Does Eddie Murphy have a new boo? Well, that’s what it looked like when he was hugged up with his alleged new girlfriend at Banks Nightclub. Word is, she was celebrating her birthday and if you look close, you can see his best friend Johnny Gill was also there for the bash.

In movie news, Eddie is working on the fourth installment of “Shrek” and denied rumors that he would be retiring from the movie business to do stand up again.

MUSIC NEWS: MARIAH CAREY BEGINS RECORDING NEW ALBUM / THE DREAM MOVES ALBUM TO MARCH

Although as much material as possible was pushed out as singles from Mariah Carey’s latest album, E=MC², it seems as though she’s already hit the studio to begin recording music for a new project.

As you may have heard, Mariah is featured on The Dream’s new single, “My Love” from his forthcoming album, Love vs. Money. He was also responsible for Mariah’s #1 single, “Touch My Body.” The-Dream stopped by L.A.’s Power 106 with Big Boy In The Morning, and talked about his new album and the fact that he hadn’t gone to sleep yet because he was up all night with Mariah working on new material for her. Apparently, the two have been cooking up some heat for the new project.

This is pretty interesting. Even though E=MC² didn’t perform as well as Def Jam would have liked, they still managed to get a lot of singles and videos out of the album. It didn’t nearly top the success of Mariah’s Emancipation of Mimi but the new album still got Mariah her eighteenth #1 single, allowing her to top Elvis Presley.

I hope this new album finds Mariah some place differently. I think her mistake was trying to recreate the sound that gained her so much success on Mimi, but she fell a little short because the material wasn’t nearly as strong.

THE DREAM MOVES ALBUM TO MARCH

Speaking of The Dream, it seems as though his sophomore set, Love vs. Money, which was originally slated to release last December, and then rescheduled for February 17th release is being moved to March 3rd.

This change, too, comes right after they switch the single from the Lil’ Jon-produced “Let Me See the Booty,” to “Rockin’ That Shit” to the Mariah Carey-assisted “My Love,” which fans seems to really be liking. Apparently, a video is being shot for the new single soon.
