From Oscars To Trash
 

jamie.jpgJamie Foxx is demonstrating the Oscar curse quite nicely with his new television show. The Academy Award winner is teaming up with MTV to host a Charm School-esque reality show called From G's to Gents, on which Foxx will help turn 15 "G's" into gentleman. I guess the title is self-explanatory. What is not self-explanatory is why the hell Jamie Foxx is doing this. Anyway, if the description below sounds like you, then you should send in a tape!

- Are you a hustler?
- Do you have the passion and skills, but can’t catch a break?
- Is your self-worth measured by the number of fights you’ve won, girls you’ve slept with, or weight of bling around your neck? ”From G’s to Gents” will take 15 young “G’s” and polish them up. Taking lessons in everything from Style and Grace, Etiquette, Chivalry, and Business Skills, the men will LEARN that with the right tools every G has the ability to be a true Gentleman – and a real shot at finding success.

The Stakes: The G that makes it to the end of the competition will win a large cash prize and the opportunity to make their dream job and lifestyle a reality.

Maybe he isn't getting good scripts? He's not a B.O. draw, is he?
