Jamie Foxx has publicly apologized to Miley Cyrus on The Tonight Show for saying some very inappropriate things about the wildly popular 16-year-old singer/actress. Foxx had stated on his radio show that Miley needs to “get a gum transplant … make a sex tape … do some heroin.”

In a poor attempt at explaining himself Foxx says:

“I have a radio show… We’re really the black Howard Stern. We go at everybody. There was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just want to say, I apologize for what I said. I didn’t mean it maliciously. You know I’m a comedian. You know my heart.”

“I so apologize … and this is sincere,” he said, after taking a few deep breaths. “I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don’t mean any of it.” The audience laughed, but Foxx continued, “And sometimes, as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far.”

Looking into the camera, he continues:

“Miley, I apologize, so I’ll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand.”

He completely understands? No, if he completely understood he would have never made the statements that he made. You do not say the things that he said to a person of Miley’s age unless you are just a complete douche bag – there simply is no excuse for his actions.

There is nothing she can do about her gums that was just a mean comment. As far as her making a sex tape, Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson and Kim Kardashian made one and to this day aside from being eye candy they are completely useless with no evident talent. With that said I’d be really interested as to how he thinks that Miley making a sex tape or doing heroin is going to help her career. Unlike many, many of the celebrities walking around Miley doesn’t need to help her career, it’s going about as good as it can go without making a sex tape or doing heroin.

In fact, how many 16-year-olds can we name that are on the top of the music charts, have a #1 show on Disney, a best selling book out in addition to a movie all at the same time? Not many! We need to be giving nothing but much earned respect to Miley she works harder than most full-grown adults I know and at the end of the day unlike Pam, Kim or Paris, you take away the VISA card and people are still going to want to hang out with Miley.

Just my opinion.
