Jamie Foxx has decided to pursue legal action for an incident that he said took place at Beverly Hills restaurant that left him with a facial injuries. The ‘Annie’ star was having a celebratory evening with family when the incident happened.

Here are the details.

Jamie Foxx Decides To Cooperate With Law Enforcement Amid Legal Action

Jamie Foxx is determined he’d get his justice against a man who threw a drinking glass at him, and to do this, he has decided to fully co-operate with the police. Foxx was reportedly having fun with some members of his family at the Mr. Chow restaurant when it happened.

According to TMZ, Foxx’s decision to pursue legal action extends beyond personal justice – he wants to make sure people know that there are consequences to these actions and perhaps this might keep it from happening to other people.

Johnny Knoxville is open to the idea of Jackass 5, but doesn't feel the urge to make it yet, still jotting down ideas for the potential movie. If it gets greenlit, Knoxville has previously suggested leaning on the younger cast members introduced in Forever to continue the franchise in a safe and fresh way. Passing the torch to new stars while still including original cast members could keep Jackass alive for future generations.

Despite seemingly indicating the prior movie was the end for him in the franchise, Jackass 5 has gotten an exciting update from Johnny Knoxville. The co-creator/star returned to his stunt-driven property with 2022's Jackass Forever, the fourth theatrical movie which was largely touted as being the final installment, particularly for Knoxville and Steve-o, after the injuries endured throughout the years. Following Forever's record-breaking reviews and strong box office run, however, speculation of a fifth movie began swirling.

During...

The stars of the Jackass franchise are known for their death-defying stunts and hilarious pranks, but two of the cast members also have side hustles that consist of selling tacos and hot sauce. Begun as a reality series on MTV in the early 2000s, Jackass has since spawned multiple feature films and branched out with a number of spinoffs starring members of its stunt-comedy troupe. Over the years, Jackass cast members have also acted in other movies, played sports professionally, performed stand-up comedy, and become investors in various commercial enterprises.

Considering the Jackass gig is not consistent — the latest of the theatrically released Jackass movies, Jackass Forever, arrived more than a decade after its predecessor — it makes sense that the cast members have other moneymaking ventures. Plus, through Jackass and their additional activities, the stars of the franchise have become rich and famous enough to lend their names and their...

With the pandemic still raging on and many, myself included, still feeling nervous about heading to the theaters, streaming services have been a lifeline for film fans. Netflix still reigns as the victor of the streaming wars and is continuing to establish itself as a certifiable force as a production company. The streamer led the Academy Award nominations last year with "The Power of the Dog," and there's a good chance they'll have plenty to celebrate in the coming weeks regarding this year's slate. 2022 was a time for restructuring and recouping massive losses, but Netflix still managed to put out some undeniably great original narrative features. As we head toward 2023, here are the 15 best original Netflix films of the year, including a few that haven't arrived on the app just yet.

Jackass 4.5

Okay, yeah, I'm kicking off this list by cheating because Netflix didn't make this film, but whatever, it's...

Johnny Knoxville explains how Jackass 5 would look somewhat different from the previous Jackass films if they were to move forward with another installment. Having started out as a series on MTV in 2000, Knoxville and his friends made their long-awaited return to screens earlier this year for the fourth Jackass feature film, Jackass Forever. More than ten years on from the release of Jackass 3, audiences were delighted to see Steve-o, Chris Pontius, Jason 'Wee Man' Acuña, Preston Lacy, Dave England, and Ehren McGhehey reunite for another round of ridiculous stunts and hilarious gags.

Alongside these returning fan favorites, the Jackass gang was joined by a handful of newbies as they were initiated into the group through a variety of wild stunts. Jackass Forever welcomed Sean 'Poopies' McInerney, Jasper Dolphin, Eric Manaka, Zach Holmes, Rachel Wolfson, and Compston 'Dark Shark' Wilson to the much-loved franchise, with these new faces having certainly held...

Exclusive: Tyler, The Creator has reteamed with Lionel Boyce and Davon ‘Jasper’ Wilson, two of his bandmates in the Odd Future collective and producers on Adult Swim series Loiter Squad for a new animated comedy at Fox.

The network is developing Shell Beach and has handed the project, which comes from Fox Entertainment and Bento Box Entertainment, a script commitment.

