jamie1 On The Scene: Jamie Foxx Sings to Trayvon Martins Parents At Anniversary Vigil

To honor his life, crowds gathered in New York City’s Union Square on Tuesday (February 26) to protest national gun laws and racial profiling on the one-year anniversary of Travon Martin‘s death.

During the candle-lit vigil, Jamie Foxx commended the slained teen’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin.

“I want people to know that this is a personal thing. And I want to thank Sybrina for being so strong because in the midst of all of the swirling and all of the talking points and people standing on both sides, you stood on the side of being a mother,” said Foxx. ”Tracy you stood on the side of being a father. You didn’t talk about color which I thought was absolutely amazing. I looked at all of the different telecasts that you’ve done and you never brought that up.”

“We want to let you know that we love you and we’re not going to leave you,” Foxx told Martin’s parents before breaking into song. Watch the moment below.

Jimmie ‘J.J.’ Walker Explains Idiocy of His Own Anti-Gay Marriage Stance

“There’s just certain traditions that need to be upheld. I’ll give you the other side of it, no it doesn’t affect me, no it doesn’t change my life. There’s just traditions that need to be dealt with. I’m a believer that gay marriage should be passed because the battle is not worth the war. The gay lobby is very loud. I’m totally against it.”

“In 100 years from now, people are going to go, ‘Who was against gay marriage?’ And I’ll be one of those idiots and say, ‘That’s me.’ I’m just against it on moral grounds, that’s it. I’m as much a heathen as anybody. I just don’t believe on moral grounds it should be done. I don’t like it, I don’t accept it.” (Gawker)

Jamie Foxx: Frank Ocean Is ‘Courageous’

“Elton John did it. For Frank Ocean to do it and be hip-hop and black, he’s breaking ground, and kudos to him. At the end of the day, his music is for everybody,” Foxx told MTV News correspondent Josh Horowitz before breaking into a bit of comedy.

“Now when I put his music on, I am trying to get at the ladies. Frank, you helping me out. You done left more for me, Frank,” he said jokingly.

“When I heard that he came out, I thought, ‘Courageous, hooray for him,’ ” Foxx continued. “It’s just the beginning. I have several friends who live in darkness and live in fear, and it’s just time. (MTV)

For the hundredth time, never trust people whose teeth are whiter than their eyeballs. I am looking at you, Chad Ochocinco, Brandy and now Guy Torry.

A scruffy Jamie Foxx rubbed elbows with Bird’s husband Mekhi Phifer, Guy Torry, NFL baller Vince Young and others at the Playboy Mansion on Monday night (June 9). Hugh Hefner’s house party served as the kick-off to this week’s ESPY Awards. For the sake of being  messy I hope someone pulled a Reggie Bush and got it poppin’ in the grotto with one of Hugh’s honeys.

Speaking with The Source during the Foxxhole Radio All-White Party at The Pool After Dark at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City, the ‘Django Unchained’ actor explained why he chose to rock a red tribute t-shirt to Trayvon Martin at the BET Awards ’12 earlier this month.

“I’ll tell you what It means to everybody; everybody that got kids. I got an 18 year-old daughter, she got 18 year-old boy friends. My thing, I come from the kid-aspect of it,” he began. “It’s like when I see the Trayvon Martin case, sometimes it shocks me that people would have anything negative to say about finding justice for a child.”
