Eddie Murphy reveals his son and Martin Lawrence's daughter are officially married: 'We're in-laws'
Eddie Murphy's son and Martin Lawrence's daughter have made it official: Eric and Jasmin are married and their famous dads are now in-laws. "Actually, they got married, like, two weeks ago," Murphy tells his Dreamgirls costar Jennifer Hudson on Thursday's episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show. (See the conversation in the clip below.) "They went off.... Everybody was making the big wedding plans, and they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them." Murphy confirmed that he and Lawrence, his costar in projects such as Boomerang and Life, are now related by marriage. "Yeah, we're in-laws," he said. "And he doesn't have to pay for that big wedding now." The Coming to America star, who's a father of 10, had famously planned to have Lawrence pick up the tab on Eric and Jasmin's nuptials. (Lawrence is the father of three daughters.) "Well, Eddie said I gotta pay for it," Lawrence said in December 2024 on iHeartRadio's Big Boy's Neighborhood. "He said I gotta pay for it, 'cause he paid for his last daughter's wedding — like the last six weddings — but he said it's my turn now." Eric and Jasmin began dating in 2021, and they announced their engagement in November 2024. When Hudson asked whether Murphy had sung at the wedding, the "Party All the Time" artist shut her down. "No, they didn't have a wedding. They went off and they got married at the church. They just had the two of them and the preacher," Murphy said. "They had a quiet little thing. So I think we'll have like a big party or something." So will Murphy sing at the celebration? He joked that he and Lawrence might do a also hoping for a more professional reunion with the Bad Boys franchise star. "There's a bunch of ideas that we have," he said. "There's one thing: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. It's a movie from the ʼ60s. I want to remake it and do with all the funniest, like a who's who of Black comedy. That's what I want to do. And, of course, Martin would be in that." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Jennifer Hudson slammed for being a 'garbage interviewer' as awkward Kesha exchange leaves fans cringing
Jennifer Hudson was slammed for being a 'garbage interviewer' over her awkward exchange with Kesha on her talk show. Since she launched her daytime series in 2022, Jennifer, 43, has repeatedly drawn brickbats for her stilted conversations with her celebrity guests. She left fans scratching their heads at her cringe-inducing interviewing tactics yet again when she found herself face-to-face with Kesha this week. Kesha excitedly shared that she had been an extra in Dreamgirls, the 2006 movie that catapulted Jennifer to stardom and won her an Academy Award. After reacting with what seemed like exaggerated shock, Jennifer neglected to do anything to push the topic forward - not even asking what scene Kesha was in. Fans flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to share their wincing reactions to the moment, calling Jennifer a 'weird' and 'TURRIBLE interviewer' and the show 'unwatchable.' On the show, Kesha said: 'I was an extra on Dreamgirls,' and Jennifer replied with extravagant theatricality: 'What? Really?' 'Serious, Bible,' said Kesha, putting her hand up, before quipping that she was paid about $120, to which Jennifer threw her head back and said: 'I love you.' Kesha valiantly tried to keep the anecdote afloat, saying: 'For 16 hours I sat there with my hair teased to the gods. Oh my God, I - no offense - I hated it.' The TikTok hitmaker still received no help from Jennifer in keeping the conversation moving, so she lamely trailed off: 'Y'all were amazing, we were just - an extra in a scene, it was a big auditorium, downtown LA.' Viewers let out a collective groan at the toe-curling chat, with one tweeting: 'I was talking about this to my friend last night! She p***ed me off so bad. Literally got nothing from the interview and I know Kesha was thinking this lady is weird asl.' 'I respect jennifer hudson so much but she is the worst interviewer ive ever seen have a talk show...,' wrote another: 'and her spirit tunnel, egot, and production team are what keeps that show on air- not her actual talking on the show.' 'How do you not ask what scene?!' another exclaimed as still another marveled: 'she's such a garbage interviewer omg.' 'You wouldn't have even known JHUD was in the film based on this interview... oof!' wrote on exasperated fan on social media. 'YES! This is how all of her interviews go on this show,' wrote another. 'It's completely unwatchable. It's like watching NPC convos in a game.' Dreamgirls was adapted from a 1981 Broadway musical of the same name, which itself was loosely inspired by the real story of The Supremes. The 2006 movie featured a formidable cast including Beyoncé and Jamie Foxx, but it was Jennifer's supporting performance that won the Academy Award. She delivered what has become a definitive rendition of the musical's central showstopper, the romantic power ballad And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going.
