Jamie Foxx Apologizes for Miley Cyrus Tirade

Instead of simply promoting his upcoming film 'The Soloist,' Jamie Foxx used his appearance on 'The Tonight Show' to apologize to Miley Cyrus for going "a little bit too far" with some comments made about the 16-year-old star on his Sirius satellite radio show.

"I so apologize to [Miley], and this is sincere," he told host Jay Leno after the controversy was brought up. "I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don't mean any of it. And sometimes, as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far."

Prompted by a caller's comment on Cyrus' semi-beef with Radiohead, Foxx asked, "Who is Miley Cyrus?" Then the comedian-turned-actor-turned-singer launched into his tirade when a member of his on-air crew explained that Cyrus was the beloved star of the popular Disney show 'Hannah Montana. "The one with all the gums? She's got to get a gum transplant the way she smiles," Foxx said.

He went on to rip Cyrus and suggest that she "make a sex tape and grow up. Get like Britney Spears and do some heroin. Do like Lindsay Lohan ... and get some crack in your pipe ... Catch Chlamydia on a bicycle seat. That's what I want." Foxx's co-hosts added their two-cents in the verbal attack and called Cyrus, "a little white b----."

Foxx admitted he may have gone too far, but defended his rant by claiming it was all in jest. "I have a radio show. We're really the black Howard Stern. We go at everybody. There was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just want to say, I apologize for what I said. I didn't mean it maliciously. You know I'm a comedian. You know my heart."

Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, you certainly should have apologized better, that was kind of a non-apology, now come on, you can do better, I know you can. I wasn't a Miley Fan, but you helped change that. I love her new song, if u chat about teeth again, then at least be "fair" what about bo's new mom? Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, I want to still like you, I hope you make me proud.

I would rather have had him stood by his comments than back off. if that's really how he felt then he should have stuck by this. I didn't know he was a comedian. I hate when they do the politically correct apology. I think she sucks!!!

I do not condone Jamie's actions at all but just for the record he was not the one that called her a little white bitch. It was one of his co-host. I doubt he will be pulled off of Sirius radio. Honestly, we as people tend to overreact to things that are said and done. I have lost respect for Foxx but I will continue to listen to his music and watch his video. He is a very good actor and can actually sing and doesn't need to alter his voice.

where is the news on this one - never heard anything mentioned
how dare you Jamie Foxx being so racist - with all that has gone on in the past with racist comments
do you think you are above all and can say what you like about the white people now.
I would of liked to see this go in the same direction as the Imus situation did.

DIDO situation for all and an eye for eye
