Eddie Murphy COVERS November 2011 Issue Of "ROLLING STONE," DISHES On His SNL Feud, Losing The Oscar & Returning To Stand-Up
Eddie Murphy covers the latest issue of ROLLING STONE Magazine where he gives a very rare interview that covers the highs and lows of his career. And also chats about his "SNL" feud and how he really felt about losing the Oscar.
Eddie Murphy rarely does interviews. There are no sit-downs with Robin Roberts, long magazine profiles, and radio is clearly out of thew question, so it's very shocking that he talked to ROLLING STONE this month. His chat is a part of a promo campaign designed to put him back at the forefront of comedy.
With his movie Tower Heist dropping and an upcoming gig hosting the Oscars, the man of the hour has a lot to promote. Here are the highlights from the issue hitting stands on October 28:

With his movie Tower Heist dropping and an upcoming gig hosting the Oscars, the man of the hour has a lot to promote. Here are the highlights from the issue hitting stands on October 28:
On his SNL feud:
"They were shitty to me on Saturday Night Live a couple of times after I'd left the show," he says. "They said some shitty things. There was that David Spade sketch [when Spade showed a picture of Murphy around the time of Vampire In Brooklyn and said, 'Look, children, a falling star']. I made a stink about it, it became part of the folklore. What really irritated me about it at the time was that it was a career shot.. I felt shitty about it for years, but now, I don't have none of that."

I felt shitty about it for years, but now, I don't have none of that."
On losing the Oscar for Dreamgirls:
"Alan Arkin's performance in Little Miss Sunshine is Oscar-worthy, it's a great performance. That's just the way the sh*t went. He's been gigging for years and years, the guy's in his seventies. I totally understood and was totally cool. I wasn't like, 'What the fuck?' Afterward, people were like, "He's upset," and I'm like, "I wasn't upset!" What happened was after I lost, I'm just chilling, and I was sitting next to Beyoncé's pops, and he leans over and grabs me and is like, [solemn voice] 'There will be other times.' And then you feel Spielberg on your shoulder going, 'It's all right, man.' Then Clint Eastwood walks by: 'Hey, guy... ' So I was like, 'It's not going to be this night!' [Mimes getting up] I didn't have sour grapes at all. That's another reason I wanted to host the show – to show them that I'm down with it."

On returning to stand-up comedy:
"If I ever get back onstage, I'm going to have a really great show for you all," he says. "An hour and a half of stand-up and about 40 minutes of my shitty band... But I haven't done it since I was 27, so why fuck with it? But that's just weighing both sides. It comes up too much for me to not do it again. It's like, when it hits me, I'll do it, eventually."

On bringing back Axel Foley:
"They're not doing it," he says. "What I'm trying to do now is produce a TV show starring Axel Foley's son, and Axel is the chief of police now in Detroit. I'd do the pilot, show up here and there. None of the movie scripts were right; it was trying to force the premise. If you have to force something, you shouldn't be doing it. It was always a rehash of the old thing. It was always wrong."

OH SNAP!!! Teacher Accused Of Dragging,
Choking 6-Year-Old Student
Does it get any crazier than this?
A 65-year old school Lousiana teacher was arrested
this week after reportedly dragging a student across the playground while
choking them with a piece of clothing.
She tied my jacket around my neck and she dragged me to the playground to the office,” said 6-year-old Kiya Rogers speaking on teacher Mildred Russ.

The victim's mother recovered the child's uniform at
the police station found with holes and grass stains.
According to little Kiya she may have been in trouble for speaking out of turn.
"I was talking in the classroom, but we started walking to the lunch room," Kiya told local news station WAFB.

The Lady really is a TRAMP! Kim Khardashian files for Divorce!
YAWN!! .As if we didn’t see this coming! After millions of dollars and many hours on E! leading up to their wedding, it's over for newlyweds Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries.
Kardashian filed for divorce today from Humphries, citing "irreconcilable differences," according to TMZ, which has obtained the official documents.
E! mogul Ryan Seacrest confirmed news of the split.
"Yes @kimkardashian is filing for divorce this morning," he tweeted Monday.
Sources tell TMZ that the split stems from a difference in opinion on where the couple was planning to live. Humphries hopes to settle down in Minnesota, while Kardashian wants to stay in California near her family.
The pair began dating in December 2010 and their relationship was chronicled on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," with the season finale capturing Humphries' romantic proposal.

