Eddie Murphy is divorcing!

“I’m coming out – I want the world to know – got to let it show --”

I don’t usually care about celebrity divorces, but this one saddens me. There are five or kids involved. No doubt they will be well taken care of financially, but I know firsthand how wrenching it is when your parents split up. I doubt that being rich makes it less painful for the children.

To elaborate on my cryptic OP: do you believe this divorce lends any credence that Eddie Murphy’s on the DL?

I don’t know the meaning of “on the DL,” so I have no clue whether Eddie might be on it or not. :confused:

Hughley?

The Disabled List?

(That’s what sportscasters always mean when they refer to “the DL”.)

Oh… dear… God… you guys are so white! I’ve posted here since 2000! Haven’t you guys picked up on anything from me??? Haven’t you heard about Terry McMillan’s divorce??

On the DL = on the down low = closeted homosexual/bisexual who does divulge his homosexuality to a female partner.

On Preview: tracer? Okay – I must be being whooshed.

Good one. Y’all had me going for a minute there.

Yeah, I’d heard that before (although I didn’t know the part about divulging), but DL Hughely was on TV.

I got it. :wink: Although I heard the phrase in a magazine, not from you, identified as a term black gay guys use.

Link?

I don’t get it (which, in my case, is not unusual). Maybe I’ve missed some gossip about Eddie Murphy. In what way does “celebrity couple are divorcing” lead to the speculation “celebrity husband is gay”???

Well, he was caught with a transvestite hooker a few years ago…

OK, thanks. I didn’t know. I guess I lead a sheltered life.

Oh man…now she’s gonna take half his shit.

Well, he said he was only giving her a ride

:dubious:

you mean… you’re black???

:smiley:

A moustache ride?

pinkfreud. Well, there’s a visual I didn’t need.

I can get over being jealous as hell I didn’t type this first to admit that this reference? BEST. QUIP. EVER.

But if there is one celebrity that was pretty much guaranteed to have a prenup, it’d be Eddie.

Oonfufu, you’re next.

Well, Jesus, of co… (pauses abruptly, looks at palm, confused. Checks out the backhand side) …urse I am!
