Nicole Murphy

Nicole Murphy (ex-wife of Eddie) is a big story today due to her alleged infidelities to New York Giants defensive star Michael Strahan.

Yay for artvertising I suppose. View Image ›

For now, we’ll have to stick with being entertained by the Sean Connery voice setting on our GPS devices. Read More ›