The show follows an overzealous lifeguard named Wally and his very smart, but lazy partner, Tyson, who, along with their unique group of friends, inhabit Shell Beach – the most famous beach town in the world. Wally’s passion to be the best lifeguard often makes very simple problems become much more complex than they ever would need to be.

Boyce and Wilson, two members of the LA hip hop group, are writing and exec producing the project. The pair both co-created, wrote and produced Loiter Squad, the sketch comedy series...

Brad Paisley isn’t going to let any fears get the best of him.

The country star, 44, who just released the first country visual album, Love and War, admits sometimes he has an irrational fear when it comes to travel. “I get more scared of traveling than I should,” he tells People in this week’s issue. “We were just in Europe; it was the greatest vacation of our lives.”

The singer and his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, took their two sons, Huck, 10, and Jasper, 8, on a tour that included London, Dublin, Prague, Rome, Sienna and Florence. “They wanted to...

When Seth Rogen isn’t baiting Bieber, effing around with Efron, or frighteningly serving as a Franco painting subject, he apparently likes to dress up like a little girl and toss around the pigskin.

Or at least that’s what he’s doing as a guest star on tonight’s episode of Loiter Squad (midnight, Adult Swim), Odd Future’s sketch comedy show that kicked off its third season last week. (Their mutual admiration continues, as Rogen was seen wearing an Odd Future hat and T-shirt in Neighbors.) Click on the video below to watch Tyler, the Creator, Jasper Dolphin,...

Annual video game awards show change name, format, and broadcast exclusively online to show off amazing game footage, but is that enough?

 

On Saturday evening, Spike brought their annual Vga awards online for the first time in its history. The awards, now retitled Vgx, was a three hour webcast event exclusively streamed on Viacoms Cable Network websites, Yahoo Screen, Xbox Live and Twitch. The event, which was hosted by Gametrailers own Geoff Keighley and Joel McHale(Community, The Soup) eschewed the traditional large award show format of previous years and instead replaced it with a format of interviews, award presentation, trailer reveals and audience participation, which drew mixed commentary from the audience. However, the evening had its share of highlights and lowlights, both from developers and the talent themselves

The Highlights:

In the spirit of Halloween, the stars of Adult Swim's "Loiter Squad" -- Tyler the Creator, Taco, Jasper, Lionel Boyce, and Earl Sweatshirt, otherwise known as the rap collective, Odd Future -- have debuted a short film entitled "The Ghost of the Hotel (The Movie)." The film recounts the alleged death of a little girl by a staircase in, as you'd expect, a hotel. Sweatshirt and Boyce play the detectives on the scene of the crime as they interrogate Tyler and Jasper. The eccentric Los-Angeles based Mc's incorporate the same antics they exercise in their show in the film, which they describe thusly: "Tyler, Jasper, Lionel, Taco And Earl Thought Of This At 4 In The Morning Knowing It Would Be One Of The Greatest Movies Of All Time." See if you agree:...

The man currently sitting atop the Billboard Hot 200 Albums chart shouldn't be there.

"Long.Live.A$AP," Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky's much anticipated major label debut (Polo Grounds/RCA) received fine reviews and a healthy amount of promotion (Rocky did the usual circuit of hip-hop magazines and added a well-tailored Letterman performance for good measure). The album also didn't feature much in the way of competition during its opening week -- the No. 2 album is "Kidz Bop 23," which sold 78,000 copies. But it's still highly impressive that Rocky moved 139,000 units (according to Nielsen SoundScan), because the album has been widely available on the internet for over a month.

The project leaked in December, well ahead of it's Jan. 15 release date. The leak was met with both excitement and disappointment: While fans were eager to hear the new material, executives and critics both bemoaned the effect it may have on Rocky's career.

15) Out Of The Game – Rufus Wainwright

Director: Phillip Andelman

The mere presence of the fantastic Helena Bonham Carter is the reason this video made the list. In this brilliant fantasy of a video the equally fantastic Rufus Wainwright gives a funny performance by embodying different personalities. The two of them together is a visual treat full of wistful moments.

