As Divorce turns Ugly, Eddie Murphy gets cozy with Mariah Carey

According to Extra, things may be getting down right dirty in Eddie and Nicole Murphy's divorce and Hollyhood recently spotted Eddie getting cozy with Maria Carey.

Let Hollyhood take you inside for all the juicy details.

The Murphy's split August 5th and Murphy's soon to be ex-wife, Nicole, has been the talk of the town, and for all the wrong reasons. Nicole has been hitting nightspots across town with her beau Alan Daniels. Nicole's behavior with Alan has been shocking. Hollyhood sources have reported a recent scene in a restaurant where she and Alan wanted someone else's prime seat. Nicole reportedly told the occupants of the seat, Do You Know Who I Am? I'm Eddie Murphy's wife! And, they shouted back, Not Anymore! When Nicole travels with her boyfriend, she is often dressed in scandalous clothes (breasts popping out all over), and she and Alan like to make out in public.

Now Eddie is trying to keep his children away and is requesting the court prevent Nicole from having their kids spend time around Daniels. It's the latest move in a divorce battle that could get more than a little testy. And, making matters more interesting, Hollyhood has photos of EddieMariaariah Carey getting cozy at a party and leaving together.



"The big split between Eddie Murphy and his wife Nicole is definitely one of the most monumental Hollywood divorces we've seen in awhile," Us Weekly's Katrina Szish told Extra.

Szish says after 12 years as the epitome of a successful showbiz relationship, there's plenty at stake: "There's tons of property, kids to consider, and when it comes down to it, tons of money."

exactly how much money are we talking here? Eddie's assets include two New York area estates worth $37 million, the couples $10-15 million dollar Beverly Hills home, and the profits from Eddie's movies.

Big screen smashes, including "Shrek," "The Nutty Professor," and "The Haunted Mansion" have earned Eddie at least $115 million in salary alone over the past decade.

The couple does have a pre-marital agreement that Eddie has asked the court to enforce.

"In any divorce situation, the bottom line always comes down to the cash," Szish said. "And in this case, there's plenty of it."

It all adds up to one sticky divorce that could end up as one bitter court battle.
