Defamer
We regret to inform some of you (and are thrilled to inform some others) that a stunning reversal of romantic fortunes has befallen Oscar-jilted comedy superstar Eddie Murphy: A mere two weeks after what by all accounts was said to be the tropical fairy tale wedding to end all tropical fairy tale weddings, the Shrek Goes Fourth star (yes, it's coming, don't even try to escape) has announced that his legally-binding-only-in-Bora Bora marriage to girlfriend Tracey Edmonds has already come to an end:
"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." [...][A]ccording to a source, the honeymoon got off to a rocky start.
"Eddie started yelling at Tracey in front of people," says one of Edmonds's wedding guests. "He did it on a few occasions and it was very embarrassing."
We can't say we didn't see this coming: With his last romantic entanglements having resulted in messy, expensive divorce and the knocking up and eventual abandonment of Melanie "Spongy Spice" Brown (to say nothing of the sweet-faced, lift-needy Samoan streetwalker who got away), by the time Murphy got to his Honeymoon Suite, he was already lugging behind him some extremely heavy baggage.

Isn't "splitting up" also "defining" a relationship?
Awww. Well they gave it a good try anyway.
I wouldn't expect this type of behavior from a Good Samaritan.
Justice Served.
That's what you get when you beard Eddie Murphy, a known abandoner of babies and wives, not a year after ending your 11 year marriage to Babyface. Why the hell would Tracey think marrying Eddie was a good idea? Afterall, there's the hooker we know about (of course there were others), his ego, and his Maury Povich inspired parenting skills. "Spongey Spice"? No, no, no! Amen to Scary for publicly calling Eddie on his "not the father" shit. And while I love Dreamgirls, his Oscar snub was punishment for his being an asshole. And for making Norbit.
Two week itch?! Maybe he needs Simon's NuOdor ball cream
"Thenk you veddy much"
Guess Tracey didn't get the memo about Eddie liking women with penises.
You give good headline, Seth.
Oh help us all, a Shrek 4.
My favorite part of the Victoria Beckham special was when he who shall not be named asked her if there were any celebrities she didn't like, and without hesitation she answered, "Eddie Murphy."
"Celebrity marriages -- they never last."
Donkey, SHREK
I thought that only happened to people who married Dennis Hopper?
It took me longer to finish a Godiva box of chocolates. Sheeesssshhhh!!!!
and gays are the assholes destroying the sanctity of marriage?
er, excuse me, "symbolic union."
Wish I could have done that a couple of times, myself.
@raincoaster:
Dennis Rodman.
We awoke from our dream, things are not always what they seem.
@Nomi Malone: Yes they are. They're named Eddie Murphy.
He and Johnny Gill will never be broken up.
As not all rectangles are squares, not all homosexuals are gay.
Like the Crying Game for him only he saw a vajheen.
Hmph.... Johnny Gill was NOT having that trick take up his personal time, hahahahah.
From the IMDB page for Shrek 4:
Eddie Murphy ... Donkey
Antonio Banderas ... Puss in Boots
How do they know these things? Spooky.
Maybe they just needed a new toaster.
I do believe a Shrek 5 has also been slated for production.
Divorce; children he denies having, marriages that aren't really marriages; friendships that ended abruptly; car rides with people who can't (or won't) be found; refusal to acknowledge his years with SNL; acting roles in animated films or under thick globs of makeup: I think the real issue here is that Eddie Murphy may no longer believe in his own existence and is disavowing all evidence to the contrary.
