Jamie Foxx Covers 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.”

Jim Jones Covers Complex Magazine
Jim Jones Covers the December/January issue of Complex Magazine. In the issue Jim Jones talks His acting career, New York Rap, Cam’ron, 50 Cent and of course Rocafella. Peep some of the interview below.
You hear it all the time, but NY rap is still not back to being at the forefront of rap. Who else would you enlist to bring the game back?
Jim Jones: Without my own personal hatred—I got to put all my feelings aside—to bring NY back properly, I would definitely put the Lox as a whole. Definitely 50. I f*ck with 50, and beyond everything we got a mutual understanding. I think we think alike in some ill twisted way. But, it’s still aggressive competition above all, because we all trying to eat out the same pot.
So even with personal hatred aside, Nas and Jay are still not on the roster?
Jim Jones: To bring New York back? Sh*t, why they ain’t bring it back already? It would’ve been back. I didn’t even think about them. The integrity of their music right now is not where we come from any more. Nas is still stuck in Africa, and Jay is talking about way too much money and Merrill Lynch talk and shi*t like that.
More from the interview and pics after the jump!

50 Cent to Donald Trump: “My Show is Better!”
Okay, see this is why we don’t like Sh*tty Cent. In response to Donald Trump calling his new show on MTV, The Money and The Power, a rip-off of The Apprentice, he had this to say:
“Donald Trump talking about my show and how it’s a knockoff of The Apprentice? He’s crazy! That’s what happens when you get older – you start to view things differently. First, let me point out (my show) got the highest ratings. I said, ‘What’s the matter with Donald?’ He’s got a little age on him. He must be getting senile.”

Looks like Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon has not only hurt her “good girl” Disney reputation, but she’s hurting the pockets of her bandmates because The Cheetah Girls have reportedly been nixed from next week’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC. This comes a couple of weeks after semi-nude pics of the ex 3LW member made its rounds on the net.
But, of course, the people behind the parade are denying that the pictures are the reason for the sudden dismissal. They’re blaming it on scheduling conflicts, saying that Adrienne’s leaked pics had nothing to do with it.
