Eddie Murphy To Get Married Again, Just To Be Sure

Remember a couple of days ago when Eddie Murphy got married to his girlfriend Tracey Edmonds in French Polynesia? Yeah, didn't happen.

Yes, we know it looked like it happened, and that everyone said it happened and there was a ceremony and everything, but it wasn't a wedding. Apparently Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds were just performing a 'spiritual binding' that wouldn't hold up in court if Eddie, say, knocked Tracey up, denied the baby was his and then dumped her on a European television programme, for example. However, Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds have announced that they do plan to have an official wedding ceremony just as soon as they return to America - which technically still leaves Eddie long enough to, say, do the knocking up/ denying/ dumping thing. If he wants to, that is.

Eddie Murphy is quite the fan of denying things - he's denied that Mel B's baby was his, he's denied that he left last year's Oscars in a huff when he didn't win and he's denied doing anything to that transvestite prostitute he was caught with in 1997 expect help the poor gender-confused whore out a little.

And now it's Eddie Murphy's turn to deny that he got married earlier this week. Although we reported Eddie Murphy's marriage to Tracey Edmonds on Wednesday, and people witnessed the wedding, and it was announced in a statement by Eddie Murphy, and official wedding photos were taken of Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds, apparently they didn't get married at all.

In fact, what happened was a 'spiritual binding' ceremony that has no legal purchase whatsoever because they'd been in French Polynesia for less than a month and they got married on a beach instead of in a building. But movie producer Tracey Edmonds knew all about this anyway, and she's going to marry Eddie Murphy properly when she gets home, as her slave explains:

"As is typical when couples get married in foreign countries, a legal ceremony will take place when they return to the U.S. The wedding that took place in Bora Bora was a ceremony to bind Eddie and Tracey spiritually in the presence of family and friends. The couple plan a legal ceremony as soon as they return to the States."

We wish we knew what a 'spiritual binding' actually involves, because it sounds really cool. We think it's either a ceremony where you get hair extensions made of ghosts, a public display of everlasting commitment or a sneaky way for Eddie Murphy to try and convince Tracey Edmonds that they're married even though it won't stand up in court at all if he ever decides to knock her up, dump her on TV, deny that he fathered the baby and move onto a brand new woman before he's even finished speaking.

Oh, we're kidding - let's hope that Eddie Murphy has learnt from his past indiscretions and never ever gets Tracey Edmonds pregnant. Because, let's face it, in the last year alone the two of them have been involved in the creative process of Norbit and Who's Your Caddy, and with genes like that no baby stands a chance, really.
