Philadelphia police arrested 49-year-old Willie Brown last week and charged him with stalking after he attempted to con and mussel his way into the hotel of actor Jamie Foxx.
Police say on March 22nd Brown tried to push his way into Foxx’s room at the AKA Hotel after saying he was Beyonce Knowles’ producer. Brown was ultimately overpowered by Foxx but managed to flee before more help could arrive. But he was later apprehended when Foxx’s security guards spotted him near the hotel.
In addition to being booked on stalking Brown was also hit with false imprisonment, harassment, criminal threats and burglary charges.
Seemingly in good spirits, Foxx spoke to Access Hollywood saying, “I can’t talk about it, because we’re still dealing with it on the legal side. But I’m good now. Shout out to Philadelphia and the mayor and everybody else to make sure it’s good.”
Wendy Williams has gotten the green light from Fox Television to go national with her talk show.
The self-proclaimed “Queen of All Radio” debuted The Wendy Williams Show back on July 15 for a six-week, four-market trial run in New York, Los Angeles, Detroit and Dallas. Fox executives made the decision to take the one-hour talk and gossip show nationwide after gauging the reaction of TV viewers. According to Variety the average ratings shot up 80% among women 25-54 and 200% among women 18-34.
The show ends it’s trail run this Friday but will return in 2009. Ms. Williams, in the meantime, doesn’t plan to quit her day job hosting the popular, nationally syndicated radio show, The Wendy Williams Experience.
