From TMZ:

The video was shot at an after-party at Jamie’s mansion in L.A. … roughly ten years ago … right around the time he was blowin’ up for his role in “Ali.”

Foxx — sporting nothing but a pair of red briefs, white sneakers and a baseball hat — gets downright funky in front of a group of friends while Prince’s “I Wanna Be Your Lover” plays in the background.

I guess the only question I have is, “How the hell did he do this with a straight face?” Oh, that, and “DAMN,” even though I suppose that’s not really a question – rather more of an exclamation than anything else.

I have a video floating around out there like this, too, guys. And by ‘floating around out there’, I mean ‘It’s bolted up under lock and key, never to be seen by anyone (including my husband) ’til long after I’m dead.’ The video is me, shaking my ass and dancing like a total hooker to Donna Summer’s ‘Hot Stuff’ back when I was eight or nine years old. I’m in my bedroom, thinking I have all the privacy in the world, and all grinding inappropriately in front of an unseen camera (which was in my mother’s possession, and no, I have no idea what the hell she was thinking allowing this to happen). Isn’t that just great? So, right. I can totally relate to you, Jamie Foxx, and I commend you on your fabulous taste in music.

… Oh, and what’s that? You’ve never heard ‘Hot Stuff’ before? Boy, you are missing out:

Toot-toot. Heyyyy. Beep-beep.

“There’s tons of fans and we hear all of these high pitch voices and we hear ‘Rah, rah, Taylor, Taylor!’ All of a sudden I hear this deep voice behind me: ‘Taylor, Taylor!’ …. And this guy walks up to me and he goes ‘Hey … my daughter is a huge fan, and I’m a huge fan is there any way I can get a picture with you. I’m Jamie Foxx.’ I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? Can I get a picture with you?’”

– Taylor Lautner on George Lopez’s talk show, sounding surprised that even Jamie Foxx wants a piece of his hotness.

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.

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.

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.

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.
