Tue May 17 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Ahoy, mateys! Kanye West was spotted today taking in the sights of Cannes by yacht. (No, we don't think it was Pharrell's musical Love Boat.) Apparently, he's not just in town to kiss pretty ladies and jam on stage with Jamie Foxx. The recent Coachella performer kept it casual in while at sea in black t-shirt and matching black hoodie. Jump below for a full look at the monster rapper getting his sea legs — or walk the plank!

Kanye West And Jamie Foxx Unearth “Gold Digger” At Cannes
Sun May 15 2011 by Idolator Staff
We're not saying Kanye West and Jamie Foxx are gold-diggers, but they definitely knew what they were doing dusting off their 2005 mega-smash "Gold Digger." The Oscar-winning "Yep, Dat's Me" singer and his Coachella-rocking buddy hit up the 64th Annual Cannes Film Festival's Red Granite party, treating the crowd to their half-decade-old hit. How'd it compare to the Cannes performances by Jessie J and Lady Gaga? Find out below.

Fri Apr 1 2011 by Robbie Daw
Just in case you didn't get the memo from Ryan Seacrest, last night's elimination round of American Idol was to have two contestants voted off. And the episode didn't disappoint—well, unless you were fans of either Naima Adedapo or Thia Megia. One surprise, however, came when the usual group performance was ditched in favor of the Top 11 contestants splitting into duet partners, trios and quartets. Read on!

Yep, Dat’s Jamie Foxx On The ‘Tonight Show’
Thu Jan 6 2011 by Robbie Daw
Jamie Foxx took to the Tonight Show With Jay Leno stage last night to promote recently-released album Best Night Of My Life, and there was nary an Auto-Tuned vocal to be heard. The seemingly unstoppable entertainer-of-all-trades started off crooning his new ballad "Fall For Your Type" (sans Drake) then segued into club jam "Yep Dat's Me" (sans Ludacris and Soulja Boy, who was probably off yapping to anyone who'll listen that he wrote "Whip My Hair"). Watch below.

Taylor Swift Wins The Xmas Chart Race
Wed Dec 29 2010 by Idolator Staff
It was freaking Christmas last week, people. Did you think anyone was going to knock sweet, family-friendly cover girl Taylor Swift out of the top spot on the chart? Not a chance. (Oh Taylor, don't act all surprised.) In what is traditionally one of the biggest weeks of the year for music sales, shoppers picked up another 276,000 copies of Speak Now, delivering Taylor her second straight week at #1. Swift easily held off new albums from Jamie Foxx and Keyshia Cole. But did anyone give Michael Jackson's posthumous Michael for Xmas? Find out after the jump.

Jamie Foxx And Drake Maintain Balance With “Fall For Your Type” Video
Sat Dec 11 2010 by Idolator Staff

Jamie Foxx Is Having The “Best Night Of My Life” On His Album Title Track
Fri Dec 10 2010 by Becky Bain
The lead single to Jamie Foxx's fourth studio album Best Night Of My Life, the Justin Timberlake collab "Winner", was released all the way back in April — knee-deep into Winter, and now Fox's camp is just starting to roll out the rest of his tracks only one fortnight til his LP drops on December 21. Beware, Jamie, the cautionary tale of The Black Eyed Peas, who released their first single a mere moment before The Beginning dropped to poor sales — for them, at least. Whatever happened to drumming up hype over a long period of time? Nicki Minaj and Kanye did it that way, and look how well that worked for them.
Anyway, listen to Jamie's title track below and see if it was worth the wait. More »
Jamie Foxx And Rick Ross Are “Living Better Now”
Fri Oct 15 2010 by Idolator Staff
Jamie Foxx may or may not have some free time (depending on whether Skank Robbers really sees the light of day or Kane And Lynch goes into production). But, occupied with acting or not, he's prepping a new album, Body, and he's dropped a slinky first single. With an assist from Bawse-man Rick Ross (and a nice Notorious B.I.G. sample), "Living Better Now" finds Foxx living large and seducing the ladies in sly style. Hear it below:
