A Ghostbusters 3 Update!

As we previously reported several months back, Ghostbusters 3 is moving forward. Well, recently we were able to get some more info pertaining to the film, and a little more than what the Los Angeles Times recently reported.

First, let’s get you up to speed; Dan Aykroyd recently spilled the news that the film was moving forward and that Signourney Weaver is apparently on board. Weaver will be joining the cast of Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson.

The other news item that was recently released was the fact that while the Producers intend to bring back the old characters, they intend to introduce new characters to the team, basically a “new generation.” Aykroyd also revealed that the characters he would like to see join the team may be female members, and two actresses he likes in particular are Alyssa Milano and Eliza Dushku.

The news we recently discovered is that the producers are also looking for one more comedian to join the team, someone new, and as we were told “fresh to the scene in the world of comedy.” That person is to be a counter-part to Ernie Hudson’s character, and maybe several more team members, as it looks like the new film will be almost ‘Star Trek-ish’, in a sense were there will be an Academy for cadets to learn how to be the next generation of Ghostbusters, as they learn how to use the neuron splitter and the inter-planet interceptor - new tools that will enable the cadets to slip from dimension to dimension.

Anyway we are left with the thought that there is going to be several new African-American comedian/actors that may be joining the cast, but no word yet on whom the part is intended for.

Nicole Murphy & Michael Strahan Engaged!

We have just discovered through some very reliable sources that Nicole Murphy (formerly the wife of Eddie Murphy) has just gotten engaged to ex NFL star Michael Strahan (who is also just recently divorced from his ex-wife Jean after a two year court battle and losing 15.3 Million to her in the settlement).

All of these events come as a surprise, due to reports that their relationship was in jeopardy because Strahan was caught using a tracking device on Nicole’s car. The same device was said to have been used on Strahan’s ex Jean while they were married. According to said reports, Strahan was apparently suspicious of an ongoing relationship between Murphy and Universal Records A&R executive Demetrius Spencer. The situation finally bubbled up when Murphy took her Range Rover in for servicing at a luxury dealer in California. The mechanics there reportedly found a tracking apparatus in the dashboard. Minutes after the discovery, Strahan allegedly barged into the garage yelling and screaming.

According to reports, following that incident, Murphy and Strahan called it quits. Or so it seemed. Now the couple is definitely back together and engaged, and we are working on finding out the wedding date which has not been set.

Eddie Griffin Is Being Sued!

Famed gossip website TMZ.com is reporting that comedian and actor Eddie Griffin is embroiled in a lawsuit in which he is accused of swindling one of the recipients of a career-building program for college graduates. According to the site, it all started with a $150,000 gift Griffin presented to the "Jamaica 360" program -- which sends 100 African American college grads on a career building vacation to Jamaica. The lawsuit, filed by a man who went on the trip, claims the check bounced.

The man, Samir Sayegh, claims he was then duped into lending Griffin his credit card to cover a hotel bill while they were in Jamaica -- but according to the suit, Griffin took the card and secretly made a $150,000 charge to the main developer of J-360. Two weeks later, Samir got a bill from American Express with the six-figure charge.

AmEx is now suing Samir for the $150,000 charge, and Samir is suing Eddie and all the event developers to make them foot the bill.
