Robin Roberts interviewed Jamie Foxx this morning on good Morning America. Foxx is now on the media circuit promotong his latest movie “The Soloist”.
Unfortunately, Roberts attempted to bring up old news. As you may know, on his radio show a few weeks ago, Foxx made some unflattering as well as disgusting remarks about Miley Cyrus.
Foxx who has a daughter Miley’s age went on Jay Leno and apologized for his unfortunate remarks. Foxx has also reached out to Miley and apologized to her personally. Mr. Foxx did not travel the road of Don Imus. He manned up and admitted his blunder.
So to Robin Roberts, Bonnie Hunt, who failed to acknowledge the apology by Foxx when she asked Pappa Billy Ray about the situation on her headed for cancellationville talk show, and anyone else who wishes to re-chew the cabbage, let’s move on.
The Soloist is now playing in theaters and you will not be disappointed in the performances of both Jamie Foxx and Robert Dowdy Jr. I give this movie a big thumbs up with five snaps.

The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority's event at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center has set the Guiness World Record as the largest sit-down dinner.
When 16,206 sorority sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha sat down for a banquet last summer at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, the last thing on their minds was setting a record in the Guiness Book of World Records. But yesterday Guiness officials presented AKA national president Barbara McKinzie with a big plaque–the organization had shattered the previous record for largest sit-down dinner: 11,480 people at a banquet in the United Kingdom in 2001.
“This was an amazing acheivement,” said Danny Girton, Adjudicator for Guiness World Records.
“We did it at home, our birth place,” said McKinzie, noting the sorority was founded in Washington. She flew to the District from Chicago to be part of a ceremony that included Mayor Adrian Fenty (D). Convention center officials prepared dishes and pastries in honor of the occaision in the sorority’s signature pink and green colors.
“It was great to take the record from my fellow English,” said Des Hague, president and CEO of Centerplate/National Business Services Enterprises, caterer for the convention center. “We had 2,000 employees, serving three tons of beef, a ton and half of mash potatoes and 40,000 pounds of bagged ice.”
Said Fenty: “It does show great vitality in the city that we could break the Guiness world record at a place where we are having people spend money at a time of a national economic slow down.”

Mrs. Obama answers questions from children attending the national Take Your Child to Work Day program
WASHINGTON (April 23) – First lady Michelle Obama pulled back the curtains a little bit on life in the White House, revealing that she and her staff like to sneak out to eat at fun places.
Three months into her new role, she said Thursday she has the best job in the White House, doesn’t miss cooking and that new dog Bo is “kind of crazy.”
“Every now and then I have this thing that I like to do with some of my staff members, and we sneak out, without telling anybody, and we go and test out all the fun places to eat in D.C.,” Mrs. Obama told children visiting the White House.
“I went to Five Guys and nobody knew it,” she said, naming a popular chain of hamburger restaurants. “It was good.”
Mrs. Obama didn’t mean that she sneaks out of the White House without the Secret Service agents who protect her, but that she sometimes goes out without reporters following her, an aide said.
Mrs. Obama answered questions from children attending a program marking Take Your Child to Work Day.
She said would pick being first lady if she had to choose from any job in the White House.
“I think I have the best job in the White House. I don’t have to deal with the hard problems every day,” Mrs. Obama said. “I have some problems that I have to deal with, but I get to do the fun stuff.”
Because I don’t get paid, I get to do whatever I want to do,” she said. She likes eating food prepared by the kitchen staff. “I don’t miss cooking. I’m just fine with other people cooking,” she said in a tone that made the children laugh. “Their food is really good.”
Her least favorite thing to do at the White House? Running on the treadmill.
“Everything that I do here is really pretty worthwhile, even if it’s hard,” said Mrs. Obama, who gets up early to work out in an upstairs gym. “Maybe it’s running on the treadmill … sometimes I don’t like to do that.”
The students asked about Bo, the 6-month-old Portuguese water dog that joined the president’s family last week; he was a gift for daughters Malia and Sasha. The first lady said she is spending a lot of time walking and training him.
A member of an energetic breed, Bo plays late into the night, as he did on Wednesday.
“It was, like, 10 o’clock. Everybody was asleep and we hear all this barking and jumping around,” she said. “The president and I came out and we thought somebody was out there. And it was just Bo. He was playing with his ball. And it was like there was another person in the house.”
“He’s kind of crazy, but he’s still a puppy. So he likes to play a lot,” Mrs. Obama said.
She also divulged that “he loves to chew on people’s feet.”
More than 100 children and grandchildren of executive branch employees were invited to see where their parents work. Vice President Joe Biden’s granddaughter, Maisy, 8, was among them.
Mrs. Obama quipped later Thursday about the kids being a tough audience.
“They asked me a ton of questions. They were hard,” she said. “I think that was my first official press conference.”
