FOXX DOES LOVE WHITE PEOPLE, HONEST

The internet - you can't believe a bloody thing on it, can you? There were rumours circulating that NBC had tried to offload Jamie Foxx's Unpredictable music special after discovering that Foxx had operated a kind of reverse colour bar, refusing to work with any white artists.

None of this, it transpires, is true: Foxx insists that he'd have been delighted to have Elton John on his show (a two-box ticker) and Justin Timberlake, who is almost painfully white, but neither could adjust their schedules around to turn up.
