It appears that Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds have called it quits after trying to two long weeks to make it work! Maybe it was just publicity, either way they made this statement to People.com:
“After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further,” Murphy and Edmonds tell PEOPLE in an exclusive statement. “While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends.”

Biggie’s life will be made into a movie titled, ‘Notorious,’ as many of you may have heard. Last year it was rumored that Sean Kingston would play young Biggie but a statement was issued saying that was untrue, that they still had not chosen an actor for that part. Well now AOL is reporting that Angela Basset is set to play Voletta Wallace, Biggie’s mom.
Sources close to the forthcoming biopic, ‘Notorious,’ the life story of late rapper The Notorious B.I.G. (real name: Christopher Wallace), tell me that Oscar-nominated actress Angela Bassett (‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’) has been cast to play the late rapper’s mother Voletta Wallace. Bassett, who’ll next star in ‘Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns,’ is apparently the first officially person cast in the George Tillman Jr.-directed feature film.
We will stay tuned to see the rest of the cast. Angela Bassett could be playing a tree and I would watch.
