OpenEntrance - What’s Really Going OnWhat’s Really Going On

Adding to the list of Black Entertainers with reality TV shows, Jamie Foxx and Fonzworth Bentley will team up to offer social skills to men by teaching them modern day etiquette. In a recent interview -the host Fonzworth B. says, ” It is cool to know how to treat a lady. It is cool to have faith in God. It is cool to go to college. It is cool to have respect for your seniors. I wanted to make sure that the show was edited in a way for that man that’s sitting at home, he can actually take notes”.

This will be the first time we have seen Foxx on screen in quite a while…he will also appear on the MTV program From G’s to Gents after its debut tomorrow night (July 15th). Sounds like an interesting and unique show-review to come soon!

Years ago, Diddy saved Jaime Foxx from some embrassment of being denied entry into an exclusive party. Diddy, known for his lavish lifestyle and annual boat parties at France’s Cannes Film Festival - helped Foxx get into a bash when door staff failed to recognize him.  Jamie commented, “About 12, 14 years ago, I couldn’t get into the party, and then Diddy swept past me like this Cristal-Bentley tsunami. He’s a legend.”

Diddy is a legend, but at this point-who would have “thunk it”, Jaime Foxx being denied entry into any venue. This goes to show how far people come over time. Grindin + Hustlin + Discipline/ Hard Work = Sucess & Big Dollars!  

Rapper Twista, has been dropped from the lineup because of his “controversial lyrics,” the fast food giant said Monday. Twista was supposed to perform on a nationwide tour sposored by the hamburger chain.
The Chicago rapper is better known for his lightning-fast rap delivery than particularly raunchy content: His hits include “Slow Jamz,” with Kanye West and Jamie Foxx, and “Overnight Celebrity.” However, he does use explicit language and reference drugs in his some of his rhymes.

McDonald’s, which initially signed the rapper to perform in Chicago for its 10-city concert series, said it could no longer support Twista for the Aug. 7 performance. “Although we respect free speech and artistic expression, we do not condone or perpetuate derogatory language,” said spokesman William Whitman in a statement. “We want to ensure these free concerts are fun as well as appropriate for all of our customers.”

“They started hearing things … feeling like they were getting a little flak, and I felt like rather than stick by me and stick through it, they got scared,” he said. “I’ve been rapping the same way for 15 years. It only became a problem when Don Imus said something negative about black women and they needed a scapegoat.”

Twista said that typically, when he performs at events that are more mainstream and that attract kids, he cleans up his lyrics, and had intended to do so for the Chicago performance.

“I was actually going to have a school with a choir come sing the song ’Hope’ with me. So now … McDonald’s have to tell the kids that they can’t perform.”

This whole situation is BS to me; Twista can’t make any money because of this criticism from a few people who don’t have anything better to do. Mickeys D’s knew what they were getting into when they signed him up. I hope he sues them and gets all the money they promised him because they breached this contract; he needs to get his ‘new school hustle’ on.

He must have just forgot to cut the check! 

According to TMZ, Celebrity fashion stylist Stacy Young has filed suit against Jamie Foxx for payment of services she rendered in 2006.

Young says she was hired to work with Foxx for the BET Awards at a rate of $2,850 a day, as well as for “Miami Vice” press junkets at a rate of $3000 a day.

What does a a stylist do to earn $3,000 a day? That seems lot a whole lot of change for a lot of sitting around. She can only brush his hair so many times and pick out so many outfits. But if that’s what she was hired to do, pay the woman.
