NEWS BIT: JAMIE FOXX PISSED ABOUT LEAKED NAKED PHOTOS
Monday, August 17, 2009 |
Last week, Jamie Foxx (who was spotted leaving the club this past weekend) became a member of the growing club of celebrities who have naked photos leaked on the internet. The singer/actor’s “goods” was posted on a popular gossip site and reportedly had the star PISSED OFF:
Foxx was ‘pissed’ when he learned that these naked photos surfaced on the net and lawyer sent a seething letter [to the website] demanding that the photos be taken down. The lawyer claimed that the photo was in connection to a movie role for which Jamie is currently preparing. The website has since removed the photo.
Jamie has a teenage daughter (Corrine, 15) which is definitely embarrassing, considering that her friends have access to the internet and most likely saw the photo.
Up next for Jamie? The movie ‘Law Abiding Citizen’ expected to hit theaters later on this year.

NEWS BIT: NIA LONG SPEAKS ON SINGERS TRYING TO BE ACTORS - STAY IN YOUR LANE
Wednesday, July 15, 2009 |
In the July ‘09 issue of Pride (UK equivalent to Essence), actress Nia Long has lashed out at singers pretending to be actors and speaks on how the craft has suffered due to it. Peep what she said:
Asked what she thought about Beyonce’ performance in Obsessed:
“I didn’t see ‘Obsessed,’ so I can’t comment” she says “but it’s just not about how talented you are anymore. It’s about, ‘How much box-office revenue will this person generate?’ When you see certain people – we won’t name names – they just don’t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ‘You need acting classes’”She says there are some exceptions in Hollywood:
“If you take time to develop your craft, God bless you. Jamie Foxx is an example of both [actor and singer].”On the quality of roles Hollywood offers Black actresses:
“If you were able to take all the Black actresses and the choices we’ve made collectively, it’s a pure reflection of what you see on film. People need to work. But the content? The opportunities for Black actresses are more widespread today, but the quality has suffered,” she offered.
You can catch Nia Long doing voice work on the anticipated new cartoon series, “The Cleveland Show” later on this year.