14) The Only Place – Best Coast

Director: Ace Norton

This fun video for the upbeat comeback single from Best Coast accompanies the love letter to California vibe the track has going on perfectly. The California-obsessed duo cruise around the state as we see them indulge in fun activities such as leave their mark, smash TVs and make blended beverages.

13) Blue Velvet – Lana Del Rey

Director: Johan Renck

As the face of H&M’s fashion collection for Autumn 2012, Renck and Lana teamed up for this beautifully eerie, Lynch-esque music video/advert.

As Max Bell noted in his round-up of L.A. rap earlier this month, it was a very good year for hip-hop in our city, with all corners of the varied scene -- from Open Mike Eagle's smart 4Nml Hsptl to Odd Future's rambunctious The Of Tape Vol. 2 to Ty$ and Joe Moses' raunchy Whoop! -- well represented. Oh, and then there was a certain South Central-based collective you may have heard of. In any case, since we like to play favorites, here are our top five.

A fan who suffered a nasty onstage beatdown at the hands of rap group Odd Future continues to be viciously attacked ... only now, it's by bitter fans on the Internet -- and the 17-year-old tells us, he's scared for his life.TMZ broke the story ... Chassan Rasagi got his ass whooped by the group after jumping on stage at an Of show in San Antonio earlier this month -- and claims he suffered serious injuries as a result ... including lacerations,...

It was the year of the underdog. Odd Future crooner Frank Ocean went off on his own and captured the world’s attention with his stellar songwriting. Doing very few interviews, and rarely figuring on TV or in front of paparazzi cameras, even during the promotion of his debut album Channel Orange. Ocean let his music speak for itself. With one big exception: the letter he wrote on his Tumblr on July 3. It was a missive that he’d originally planned to include in his liner notes disclosing that his first love was a man. His coming out was met with cheers from fans and peers, who applauded his bravery. A week later, his debut shot to No. 2 on the Billboard charts selling over 130,000 units in its first week. Frank Ocean’s smooth voice, impeccable songwriting and low-key profile are why he’s #10 on our list of celebrities who dominated...

A brawl at an Odd Future show has drawn the attention of authorities in San Antonio, Texas.

The fight occurred during the rap collective's Dec. 8 show at the White Rabbit in San Antonio. Chassan Rafati, 17, filed a police report against the group reports MTV News, alleging that the group's attack left him with scratches and bruises. The incident wasn't reported to police until six days after the show, and MTV News notes Rafati offered video evidence of the altercation to authorities.

"A person could be observed jumping on stage but the assault could not be observed on camera," reads the report.

A fan video posted to YouTube also shows what appears to be a fight during which someone rushes the stage only to be surrounded by members of the Odd Future crew.

TMZ (who identified the 17-year-old fan as Chassan Rasagi) posted photos of bruises allegedly obtained during the incident.

After claiming several Grammy nominations, appearing on just about every year-end list, and graduating to shows where it's unlikely anyone will be hit in the face, Frank Ocean—your mom's favorite Odd Future member, next to Taco—is currently making his post-Channel Orange plans with the pragmatism and humility one would expect after such a meteoric rise. "I might not make another album," Ocean tells the Guardian. "I don't intend to stop making music… But I do think it would be fucking legendary if I just made Channel Orange last year, then put out a best-selling ...

Hip-hop and hug-dispensing collective Odd Future made an unexpected deviation from its usual convention of dispensing hugs, leaving a fan at its Dec. 8 San Antonio show to consider suing the group. As you can (sort of) see from the video below, 17-year-old Chassan Rasagi jumped up during one of the many Odd Future songs about the awesomeness of hugs, only to incite a violent melee in which he was tossed like "a human ping pong ball" between audience and stage, allegedly leaving him with lacerations, scratches, and burns. Ragasi also claims he later suffered two seizures. Some in attendance ...

A 17-year-old named Chassan Rasagi jumped onstage in San Antonio, and things devolved from there. Rasagi suffered lacerations to his head and burns to his body; TMZ says he plans to sue. For their part, the Odd Future kids claim that Rasagi threw the first punch and is just trying to get rich. This is a flattering story for all parties.

Several members of the rap group Odd Future unleashed an unholy beatdown on a fan who dared to jump on stage during a show -- a fight captured on video -- and now, the fan is gearing up to sue.17-year-old Chassan Rasagi filed a police report with the San Antonio Pd, claiming they beat the ever-lovin' hell out of him.Sources tell us ...

