Who would have thought that watching Jamie Foxx doing standup all those years ago, we were in fact watching him blossom from comedian to official Hollywood royalty. Well Hollywood has taken note and honoured him with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame making him the 2,347th celebrity to be immortalised on the famous sidewalk. In his acceptance speech he paid tribute to the grandmother who raised him. “My grandmother’s gotta be spreading her wings and flying around in heaven, just so happy,” Foxx said. “This is one of the most amazing days of my life.” Foxx won the best actor in the 2005 Academy Awards for his portrayal of soul legend Ray Charles, in the biopic, Ray. The ceremony came two weeks ahead of the release of Foxx's next film, The Kingdom which also stars Jennifer Garner and Chris Cooper, where he stars as a member of a US counter-terrorism unit on the hunt for the mastermind of a bombing in Saudi Arabia. Foxx's other film credits include musical Dreamgirls and the big screen version of Miami Vice. His recent album Unpredictable won him the best male prize at the Soul Train Awards earlier this year.

"You look good tonight Jamie"...... "No Colin you look good"....... " No but they love your foxy smile Jamie"......."But Colin, you have those smouldering eyes" I dont think I'm far off the real conversation on the red carpet last night. Jamie Fox and Colin Farrell definitely worked their cheesy charms at the Miami Vice Premiere in California last night. They both looked very dashing in their suits. Michelle Rodriguez let the team down though with her scruffy ponytail. Perhaps she had come straight from the set of Lost where they dont have combs. Although it looks like Colin set her straight.
