It must be love! Superstar actor-singer Eddie Murphy never took his eyes off his gal pal, whom he flew into Las Vegas for her one-night birthday bash at the Bank in the Bellagio. A spywitness told me: “He certainly knows how to charm a lady. It was a high-style celebration. Not only did Eddie not take his eyes off the birthday girl once, but he also politely declined the affection of hordes of female onlookers.”

Little is known about Eddie’s new blonde vixen except for her first name of January -- how better to start the New Year? She wore a black-bra-baring, cutaway, tight mini-dress, and the temperature must have heated up so much that Eddie took off his black leather jacket while dancing and wore just his black singlet vest! They locked lips on the dance floor as she nuzzled against his neck with her arms around him, and he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Eddie, who has denied that he will play the Riddler in the next Batman movie, picked up the entire tab for the private jet joyride in from Hollywood to Vegas for his girlfriend and their entourage, including his best friend Johnny Gill. He even booked them several luxury private villas in the Bellagio’s high-roller wing. Although Eddie ordered up Moet Chandon champagne and Grey Goose vodka for his VIP table group, he stuck to Coke all night long.

The group partied through the wee hours of the morning and returned to Tinseltown at noon the next day! Eddie, who is the highest-grossing comedy film actor of all time, will be seen in his next funnyman film Imagine That co-starring Vanessa Williams.
