His movies have grossed nearly $4 billion, and now comedian Eddie Murphy says he’s “completely retired.”

“That's when you get these sort of things -- when you're retired,” he told "Extra's" Terri Seymour. “You come out, retired old guy comes out -- I remember the old movies and the old days and the old times. That's what this is!”
Of course, he’s not really retired. Murphy, who attended the Spike TV event with stunning Australian model Paige Butcher, is taking one of his best known film roles and turning it into a television show.
“I'm producing ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ for CBS,” he told us. “Axl Foley's son is going to be in Beverly Hills kicking up stuff.”
Before the big event, Eddie took a trip down memory lane with Seymour on the red carpet, confessing that despite all his success, he still has some regrets.
It turns out he was offered “Ghostbusters” back in the 1980s and feels “like an idiot” for saying no. What else did he turn down? The veteran actor passed on “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” and “Rush Hour” too! “I'm going to start crying if I keep this going!” he said.
Spike TV will air the tribute special on Nov. 14.

That poor arm candy girl. He didn't even acknowledge her. And why did the camera person keep cutting her out of the shot? He was married to a black woman and had a baby with another black woman. Now that he's dating, no problem with a lil variety!
so rob parker, eddie murphy not black enough?
He finally got him a real white wife...I am not surprised.
Sick. This girl will wind up used and abused just like Tiger Woods Wife, sit back and watch.
A cracka ho and her fine upstanding communist masta. Praise Karl. Praise Allah. Praise Obama.
Come on,Retired????...... and do what? He will always be in show biz in one form or another I hope.
There appear to be nothing cute about a old man chasing a young woman thinking this is going to make him feel young. Go get someone your age and leave the children alone. Come on surely you have children her age or something, grow up. They alwasy said there is nothing like a old fool.
Eddie murphy is a good actor i admit. But he seem to like the Spotlight on him. With all those beautiful women it makes him shine. He not a good looking man. so it must be his money
well every body knows she wants the bucks..she find someone who saids eddie played around and she gets half...that show it works famos or not..men get the shaft and the woman get the gold mine...
Watch this one Eddie - have $$$$$ $et a$ide for her $everance pay.
Oh he needs to stop, he's acting like he's 70 or something. He should continue on with the movies and stuff while at his age.
OF COURSE, she white. Most black men have white girlfriends. No surprise there!
I'm confused...The girl on his arm and the girl in the bikini are 2 different women.
Black men love white women, DAMN!
White women love to chase black men, Damn!
