Jamie Foxx is looking oh so good on the November 2008 cover of Men’s Fitness Magazine. In this issue Jamie talks about how he gets in shape for different movie roles and why he feels it’s important to look different in every role. Peep out what he had to say about changing his look for his new movie, The Soloist.

From playing a professional quarterback in Any Given Sunday to starring as the legendary Ray Charles in Ray,Academy Award-winning actor Jaime Foxx has been willing to do what ever it takes to transform his body to fit his characters. In the December/January issue of Men’s Fitness, Foxx, a former high-school quarterback reveals the secrets and rigors of preparing for some of his most physically challenging roles and why he is willing to make such sacrifices to reach the top of his field. “Awhile back, I did this tribute for Al Pacino,” he says in the issue. “Look back on his body of work and you see the different ways he’s changed. … I want people to look back on [my] body of work and say,’Wow, it’s like he morphed into different characters.”

“I spent hours getting the nuances of the person, making him real. Something angelic happens and you actually become that person. For Nathaniel, I pushed things a bit. I lost about 20 pounds and I put a gap in my teeth. I had one (of my teeth) chipped out with a chisel. My teeth are just so big and white - a homeless person would never have them. I wanted to break up my big, shining piano keys to five them a little character. Some might think I f*cked up my grill for nothing, but I just wanted to come up with some s— to make the part unique.”

J Record’s recording artist Jamie Foxx has been working on his junior effort. Currently, the album is untitled and several tracks have surfaced. The most recent that has surfaced is, “Baby Baby, Damn.” Foxx, delivers a hot steamy filler. This is all my opinion. I don’t really see this track being a single. It’s defiantly just a decent filler track. Hell, it might not even be on the album? Who knows. Regardless, I did enjoy Jamie’s sophomore effort, “Unpredictable.” What do you think?

LISTEN: Jamie Foxx - Baby baby, damn!

LOS ANGELES // SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH 2008 » I didn’t really get a chance to sit down and watch the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, so I can’t really tell you what went down, but judging by the photos, it looks to have been a pretty good show; much better than last year, I hope!

JAMIE FOXX TO PORTRAY MIKE TYSON IN NEW MOVIE » Former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson has chosen actor/comedian Jamie Foxx to portray him in a new movie based on the former boxer’s life story.

“Jamie Foxx and I will be working together,” Tyson told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “He will play me in the film about my life. We already talked about it several times.”

Tyson, who has struggled with drug and alcohol abuse in the past, claims his biopic will serve as a warning to the youth.

“Even when I was training for a fight, there were no drugs, but I would drink,” he said. “I had never been clean and sober my whole life. This is the first time. I’m tired of losing. I lost the trust of my family, my five kids. I didn’t like that way of life and decided to change. I saw the devil and didn”t want that.”

If writing for this biopic actually happens, the movie won’t begin filming until 2009 or 2010. CONTINUE READING
