He starred in "In Living Color," and bombed in "Stealth." He'll shine a flashlight in your face, and pour mystery liquids down your throat if he thinks you're smokin'. And yesterday, Jamie Foxx got himself a star on Hollywood's legendary Walk of Fame!
Foxx, who won an Oscar for starring as Ray Charles in the eponymous "Ray," received the honor yesterday. As usual, he thanked his grandmother for raising him.

3. He was excellent in Ray and deserved the Oscar. I don't understand how one good movie deserves a star on the walk. C'mon, shouldn't the stars be earned for many good performances over a period of years.

4. Variety criticized my upcoming movie - The Kingdom - Boo hoo ...waaaaa
" Where pic goes astray is inturning anonymous, indigenous peoples into ducks at a shooting gallery. In "Black Hawk Down," the alleged good guys mowed down hundreds of faceless Africans; here, it's Arabs, in what seem like comparable numbers. The sense of vicarious sport is the same; anyone in a caftan or a kepi is fair game.
Which is too bad, because "The Kingdom," for the most part, tries to be a serious drama about an ongoing crisis, begging the question of whether a movie attempting to spark serious debate should be pandering to the worst instincts of its audience. On the other hand, this isn't exactly "Frontline."Berg adopts a faux-doc shooting style that becomes a tiresome exercise in the kind of handheld camerawork that perhaps once implied immediacy but now implies a lack thereof. "The Kingdom" doesn't have the complexity of "Syriana," nor the real-life pathos of "A Mighty Heart," but it's equally spasmodic, to no real end. More drama and less frustrated action might have kept this "Kingdom" from falling."
Save your money folks ...

And wouldnt it be more pleasurable to see your real name on a star??? why cant we all live in the truth? and tell the truth? Everything is so phony!!!

8. I personally think that actors are given much more money and so called power than anyone person who is just doing their job deserves, with that in mind I thought Jamie was great in Ray just as much as I thought a co-worker of mine did a great job last week. The drag is she got 10 dollars an hour and he got 20 million and a star.

13. Can someone help me here? I don't know what Jamie had to say about Michael Vick. Was whatever he had to say that bad? Why are y'all hating on him for his alleged drug use? Hell, most of Hollywood uses drugs and I've not seen this kind of pure hatred for other stars!! Can you help me understand where so much venom is coming from toward Jamie??Obviously I have missed a lot of news. I agree with some of the other posts -- this racism should stop no matter what you feel, though.
