JAMIE FOXX RETURNS TO MTV WITH HIS A NEW COMDEY SERIES

Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx has partnered with MTV to begin production on a new sketch comedy series.

Foxx, who recently starred in the biographical drama The Soloist, will use the MTV vehicle for his first return to television since the conclusion of the Jamie Foxx Show in 2001.

While the project is still in early development, the network has verified that it hopes to create a show in the vein of the groundbreaking 90’s series In Living Color, which also served as Foxx’s breakout vehicle.

His tenure on that hit series is most remembered for his sketch role as the hideous Wanda Wayne, the self-proclaimed “lost member” of En Vogue who terrorized every man she came in contact with.

For the MTV show, Foxx will work with Marcus King, producer Jamie Rucker King (Held Up), writer/producer Fax Bahr( Malibu’s Most Wanted, In the Army Now), and director/producer Adam Small (Another State of Mind, Malibu’s Most Wanted).

Foxx’s latest music offering, Intuition, was certified platinum last month off the strength of the Top 10 singles “Just Like Me,” “She Got Her Own,” and “Blame It.”

The versatile entertainer will return to theaters in 2010 with the F. Gary Gray directed thriller Law Abiding Citizen, which chronicles a prosecutor’s attempt to stop a calculating killer.

At press time, MTV has not confirmed a projected launch date for Foxx’s comedy show.

RIHANNA THE AGGRESSOR IN CHRIS BROWN RELATIONSHIP?!

Many have been wondering why Chris Brown really didn’t get a harsh penalty.  Also, I was thinking about why RiRi still wants to be near him.  The idea that she suffers from batter wife syndrome has been the prevailing theory.  Something else is beginning to surface.

A source that lives very close to Chris Brown’s town in Virginia – about 10 minutes, is saying it might be his mother’s house, but Chris definitely lives there a lot. Well, the source has some inroads to the local police there in the town. The police apparently are well about the domestic matters that have transpired between Chris and RiRi. The police locally REPORTEDLY say that Chris Brown has been forced to replace no less than three flatscreen TV’s because Rihanna allegedly threw something through them all.  Basically, they suggested strongly, without going all the way in, that Rihanna might have exacerbated other situations that lead up to this one. Maybe Rihannais feeling guilty some how? Who knows.

They also say that it wasn’t any sort of big deal to see them shopping at the local Wal Mart or anything like that.  The locals were not really feeling RiRi, because she acted too exotic for them (exotic = stuck up, they say)

JAY-Z SON RESURFACES IN THE TABLOIDS

A recent report has re-opened a serious topic of discussion for Jay-Z. It was just a few years ago when reports were all over that Jay-Z had a secret son that he didn’t admit to the public.

Now can reveal that the fiercely private rapper – who’s worth an estimated $400 million – reportedly has a secret 7-year-old son who he’s amazingly managed to hide from the limelight all this time. The boy apparently bears a striking resemblance to his father and is the result of Jay-Z’s romance with Trinidadian model Shenelle Scott which ended in 2001, before he met Beyoncé.

Jay-Z has gone to great lengths to distance himself from the claims, despite reports that he’s privately admitted paternity. Beyoncé, whom he married in April 2008, is now apparently accepting of the boy and is even said to have gone on holiday with her stepson in the South of France.

Although Jay-Z’s spokesman denied that there was any truth in ‘these ridiculous rumours’, the rebuttal falls short of a denial that the rap star is the boy’s father. Despite approaching Jay-Z’s representatives repeatedly last week, they refused to comment.

Sources say that Shenelle and her son live a quiet life in Trinidad at a $2.5 million home that Jay-Z bought for them after paternity tests revealed a positive match. It’s also thought that Shenelle, 28, brings her son to see Jay-Z in New York, where he’s based, whenever she flies there for modeling assignments.

KID FREAKS OUT OVER VIDEO GAME

Watch this kid freak out after his parents took his video game from him.  In between snarls, he says, “I’m gonna run away! You’ll never see me again!!!!!!” CRAZY. DERANGED.

Perhaps this could be an arguement for “spare the rod and spoil the child”.

Chris Brown Pleads Guilty To Felony Assault, No Jail Time

Chris Brown and the state of California have reached a plea agreement in the assault of his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

The singer has received five years of supervised probation and six months of community service labor. He also has pleaded guilty to felony assault.

The announcement just before a preliminary hearing was to begin in Los Angeles.

Rihanna was set to testify again Brown on Monday, if the case were to proceed.

The presiding judge expressed concern, because Brown will be able to conduct his community service in his home state of Virginia and not California, where the crime was committed.