Jessie Ware has unveiled the music video for her latest single 'Sweet Talk'. The singer plays a mum in the clip, while her on-screen daughter plays a younger Ware with a crush on a boy. The video has picked up over 125,000 views in less than 24 hours after Odd Future frontman Tyler, The Creator tweeted a link to it with the message: "Damn This Song Is So Sickkkkkkk. The Sweet Talk Song That Is." 'Sweet Talk' - officially released (more)...

This is Earl Sweatshirt on "open." Over a sparse, hypnotic piano production called "Chum," the 18-year-old Odd Future Mvp starts here: "It's probably been twelve years since my father left / left me fatherlessness / and I just used to say I hate him in dishonest jest / when honestly I miss this nigga like when I was 6 / and every time when I got the chance to say it, I would swallow it." Damn. He discusses Tyler, the Creator's big brother role and being "too black for the white kids and too white for the blacks," spitting it all through effortless-sounding mazes of internal rhymes apt to make a listener issue an additional damn. Matching the introspective (and happily devoid of domestic violence or anything Odd Future-ishly cringe-worthy at all, really) track is a black-and-white clip of Earl floating through darkened streets filled with phantoms and frogs. (What...

In what just might be his most revealing interview yet, hip-hop star Frank Ocean is finally opening up about his decision to pen a coming out letter on his blog earlier this year.

"The night I posted it, I cried like a f**king baby," the singer, who is part of the hip-hop collective Odd Future and has also written songs for Justin Bieber, John Legend and Beyoncé, told GQ magazine. "It was like all the frequency just clicked to a change in my head. All the receptors were now receiving a different signal, and I was happy. I hadn't been happy in so long. I've been sad again since, but it's a totally different take on sad. There's just some magic in truth and honesty and openness."

Ocean also admits he did worry about whether or not the move would have a negative impact on his career. "So, you know,...

2012 has been pretty good to Frank Ocean. The Odd Future member, rapper and singer bravely came out online, dropped one of the best albums of the year with channelOrange, and became so popular that just last week his tunes were used to soundtrack an episode of "Gossip Girl." Really. Now, if all goes according to plan, he'll have one last hurrah before the year is out. GQ recently profiled Ocean and in wrapping things up, they noted that "he's got at least five projects in the works, among them a song he wrote for Quentin Tarantino's 'Django Unchained'...." Well, that's certainly a nice surprise. In fact, of all the things known about Qt's upcoming slavery/vengeance tale, it's the soundtrack that has been the most guarded it seems. The trailers have been using James Brown's "The Payback" -- a pretty obvious choice all around -- but Ocean...

Odd Future has won over young fans with its anti-establishment irreverence; likewise, record executives love Odd Future for its uncanny ability to get young people to buy stuff. This fall, young people will have even more Odd Future to love and/or buy when the hip-hop collective releases four new albums and embarks upon a national tour. Already, hundreds of thousands of people who don’t shop at Target have Frank Ocean’s debut. On August 1, fellow Odd Future member Domo Genesis drops No Idols with production help by The Alchemist. A month later on Oct. 2, Mellowhype’s ...

As a guest voice on Watch the Throne or a modest presence in the rabble-rousing rap group Odd Future, Frank Ocean tends to leave a calming effect on everything he touches. It’s interesting, then, that he seems at his most comfortable when he’s making big statements, like the one he made with that letter he posted to his Tumblr on July 4, a response to a music critic who asked about gender pronouns on his new album. The letter, originally intended to be liner notes for the physical copy of Channel Orange, told the story of Frank’s first love, who...

50 Cent has supported Frank Ocean's decision to speak openly about his sexuality. Ocean generated headlines earlier this month, when he revealed that his first love was a man. He also said that songs on his new album Channel Orange were inspired by the romance. The Odd Future star has received messages of support from Russell Simmons, Busta Rhymes and Adele, with 50 Cent now praising the musician as well. "Anyone that has an issue with Frank Ocean is an idiot. I think Frank Ocean is a talented artist, I think he's created material that made me know his name, that impressed me, with things he said on a song like 'Novacane'," 50 Cent told MTV UK. 50 Cent added of (more)...
