Jamie Foxx cast as MLK, dismisses Katie Holmes romance rumors

Director Oliver Stone has confirmed that he is moving forward with the authorized version of Martin Luther King Jr.’s life story with Jamie Foxx set to portray the civil rights leader. In other fair and balanced Foxx news (see what I did there), find out what Foxx had to say about the recent rumors that he is romantically involved with Katie Holmes.

Oliver Stone bashes “sad” Dream School, reality show he’s featured in

The Sundance Channel is set to premiere the 6-part reality series Dream School tonight. The premise seems very interesting as they take 15 high school dropouts and look to inspire them with a combination of great educators and some serious A-list celebrity teachers including Rev. Jesse Jackson, 50 Cent, Suze Orman and Oliver Stone. I was particularly amped about the inclusion of Stone but if you read his tweets from today, the Academy Award-winning director of Natural Born Killers might convince you not to watch what he calls a “sad/disappointing TV experience.” Read his unfavorable reviews of the show he’s on and see the trailer for yourself.
