Jaime Foxx Says Hotel Didn't Believe He Was Being Attacked

Jaime Foxx was attacked by a crazed fan in his hotel room earlier this month [click here for the story] and says the hotel was of no help. Jamie says, "I open the door and there's a guy with a beard and braids... He goes, 'Hey, I'm with Beyonce', and that's when I went, 'Hell, I know this nigga ain't hanging with no Beyonce!' So I'm like, 'You said what?' And he goes, 'I'm with Beyonce, Jamie, you gonna let me in? What's going on?' "He's trying to get in the door, I get him out the door, slam the door on the nigga, call the front desk, and the concierge, he's like, 'Whatsoever did you mean there's someone trying to get in your room?' I'm like, 'Motherfucker, call the authorities, this shit is going down! Call somebody!' "(But) he don't wanna come up there 'cause he's thinking it's some bull. So he don't come up, one of the cleaner dudes come up there. He (the stalker) gets spooked and runs downstairs. The next day I go to work, the dude comes back dressed as a delivery man. So he comes back in disguise, they let him back in again... We finally get the undercover cops... The dude comes back the last day, the third day... So this time the police chase him down the street, they catch the dude, they take the dude in and now he's in a mental hospital for a 60-day evaluation, so this motherfucker was crazy."
And speaking of Jaime, he says he's in talks to bring his character 'Ugly Wanda' from 'In Living Color' to the big screen.

German Pop Star Released From Jail

The singer from the German girl band No Angels arrested on suspicion of infecting a partner with HIV has been released from custody. Prosecutors say Nadja Benaissa, 26, had unprotected sex with three men without informing them she was infected, and that one later tested positive himself. Ms Benaissa's lawyers said she should enjoy the presumption of innocence. A spokesman for a court in the town of Darmstadt said her release was subject to certain undisclosed conditions. Ms Benaissa was arrested in Frankfurt 10 days previously, before she was due to perform in a solo concert. The prosecutor's office in the western town of Darmstadt said she had been detained because of the "urgent suspicion" that she slept with three people between 2004 and 2006, without telling them she was HIV-positive. She reportedly faces a possible charge of grievous bodily harm. But her lawyers note that there is no proof that she infected anyone. Benaissa was chosen to join No Angels in 2000 through the TV casting show Popstars. The group recorded a series of hits and emerged as Germany's most successful girl band.

The Soloist Almost Drove J Foxx Insane

In Jaime Foxx new film 'The Soloist' he plays a man suffering from schizophrenia and says he almost dropped out of the film because of an experience he had when he was 18. Jaime told the LA Times, "When I was 18, somebody slipped something in my drink and it ripped me apart. I had to go to the hospital. I mean, I was gone, it was the kind of trip that... you’re losing your mind. I kept thinking, ‘I can’t live like this'. It didn’t go away, either - for 11 months, I had flashbacks. After what happened when I was 18, when I was at music school, at International University in San Diego, I had a roommate named Mark, a white kid from Nebraska, he would have to talk me to sleep because I would have all of these crazy thoughts. I would go down to the pianos... and I would just play music for hours on end just to keep my mind from the crazy stuff."
J also says, "I thought about just walking away from this movie. I got really worried, I felt all these things. I went to a psychiatrist and I actually asked, 'Can I catch schizophrenia?' Now I know you can’t, but I also knew I had this thing happen to me before, and it felt like it was going to happen again. It’s one thing to go crazy and not know it, but, if you feel yourself slipping in, then it’s like drowning, going down. That’s how I felt as a teenager, and just getting close to it again, I could feel the sweat coming, and I felt like I had to run out of there."
