Jamie Foxx Brawls At Usher Show

Posted by andPOP Staff on February 12th, 2011

Jamie Foxx showed off his muscle Thursday night while attending a show in Hollywood where his buddy Usher was performing.

Rumor has it Foxx got into an altercation with his former manager, reports RadarOnline. A witness says  “The fight spilled to the outside area and I don’t think Usher even noticed because the place was so packed with people. When they got outside security intervened and after some cops approached both men seemed to make-up with one another before they left.”

Hollywood Police say no charges have been filed. We wonder what the dispute was over. Perhaps the Manager made some comment to Foxx like, “You would still be on ‘In Living Color’ without me.” And that comment would be completely unfair. Even if the show wasn’t cancelled, Foxx would have been canned anyways because he really wasn’t that funny.

Jay Leno Reclaims Old Position at NBC’s “Tonight Show”

Posted by Sam Rashid on March 2nd, 2010

Jay Leno has been missing from TV screens across the world for just over three weeks now.  And Monday, he will reappeared, reports the CBC.

Nine-teen days ago, NBC cancelled Leno’s own prime-time show.  It has also been nine months since Leno has given up his position at the “Tonight Show,” to Conan O’Brien.  But now, Leno is back to reclaim his old position on the “Tonight Show.”

Since Leno is back, the late-night war once again begins with CBS opponent David Letterman.  Letterman dominated the ratings during O’Brien’s brief appearance as the “Tonight Show” host.

But, Leno ruled the late night for much of the 17 years he was with the “Tonight Show,” and NBC is hoping that he will be comfortable in his desk chair, once again.

Mike Tyson Plans Own Biopic, Casts Jamie Foxx

Posted by andPOP Staff on February 26th, 2008

The World Entertainment News Network reports that Mike Tyson is planning to produce a biopic about his life, and has already hand-picked Jamie Foxx for the part.

The two-time boxing heavyweight champion has certainly experienced enough drama in the last two decades to make the film interesting. He was convicted of raping a beauty pageant contestant in 1992, bit off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear in 1997, declared bankruptcy in 2003, and was jailed last year for a DUI and possession of cocaine.

Of his struggles with substance abuse, Tyson said that he is now clean. “Even when I was training for a fight, there were no drugs, but I would drink. I had never been clean and sober my whole life. This is the first time. I’m tired of losing. I lost the trust of my family, my five kids. I didn’t like that way of life and decided to change. I saw the devil and didn’t want that.”

Foxx Stuns Public With Elevator Behaviour

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 9th, 2007

JAMIE FOXX stunned journalists and members of the public last week
(ends31Aug07) when he banned them from sharing his elevator, according to reports.

The Ray star was appearing at Los Angeles’ Four Season’s Hotel to promote his new movie The Kingdom, and insisted he travelled in the building’s lifts without being hassled by fellow guests.

A source tells the New York Daily News’ Page Six, “He told guests of the
hotel and journalists to leave the elevator. Then, at every floor where the
elevator stopped, the bodyguard would stand with his arm stretched out and say,

‘You can’t enter’ to anyone who tried to get in. A lot of us were like, ‘Who
does Jamie think he is?’”

However a spokesperson for the star has denied the incident, insisting,
“There were four to five people in the elevator with Foxx at the time and
rushing to get to interviews to promote his film.” (JC/WNWCPS/ES)

Foxx Defends Vick

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 25th, 2007

Singer/actor JAMIE FOXX has defended disgraced American football star MICHAEL VICK, who is expected to serve jail time for his involvement in illegal dog fighting matches.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Vick was indicted by a federal grand jury for “conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and to sponsor a dog in animal fighting venture” last month (Jul07) and has said he will plead guilty in court next week (27Aug07).

While Foxx condemns cruelty to animals, he believes Vick did not realise the implications of his sponsorship of the dog fighting ring.

He says, “It’s a cultural thing, I think. Most brothers didn’t know that, you know. I used to see dogs fighting in the neighbourhood all the time. I didn’t know that was Fed time. So, Mike probably just didn’t read his handbook on what not to do as a black star.

“I know that cruelty to animals is bad, but sometimes people shoot people and kill people and don’t get time.

“I think in this situation, he really didn’t know the extent of it, so I always give him the benefit of the doubt.”

Vick faces a potential of 12 to 18 months in prison when he is sentenced. (ES/WNWCAXH/SH)

Death on Set of Garner, Foxx Movie

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 15th, 2006

Nick Papac, a 25-year-old assistant propmaster, was critically injured on the set of a new film starring Jennifer Garner and Jamie Foxx. He died a few hours later at a local hospital.

CBS reports that, on Saturday, Papac was driving an all-terrain vehicle on a closed portion of the freeway just outside of Pheonix, Arizona. He crashed the vehicle into an SUV, carrying the film’s director, Peter Berg.

After being airlifted to an area hospital, Papac died of severe head injuries. No one else was injured in the accident.

The incident took place after shooting had wrapped for the day, and none of the film’s stars were present during the crash.

The film, titled “The Kingdom,” is set in the Middle East. Shooting was cancelled on Sunday, but is expected to resume on Wednesday.

Foxx Tops Billboard Album Chart

Posted by Eva Lam on January 6th, 2006

After debuting a week ago at No. 2, Jamie Foxx has overtaken Mary Blige to claim top spot on the Billboard album chart.

Despite a 67 per cent slip to sales of 200,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen Soundscan, Foxx?s ?Unpredictable? is the first album to reach No. 1 without having debuted at the top since Ray Charles’ ?Genius Loves Company? in February 2005.

Foxx also becomes the fourth artist to have won an Academy Award for acting (coincidentally for his portrayal of Charles in Ray) and achieved a No. 1 album, reports Billboard.

He was followed in the top 10 by Mary J. Blige, Eminem, the Notorious B.I.G., Carrie Underwood, Now 20, Nickelback, Mariah Carey, Black Eyed Peas and Chris Brown.

Sales were up 5 per cent over the same period last year, but didn’t make up for a year-long slump

Downloads also made big news, with digital track downloads numbering a record-setting 19.9 million last week, reports USA Today.

That number eclipsed the previous record of 9.0 million set last week.

The top download, DFL’s ?Laffy Taffy,? sold a record 175,000 copies, more than three times what it sold the previous week and nearly topping Foxx’s album sales.

Jamie Foxx to Lead ‘Kingdom’

Posted by Eva Lam on December 4th, 2005

Academy award winner Jamie Foxx will star in Universal Pictures’ “The Kingdom,” a political thriller being directed by Peter Berg, reports Billboard.

The movie is based on an original idea by Berg and producer Michael Mann, and will revolve around an elite team of counter-terrorism investigators trying find those responsible for a deadly bombing attack on American workers in the Middle East.

Led by Foxx?s character, the team enters the previously off-limits desert kingdom and engage a local police officer to help in their investigation. Along the way, they clash with bureaucracy and tradition, and find their lives threatened.

The film is tentatively slated for a May production start.

Earlier this year, Foxx won the best actor Oscar for his role in Universal Pictures’ “Ray.”

The actor, who can currently be seen in “Jarhead,” has several other acting projects in the works. He plays Tubbs in the big-screen adaptation of “Miami Vice,” which Mann is directing, and will shoot DreamWorks Pictures’ “Dreamgirls” alongside Beyonc? Knowles and Eddie Murphy this month.

Foxx is also busy with his music career, with a Dec. 20 release date for ?Unpredictable,? his new studio album from J Records.