And then came the wedding.
The news of the couple's split comes just 72 days after their highly-publicized wedding, in which close to 500 of their closest friends, family and E! camera crews gathered in Montecito, Calif., on August 20 to watch the reality star marry the New Jersey Nets player.
But things haven't been smooth sailing since their August nuptials. The couple has been busy filming a new season of "Kourtney & Kim Take New York," and rumors have been swirling that all is not well in the Kardashian-Humphries household.

Kim Kardashian has released a statement to E! News regarding her divorce.
"After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage," she said. "I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don't work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best."

However, Kris Humphries has also released a statement to TMZ about Kim filing for divorce -- a fact he reportedly learned via TMZ's initial story.
"I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce ... I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work."
Though Kim Kardashian's family has avoided commenting on news of her divorce today, both Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian have released statements about it on their blogs.
Kourtney writes:"Our sister is going through a difficult time but we"re a close family and are sticking together like always. Kim, we love you. We appreciate everyone’s kindness and support."
It's also rumored that Kardashian had lunch with ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush over the weekend, which just added fuel to the fire
I dedicate this song to Kim and Kris:
A damn WASTE OF money. While people are suffering they spent all this money FOR WHAT?
WHERE IS THE LOVE? T.O. Receives No NFL Love During Recent Practice
Terrell Owens, 38, in jeopardy of not being called
back to an NFL team after tearing ACL 6 months ago.
Either the NFL was playing a really bad trick on
Terrell Owens (T.O.) or that brother’s chances of getting back in after
suffering a major injury is a wash. After tearing his ACL six months ago, he is
already up and running for the new season, but no one showed up to
watch.
That must’ve been a hurtful feeling to look up and see no one. Experts in the game say he may still have a chance, but as good as he may be, he still needs to get faster. If you saw him on his reality show, you know that he has a whole family that he’s caring for with his paychecks and his mother’s house could possibly be in jeopardy. But, he vowed that she wouldn’t lose that house.

According to Sports Illustrated, the workout was
televised at Calabasas High School in California. How embarrassing!....Well he
did get an offer According to Fox Sports, the Arena Football League’s Chicago
Rush stepped up with an offer…since no one else did. They have offered the
NFL’s veteran wide receiver a 2012 contract with them paying the same amount as
the rest of its players…$400 per week.
Right! You know it’s comin’! C’MON
SON!! That’s like offering Michael Jackson a chance to win $100 in an elementary
school talent show. Everyone knows that T.O. has had his share of personal and
professional issues, but $400 per week? Can’t he make that working overtime at
McDonald’s?
This has got to be a prank, but who put them up to
it?

Is Cameron Diaz hooking up with Diddy again? Would you?
Cameron Diaz isn’t hiding out following her split with
Alex Rodriguez. She partied with Sean “Diddy” Combs while closely guarded at
Catch on Monday night. A spy reports, “Cameron and Diddy were surrounded by
security in a private booth.” The two are said to be good friends, and Diddy is
still with his longtime girlfriend Cassie. Also there were Nas, Maxwell, Cuba
Gooding Jr., Brian Greenberg, Lake Bell, Jeff Gordon and NBA star David
Lee.
[From NY Post]
We all know how loyal Diddy is to his “longtime
girlfriends,” but maybe nothing happened there and they’re just two ex lovers
partying together again. Maybe she’s not-so secretly having a romantic
cross-continent hookup with Jude Law. Or maybe she gets around and she’s
unapologetic about it. I kind of admire that. She needs to ditch Goop
though.
Congresswoman Chelsea
Clinton?
Rumours fly as New York Representative considers
retirement from House
Aspirations: It is rumoured that Chelsea Clinton will
run for Congress
Chelsea Clinton is on the verge of launching her own political career with a run for Congress in 2012, it has been claimed.
Chelsea Clinton is on the verge of launching her own political career with a run for Congress in 2012, it has been claimed.
Democratic congresswoman Nita Lowey, 74, has represented New York's 18th district since 1988 but is said to be considering retirement.
The 31-year-old daughter of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former president Bill, is 'actively considering' a Congressional run from New York State, according to the New York Daily News.
Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna said: 'This is 100%
false. She is not running for Congress in the 18th District or any other.'
However in a New Rochelle blog, Talk of the Sound, it was claimed: 'The plan is to identify an open seat for Clinton in or around New York City where she currently resides with her husband, Marc Mezvinsky.

