There's an interesting profile of Jamie Foxx in the Sunday New York Times. The Oscar-winning actor covers the Style Magazine and the editorial is stunning, featuring the Oscar-winning actor in a killer Prada suit and cotton tuxedo shirt by Ike Behar. The shadows and lighting—especially the blues and blacks—offer a retro, film noir quality. It's perfectly in tune with Jamie's current project: Wrapping the film adaptation of Miami Vice. Foxx's television interviews tend to be manic; thankfully, in print he comes across much more reflective and serene. Lynn Hirschberg caught up with the actor at a Miami recording studio. Her description of a Frank Sinatra-esque Jamie melt like butter on a hot dinner roll:
Foxx sits at the piano and begins to improvise. "This is my first love," he says to no one in particular. "I played in church when I was a kid, and I had a preacher who told me: 'Don't kill yourself trying to get to heaven. Enjoy life."' Foxx starts to croon. "You don't have to be a saint on earth," he sings. "It won't do you any good."
All the Right Moves (NYT)
Jamie is a strong black man. He takes perfect pictures!!!! Keep your head up MY KING ON EARTH. You can do just about anything you put your mind and hands too and it would be done just right

Jamie did a photo shoot a few months ago
at the LENOX LOUNGE,
formerly featured by Spike Lee in
film.[She's Gotta Have It (?)]
About a dozen of us viewed shutter
action inside, as Jamie threw a few
playful glances outside, in between
shots, to some roun'da way girls
and fellas peering-in at this very smooth,
cool & oh so, sweet brutha!
Leaving LENOX LOUNGE for his limo,
he gave lots of love,
shaking all of our hands,
sharing a word or two!
Jamie's the real deal with mass appeal:
a FOXX to friends & fans!
Made in Heaven but Down to Earth!
