Eddie’s Maxi Me

If only Mel B had been able to get inside Eddie Murphy’s head, she might’ve avoided that whole paternity suit. Now is her chance. Twentieth Century Fox has built a 15-foot, 3-ton replica of his noggin in New York’s Times Square. Adventurous visitors can climb in through his ear.
It’s a publicity stunt for Murphy’s next movie “Meet Dave.” He plays a teensy-weensy creature from another planet who travels around in a human-sized spaceship that’s made to look just like him. When it lands on Earth, hilarious hijinks ensue. Or at least, that’s what the studio would have us believe.
I, for one, would like to know who gave this idea the green light. Can you imagine the crickets after it was pitched?
“There’s this guy, see, but he’s not really a guy. He’s a spaceship. And there’s this little guy that lives inside him that looks just like him. He’s from another planet, and he comes to Earth, and people think the spaceship is really a guy just like them. But it’s not. It’s really a spaceship. Can I have $100 million dollars?”
Does that not sound like the dumbest idea ever? I like Murphy. He’s a talented guy, but it really seems like he’s just in it for the cash at this point. He admitted as much about ‘Beverly Hills Cop III.’
“They said 'this is how much we're going to pay you'. I said, 'Let's go shoot it! I don't care if the script ain't right,” Murphy told Extra.
It’s disappointing. There’s nothing wrong with a star making a bad movie that he truly believed in. But when you fork over your own hard-earned cash for a flick, you hope that the millionaire onscreen worked just as hard to earn theirs.
