Jamie Foxx Walks Off During Live ESPN Broadcast

Leave a reply

 

Jamie Foxx walked off during a live ESPN broadcast when host asked about Katie Holmes!

Jamie Foxx, actor, was in the middle of prepping to play for the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday night until Sport Center’s Michael Smith tried to interview him, but due to asking the wrong question, the interview ended abruptly.

It seemed as if the beginning of the interview was going well! Jamie Foxx was seen in the video saying “I’m ready-made, all you gotta do is add water,” he told an ESPN reporter on the court. “They’re ready to pour some water on me and I’m ready to rock!” until Smith mentioned about photos of Jamie Foxx and rumored girlfriend, Katie Holmes, were seen together playing basketball on Valentines Day. Once mentioned, Foxx, who had on a headset, quickly went to take them off, stood up, smiling at the camera, not uttering one word went back to the court looking like he was ready to play!

“Uh oh, did we lose him?” Smith said as Foxx was seen beginning to stretch out on the court. “Oh, he ready to go, he ready to hoop.”

While the Oscar winner did not return to finish his interview, he did look like he was still in great spirits while standing next to singer, Justin Beiber.

I have no idea why the media is shocked about Jamie’s reaction, he has always been very private about his personal life! I remember I did not know he had a child until he was nominated for an Oscar back in 2005, and brought her as a date. Think about it….we still have no idea who her mother is! I do respect that he wants to keep the relationship with Katie silent. Their was a time when Katie was constantly in the news about her marriage with Tom Cruise, their child together, and even the break up! I believe she is another individual who prefers to keep her personal relationship quiet too! I can not list off the top of my brain as to whom she dated in her past prior to Tom Cruise!

Well, peers if you did learn anything from Jamie Foxx short interview is to not question about his personal life regardless if he with Katie Holmes or not allow him to be the one to make the initiative! We here at 216 The Beat wish both Katie Holmes & Jamie Foxx the best!

BEUYS, Documentary Portrait of Joseph Beuys, One of the 20th Century’s Most Influential and Controversial Artists

Charismatic and controversial German artist Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) was a messianic figure, alternately considered a shaman, a kook, a radical political activist, and a breakthrough artistic genius. Filmmaker Andres Veiel mines a rich trove of never-before-seen archival footage, showing how Beuys’s teachings (at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf), installations (using felt and fat), ‘happenings’ (covering himself in honey and gold leaf in How to Explain Paintings to a Dead Hare or locking himself in a room with a coyote in I Like America and America Likes Me), and lectures (“money shouldn’t be a commodity”) argued for a more expansive view of the role of art in our lives.

Always recognizable in his trademark fedora, Beuys was a visionary who, 30 years after his death, continues to influence artists as well as confound and entertain the rest of us. BEUYS will have a two-week engagement, from January 17 to January 30, at Film Forum.

Tehran Taboo – Official U.S. Trailer

Ali Soozandeh’s Tehran Taboo opens February 14, 2018 at Film Forum in NYC before expanding to select cities.

Mohsen leaves Pari

In this gorgeously animated drama, the lives of several strong-willed women and a young musician intersect. Their stories reveal the hypocrisies of modern Iranian society, where sex, drugs, and corruption coexist with strict religious law. In the bustling metropolis of Tehran, avoiding prohibitions has become an everyday sport and breaking taboos can be a means of personal emancipation. Nevertheless, women invariably end up on the bottom rung of the social order.

A young woman needs an operation to “restore” her virginity. A judge in the Islamic Revolutionary Court exhorts favors from a prostitute in exchange for a favorable ruling. The wife of an imprisoned drug addict is denied the divorce she needs in order to live independently. Making use of rotoscope animation, expat Iranian filmmaker Ali Soozandeh creates a portrait of contemporary Tehran that would be impossible by any other means.

Pari, Elias and Sara in a Restaurant

Blending multiple narratives into a complex picture of contemporary life in Iran’s most populous city, TEHRAN TABOO follows a young woman in need of an operation to “restore” her virginity; a divorce judge (in the Islamic Revolutionary Court) who extorts favors from a prostitute; a pregnant woman desperate to work for a living so she may live independently; and young women (purportedly virgins) being sold to Dubai for large sums of money.

The result is a complicated portrait of a social order in which women are at the bottom rung of a ladder built on religion, the law, and plain old misogyny.

During Super Bowl LII’s highly anticipated halftime show, Justin Timberlake tried to avoid any and all controversy following his last performance in 2004 with Janet Jackson. However, while he succeeded in avoiding another Nipplegate, he did not succeed with his Prince homage.

It was rumored prior to his halftime performance that Timberlake would share the stage with a Prince hologram at some point during the show, however, those rumors were quickly squashed. Instead, viewers were treated to a projection of Prince as Timberlake honored the late singer with a duet.

Timberlake sang a rendition of “I Would Die 4 U” along with video, vocals and a fluttering projection featuring Prince and fans were not happy.

Actor and comedian Sinbad also had choice words for Timberlake following the performance. In a colorful tweet, he wrote, “Okay punkass justin (sic) Timberlake. You was cool till you pulled that Prince bullshit. You dissed Prince on a track of yours and you dissed him onstage when you lowered the mic stand onstage when prince won an award. Later for ya ass.”

The comedian later followed up with his final thoughts on the Super Bowl…

 

While it was a good night for Philadelphia Eagles fans, looks like it wasn’t such a great night for Timberlake.
