He may presently be topping headlines for calling a Canadian reporter a ‘piece of sh*t’ on live TV (click here if you missed that), but former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson is also reportedly hard at work with putting the final touches on his forthcoming biopic…starring Jamie Foxx.

According to Tyson, he and Foxx are in discussions to begin production on the film that would see the ‘Unpredictable’ singer portray him at different stages of his life using CGI technology.

“Me and Jamie Foxx are in discussion, and we gonna do it,” said Tyson, 48. “Within a year to 18 months, we’re going to do the Mike Tyson story and he’s going to portray me, and now they have this new animation; because you know Jamie’s pretty much my age so he can’t portray me but they have this new system.”

Not even an all-star line up with the two of the most talked about booties in the industry – that of Jennifer Lopez‘s and Nicki Minaj‘s – were enough to resurrect the ratings of Fashion Rocks.

Taking a 6 year hiatus from television, the showing that aims to marry the hottest music with the hottest trends in fashion – fell flat with reports of less than half the ratings attributed to its 2008 showing.

Could it signal an end for the show?

Even news of Royal Baby #2 proved itself no match for the headline dominator of the week – the woes of Ray Rice.

As readers know, the former Baltimore Ravens’ star has been the talk of the week as footage surfaced of him violently attacking his then-fiancee, Janay, in an Atlantic City elevator.  And, while Mrs. Rice made headlines herself for slamming the media for “embarrassing her” with its extensive coverage of the story, news flooded elsewhere that the running back will no longer see his face gracing NIke or EA Sports (video game) campaigns.

Abruptly removed from the sports giants’ rosters following reports of the attack, all hope may not be lost for Rice.  NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell believes that with good behavior, we may soon see Ray on the football field again.

columbus short-thatgrapejuice-ray rice

The name Ray Rice was virtually inescapable today as headlines flooded the net about the running back’s unceremonious dismissal from the NFL following horrific footage of him attacking his wife in an elevator.

The story was, to some degree, old news, but today’s newly surfaced footage not only brought the story back to life, but also brought with it an indefinite end to Rice’s roll with the Baltimore Ravens team that brought him fame.  Scoring a weigh-in from everyone to celebrities and many-a-social media user, one commenter’s criticism earned him a considerable backlash – Columbus Short.

Fans may recall that Short, former star of ABC’s hit series ‘Scandal,’ was under investigation himself for allegedly choking and allegedly threatening to kill his wife.  A report that would later lead to his dismissal from the Kerry Washington-led series.

Now, is the singer/dancer/actor singing another tune?
