Tuesday Round-up. Whaa? And Oppps!
First up Whaa!
Thanks Dr. King for being a brilliant, fearless purveyor of what’s right and just because we needed the day off yesterday to recoup from a ridiculously disappointing Sunday of football. But we should have seen this coming years ago. The all-knowing soothsayer, Eddie Murphy did try and warn us of Brett Favre and the Packer’s inevitable loss in his 1988 film Coming to America. Yes Prince Akeem of Zamunda told us what time it was and no one had even asked.
I don’t remember doing it but I must have spent a good deal of my childhood watching this movie because I swear I can quote it more than Some Kind of Wonderful and Dirty Dancing combined.
Back to topic at hand, unfortunately Eddie “Donkey” Murphy did have the gift of future predictions when it came to his recent marriage to Tracey Edmonds. The couple split just two weeks after their non-legally binding wedding ceremony in Bora Bora. People Magazine quotes a source as saying that Eddie was chewing Tracey out at their wedding in front of guests and that it was embarrassing for everyone to witness. “Eddie’s mother felt Tracey was a gold digger, (but she ain’t messing with no broke, broke) says the friend - and Tracey’s mother felt Eddie wasn’t “good enough” for her daughter.”
Also quoteth People, “The mothers didn’t even want to sit next to each other - even to eat - and it led to both sides of the family squaring off.” Oh, that’s harsh. Lori and I have it easy because not only were our moms in a dance troupe together, we can’t get legally married! Wha-whaaaaa.
Now onto a quick Opps
It’s sad when young actors pass away. It’s even sadder when E! News spells a young actor’s name wrong who’s passed away. Good Job E!
