Eddie Murphy's little girl is practically all grown up. At age 19, Bria and her mom Nicole were spotted yesterday stepping out in fierce style, even if it's just grabbing a quick bite at a local eatery. Nicole, Murphy's ex-wife, is still livin' quite grande and it shows, as she and her beautiful look-alike daughter, Murphy's eldest, pull up to the restaurant in a $300,000-plus Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. The Scaglietti is considered to be a supercar, a true performer that literally propels, so it's pretty apparent that Nicole has a need for speed.

Although the mother of five has been divorced from Murphy since 2005, her lifestyle is still the envy of many. Now engaged to ex-football star Michael Strahan (and she has a huge canary yellow diamond ring to prove it), the former model has just recently launched her own jewelry line. Along with business partner Yolanda Braddy, Nicole created Friendship, Love & Peace, a line of necklaces and bracelets designed using beads and other textured, tactile materials.

Nicole helped to create the line so that it has crossover appeal to both genders. Although not currently in department stores, the jewelry can be ordered online and prices range from under $100 and upwards into the thousands.

Take THAT Eddie!

Florida resident Megan Barnes, 37, wanted to be "fresh" and ready for a hot date with her boyfriend. So while driving her car on the heavily traveled U.S. Highway 1 in the Florida Keys, she asked her ex-husband Charles Judy, who was in the passenger seat, to take the wheel while she shaved her private parts.

James Clarence Davis and Sandra Davis, both 36, purchased a 1998 minivan two years ago at a used car lot. Instead of making regular monthly payments for the financed vehicle, they forced their 14-year-old daughter to give the dealership's manager sex.

Creditors are camping out on your doorstep. You break out in a cold sweat every time the phone rings. Macy's, Visa, Shell are all vying for your first born! Why? "Ya got bad credit, man!" But you still need a car, how in the heck do you make it happen? Car, plus bad credit, equals bus pass! Right? Wrong.

A newborn infant was discovered last Friday, naked, lying on a towel on top of the hood of a parked car. The vehicle was parked in front of a senior care center in Edison, New Jersey.

Ballers are making the headlines these days, and the news has been anything but good. The latest shot-caller to make tongues wag is Minnesota Timberwolves Al Jefferson, who was placed under arrest yesterday for a fourth-degree charge of driving while impaired.
