Jamie Foxx: I'm A Real Man

 

Let me start off by saying, I think Jamie Foxx is a great actor whose success is long overdue. Yeah, now that I've gotten that crap out of the way, let me go'n head and get to the real: He's been irking the hell out of me lately. I'm really trying to figure out exactly what he does now other than make continuous references to Ray Charles and make dry R&B albums that recall Carl Thomas and John Legend.

I guess one of his activities include speaking w/ Entertainment Tonight about other celebrities.

According to the acclaimed Oscar winner, Lachey is "not a real man" if he opts to pocket half of estranged wife Jessica Simpson's total earnings and file for spousal report. "Jessica, if you want a real man, come my way," Foxx says.

I like that he can assert his masculinity based on some trite views of what defines manhood yet he can still hang his head high as a singer and actor...all the while building his career mimicking a dead man. And is it me or has Jamie been acting like Kanye's hype man lately?

Over the weekend, Hollywood reacted to the news. "I don't really agree with that because I think it's a cop-out," Oscar winner JAMIE FOXX told ET. "You got to get up and do your own thing."

How many times a day do you think he wakes up saying, "Imma make it do what it do?"
