[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jamie Foxx back in the news - something about how Cameron Diaz was shocked and saddened about his illness. We still don’t know what the deal is. I bet it was a stroke.[/quote]

The Washington Post yesterday ran an article interviewing costars, director, etc. from a new film that just premiered (They Cloned Tyrone) that Foxx is in. The article wasn't even about the film itself-- it was about Foxx, and how fondly fellow performers think of him, what a great professional he is, and so on (and it all sounded deserved--he has a genuinely good rep with his peers). But the article weirdly had only a tiny, passing mention of "health" issues and absolutely zero [i]acknowledgement[/i] that there was anything major that had happened, that he had been hospitalized at all or was still in care, or that anything that has taken him out of the public eye entirely. It was just stunningly devoid of even mere acknowledgement of a serious health event and the total silence around it. Very, very strange for a major, reputable newspaper to avoid noting something as big as all that.

Some of the comments definitely noticed this and called it out. I get the family being possibly afraid even to utter the word "stroke" (IF that's what happened), out of fear he'll be labeled unemployable, but for the Post to run a lengthy article about him without fully explaining why (to use the headline!!) "Hollywood has a Jaime Foxx-shaped hole at its heart" -- that's strange.
