Eddie, that ain't called a woman. -
Erin Aside from Dream Girls and Shrek, he hasn't done anything other than don fat suits and look ridiculous. It may well be time to retire before his lack of interest becomes embarrassingly apparent.

Looks like "SNL" alum and "The Nutty Professor" star Eddie Murphy will throwing in the towel. Extra (obviously our favorite news source) got this quote out of Murphy: "I have close to fifty movies and it's like, why am I in the movies?" he said, adding, "I've done that part now. I'll go back to the stage and do standup." As a huge fan of Murphy's earlier, raunchier work (especially his stand up films), this actually sounds like a good idea. But since this is Hollywood, expect a "Norbit ...

Eddie Murphy Would Rather Retire Than Work With Brett Ratner

... script ain't right'"). Admittedly, we can't remember the last time we actually liked an Eddie Murphy movie (Bowfinger maybe?), but wouldn't it sort of be a bummer if he really did quit making them? Wouldn't it be better if he just stopped wearing fat suits and farting? Now that he apparently realizes he's been acting in stinkers for the past two decades, couldn't he just throw his weight behind a decent script for once? Of course he could — he's Gumby, dammit!

Eddie Murphy Considering Retirement Instead of Beverly Hills Cop 4

Eddie Murphy Quashes Retirement Rumors, Talks 'Beverly Hills Cop IV'
Oh No They Didn't! —

The actor apparently quashed that talk when MTV News caught up with him last weekend — at least not until he once again gets a chance to play the tail-pipe stuffing, motor-mouthed cop from Detroit. (A rep for Murphy confirmed that information to MTV News on Tuesday (July 1), saying, "Eddie is not retiring. 'Beverly Hills Cop IV' is in development.") The actor called Foley his ...
