Karma is a beeeeyyootch! Security Firm Sues George Zimmerman And Family For $270,000 In Unpaid Fees Scumbag jailbird George Zimmerman is being sued by a security firm for unpaid fees to the the tune of $270,000 dollars. Raise your hand if you feel bad for him. We’ll wait. via The Grio George Zimmerman, his wife and his attorney are being sued by the Associated Investigative Services security company for approximately $27,000 in unpaid bodyguard fees. AIS alleges in a recently filed civil complaint that ever since an independent trustee took over the administration of Zimmerman’s defense fund, payment for its contracted security services has ceased. The company asserts that Zimmerman’s attorney Mark O’Mara hired AIG on June 26. Subsequent to that date, the firm claims it has provided nearly constant watch over the defendant, who is facing second degree murder charges for killing Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teen, on February 26 in Sanford, Florida. Awww poor thang. Better use some of those funds from his autograph sessions earlier this year to make it rain….
When arriving on the set of Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” one day, Leonardo DiCaprio walked past co-star Jamie Foxx without even a glance. “I said, ‘What’s up, Leo?’” Jamie tells Oprah in an “Oprah’s Next Chapter” interview airing December 23 on OWN. “He did not speak to me.” When he got no response, Jamie says he asked himself, “Did he not hear me?” Watch the clip to find out the real reason Leo gave Jamie the silent treatment… OWN AJC
Weeks after the sudden bankruptcy and closure of Hostess, Foxx dressed as dearly departed snack cake Ding Dong to lament the amount of attention given to his “snack brother from another batter”: Twinkie. “Y#39;all act like Twinkie is the only one with a delicious, creamy filling,” he said before accusing America of “snack profiling.” At least he now has time to return to the rap game: There#39;s a reason Jamie Foxx has an Oscar on his mantel. Not only can he act, the Ray star can sing, rap, an
Audio from Shannen Doherty’s 911 call has been embedded below. The Los Angeles based star made the call last month when one of her Twitter fans sent her direct messages about “killing herself if she didn#39;t get a call from her.” Doherty is heard on the call giving details to a 911 operator in Westhampton, New Jersey where her distressed fan was believed to be living. “This is going to sound incredibly strange cause it does to me as well,” she can be heard telling the operator. “My name

Jamie Foxx is posted up on the December issue of Men’s Health magazine and from the looks of his biceps, we’re wondering just how powerful Django Unchained is going to be. Here are a few snippets from his interview in the mag: Jamie on why playing a cowboy in Django Unchained was second nature to him… “I watched Bonanza. I watched Hee Haw. I spun guns on my finger. Every kid, if you were in Texas, wanted to be a cowboy, whether you were black, white, Mexican, whatever.” Jamie after delving into centuries of American racism for Django Unchained… [A few onscreen fistfights were] “actually a breath of fresh air, to get all that tension out.” Jamie on being one of the most adaptable entertainers in the business… “You just have to live. As a comedian, you have to do it in different rooms. You can do it in the hood; I did it in the hood for a long time. And I took that same muscle and did it uptown, where the audience is Robert De Niro and Al Pacino and all those guys. You still remain the same person, and you get your stamp. It’s like a passport.” Jamie on the one experience that gave him a certain authority on the set of Any Given Sunday… “I got into the movie, and there’s Al Pacino, there’s Cameron Diaz, there’s James Woods, there’s all these incredible actors. But the one thing I had on my side: I played football. And I knew more about football than any of these guys. That’s what I relied on.” Jamie on his evolving career… “One thing I’ve learned: You have to rely on someone to tell you what is hot and what’s not as you get older. That’s what I do; I ask. When Kanye was telling me about ‘Slow Jamz,’ I was trying to sing it all happy, and he was like, ‘Don’t do that. This is hip-hop. Trust me, the simpler it is, the more effective it is.’ Music is changing. If you don’t change with it, you’ll be at the casino performing: ‘How y’all feel out there tonight?’ I’m still learning how to stay relevant and current–and at the same time not lose who I am, not be too young.” Jamie on his willingness to unlearn to stay on top… “Here’s what you’re going to unlearn now: Somehow you have to pull yourself away from media, not be so shiny in the next 10 years, because it hurts the art. When you go on talk shows, you have to be lighthearted, which helps and hurts. Now I’ve got to change the satellite a little bit. That’s the tricky part now. How do you navigate through the world you live in and still be an artist? Because that’s the only thing that’s going to survive.” Jamie on doing pushups during down time at his cover shoot… “It goes back to when you’re a kid looking in the mirror, and you want to be the guy in the magazine.” Images via Men’s Health Magazine
Jamie’s getting back to his roots and he’ll have Ne-Yo alongside him as the musical guest star. Foxx is starring in Quentin Tarantino‘s upcoming film Django Unchained, which is coming out Christmas Day, and Ne-Yo’s R.E.D. dropped November 6th. The Oscar-award winner and Grammy-award winner will appear on the December 8th episode. Will you watch?? Images via tumblr
