‘Hidden Figures’ Beats Out ‘Rogue One’ After Final
$$ Count On Monday
Jamie Foxx And Crew Get Into Altercation
After being involved in a fight at an LA restaurant last weekend, Jamie Foxx posted a light-hearted clip showing that he is fine.
At the beginning of the clip, he can be seen holding a cloth to his eye, and when he re- moved the cloth, his eye ap- pears to be crossed ... until he looks right at the camera and grins.
According to witnesses who saw the altercation, Foxx was eating with Tyrin Turner, his barber Conrad Hilton, and other friends when they were approached by another patron who told them they were too loud!
Jamie Foxx takes to social media to let his followers know he is fine.
Things agot heated, and wit- nesses claim the man said, “You don’t want to mess with me. I’m from New York.”
“ I’m from Oakland,” Foxx allegedly replied.
That’s when things report- edly became physical, as wit-
nesses say the man lunged at Foxx. However, from there, the accounts are garbled, with some saying Foxx put the man in a headlock and others says Foxx didn’t touch him, but in- stead had his friends deal with the problem.
Taraji Henson plays Katherine Johnson in the film. ‘Hidden Figures’ knocked Rogue One out of the #1 spot, although it was shown in half the theaters.
Fox’s “Hidden Figures” has topped Disney-Lucasfilm’s “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” by about $700,000 for the No. 1 spot at the North American box office, with $22.8 million at 2,471 sites, final figures showed Monday.
Sunday estimates had indi- cated that “Rogue One” was ahead by less than $200,000. But the comedy-drama “Hid- den Figures” performed well ahead of those estimates on Sunday to deny “Rogue One” a fourth consecutive box office crown.
“Hidden Figures,” which fol-
lows a group of pioneering African-American women in the early days of the American space program, had been fore- cast last week to take in be- tween $16 million and $18 million. Taraji P. Henson stars as Katherine Johnson, a mathematician who, along with her colleagues Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jack- son (Janelle Monae), helps launch astronaut John Glenn into space.

About growing up in Hous- ton, Solange reflects on the experience. “Growing up on Parkwood was so inspiring be- cause we got to see a little bit of everything.

Nas Pays IRS $3.5 Million In Back Taxes
Nasir Jones aka Nas won’t be Wesley Sniped by the tax man anytime soon. After deal- ing with reports that he was se- verely in the red with the IRS for most of this decade, the 43- year-old Hip Hop legend bossed up and shelled out more than $3.5 million for Uncle Sam to remove him from the “you’re-going-to-jail” list.
In March of 2016, it was re- ported that Nas was hit with a $145,000 tax lien, bringing his grand receipt to more than $6 million in unpaid taxes. Ac- cording to documents obtained by Bossip, Nas (quietly) paid the aforementioned $3.5 mil- lion sum in December 2016 to settle most of the score.
