Jamie Foxx spent a little over a week in the hospital for "a medical complication" while filming Back In Action. Corrine, his daughter, called it that. Details of what happened are still a mystery. Rumors started to spread as the weeks went by that Jamie Foxx still had problems. His daughter Corrine has put those rumors to bed on Instagram.

Corrine Foxx: "Update: sad to see the media go wild. My father has been recovering in the hospital since weeks. He was even playing pickleball just yesterday! Thank you for your prayers and support. Next week, we will also be announcing some exciting news.

Nick Cannon will fill in for Jamie in Beat Shazam: Fox, the network and not the individual, announced last week that Nick Cannon was filling in until the Foxx family returns. "Beat Shazam is a mainstay of the Fox schedule, and has been for six years. Nick Cannon, who doesn't want fans to miss out on the fun of the game show, has agreed to be the guest host this season for Jamie and Corinne. Kelly Osbourne is filling in for the guest DJ. "Everyone at Fox Entertainment wishes Jamie the best as he continues to recover and we are grateful for Nick's willingness this summer to help," Fox stated in a press release.

Foxx's upcoming release was pushed back. The animated Strays starring Will Ferrell and Foxx, which features their voices, was recently rescheduled from June 9th to August 18th, filling in the date left vacant by Universal's R rated comedy Please Don't Destroy. Strays was pushed back partly because of the WGA Strike. Foxx, who is known for his late-night TV talk show promotions, is the perfect choice to promote a bawdy original comedy.

Jamie's recovery and release from the hospital is welcome news. If you read between the lines, it sounds as if whatever happened was very serious. It was only by listening to people talk about his recovery that I found out what happened. Nick Cannon said to ET that he is "awake", and an anonymous source told TMZ he "communicating" now. This indicates that he was unresponsive at one point. It must have been frightening for his family. I'm happy he survived. It's strange that the press got it wrong. It was reported that his family had been preparing for the worst when in fact he is playing pickleball. Pickleball is a trending sport right now. (Off topic but is pickleball trending right now?

Jamie's hospitalization followed some alleged drama on the set. The Sun reported that in March, he suffered a "major breakdown" and had fired two directors, an executive producer and his driver. The Sun is the source of this story, so I take it with a pinch of salt. Taylor Swift might give them information about her boyfriends but I'm not sure how much trust to place in them. Jamie's uncooperative behavior on set is not his usual style. It sounds like it was out of character. It's possible that he fired those people for legitimate reasons, but firing the driver seemed a bit random. It's possible Jamie is under a lot stress, and that's the reason he allegedly went off on those people. I checked on his IMDB, and he's got four projects slated to be released this year plus five TV and movie project in various stages. If I had that many projects to manage, I'd be just as stressed. Nick Cannon filling in on Jamie's TV show is a great idea. Jamie can rest and recuperate. What is the "exciting announcement of work"?
