Today in Oops!

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

I guess Jamie Foxx Show alum Garcelle Beauvais shared a bit too much during an interview with host Wendy Williams.  She fesses up to seeing Foxx recently and learning about his new baby.  A baby that he hasn’t acknowledged publicly yet.  Oops!  Stay tuned for the “I am happy to announce that I am the proud father of …” statement.  By my estimation, it should be on the wire any minute.

And You Thought I Was Disrespectful To The Dead?

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Many of you didn’t appreciate my Heeeeeeerrrrreeeee’s Heaven! post about Ed McMahon — and I maintain that it was a stroke of comedic whimsy — but at least I didn’t slap on some Jheri curl, dress up like Michael Jackson, and moonwalk onto stage the way Jamie Foxx did on the BET Awards last night.  Tacky and disrespectful, right?

Also, in a time where we are trying to all come together, Jamie Foxx speaks of MJ as someone who belonged to “us” — the African American community — and that they decided to share him with everyone else.  Glad to see racism is alive and well in America.

The Fool & Ger-tard

Butler and Foxx Abiding the Law

That’s not the title of some esoteric French art flick. Those are the names Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler have supposedly been calling one another.
Star Magazine is reporting that the two aren’t getting along very well on the set of their upcoming movie Law Abiding Citizen. The cause of their petulant behavior? Plain old jealousy:

Hollywood catfights aren’t just between the ladies! Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler have been going at it on the set of Law Abiding Citizen. An insider tells Star, “Jamie is jealous of the female attention Gerard gets. And Gerard is annoyed that Jamie’s always jetting off to Vegas to party.”

The Dueling duo even have pet names for each other: Gerard calls Jamie “The Fool”, and he’s known as “Ger-tard!”

ìItís like high school on this set!î says the source. Boys will be boys!

Only at Star magazine could you use the phrase “boys will be boys” without any hint of irony. As a side note, I’m thinking about taking a weekend trip to Philly because there is just the slightest possibility I might receive a massage from the aforementioned Mr. Butler, or see him naked.

The Soloist Premiere

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

My husband and I have been together over five years and have never been to the movies together.  It takes an act of God or Robert Downey, Jr. to get me to watch movies in a communal and over-air conditioned setting.  But this could be the weekend that I break rank and actually go to the movies.  Do you think they’ll let me bring in my Snuggie?

Last night was the premiere of The Soloist, a movie that sounds fascinating to me.  It’s a true story of a musician, played by Jamie Foxx, a prodigious violinist and cellist who starts suffering from schizophrenia while studying at Julliard.  He ends up becoming one of L.A.’s homeless.

So, yeah.  Totally putting on my bubblegum-dodging shoes and going to see this.

Beyond all the beautiful people at the screening last night (how is Halle Berry allowed to still look as amazing as she does?), Nathaniel Ayers, the man that the movie is based on, also attended.

You know who else was there?  Eva Pigford.  If you watch America’s Next Top Model, you’ll recognize her as the third season winner.  I was reading a little bit about her and she changed her name to Eva Marcille, but that never took because people already know her with the pig name.  Now she’s engaged to an actor-Lance Gross.  Obviously, Eva is just destined to have a horrible last name no matter what.

Jamie Foxx Apologizes for Miley Diss

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Hey, remember on Sunday, when Jamie Foxx went off all batshit crazy about Miley Cyrus, the one who “gotta get a gum transplant” and “do some heroin” and “put some crack your pipe”? As of Tuesday afternoon, he had yet to issue an apology, and word on the street was that Papa Cyrus was PISSED. “He thinks Jamie was out of line and didn’t find any humor in it,” said a source. “He doesn’t understand why he would do that to Miley especially since he has teenage daughter himself … Billy Ray isn’t going to say anything publicly because he doesn’t want to this to escalate.”

The actor and comedian has been taking a lot of heat lately for his comments about the 16-year-old, which began when a random caller phoned into his radio show to say that he thought Miley was a bitch.

But when Foxx went on Jay Leno’s show Tuesday night, Leno pushed the issue, and Foxx finally apologized.

“Did you say something inappropriate?” Jay Leno innocently queried of the Oscar winner on Tuesday’s Tonight Show.

“Yeah,” Foxx admitted, taking a few breaths before launching into a full-blown apology.

“I so apologize to [Cyrus], and this is sincere,” he began. “I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don’t mean any of it. [Big laugh from the audience]. And sometimes, as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far.

“I have a radio show…We’re really the black Howard Stern. We go at everybody. There was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just want to say, I apologize for what I said. I didn’t mean it maliciously. You know I’m a comedian. You know my heart,” he added, turning to Leno.

Then, looking at the camera, “Miley, I apologize, so I’ll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand.”

What do we think, guys? Apology accepted or no?

Jamie Foxx Slams Miley Cyrus

Monday, April 13th, 2009

Jamie Foxx took a call on his radio show on Sunday, and the caller was talking shit about Miley Cyrus for allegedly talking shit about Radiohead. At first, Jamie was like, “Who is Miley Cyrus?” and then he remembered her as “the one with all the gums … she gotta get a gum transplant!” He later mentions that she should “get like Britney Spears and do some heroin” and “do like Lindsay Lohan and start seeing a lesbian, get some crack in your pipe.”

Sheesh, Jamie, telling Miley Cyrus to do drugs is my gig. Quit stealing all my bits, asshole.
