They said that Eddie Murphy has been gay for years. Him and old dude from New Edition are supposed to be messing around but EM is supposed to be like a down low brother.
That article (dated March 6, 2006) is about the incident where he was arrested for picking up the transvestite back in 1997 and Murphy's concern that his wife (who was filing for divorce at the time) might use it to her legal advantage in their divorce proceedings. It does not have anything to do with whether or not Murphy is actually homosexual himself, unless you're basing it on the small part where the transvestite says Murphy asked him about his transvestite lifestyle and if he liked to wear women's lingerie (which, when you think about it, would make sense since he's a transvestite).
Sorry If I came as rude Vash, I for one didn't mean to be. However, you are simply taking the word of someone you've never met. Celebrities are fake, in so many ways. I just think it's a bit naive of you to believe this just cause it's what he said.
