Oscar News: Eddie Out, Billy In

After filmmaker Brett Ratner (Rush Hour, X-Men 3) made an offensive comment, he not only was fired but his Tower Heist leading man, Eddie Murphy, announced that he's calling it quits as the host for the forthcoming 2012 Oscar telecast.

The good news to come from that controversial even is that there has been a replacement to fill Eddie's place: Billy Crystal. 2012 will mark Crystal's 9th time as host for Hollywood's annual event.
