• In "I'm getting money acting and singing, what you doing?" news, J Records recording artist Jamie Foxx kicks off the New Year as the first artist to appear at #1 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums Chart for 2006, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Foxx is also #1 on the Current R&B Albums Chart, with a total of 199,640 units sold in its second week of release.

    The Hollywood Hot Boy's new album, 'Unpredictable' entered the Top 200 Albums Chart last week at #2 and has sold a total of 799,425 units since its December 20th release. Sparked by the non-stop success of his hit single "Unpredictable" featuring Ludacris, The New York Daily News cited "what Foxx is doing isn't acting. It's real." The Los Angeles Times proclaimed that 'Unpredictable' shows that Foxx "is no dilettante."

    On another note, NBC will air Foxx's one-hour primetime TV special, Jamie Foxx: Unpredictable later this month. The show is a musical journey of Jamie's life, tracing his roots back to his hometown of Terrell, Texas, where he was raised in the church and became a classically trained pianist. The special will feature songs from 'Unpredictable' and other original music by Jamie as well as guest appearances by Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder, The Game, Snoop Dogg, Angie Stone and Common.

    To coincide with NBC special, Foxx is also scheduled to appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno this month. Foxx recently earned his first solo Grammy nomination in the Best Male R&B Vocal Performance category for his performance of "Creepin'" from the J Records' release 'So Amazing: An All-Star Tribute to Luther Vandross.'

    Here's some jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on Jamie Foxx topping the Billboard 200 Chart: You can't be successful with other people if you haven't paid the price of success with yourself. I just thought I'd remind y'all.
