Jamie 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.

I don't know-I've never really put him up there with having any kind of 'class' or anything….
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I am not shocked, but I am saddened.
bizarre. hmm… maybe he's having financial troubles. i can't imagine any other reason for him to be involved with something like this.
I agree with rantmagazine.
Not surprised.
A true gentleman….

Maybe he isn't getting good scripts? He's not a B.O. draw, is he?
This is a prime example of "when keeping it real goes wrong"!!! Why Jamie Why?
I actually like this and think it's a good idea!
I just thought that I’d stop by to let the world know that I will be one of the contestants on this show,…so good luck to everyone else who’s fighting for the other 14 spots:)…lol…its yo boy p-double hold’n it down for Detroit city baby!…Holla!…
What's wrong with Jamie doing his thing. Don't hate on the kid getting his MTV swagger on…
