Style How To Get Jamie Foxx’s “Law Abiding Citizen” Red Carpet Look

Whither Jamie Foxx, hilarious comedy dude? Not that we didn’t enjoy him in Collateral and The Kingdom and other dramas, but word to the Joker: Why so serious? We miss the In Living Color Jamie, the Booty Call Jamie, even the The Jamie Foxx Show Jamie. That’s why we were so excited to read that Mr. Foxx is about to star alongside Zach G. and Robert Downey, Jr. in a new movie (out 2010) from homie that made The Hangover. It’s about damn time, man. We couldn’t deal with shit like The Soloist much longer.

Of course, Jamie still gotta get his acting on, so we have to put up with nobody’s-smiling flicks like Law Abiding Citizen, out tomorrow. But whether it’s funny Jamie or not-funny Jamie, we can all agree he usually manages to stay fresh. At the L.A. premiere of his new movie last week, Foxx rocked a luxe leather car coat, simple gray v-neck, raw denim, and a pair of Roper boots. You wanna rock this, too? Read on to see how to dress like Jamie Foxx…

Wake N' Watch Wake N’ Watch: Jamie Foxx f/ Drake, Kanye West, & The-Dream “Digital Girl (Remix)”

Somebody break Lou Pearlman out, because we may have just discovered the next great boyband. Put these four together, give Drake a cane like the giant bass in Boyz II Men, and this shit is ready to hit the road. They even do a little synchronized dance at the very end of the video, at about 4:18. We know Hype Williams directed it, but who did the choreography? Sidenote: when Kanye comes on, they switch up the beat to the “MJ Remix,” which is pretty dope (thanks, Dream & Tricky). As a bonus, check out BET’s behind-the-scenes Access Granted special below…

Style Battle Of The MJ Jacket: Jonah Hill vs. Jamie Foxx

Our June/July issue has been on newsstands for a minute, and you might have noticed that one of our cover stories (coincidentally) features Jonah Hill in a Michael Jackson themed photo shoot. For the record, no, we did not plan this. We’re good, but not that good. The King’s untimely death shocked us just like everyone else.

Since his passing on Thursday, the MJ tributes have been coming out in full force, culminating with last night’s BET Awards. In fact, we couldn’t help but notice that the evening’s host, Jamie Foxx, wore a nearly-identical Thriller-inspired outfit, complete with that classic red jacket and white glove (UPDATE: several astute readers have pointed out that Jamie’s outfit was inspired by “Beat It,” not “Thriller”. Our bad!). Who captured MJ’s essence the best? Vote for your favorite below…

TV 6 Memorable Public Apologies Made Under Pressure

It’s never easy to say sorry, especially when everyone’s watching…just ask David Letterman. The Late Show host sputtered an apology yesterday to hockey mom and moose stew connoisseur Sarah Palin, after Letterman accidentally joked about Palin’s 14-year-old daughter fornicating, sans condom, with A-Rod (he thought that the joke was referring to Palin’s actual single-mom daughter, Bristol, who at 18 is fully legal yet still unable to figure out how to use a condom). Oops. Palin reportedly accepted Dave’s apology, even though she hopes that “men who ‘joke’ about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve.” First of all, we’re surprised that Palin believes in evolution. Second of all, evolution takes millions of years; while we’re waiting, might as well keep the crude sexploitation jokes coming.

In today’s age of political correctness, making a joke in public is like farting on the subway–it might feel good, but it’s going to offend at least a few people. Read on to watch the clips of television and radio show hosts whose inappropriate commentary led to begrudging public apologies…
