Nick Cannon has a lot of love for Jamie Foxx.
It was revealed this week that Cannon would be filling in for Foxx as the guest host of “Beat Shazam” during its sixth season.
The news came amid Foxx’s hospitalization in Atlanta after suffering an emergency “medical complication” three weeks ago.
Cannon then said on his “The Daily Cannon” radio show on Thursday, “Sending prayers to my brother Jamie Foxx in a big way and you know, it was announced that I’m filling in for my big brother and I gotta tell you this… there would be no Nick Cannon if it wasn’t for Jamie Foxx.”

He continued, “I love this brother and in a real family type way, man he looked out for me when I didn’t have a place to sleep as a teenager.

Chloë took to the stage at the BET Awards on June 26 to perform her new song, "Surprise," before launching into a short rendition of Adina Howard's "Freak Like Me," and finishing with her hit "Treat Me." Chloë wore a shiny leather coat, which she removed to reveal a glittering bodysuit, and at one point, she danced around a blindfolded man seated in the center of the stage. The sultry performance showcased Chloë's talent for spectacle and undeniable star power.
The 23-year-old actor and musician was nominated for best R&b/pop artist at this year's BET Awards. She was also nominated for video of the year for her "Have Mercy" video. That song also earned Chloë a nomination for the BET Her Award. And if that wasn't exciting enough, she and her sister, Halle Bailey, were nominated for best group. Halle was in the audience at the ceremony and...

When it comes to indie filmmaking, few directors get as much mileage out of their limited budget than Joel Potrykus. Rooted in an often humorous, dark perspective, his work puts character first and his latest film, Relaxer, is perhaps the most ideal example of his inventive eye. Arriving in theaters in the director’s hometown of Grand Rapids today (and expanding to NYC and beyond starting next week), the film follows a couch-bound challenge taken to the extreme as Y2K approaches. We’re pleased to present an exclusive clip from the film, which features Joshua Burge getting a visit from Andre Hyland (who also steals the show in the Sundance hit The Death of Dick Long) as they discuss Jerry Maguire and present a challenge within a challenge.

Sitting on a couch playing video games can be a ton of fun. The experience, whether alone or with friends, has been a staple of adolescent and adult entertainment for over a generation now. Some look at it like the lark that it can be. Others, they see it as a detriment to society and part of humanity’s downfall. To some degree, that’s explored in Relaxer, an independent comedy hitting theaters this week. However, what’s more fully on display is a bizarre exercise in discomfort. It’s going to prove divisive for those who see it. This humble critic did not care for it one bit. In fact, it was an actively unpleasant experience. The movie is supposedly a comedy, set in the year 1999. With the impending potential Y2K apocalypse fast approaching, Abbie (Joshua Burge) is stuck on a couch, undergoing abuse from his older brother...

“All I’ve ever dreamed about is living on a couch, playing video games with no one bugging me. Relaxer is the nightmare version of my fantasy,” so says Joel Potrykus when it comes to his latest unsettling, yet riveting film. A fitting companion with his brilliant Buzzard, the Y2K-set feature stars Joshua Burge as he undertakes a challenge with grave consequences. Oscilloscope Pictures has now released the first trailer, which grabs a quote from our SXSW review.
John Fink said in our review, “While many indie filmmakers like Andrew Bujalski started making films in apartments with their friends and scaled up to larger projects, Michigan-based madman Joel Potrykus has gleefully and unapologetically scaled down as his career has progressed. His fourth outing, Relaxer, barely even takes place in an apartment, but rather in the corner of a living room where Abbie (Joshua Burge) is stuck on a couch for nearly six months.

If by now you don’t half expect ’90s R&B samples to find their way into any future house track you listen to, then you haven’t been paying attention. R3hab and Quintino might be a little late to the future house game, but they’re picking it up fast – and their new collaboration, “Freak,” draws from classic inspirations.
To be specific, the track features a sped-up acapella from Adina Howard’s sultry 1995 R&B classic “Freak Like Me.” The warm synths driving the arrangement hint at the pan flute and steel drum sounds of tropical house, with a soaring synth lead giving it an added measure of mass appeal.
As far as Howard herself, she still puts out music as well. As recently as last fall she released a new single titled “Bad 4 Me” that’s not as provocative as “Freak Like Me,” but proves that she can definitely still sing.

Adina Howard, who will be 41 years old this year (time flies!), rose to fame during the mid-1990s with her debut album, "Do You Wanna Ride?" which contained the smash single, "Freak Like Me," that, as I recall (although it's been a long while - I was in college back then), was quite the *hot* track that just seemed to suddenly materialize out of thin air, with its sexually provocative lyrics (which one could argue were still taboo at the time, when it came to women musicians, especially in R&B and Hip-hop), and a generally aggressive frankness about it that I think caught a few folks by surprise. It was considered groundbreaking in that regard, and helped...

The first high-profile casualty of the 10th season of "American Idol" came down on Thursday night (March 10), as Ashton Jones hit the exit after collecting the least amount of votes from the public (who notched 30 million votes this week). Karen Rodriguez and Haley Reinhart both joined Jones in the bottom three, but in the end it was Jones who had to walk away. Since the show has decided to bring back the judges' save (which allows Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler to rescue a singer if they think America voted incorrectly), Jones was given one last shot to save herself in the "sing for your life" segment. However, she could not make a convincing case for salvation.
MTV News "American Idol" expert Jim Cantiello welcomed "Jersey Shore" cast member Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola, Popdust's Maura Johnston and "Idol" castoff Rachel Zevita for a conversation about Jones' elimination, the return...
