Hollywood icon Eddie Murphy received the esteemed Cecil B. DeMille Award at this year’s Golden Globes ceremony. The actor, comedian, and previous Golden Globe winner accepted the honor Tuesday night, presented by Tracy Morgan and Jamie Lee Curtis, thanking the HFPA, as well as his partner, Paige Butcher, and his 10 kids – Eric, 33, Bria, 33, Christian, 32, Myles, 30, Shayne, 28, Zola, 23, Bella, 20, Angel, 15, Izzy, 6, and Max, 4 – for their “love, support, and inspiration.”

“I’ve been in show business for 46 years, and I’ve been in the movie business for 41 years. So this has been a long time in the making,” he said. Murphy kept his acceptance speech brief, jokingly saying, “I could literally stand up here and keep saying ‘thank you’ till they play the piano.” However, he did leave a word of advice for other stars – and concluded with a hell of a punchline.

“To all the new up-and-coming dreamers and artists that are in the room tonight, I want to let you know that there is a definitive blueprint that you can follow to achieve success, prosperity, longevity, and peace of mind,” he said. “I followed it my whole career. It’s very simple, it’s three things, just do these three things: pay your taxes, mind your business, and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out your f*cking mouth!”

According to Variety, the Cecil B. DeMille Award has been presented to honorees since 1952, acknowledging talented individuals for their “outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment.” However, the award wasn’t handed out last year as the Globes were boycotted by talent, media, and creatives over a lack of diversity at the HFPA (at the time, it didn’t have any Black members) and other issues.

Murphy now joins past awardees who include Jane Fonda (2021), Tom Hanks (2020), Jeff Bridges (2019), Oprah Winfrey (2018), Meryl Streep (2017), and Denzel Washington (2016). And his honor couldn’t have come at a better time as the 61-year-old star is stepping back into his acting bag for Netflix’s “You People” rom-com, directed by Kenya Barris, which stars Jonah Hill, Nia Long, Lauren London, and other familiar faces. Murphy’s next film project was also recently announced: a forthcoming Prime Video holiday flick titled “Candy Cane Lane,” which he’ll star in alongside Tracee Ellis Ross.

To many, Murphy is beloved for his iconic filmography that includes everything from the Beverly Hills Cop, Nutty Professor, and Shrek franchises to classics like “Coming to America” (which got a sequel in 2021), “Boomerang,” “Harlem Nights,” and “Dreamgirls,” which earned him a best supporting actor Oscar nomination and Golden Globe. Most recently, the icon starred in 2019’s “Dolemite Is My Name” as Rudy Ray Moore, another feature that earned him a Golden Globe nod.

Between his legendary comedy and acting talents, Murphy is, indeed, an icon deserving of his latest honor. Watch his Golden Globes speech ahead.

Polite Dog Learns To Wipe Her Mouth After Drinking in Hilarious Video

by Leave a Comment

A dog named Mini has left the internet in stitches after a video of her learning how to wipe her mouth after drinking water went viral on social media.

The video, shared on TikTok in November by the dog’s owner under the username Tiny_and_mini, shows the 1-year-old Great Dane drinking water from her bowl and then wiping her mouth with a mat that her owner placed in another bowl, as instructed.

Wiping her mouth after drinking. Making great progress on Day 2. I’m WAY overdue in teaching my Great Danes to do this. If your life is blessed with these magnificent beasts or other SUPER messy drinkers, you know what your floor looks like after each and every drink and wonder if any of the water actually got in their bellies. #greatdanelife #greatdanemoments #greatdanetraining #greatdanesoforangecounty #greatdane #greatdanesoftiktok #training #dogtraining #goodgirl #mommasgirl #fastlearner

In the caption, the dog owner explained: “Wiping her mouth after drinking. Making great progress on Day 2.” She explained she was way overdue in teaching her dogs to do this, as they are “super messy” drinkers.

“You know what your floor looks like after each and every drink and wonder if any of the water actually got in their bellies,” she said.

Great Danes drool more than most other breeds due to their facial composition, according to the Great Dane Care blog. This is because their square jaw and loose lips are not well suited to containing drool, and the folds in the skin allow it to pool and easily run out of the mouth. The worst drooling often occurs immediately after eating, drinking, or exercising.

As tall as 32 inches at the shoulder, Great Danes are taller than most other dogs and when standing on their hind legs, they are taller than most people too! Their coat comes in different colors and patterns, perhaps the best-known is the black-and-white patchwork pattern known as “harlequin.” Despite their sweet nature, they also make great alert home guardians.

The video first shared in November has since gone viral, receiving over 9 million views and 840,000 likes so far.

One user, Haleigh Louise, commented: “Omg I’m in love with this. thank you so much for the idea! Definitely will be trying this!! Do you have a ‘how to’ video?”

And Butterfly Kiss Crochet said: “That is awesome. I have a Great Dane and he soaks my floor then wipes his face on my pants.”

Another user, Lydelia Moon, wrote: “My sister had a Great Dane once. She taught it to wipe [its] feet before it came inside. It would wipe the fronts [than] the backs.” And Amber said: “This horse is so well-mannered.”

Jess joked: “Whoever said ‘you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink’ was wrong!” And Alana said: “What a fantastic idea!! I have a very sloppy drinker, a Bullmastiff named Sullivan, I need to teach him this lol” Shaylin Luark added: “My floors crying in sweet relief while covered in Great Dane puddles.”
