look on her face.

Tracy is not naive. She walks into this relationship eyes wide open. Even if they were to divorce–it would most likely be on genuine friendly terms.So interesting how Mel dissaproved of raising her kids within Eddie’s lifestyle, yet Tracy will have no problem exposing her kids to it. Tracy is cold. Eddie’s behaviour toward’s his new baby is cold. They are a match made in heaven.

To know that you have a child out there that yours and not even want to see it. That’s pretty f’n in humane….. it really has nothing to do with the running into the mother because vists could be arranged where he didn’t have to see her…
No longer an Eddie Murphy Fan

Now that he’s humiliated Mel a lil extra with this news, betcha he’ll make a request to see his baybay now. Betcha he asks Mel hoping (or knowing?) she might loose her cool, say HELL NO and thus make herself look bad. Never piss off a control freak.lol

FineFutrDr - are you retarded? The reason why people have problems with Puff Daddy not marrying his ex is that they have about 30 kids together and he treats her like a sideline ho. The reason we criticized Eddie for marrying Tracy is he left his pregnant girlfriend for her (sideline ho treatment, again) and has YET to see his child.
Marrying the homewrecker does not rectify your poor treatment of women.
A real man would NEVER publicly question the paternity of the child his significant other was carrying. He would also NEVER walk out on his pregnant significant other. If he had doubts, he would suck it up (after all, he took definite actions to impregnate his wife/gf), and quietly have the child tested at birth. BY THE WAY, he would also be PRESENT at the birth of the child.
Even if a woman is trifling, and I am not saying Mel B is (I don’t think she is), men who lay down with trifling women need to just pay the consequences because when they try to punish a pregnant woman, they hurt and disrespect the unborn child more than they hurt and disrespect the mother. When people don’t understand this, I question both their morals and their intelligence.

Agree with #76 and #115 yall made some great points, couldn’t of said it better!
This Eddie and Tracey relationship sounds like a “get mine, get yours” thing, Eddie wants to cover up something and Tracey wants her name back in lights since her spilt from Babyface cause without people knowing that she was once married to Face, they have no idea who the hell she is. And his thing with Mel B. is just bad. DNA don’t lie (like Madea said!) so suck it up Ed and pay up! Poor children…all of them… Let’s just see how long this last…

@115 - They say that those who lack the ability to present an intelligent argument often resort to name calling and insults to make their point. You may want to marinate on that BEFORE you flunk the bar, lol. However since you went there…..
It seems pretty obvious by your vehement defense of her in your post, that you’re very familar with the vaginal meaning, purpose, and activities of MelB. And I would ask why a woman would allow herself to get pregnant by a man who is 1) recently divorced 2) already has a football team of kids and 3) is NOT married to her, but I realize that to do so may strike too familiar a chord with either you or someone you care about.
So yeah, it’s quite trifling to not only have a baby under these circumstances but allow yourself to get pregnant in the first place.
As to your argument about Puffy, I’m NOT by ANY stretch of the imagination defending him so what exactly is your point in bringing up that situation? I’m no Johnny Cochran type when it comes to presenting and defending an arguement, but apprently neither are you.
And BTW, original username!

” men who lay down with trifling women need to just pay the consequences”
Just curious, exactly what does this mean? Because it sounds a LOT like being a prostitute with benefits i.e. a 23 year child support check (including college). And you asked if I was retarded? I guess I’d rather sound retarded than sound like a ho.

This is a business deal pure and simple. and i am not mad at them. Eddy has been racking up loads of publicity publicity since dreamgirls and he ain’t ready to stop - even th at baby mess was a publicity stunt to the benefit of both him and mel b. These are no fools here. Tracy has her money and eddy and his. they don’t need each other’s money - matter of fact they don’t need each other’s company. All they need is for us fools to be talking about them. Tracy can get miles of publicity($$$) out of this - who knew her before? end of story - and they all laugh happily on the way to the bank…

Its amazing that so few people in this day in age realize that birth control aka contraception is the responsibility of both the man and woman. Just as women can utilize the pill ,depo shot,patch,etc etc ,a man can also put a condom on his penis. Its really not that hard! I take issue with men who run up in women raw without protection , (trusting that she alone wil handle that) and then scream”DA BYTCH TRAPPED ME” after the fact! Ya see Grown men do grown men thangs ,and if they dont want to impregnate a woman,because they dont see her as worthy of giving birth to their offspring,they do what they must to prevent that outcome. Whatever happened to cause Eddie to have a change of heart towards Mel B I dont know (she doesnt seem to either) but when he was with her ,it was all good,and he didnt seem to have a problem.Then he suddenly hooks up with Tracey Edmonds (Baby Faces ex wife and mother of his 2 sons) and shes the best thang since sliced bread to him. It doesnt seem that he ever broke things off respectfully and in a mature fashion with Mel B! (”yeah yeah I know its all now water under a bridge already traveled but “Im saying”) She basically found out her azz was history through the grapevine and thats f*cked up. He needs to be real clear about what his responsibility is and handle his business like a man.Stop being a f*cking flaming fruity coward and make an effort to see his child.Ok he says he didnt know who fathered “THAT BABY” but not he knows that he is the father and theres no excuse. The baby girl is how old ? A few more months shell be a year,and he has yet to see her? DISGUSTING! All them d*amn kids he has with Ex wife Nicole,and he has no love for another child that is a part of him! I dont understand some of these men. Hope that he plans to be more than a paper daddy (send a fat check and keep his distance type) or even worse an non existant dad that never spends time with his child. If he has time to parade Tracey around on his arm liek a trophey he needs to make time to spend with that baby before she starts callign another man “Daddy” , but then Eddie might like that.It would give him yet another reason to stay away!

Well I do agree that these two definitely are a power couple. Whatever their intentions, good for them. I think they have as much chance of lasting as any other Hollywood couple. At least they’ve both been in fairly long marriages previously. Maybe this time they’ll get it right. Congrats to them!

And is really ok wit it especially after the way he did Scary Spice all dirty? It’s okay Tracey, it’s just a ring, u could go out and buy ur own!
Cuz I’m juss convinced that it’s the ring factor that entices them all a bit too much..

How can they be in lust when Eddie is still lusting after Johnny Gills azz?The only reason that he aint seen as much with Johhny is because tongues are already wagging since his divorce(shyt even before) from Nicole about his under cover dl status!

Tracy Edmonds has gone fucking mental!!!!! Eddie Murphy is giving her drugs just like Bobby did to Whitney. What woman in the right mind would leave cute Babyface for ugly-ass Eddie Murphy-a man who is gay and doesn’t clain his baby. Alwell, God doesn’t like ugly, and He will give Babyface a good Christian woman someday while Tracey will be in rehab next year!
