  1. Eddie Murphy was a brilliant young comedian on SNL and I met him in a recording studio in the the early 90s in Los Angeles because he had some odd record deal, even though he couldn't really sing. I think he had one hit novelty song. He went everywhere with a huge entourage and every time he said anything, even if it was just, "what time is it?", his group would laugh hysterically as if he made a hilarious joke. I don't know if he liked it or wanted them to, but everything he said had this laugh track. It was like a parody of a famous comedian! Later that week he gave a pool party at his house in Benedict Canyon, and my friend and I were invited. I wanted to see the house because it had belonged to Cher and been covered by Architectural Digest. It was beautiful. We drove up there and it was a total madhouse! There were a couple hundred people pushing and trying to get in while the security guys checked names to make sure they were invited. We stood in a line for a couple of minutes, and then decided it was ridiculous to wait in line to go to someone's house, so we left, going back to the studio. We walked into the kitchen to to get a drink and Eddie Murphy was sitting at the kitchen table. He wasn't at his own party! We were like, "do you have any idea what is happening at your HOME?" He didn't care. His brother was there and some other family, but he didn't want to deal with it. That, to me, was the epitome of the Hollywood lifestyle. Spend a zillion dollars on a world famous house, give huge parties, and sit by yourself in a record studio kitchen while strangers ransack your expensive property. The people around him struck me as grasping and fawning and he seemed incredibly lonely. It wasn't long after that his career died and his personal life went out of control, kids all over by different women, being taking him to court over paternity and child support. I think he had 8 or 9 kids by different women, and they ALL sued. His record was never even released, as far as I know, and his acting career dried up a year or so later. He had such a great start, but I think his fame was like a tigers tail, he couldn't hang on, it was too crazy.
