Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds' marriage ends

Hello on this Thursday, January 17, 2008. I'm Rebecca Field with your upi entertainment update.

Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds are calling it quits just two weeks after their wedding. In a joint statement the pair tell People magazine they've decided to "forego a legal ceremony." The actor and film executive had a wedding ceremony near Bora Bora New Years Day, but because it was not in the U.S., it wasn't official. Edmonds and Murphy say they've now decided just to stay friends.

Jenna Bush is reportedly planning a spring wedding. Sources tell People magazine the President's daughter will marry Henry Hager on May 10. One source says the ceremony will take place at President Bush's Crawford, Texas Ranch. She's apparently already picked her bridesmaids. Bush and Hager were engaged last August.

The cast of "Mad Money" rang in the opening bell at the NASDAQ yesterday. Katie Holmes, Queen Latifah, and Diane Keaton were all in New York for the special occasion. It's all part of the promotion for their new film. "Mad Money" is about 3 federal reserve employees trying to steal money. It also stars Ted Danson and Adam Rothenberg. The movie hits theaters tomorrow.

"Atonement" is getting high praise from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. It grabbed 14 BAFTA nominations including best film, best lead actress for Keira Kightley and best actor for James McAvoy. The film's director Joe Wright and screenwriter Christopher Hampton also earned nods. The awards will be announced at a ceremony in London on February 10.

Stars are preparing for the release of a new sci-fi thriller. Lizzy Caplan and Jessica Lucas attended the LA premiere of their new film "Cloverfield" last night. Actress Lindsay Lohan also stepped out into the spotlight for the special screening. The movie is about a monster attack taking place in New York. "Cloverfield" is heading to theaters tomorrow.

That's all for now. For more on those stories and all of today's news, go to upi.com.

Eddie Murphy has finally come to his senses! It's obvious Tracey Edmonds is only good as eye candy and rolling around in the sack with. Definite good move by Eddie to end a marriage with her.
