Jennifer Hudson's Eddie Murphy Interview Goes Viral
On Thursday, Eddie Murphy revealed that his son Eric had secretly married Martin Lawrence's daughter Jasmin after four years of dating.
For reference, Eddie and Martin are good friends and even starred in two movies together back in the '90s, but Jasmin previously said that she didn't meet her now-husband through their famous fathers.
She told InTouch Weekly back in 2022: 'My uncle actually introduced us — it wasn't even our dads, and they've done two movies together. They're friends. I don't even know, it's crazy, but we met through my uncle, and, you know, we became really good friends." 'Obviously, we have similar backgrounds, so we understood each other on a certain level, and, over time, it just became more,' she added at the time.
The two got engaged in November 2024, and during his recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Eddie revealed that the lovebirds had blindsided them all by sneaking off to get married in private.
However, host Jennifer Hudson has ended up going viral for her reaction to the news, with the star being heavily criticized for seemingly not listening to her guest during the interview. Alluding to Eddie's talent as a singer, Jennifer started off by asking: 'Are you going to sing at your son's… Or is it your daughter's wedding, right?'
Clarifying that it was, in fact, his son, Eddie replied: 'Actually, they got married, like, two weeks ago. They went off. Everybody was making the big wedding plans, then they decided they wanted to do something quiet, just the two of them, and they got married.'
Referencing Martin, he joked: 'He don't have to pay for the big wedding now!' But Jennifer didn't appear to pay any attention, saying in response: 'Uh oh! Did you sing at the wedding, Eddie?'
'No, they didn't have a wedding!' Eddie explained again, to which Jennifer replied: 'Oh no?''No, they went off and got married in the church; they just had the two of them and the preacher. They had a quiet little thing,' Eddie repeated, before adding: 'I think we'll have a big party or something, they ran off and got married.''OK,' Jennifer said. 'Will you sing then?''Will I sing at the wedding?! No!' Eddie then exclaimed.

Family of Viral Sensation Ms. Shirley Face Backlash for Meet-and-Greet Events
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The family of the viral sensation, Ms. Shirley, a 4-year-old girl who has amassed a significant online following and fan base, has received backlash after hosting meet-and-greet events. Newsweek has reached out to the social media account for Ms. Shirely for comment. The Context 4-year-old LaRiyah Jesireé, aka Ms. Shirley, has become something of a social media celebrity after a video of her doing the "Boots on the Ground" line dance was posted online. An official Boots on the Ground music video was released a few weeks ago, featuring Ms. Shirley. She recently appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show and has amassed a significant following online, with posts on TikTok regularly receiving millions of views. What To Know Meet-and-greet events are common for celebrities, influencers, and public figures. And with more than a million followers across TikTok and Instagram, some may describe Ms. Shirley as an influencer and public figure. Stock image of social media application on the smartphone screen.

A post from the account @CultureRiz, read: "Too far?? Mother of 4 year old viral sensation Ms. Shirley is catching a lot of flack for offering meet and greets with her daughter..." and has been viewed 4.5 million times as of press time. The meet and greets have been described as "odd" and "too much" by social media users, who have said Ms. Shirley's family is "disgusting" for organizing them. One clip, which has been widely shared on social media in connection with criticism from the meet-and-greets, is from the account 803fresh. 803fresh is the musician behind the song Boots on the Ground, and Ms. Shirley is featured in the video for that song. The TikTok from 803fresh has been viewed over 6 million times and appears to have been filmed on the day the music video was shot, not at a meet and greet. It has the text overlay, "I finally met my lil Ms boots on the ground... it's was tears behind those glasses." Despite the backlash, Ms. Shirley has a very loyal fan base, and many social media users have posted supportive messages on her social media profiles in recent days, although they don't directly address the fallout over the meet-and-greets. What People Are Saying One social media user commented on a recent Instagram post on MsShirely's account: "This is such an amazing little lady and she never seems to be bothered by what the world of haters has to say about her and her mother keep on stepping baby and bringing down the house with your beautiful soul." The account @jehnhsushs wrote on X: "people come see a child that's not touching them...I'm very displeased with the parents and the paying customers cause this will ultimately distort/damage this little girls sense of bodily autonomy and security in the coming disgusting..." What's Next In a recent Instagram video on Ms. Shirely's account, she shared that she will be attending the upcoming Positive Energy Tour.
