AN OPEN LETTER TO EDDIE MURPHY:
Dear Eddie,
There are a few things going on with you that I have been trying to ignore for quite some time; your corny and boringly bad "family" movies, your shady and "zesty" fashion choices, the tons of pancake make-up you seem to be wearing as of late, your questionable "relationship" with Babyface's ex-wife Tracey Edmonds. I won't even mention that "hitch-hiker" ride incident a few years back.
A film star's personal life should not overshadow his career, even if terrible things are happening, but enhance it. Remember the old adage "even bad publicity is good publicity"? Well, Eddie, you may be the first actor to prove that one wrong. Just when I thought I might take a chance on liking you again after seeing "Dreamgirls" (which, btw, was a very affecting and great perfomance by you) you had to go and permanently screw it up.
You see, Eddie, the whole Mel B./baby thing has made me lose respect for you that will never, ever come back. And I know many others feel the same. No matter what you do, even if it's Oscar caliber, I will always think back to the time you publicly denied your own flesh and blood, without the most basic human decency of discussing it with the mother first, no matter how D-list she may be. And then, to make it worse, kept up the shameful acts until you were forced to get a DNA test.
See, the "ride" thing, though a huge scandal, really did make you more interesting. This scandal just makes you seem low and pathetic. And, might I add, pretty despicable. If you would like some advice, please lay low for the rest of your days, and maybe, just maybe, someone will actually want to pay to see one of your movies again with a clear conscience.
Sincerely, Invisible Woman
To all the D.C. folks out there (where I am now visiting) your city has flavaaaah!
