Eddie Murphy, 51, showed up at the red carpet for his Spike TV Special: Eddie Murphy: One Night Only with his newest leading lady, Australian model Paige Butcher, 33.

Born in Perth, Butcher began modeling when she was 13. Two years later, she was discovered by IMG Models after winning a Cover Girl cosmetics contest in Australia. She has done covers for Maxim, Fitness and several bridal magazines. She is currently signed at Ford Models based out of New York and Innovative Artists for television. Butcher has appeared in such movies as Big Momma’s House 2 and Something’s Gotta Give. In 2004, she was #46 on Maxim’s Hot 100 List.

Murphy split from his wife of 12 years, Nicole, in 2005. Since then he has been linked with numerous women including Spice Girl Melanie Brown.
