Yes, Damaja, Rita knew him BEST, but she57;s not the ONLY one who knew him. Bob Marley says his music will live forever because of his music. And when he goes, his children will be making music. And they are. Just because Rita has control of the pursestrings, people with money usually want more money. Let us ask his children how they feel about Jamie Foxx playing their father. I googled Mr. B and he seems to be quite the filmmaker, though I57;ve seen nothing that he has done. But not even seeing his work, but knowing he and Rita made this decision makes me question their motive for choosing Jamie Foxx out of all the Jamaican actors in the world, and his sons, who look, sound and probably could act like Bob to make it more authentic. People are tired of seeing commercial garbage. Then you have the Ethiopian Church and other Rastafariansd who will surely stand up and defend the legacy of Bob Marley , even if the filmmaker and Rita don57;t have a clue. Bob57;s music is being played all over the world because of its lasting message (worldmusic.about.com....screen.htm)

Comments: You know an entertainer is hot when he or she becomes the subject of multiple rumors simultaneously. Earlier this week Jamie Foxx was called upon to confirm or deny scuttlebutt connecting him romantically with "Desperate Housewives " star Eva Longoria , which he did, ironically, during a publicity session one of many he has done in recent days for his January 25, 2006 NBC special, "Unpredictable. (urbanlegends.about.com....e_foxx.htm)

Actor, writer, and director Peter Berg (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS) delivers a fearless, action-packed political thriller with THE KINGDOM . Shot in the Middle East with unsettling immediacy, the hand-held cameras put viewers right inside the action, while the tension between American FBI agents and their Saudi counterparts maintains an interesting uncertainty about who's 'right' and who's 'wrong'. The bad guys, however, are unmistakable: the film opens with a brutal terrorist attack on an oil company compound in Saudi Arabia, where a visiting FBI agent is killed. Back home in Washington, fellow agents Ronald Fleury (Jamie Foxx , RAY) and Janet Mayes (Jennifer Garner , ALIAS) want revenge , and will do whatever it takes to gain access to the investigation . Fleury all but blackmails a Saudi prince to get clearance against the wishes of a timorous attorney general, and flies overnight to the scene of the crime. Accompanying him are the no-nonsense forensics expert Mayes, Southern-fried bomb authority Grant Sykes (Chris Cooper , ADAPTATION ), and smart aleck Adam Leavitt (Jason Bateman , ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT (www.amazon.co.uk....40-2738846)

The movie starts sets out its stall right at the start, with the titles overlaying a potted history of Saudi so far, and how we came to the present time and the tenuous `alliance' between the US and Saudi. From there we have a terrorist event which takes place in Riyadh, targeting Americans, so that the FBI feel the need to send a team, led by Jamie Foxx , and including an unlikely but strangely believable crew including Jennifer Garner (Alias, Elektra) and Jason Bateman (Arrested Develoment). They have to work closely with the at first distant Saudi police Colonel whose job it is to protect them (www.amazon.co.uk....40-2738846)

Okay, so Eva's not 21 anymore still, with all the vivacity she displayed bouncing out of Hyde following her birthday party last night , it's a forgivable mistake to make! Of course, given that we caught Jamie Foxx slipping into the club via the back door a few minutes before the birthday girl arrived, Eva's high spirits may have something to do with something other than the presents she received the pair may just be friends , but since when does an appearance from Jamie Foxx fail to thrill the ladies (x17online.com....amie_foxx/)

Jamie is busy doing his thing on The Foxxhole , his weekly show on Sirius Satellite Radio show. And while an incredible LG Beach House in Malibu provides a spectacular summer backdrop, no subject is off-limits with Jamie, as Shaun found out during her stay as a special guest (www.celebritydogwatcher.com....amie-foxx/)

âItâs a cultural thing, I think,â Jamie said. âMost brothers didnât know that, you know. I used to see dogs fighting in the neighborhood all the time. I didnât know that was Fed time. So, mike probably just didnât read his handbook on what not to do as a black star. (www.celebritydogwatcher.com....amie-foxx/)

While he has a way of lightening even the most sensitive of subjects, Jamie is sincere in his belief that the quarterback is not being given a fair shak (www.celebritydogwatcher.com....amie-foxx/)

âI know that cruelty to animals is bad, but sometimes people shoot people and kill people and donât get time,â Jamie continued. âI think in this situation, he really didnât know the extent of it, so I always give him the benefit of the doubt. (www.celebritydogwatcher.com....amie-foxx/)

6. what fun is it to see your name on a Hollywood star, when it is NOT your real name? Jamie Fox is a phony name, what was wrong with his real name? And wouldnt it be more pleasurable to see your real name on a star? why cant we all live in the truth? and tell the truth? Everything is so phony (www.tmz.com....-sidewalk/)

Personally, I was beyond impressed at Foxx's portrayal of Ray Charles in 2004's Ray , and I think he'll do justice to Marley as well. I also think a movie of this magnitude could bring about a resurgence of interest in reggae music . especially if Kanye West samples a Jamie-Foxx-as-Bob-Marley hook, as he did with Gold Digger . I don't think a new crowd of reggae fans is a bad thing. what do you think (worldmusic.about.com....screen.htm)

I truly think this is a horrible, horrible idea! This is what Hollywood does, they search for the big names for the BIG budgets but forget that the story is what is most important. The legend of Bob Marley is something to be respected and brought to people who know and whom do not know him with class not made a mockery by picking some actor from hollywood because he could portray another singer well. Besides Jamie Foxx isn57;t even mullatto70; At least get someone who can more justly be seen as a possible relative to Marley himself. It57;s as bad as when Flex played Michael Jackso (worldmusic.about.com....screen.htm)

That57;s a great point, Damaja. The plans for the movie are, from what I understand, being very closely watched by Rita, and frankly, I57;m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. She may also be being realistic, knowing that more people will get to hear Marley57;s story if a big-name actor plays him than if a smaller-time guy is the leading man . And, as far as I57;m concerned, Jamie Foxx has yet to disappoint me in terms of acting ability. Nope, maybe he doesn57;t look just like Marley (particularly concerning skin tone), but Marley was a staunch advocate for erasing 60;color lines61; in the world70; I can57;t imagine skin color being an objection that would even pop into Marley57;s hea (worldmusic.about.com....screen.htm)

Young Jeezy now has more reason to proclaim "yeeeeaaaah." While the ATL-ien nabbed 4 nominations for the 2006 Billboard Music Awards behind Kanye West (7 nominations). The highlight of this year's event rests on actor-turned-singer Jamie Foxx who leads the pack with an impressive 8 nominations. Interestingly, Mariah Carey and Mary J Blige , each with 7 nominations, are up against each other in all 7 categories. Looks like 50 Cent will have a lot to complain about this time.
