Eddie Sells Out…Profitably.

For all his Norbit‘s and Pluto Nash‘s, Eddie Murphy does the one thing that the big studios care about: he brings in money! And we do mean money! So much so that Eddie can command up to 20 million for a role in a movie. Hell, he’s getting 10 million alone to do the voice of Donkey in the fourth installment of the Shrek franchise. Wonder what that would equal on a per-word basis? Here’s Eddie yesterday filming a new flick called A Thousand Words along the sandy beach in Santa Monica, California. Eddie was seen riding as a passenger in a golf cart and drinking a bottled beverage.  What’s the deal with his (supposed) new marriage?  Has anyone figured that out yet?
