Although 1992 has come and gone, Screen Gems (oh, the irony!) has acquiredSheneneh and Wanda, a comic caper starring Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence as the female characters they developed during their stand up days!
Uh, 15 years ago!!!!
Foxx will pen the script, which will be based on a movie trailer parody shown at the BET awards titled, Skank Robbers!
In a recent interview, Jamie Foxx opened up about his past and a dangerous night that left him suffering from flashbacks years later.
While in college studying music, the actor/musician showed up to a dorm party that ended up affecting him until this day.
Foxx was having a drink when he started feeling sick and his senses then started to shut down. Turns out somebody laced his drink with the hallucinogen PCP!!!
Says Foxx:
"I was drinking whiskey and it didn't taste funny, so I had no idea. It took about 15 minutes and I knew something was wrong. I said to my roommate, 'Something is going on, and I don't know what it is, but I'm going to ride it out. That was the last thing I said, and then I was almost in a coma and I couldn't move, couldn't talk, couldn't even say, 'Take me to a hospital.'"
Thankfully his friend realized something wasn't right and rushed him to the hospital.
Jaime added:
"My friend could see something was badly wrong and he took me to the emergency room. (He) stayed with me. Then he took me back to the dorm and I was afraid of the dark and he would talk to me every night and calm me down and say stuff like, 'You're Ok, the demons aren't real.' He saved my life."
It's good he had friends like that around.
As for Jaime, he ended up suffering from severe flashbacks for months and started suffering from paranoia.
He says:
"I read up on PCP after it happened. It leaves a fingerprint and you can't get it out of your system. It happened to me when I was 18 and I had 11-months of harsh flashbacks, and then when I was 26, and another when I was 32, and that was the last one. But I always worry about it coming back. You're afraid of the dark, afraid of things you see on television, you feel that things are coming at you. I felt paranoid, and paranoia is craziness. It's not good."
We all know drugs are bad, but also as an important reminder….
We're sure Jamie Foxx loves to spread the love around, but apparently there are some babies out there that bare a resemblance to the actor/singer that he won't talk about.
During an interview with Wendy Williams, actress Garcelle Beauvais let the news slip.
Sources say that aside from his biological 15-year-old daughter, Corinne Bishop, Fox has another baby out there born last October to a different mom.
Some suggest that the baby momma was a real-estate agent while others describe the woman as "tall, muscular, pretty, brunette and white."
Damn! What if they're both right and there are TWO kids out there that are his???
We'd start figuring this one out, Jamie. That's a lot a baby mama drama you don't want to deal with!
Sunday night's live broadcast of the BET Awards-turned-Jackson tribute drew 10.2 million viewers - most likely the highest-rated show in the history of the network!
Even though viewers panned the awards for being "distasteful and offensive," the viewership was up 61% from 2008's BET Awards.
Host Jamie Foxx received the most criticism from the broadcast for his constant self-promotion and distasteful sketch with comedian Martin Lawrence on a night transformed to honor the late King of Pop.
Jamie Foxx is getting sued and will not take it lying down!!!!
Jamie, along with everyone else involved, is being sued by a bartender claiming to have suffered 170 stitches and nerve damage after falling on broken glass at an event at club Social in 2007
Foxx played host that night and unless he pushed the bartender into the glass, we don't see how he is responsible!
He feels the same - so he's suing back!!!!!
Foxx filed a lawsuit against Social and a few other companies in order to pay his legal fees.
After the incredibly LOLtastic conversation Jamie Foxx and guests had on his Sirius radio show about Miley Cyrus and her oversized ego gums, Billy Ray decided not to comment.
Instead a rep said “Billy Ray isn’t going to say anything publicly because he doesn’t want to this to escalate. He wishes it would just go away.”
Guess when Billy Ray went on that Bonnie Hunt Show he forgot that what he says on TV becomes public!
And despite the fact that Foxx already publicly apologized, Cryus went on to say on the show that, "It was hurtful. There wasn't nothing funny about it. And, quite frankly, I think if I said those things about his daughter, he might not find it so comedic."
Well, first of all Billy Ray, the comments Foxx said were funny. And secondly, you're not a comedian so you're right, no one would find you talking smack about Foxx's daughter funny.
Do U think Foxx was out of line with his "jokes" about Miley?
After hearing Jamie Foxx's radio tirade, Billy Ray Cyrus was inspired.
After whoring out his daughter, Miley Cyrus, to Vanity Fair, a sex tape would be the next best thing!
But then he realized that his daughter is just 16, so Billy Ray got mad and pouted in a corner, refusing to release a statement because "He wishes it would just go away."
But Jamie Foxx apologized anyway, because this is Hollywood, saying on the Tonight Show last night:
"I so apologize to [Cyrus], and this is sincere. 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.
"Miley, I apologize, so I'll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand."
Jamie is also currently promoting a new flick, The Soloist, so this all sounds like a lot of "PLEASE COME SEE MY MOVIE," but we were bigger Foxx fans before he apologized!
