According to reports published by Entertainment Weekly, famous movie director Bill Condon is currently shopping around an idea for a new biopic about the life of the late Richard Pryor. Actor/comedian Eddie Murphy has been hand picked by Condon to portray the Pryor, who died of a heart attack in December 2005.

Writer/director Bill Condon, who just completed his debut run as producer of the 2009 Academy Awards, is shopping his script Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said? to the studio subsidiaries and independent distributors around town. Eddie Murphy is attached to star. Sources tell EW.com that Fox Searchlight, the studio behind this year’s big Oscar winner Slumdog Millionaire, is interested in the film. The studio, which declined comment, has a relationship with Condon, having partnered with the director on his 2004 feature Kinsey.

Condon, who most recently wrote and directed Dreamgirls, had the Pryor biopic set up at The Weinstein Company but was able to pull it out when the indie outfit put it into turnaround. He initially was hoping to secure $30 million to produce the film, but that number, sources say, has dropped down to $25 million. Murphy, who has featured Pryor impersonations in his act as far back as the 1987 concert movie Raw, seems a likely choice for this role.

MARY J. BLIGE & JAY-Z SUED OVER HIT SONG » R&B soul singer Mary J. Blige and long-time rapper friend Jay-Z are being sued over Mary J’s hit single, “Enough Cryin’” According to the federal lawsuit, which involves allegations of song theft, Jermaine Jumpp and MIchael C. Adams claim they dropped off a CD at Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins’ office, and that CD had a song on it caleld “On My Grind.”

Despite not hearing back from the megaproducer, they say the track appeared on Mary J. Blige’s album, The Breakthrough, as a song titled “Enough Cryin’.” The song, which was produced by Darkchild, later went on to become a single and had a fairly successful run on the Billboard charts.

But hold up … a rep for Tracey Edmonds has come out stating that the marriage between Eddie and Tracey isn’t yet official.

“As is typical when couples get married in foreign countries, a legal ceremony will take place when they return to the U.S.,” says Edmonds’s rep.

“The wedding that took place in Bora Bora was a ceremony to bind Eddie and Tracey spiritually in the presence of family and friends,” according to the spokesperson. “The couple plan a legal ceremony as soon as they return to the States.”

The two exchanged vows in Bora Bora on New Year’s Day, and plan on legally binding the marriage as soon as they hit the U.S.

According to PEOPLE, comedian/actor Eddie Murphy and movie/tv producer Tracey Edmonds are officially husband and wife. It’s been reported that the two got married on New Year’s Day on a private island off Bora Bora in French Polynesia in front of 25 close friends and family.

In a sunset ceremony on the beach Tuesday, Edmonds walked barefoot down the aisle to Gladys Knight’s “Makings of You.” The bride wore a custom-designed form-fitting dress by stylist and designer Sugia Nazel and Jill Baracci, designer and owner of Baracci boutique. Murphy wore a cream suit and vest with an off-white handkerchief. Among the guests were best man Johnny Gill, maid of honor Nicole Avant, matron of honor Julie Lev, as well as Edmonds’s parents Jacqueline and George McQuarn, her brother Michael, Murphy’s mother Lillian Lynch and his brother Vernon.

Edmonds, 40, gave her bridesmaids gold and diamond earrings from XIV Karats in Beverly Hills, and Murphy, 46, gave his groomsmen D.Atlantis watches. The wedding was designed by event designer Colin Cowie, who created a gazebo on the beach made out of 6,000 shells for the ceremony. After the ceremony, guests celebrated at a private dinner and after-party, where DJ Darrin Ebron from Los Angeles kept the guests dancing. The wedding cake was by Sam Godfrey of Perfect Endings in Napa, CA, and featured four layers in whites and cream with handmade sugar cymbidium and dendrobium orchids.

Eddie Murphy recently divorced his wife, Nicole Murphy, and Tracey Edmonds just got through with a divorce from her husband, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. Eddie and Tracey have been dating since last fall, and have been engaged since July.
