PICS: EDDIE MURPHY CELEBRATES HIS 47th BIRTHDAY WITH HIS MAMA & QUINCY JONES.

Look at this old monkey-dog. Ol' funky-ass Eddie Murphy celebrated his 47th birthday among family and friends last night at STK restaurant in Los Angeles. Or should I say family and 'friend' considering the only 'friend' in attendance was Quincy Jones. Johnny Gill nor Barry Bonds weren't anywhere in sight. And instead of 'family' I should have just said 'a family member' because the only family member I saw (as far as these pics are concerned) was his meddling mama Lillian. But you know what's really messed up? It's the fact that Eddie and the adorable innocent daughter (who didn't ask to be here) he refuses to have anything to do with unless it involves money, also celebrated her 1-year birthday yesterday...the same day as her old mangy, mutt-face, mountain goat-looking father. Lonely bastard.

RASHIDA JONES 'FED UP' & 'DEPRESSED' BY TODAY'S YOUNG SO-CALLED ROLE MODELS.

Quincy Jones' daughter, Rashida's mouth has been running nearly non-stop lately. It was just a few weeks ago when the biracial actress voiced her bitterness at being alienated from pledging an all-black sorority at Harvard University because of her skin complexion and hair texture. Now she's going off again. This time, with something I can totally agree with. Rashida has hit out at the "depressing" lack of Hollywood role models for young girls. Jones says she is fed up with reading about the exploits of troubled celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. Instead, the 32-year-old wishes more attention could be focused on responsible role models - like Miley Cyrus. She says, "I think about what it would be like to have a daughter now, one who is influenced by Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears - and, ugh, it's so depressing. Where are the other young Hollywood role models who are cool, smart, and out there doing something with their lives? Maybe Miley Cyrus? There's a definite responsibility that comes with being famous. You shouldn't be able to just... look pretty."

BLOGGER'S NOTE: Like I said before, I agree with her somewhat. Although I'm not sure why she didn't mentioned young actresses of color since she said herself that she considers herself as a black woman. Raven Symone, Kyla Pratt, KeKe Palmer, Journee Smollett and Lauren London are just a few young ladies who I think really don't get enough props from the press for being such influential, well-behaved individuals. We never hear stories of these ladies sleeping around, doing drugs, getting caught doing drugs, catching DUIs, conducting themselves like clowns and Boo-Boo the Fool for the world to see, catching assault cases, beefing in public with other celebs or being photographed shamelessly entering and exiting a vehicle with their 'business' on display. In all, just showing that they have had home training. Bless their hearts.

QUINCY JONES' DAUGHTER, RASHIDA ON HOW SHE SUFFERED RACISM DUE TO HER BI-RACIAL BACKGROUND.

Quincy Jones' daughter Rashida says she has suffered and endured racism throughout her life all because she's biracial. The 32-year-old (who stars in Fox's Unhitched sitcom--Sunday nights at 9:30) star's father is black and her mother, actress Peggy Lipton is a white Jewish woman. And Jones claims her looks--particularly her skin complexion and hair texture--alienated her from black and white social groups while she attended Harvard University, where she was turned away from pledging an all-black sorority. She says, "I definitely learned my lesson. I'm back to that place were I'm like, 'You know what? I'm black, I'm white, I'm Jewish, I'm Irish, I'm Portuguese, I'm Welsh, what the f*ck ever.' To me it's so inconsequential. People still say things to me like, 'Oh my god, you're black? I would've never guessed that.' And I just think, I can't help your ignorance. There are bi-racial people who look like me or who look like Alicia Keys or who look like Halle Berry. I'm so proud to be so many things."

BLOGGER'S NOTE: Speaking of which, why do certain biracial people consider themselves black, but then turn around and claim to be bi-racial? In my own personal opinion, a bi-racial person (who has one black parent) should consider themselves just that: bi-racial. As far as I'm concerned, walking around stating that you're a black person because one of your parents happens to be black means you're alienating your other parent's racial background/heritage. Therefore and thus and such, needless to say, I don't believe in that 'one drop of Black blood' rule. I have never seen a bi-racial black person...and I'm pretty sure I know why: it's because a bi-racial black person doesn't exist. How blatantly disrespectful is it to visit or spend time with your white parent's family and tell them you consider yourself to be a black person all because your father is black? Please.

Bottom line? If you're a child of a black parent and a white parent, you are not black, you are not white...you are point blank bi-racial...which means you should represent and celebrate both races from which you were made. Or take Rashida's route and be proud of your multi-ethnic background. That's the business...and that's also my two cents plus three pennies.

Thank you, kindly.
