Foxx's Head Gets Bigger Along With His Paycheck
Source: Janet Charlton
Tongues are wagging that Jamie Foxx isn't very easy to get along with these days, now that his star has risen and his ego has blossomed exponentially. He downplayed that big head of his recently when discussing his 'Dreamgirls' rols with Oprah. Apparently he was so keen on getting that role, he says he would have done anything to get it, even do it for nothing. That was definitely news to the Disney bigwigs, since Foxx was the one who held out for the most money before signing on to the project. Then after playing the primadonna card, some critics are buzzing that he basically "phoned in" his role in the film, and certainly didn't give a stand out performance. Word is that Jamie was upset that he didn't receive any awards nods, but no one else in the industry is surprised. Ouch!