'While no specific district has been determined, New York City and Westchester are said to be the focus with New York's 18th District considered a strong possibility.
'The 18th encompasses much of Westchester County, just
south of where her parents have maintained a home for the past 12
years.'
However State Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs said he has not heard anything about Clinton possibly running.

'She certainly has a star quality to her,' Jacobs
said. 'She would be a formidable candidate. She’s bright, articulate, on top of
the issues. It would be exciting, but I haven't heard it.'
Several Democratic elected officials also claimed to be in the dark about any possible run.

The rumours surfaced as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last week announced that she didn't plan to remain in government after next year's election.
Mrs Clinton says people will just have to 'watch and wait' to see what she does next, but a return to writing and teaching is a high priority.
SNEEK PEAK! Whitney Houston Shines On Set Of ‘Sparkle’

beauty as she posed it up on the set of her new movie ‘Sparkle’, with actor Mike

Starring Jordin Sparks, the remake of the 1976 movie
(loosely based on the story of The Supremes) is also being co-produced by the
‘Million Dollar Bill’ singer.
With filming commencing in Detroit this week, it
appears the diva jumped straight in with the singing scenes. What did those on
cast say about her much-debated vocals?

DMX GUSHES After Fan PRESENTS Him With Roses
Who knew that a bouquet of roses was the way to DMX's
heart? DMX prides himself as a gangsta rapper....but even those types have a
"sensitive" side.
Earl Simmons dropped his "thug" swagger just for a moment as he was spotted leaving the Maxim Magazine party at the Colony in Hollywood.
Earl Simmons dropped his "thug" swagger just for a moment as he was spotted leaving the Maxim Magazine party at the Colony in Hollywood.
Once he was outside, a female fan rushed him and gave
him a dozen roses.
Can't tell if he bought the roses (seeing that there's
money in his hands) or simply received them, but either way, dude seemed real
touched about it.
Then the "pitbull" who usually walks around with a mean mug, let loose a warm and fuzzy smile.
Now that he's sober, maybe we will see a whole new
side of Earl and get his emo-rapper on...
Maybe.

Sarah Silverman to Give Show Called ‘Live from Niggerhead’
Comedians are always trying to push the envelope using
the excuse that comedy is a place where the gloves come off and there are no
boundaries. But, some might feel that the latest show is one of those instances
that just the title of the show is over the top.
According to Color Lines, Sarah Silverman is calling
her next show “Live from Niggerhead” as way to keep politicians like Rick Perry
exposed and not washed up under the rug. Silverman felt that the story of Rick
Perry’s family having the “Niggerhead” ranch was gone from the news a little too
quickly for her. She wants him to remain in the news for his
transgressions.
Silverman is known for her outlandish comedic style.
She often makes fun of the Jewish community (similar to Jerry Seinfeld) and they
are both Jewish. She plans to give all proceeds from the show to the NAACP.
She said Perry and others like him need to remain exposed. We know we Have
short memory spans when it comes to this sort of thing.
Jim Jones the Victim of a Botched Robbery?
We sincerely hope the cameras were rolling, if not,
the back story on Love and Hip Hop is going to be more exciting than the actual
show! Last week in the super trailer for the second season of Love and Hip Hop
there was obvious friction between Jim Jones' manager Yancy and his fiance
Chrissy. The trailer even teased that Chrissy was getting rid of Yancy
Well, Jim Jones got jumped in Harlem and people said
it was Yancy's boyfriend who did it.
Jim, however, spins a different tale...

Jim tells Miss Info
“I was in Harlem, alone, when 3 men stepped to me…well, the first guy, I beat the s—t out of him, then the second guy jumped in with a metal pipe. I was so amped up I didn’t even feel him hitting me with it. I was still putting a beating on the first guy, but when the 3rd guy pulled a gun, I got out of there. I left. Anyone with a brain would do the same.”
Miss Info asked if Jim knew why he was jumped and he said it was probably because of his jewelry. Info asked why was he alone in Harlem draped in jewels and Jim admitted,

As for the rumors that this incident is related to another beef, Jimmy dismissed them and said they weren’t worth addressing.
