Again Eddie Murphy’s iconic  Beverly Hills Cop  may be skipping the small screen and heading straight to the theaters.

Primary topic reportedly on their agenda....  “It’s largely friendship that’s on the agenda for the lunch today,” said Josh Earnest, the deputy press secretary. “So it’s not a working lunch as much as it is an opportunity for the two who saw each other on a pretty frequent basis over the course of the last four years to get a chance to catch up.” (Photo: The White House) From the AP on the Obama-Clinton lunch: While it's not the first time the pair have seen each other since Clinton left the administration earlier this year, each of their get-together's are closely analyzed.
