Eddie Murphy Wants To Play James Brown!




According to Panache'...................Eddie Murphy is hoping to give director Spike Lee an easy solution to his search for a movie James Brown-the soul legend always wanted the actor to play him in a biopic.

Murphy, who picked up a Screen Actors Guild Award for his portrayal as Brown-esque James "Thunder" Early in "Dreamgirls," on Sunday night, insists Lee should look no further for the perfect Godfather of Soul-it's him.

The "Shrek," star says, "James Brown said to me years ago, 'If they ever do my life, you got to play my story.' "I said, 'James, if I do you, people will be laughing.' (He said) 'They ain't gonna laugh if you don't try to be funny.'"

But Murphy accepts he might be too old to play Brown in his heyday: "I couldn't do James Brown now until he got to 40, 'cause I'm 45. I'll be 46 in April and I'm not doin' no splits and no s**t like that, and rippin' my a** out tryin' to make no movie. The split days are gone." Lee announced recently he is on the hunt for an actor to play James Brown in a biopic he's making with top producer Brian Glazer.

She explains, "It kind of started with Smokin' Aces, because I was training in a way that I'd never trained before. "I just kind of woke up and thought, 'I want to run a marathon.'

Brandy Involved in Fatal Traffic Crash



LOS ANGELES - R&B singer Brandy was involved in a four-car freeway crash last month that left a 38-year-old woman dead, authorities said Wednesday. The cause of the mishap was under investigation, and no arrests have been made.

The 27-year-old actress-singer (full name: Brandy Norwood) was driving a 2007 Land Rover on the 405 Freeway on Dec. 30, when the collision occurred. She failed to slow down and struck the back of a 2005 Honda at about 65 mph, according to a California Highway Patrol report.

The Honda driven by Awatef Aboudihaj, 38, hit another vehicle and then slid sideways before it struck a center divider, the report said. Aboudihaj's car was then hit by an oncoming car driven by 50-year-old Mallory Ham, the report said. Aboudihaj was taken to a hospital, where she died of blunt-force injuries, said county coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey. The coroner's office ruled her death an accident. Ham also was taken to a hospital where she was treated for moderate injuries.

Brandy was not injured, and she wasn't under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash, said her publicist Courtney Barnes.

"She wishes to publicly express her condolences to the family of the deceased," Barnes said.
