Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx was immortalized on Hollywood’s “Walk of Fame” on Friday, becoming the 2,347th celebrity to have a star bearing his name laid on the sidewalk.

Foxx, winner of the best actor Academy Award in 2005 for his portrayal of soul singer Ray Charles in “Ray,” paid tribute to his grandmother during a ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard.

“My grandmother’s gotta be spreading her wings and flying around in heaven, just so happy,” the 39-year-old entertainer quipped to reporters.

Foxx, who also starred in hit musical “Dreamgirls,” is to appear in action-thriller “The Kingdom” later this month.

Meanwhile Foxx had words of support for troubled singer Britney Spears, whose comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last weekend has been savaged by critics this week.

“I think Britneys gonna be fine,” Foxx said. “I think that she was courageous to get up there and do her thing. I wish her well for that.” (SOURCE)

If you have just landed from Mars, then you may not know that O.J. Simpson was arrested (again!!) in Vegas on numerous felony charges in an alleged robbery of collectors.

Prosecutors were planning to charge Simpson with two counts of robbery with use of a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, burglary with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and coercion, said Clark County District Attorney David Roger.
A conviction on the most serious charge, robbery with use of a deadly weapon, could bring a sentence of three to 35 years for each count, he said. A judge ordered Simpson held without bail, police said.

O.J. is about to catch hell now. Since they couldn’t catch him the first time, they got him now. He says he was only retrieving items that were stolen from him and that there was no aggression or violence involved.

Ok, I admit I did not watch the Emmys last night. I was too busy celebrating my daughter turning 2 (yes, it is a big deal–was in labor for TWO DAYS). Anyway, I have posted a couple of websites that devoted as much space to covering the Emmys as possible:

• Young, Black, and Fabulous
• Love B. Scott

Well, these are only two I am going to publicize about. If you happen to find more, send the links to celeb.blitz@gmail.com.

Update(9/18/07): Here is a link to B. Scott’s journal on Buzznet.com: http://lovebscott.buzznet.com/user/journal/
