Jaime Foxx Working On Scripted Series Based on Relationship with his Daughter

Jamie Foxx and TNT have decided to turn the pair’s father-daughter relationship into a new scripted series for the network.

The new show will be titled “Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me,” and will follow this premise:

Every teenager is embarrassed by his/her parents. But what if your dad decided to descend upon your life in every way? Inspired by Jamie Foxx’s relationship with his 18-year-old daughter, this comedy explores the dynamic between a parent and a child and all the embarrassment that comes with it.

Jamie Foxx will executive produce and handle scripting along with a couple other people, which means he’ll likely be completely off-screen rather than in front of it as we usually see. And even though the show is only based on Jamie’s relationship with his daughter.

O.J. Testifies In Kidnapping Case, Continues To Live In Utter Delusion

O.J. Simpson is not interested in taking responsibility for anything. For the first time ever, the former football star took the stand to defend himself in court, this time for a kidnapping incident that could keep him locked up for as many as 33 years.

As expected, Simpson broke his silence Wednesday (May 15), on day three of a five-day hearing, the end result of which may get him a new trial. Proceedings are currently going on.

The 65-year-old claims attorney Yale Galantar encouraged him to burst into a Las Vegas hotel room alongside a crew of gun-carrying cohorts to recoup memorabilia, from a pair of sports collectors.

Recounting the 2007 incident at the Palace Hotel, Simpson said he was drunk and unaware that weapons would be involved. “I would not have imagined in my wildest dreams that these guys would have guns.” Instead, the father of four stood in shock in the hotel room. “I was kind of stunned,” he continued. “I was looking at stuff I hadn’t seen in 10 years.”

Furthermore, the Bay Area native explained that the collectibles were personal property, not included in items seized to cover a $33.5 million civil suit brought against him by the families of his slain wife and her friend.

Simpson has a reputation for eluding the stand. He passed on testifying during his murder trial over the deaths of the aforementioned spouse, and companion; and once more five years ago during his kidnapping trial.

Pending the outcome of this current hearing Simpson is likely to serve the five more years needed, before he is eligible for parole.

Angelina Jolie Removes Both Breasts to Avoid Cancer

In an op-ed on the New York Times the 37 year old award winning actress, wrote that she underwent the surgery because of her six kids, and watching  mother die from breast cancer.

“My mother fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56. She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was.”

“They have asked if the same could happen to me.”

Doctors told Jolie that she had an 87% chance of getting the deadly disease after the BRCA1 gene that causes breast cancer was found in her system.

Jolie hopes that by making this information public, she would be able to help other women facing the same decision.

“I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.”

Harlem, New York (Photo taken by Sid Grossman courtesy of the New York Public Library)

is a proud son of Brooklyn but an old photo featuring some well-dressed men has many wondering if he had a distant relative in another part of New York City.

This week, a black and white photo dating back to Harlem in 1939 surfaced online via the Schomburg Center’s Tumblr page. in honor of its Research in Black Culture exhibit with a caption asking if the man in picture remind you of anyone. The comments on the page were overwhelmingly pro Jay-Z.

While there’s no official connection between Mr. Carter and the unnamed man, it does make for interesting debate.

Jay-Z has worked with the Schomburg Center in the past. He partnered with the New York Public Library to host an online conversation with scholar Cornel West, breaking down his book Decoded in 2010.

My Short Review of The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby by R. Scott Fitzgerald was a required book to have read in my high school sophomore year; I enjoyed the book so much I read it three times start to finish that year. Think of my excitement when I heard they were making The Great Gatsby movie. Luckily, I was able to go see the movie last night with a group of friends. I walked in expecting to be amazed and love it. I didn’t.

With Leonardo Dicaprio as Jay Gatsby I expected an amazing performance

As the title states, this is a short review, thus I shall touch on my main “likes” and “dislikes”.

What I Liked:

  • Dicaprio as Jay Gatsby, he fits the character perfectly and plays this mysterious, nervous, but luxurious man very well.
  • The sense of how grand some scenes were such as Gatsby’s infamous parties as you could just see that every walk of New York City life came to them
  • The historical accuracy of the movie down to every small detail

What I Disliked:

  • The soundtrack was quite possibly the worst part of this movie. The parties had a band playing, but you never would hear them since their music was covered by Jay Z or Kanye. I’d prefer hearing 1920’s swing music in a movie based in that time period over Kanye West.
  • Some scenes were poorly designed as you could easily tell it was some cheap green screen or made entirely on a computer
  • The constant narrating by Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) and odd scenes were it his words being written on screen.
  • A lack of details compared to the book, granted this a movie.
  • The surrounding cast. I never felt drawn to them as they were just simple characters thrown into the movie to accompany Gatsby and very few were given any explanation as to who they were.
  • The movie as a whole just felt poorly made and had a “cheap” vibe surrounding it.

Overall, I left the theater very disappointed. I’ve always heard that books were always better than the movies based on them and never did I believe the people who told me that. This one time though, the book has the movie beat by light years.
