Jamie Foxx apologizes to Miley Cyrus

The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Jamie Foxx has apologized to teen star Miley Cyrus for a radio routine in which he urged the 16-year-old to "make a sex tape and grow up."

When the incident was brought up on the "Tonight" show Tuesday, Foxx apologized and said: "I didn't mean it maliciously."

Foxx had started talking about Cyrus on his Sirius satellite radio show after someone brought up the singer's recent feud with Radiohead. Foxx said: "Who is Miley Cyrus? The one with all the gums? She needs to get a gum transplant!"

Foxx noted to Jay Leno that he was doing a routine, saying: "Sometimes as comedians, you know, we go a little too far."

  • Miley's fans are smarter than her dad andI doubt they listen to the Foxxhole. He actually directed more folks to find to what Fox said than if he'd remained silent. Good move, Dad. Moving the boyfriend out would have been the smarter public move.
