Eddie Murphy recalls Jennifer Hudson's awkward moment on 'Dreamgirls' set and Beyoncé's quick help
Eddie Murphy has shared a story about Beyoncé from the making of Dreamgirls that he says he has never told before. Speaking on 360 With Speedy, the actor reflected on a candid exchange he witnessed between Beyoncé and Jennifer Hudson on set. 'I did Dreamgirls right when I was getting divorced,' said Murphy, referring to his split from Nicole Murphy in 2005 after 12 years of marriage. 'I was kind of like on automatic pilot, and I don't remember a lot of making the movie.' The 2006 film, based on the 1981 Broadway musical, starred Murphy alongside Beyoncé, Hudson, Anika Noni Rose, Jamie Foxx and Danny Glover. Hudson played Effie White, Beyoncé played Deena Jones, and Rose played Lorrell Robinson. Recalling his memory, Murphy said: 'My Beyoncé memory — and neither one of them knows that I know this — I watched Jennifer Hudson and Beyoncé, they were in between shots, they were on stage, and Jennifer was new in show business and she had, I guess a finger, right between, was ashy, and she was licking her fingers and getting the ash like that.' Murphy added that Beyoncé immediately stepped in, saying: 'Ooh girl, don't do that. I'll get you some cream.' He said the moment passed quietly between them, but he noticed it. 'And this might be the first time I share that with anyone. That's my Beyoncé memory.' Hudson went on to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the 79th Academy Awards in 2007 for her role in the film, which was nominated for eight Oscars in total.

AP That was not all, though, because it also revealed that the 'Crazy Train' singer's daughter, Aimee Osbourne, 41, listed her late father's profession as 'songwriter, performer and rock legend' when she submitted the document to a registry in London. Although Osbourne's family previously confirmed the news of his passing in a statement to The Post, they did not disclose his cause of death. 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,' they said at the time. 10 Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne attend the Pride of Britain Awards at the Grosvenor House on October 30, 2017, in London, England.

The heavy metal pioneer was later laid to rest near the lake of his Buckinghamshire home on Thursday, July 31. More than 100 guests reportedly gathered for the private ceremony – including Ozzy's family, friends, former Sabbath bandmates and other music industry A-listers like Marilyn Manson, Metallica's James Hetfield and Yungblud. 10 Ozzy Osbourne biting the head off of a rubber chicken on April 28, 1982.

'The day was incredibly emotional,' an insider told The Sun last week. 'Pictures of Ozzy were dotted throughout the house, and a photograph of him was given to everyone who attended to take home with them.' 'Ozzy wanted his final place of rest to be at home, and he is buried at a beautiful point on the lake,' they added. 10 Ozzy Osbourne signs autographs on September 10, 2022, in Long Beach, California.

Each of Osbourne's loved ones wore a different item in his honor, and heartbreaking photos from the cortège showed Sharon hugging Kelly and holding Jack's hands as she broke down in tears in front of a memorial for her late husband. 10 Ozzy Osbourne performing with Black Sabbath at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, N.J., on Aug. 4, 2013.

'I honestly don't care what they play at my funeral,' he said in 2011. 'But I do want to make sure it's a celebration, not a mope-fest.' 'I'd also like some pranks: maybe the sound of knocking inside the coffin; or a video of me asking my doctor for a second opinion on his diagnosis of death,' Osbourne added. 'There'll be no harping on the bad times.'
