In the December/January issue of Men’s Fitness, Foxx, a former high-school quarterback reveals the secrets and rigors of preparing for some of his most physically challenging roles and why he is willing to make such sacrifices to reach the top of his field. “Awhile back, I did this tribute for Al Pacino,” he says in the issue. “Look back on his body of work and you see the different ways he’s changed. … I want people to look back on [my] body of work and say,’Wow, it’s like he morphed into different characters.”

Dallas Teacher Caught Smoking Crack
A teacher in the Dallas school district was incarcerated at about 2 a.m. today after police say he was smoking cocaine while cruising erratically in Oak Cliff.
Donald Keith Johnson, 47, a teacher at Molina High School, was charged with evading arrest and possession of cocaine, according to police. The school’s address is listed on Mr. Johnson’s driver’s license.
A police officer spotted Mr. Johnson, a Dallas resident, on West Laureland Road and attempted to pull him over because he was unable to maintain his lane, according to a Dallas police report.
According to the report, Mr. Johnson continued smoking cocaine from a crack pipe as officers pursued him.
The pursuit ended at the Houston Street Viaduct, where police had to put Mr. Johnson’s car in park because he refused to do so, according to the report. Officers used a Taser to subdue Mr. Johnson, who resisted arrest by punching and kicking, the report states. He was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital.
Mr. Johnson was booked into Dallas County Jail around 8 a.m. and is being held in lieu of $3,000 bond. (From C+D/Dallasnews.com)

McCain to appear on Mad TV, not Saturday Night Live
In another piece of bad news for John McCain's struggling campaign, it turns out he won't be appearing on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" tomorrow as rumored, but rather Fox's low rated competitor "Mad TV."
"The Senator really wanted to appear on 'SNL,' but they couldn't fit us in because they already booked Masi Oka as the host," said a a McCain campaign spokesman. "The folks at 'Mad TV' were much nicer and said they would give us an entire skit, so long as we brought cameras, lights, and Subway sandwiches for the entire cast and crew."
Political communication experts noted that while McCain will reach a much smaller audience on "Mad TV" than he would have on "SNL," Fox's show might be a better fit for the types of voters he is hoping to turn out on Election Day.
"Most 'Mad TV' viewers tend to be disabled senior citizens unable to change the channel, low income familes who only receive Fox on their nearly broken TV antenna, or people with a unique form of brain damage in which they always choose the grossly inferior of two options," said John Krasnick, professor of politics and psychology at UC-Berkeley. "Those are also the three demographics that suveys show are most supportive of John McCain for president."

Led Zeppelin Members to be Replaced by Jonas Brothers
The rumors are true -- Led Zeppelin is getting back together without Robert Plant! But Dateline Hollywood has learned the planned changes go even further -- guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones are also leaving the band and they're all going to be replaced by the Jonas Brothers.
In an interview with Dateline Hollywood, Jones explained that the decision came after negotiations for a tour in which Zeppelin was going to open for the Jo Bros.
"The research tells us that our fans don't have much money left for concert tickets these days and what they do have they spend to take their kids to see Nick and Joe and Kevin," he explained. "When I said in that radio interview that we were looking for a new singer, I meant it's because Robert wouldn't open for the Jonas Brothers. He says they're, quote, 'annoying little twats.'"
Rather than play such an important series of gigs with only two of three founding members, however, Jones and Page have agreed to let the entire band be replaced by the Jonas Brothers. The tour will now be called "Led Zeppelin starring The Jonas Brothers."
"I really feel that Joe, Kevin and Nick Jonas are the musical successors to myself, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant," Jones said, reading from a prepared statement. "Classic Led Zeppelin fans will swear they are seeing our younger selves reincarnated, while a new generation will learn how hard we rock and how dreamy we are."
"Led Zeppelin starring The Jonas Brothers" will play a classic and new tunes, with the former getting new arrangements that Jones described as "a fresh teen pop beat." Jason Bonham, original drummer Jon Bonham's son, will stay with the group. "It's better than another VH1 reality show," he explained.

Is Charlie Sheen being sarcastic about being ‘thrilled’ over twin babies?
Charlie Sheen is "thrilled" that he will be a dad to twin boys in April. Sheen made the statement to People magazine, but several entertainment news outlets, have been unable to confirm if the actor was being serious or completely sarcastic.
"Oh yeah, I am so thrilled that I'm going to be the plumpher to twin boys. Things could not be better," said Sheen to the magazine.
"It's difficult to tell with the written word if someone is being sarcastic or not," said Prof. Mark Walters, a sarcasm expert at Bellford College. "I can definitely see how it may read as sarcastic. But he may also be truly thrilled."
Sheen also said, "I can't wait to help change diapers. I can't wait. My life has turned out just the way I wanted it to. I really hope no one pinches me because I am living a dream."
As for that statement, Prof. Walters says, "It's also very tricky to determine if that was sarcastic or not. These are tough examples. I mean, I'm glad you contacted me to examine these statements. I have nothing else better to do. And I'm not being sarcastic."
