Jamie Foxx hosted the IHeartRadio Music Awards Sunday night and has spent much of the next morning taking heat on Twitter for a joke he made at Bruce Jenners expense.
We have some groundbreaking performances here too tonight, Foxx said in his monologue. Bruce Jenner will be here doing some musical performances. Hes doing a his and her duet all by himself.
Look, Im just busting your balls while I still can, he added to a mixture of groans and applause from the audience, which included Kylie Jenner, the Olympian-turned-reality stars teenage daughter.
The tweet that seems to have set off the firestorm over Foxxs joke came from Perez Hilton, who accused NBC of airing transphobic jokes. Jenner has been rumored to be transitioning into a trans woman, but has neither confirmed nor denied that supposition.
Foxx has not yet addressed the backlash publicly on social media and has not responded to requests for comment.

I like men, so I must be a woman! ..not some pervert.
-Perez Hilton-
“OK nurse, throw this away and hand me the drill”. surgeon.
From Wheaties to Fruit Loops...
It seems to me that Bruce just wants to join the Kardashian sisterhood.
Only allowed to make jokes against straight White Republicans and Conservatives.
I thought genital mutilation was only available in 3rd world sh**holes.
Now that’s funny!
"We have some groundbreaking performances here too tonight. Bruce Jenner will be here doing some musical performances. He's doing a his and her duet all by himself. Look, I'm just busting your balls while I still can," he added to a mixture of groans and applause from the audience, which included Kylie Jenner, the Olympian-turned-reality star's teenage daughter.Gosh, how sensitive. Cancha take a joke? I mean, it's not much of a penalty for growing rich by having an unreality show. Celebrities? For what are they being celebrated? For being a multiyear freakshow, exceeding the distastefulness found in old circus acts?
Now the public will put you out of business for NOT being "politically correct" by turning on you over a comment that I say was made to elaborate the absurdity of road that Jenner has CHOSE to go down.
IMO Foxx was being a "Comedian" just commenting on a current evolving situation. That used to be "fair game" territory for any PUBLIC figure... but NOT anymore.
Like I said.. "politically correct" is running the show.
Common sense be damned.
Yup, one of the big inherent problems of the Progressive coalition is that eventually the different elements, acclimated to being catered to, come into dirct conflict with each other.
When that happens it becomes obvious what the pecking order is. Perez Hilton is telling Foxx to get to the back of the bus ...
its really a hideous cnundrum
With all the talk about Jamie’s own sexual orientation I am more than a bit surprised by the criticism.
He may need to “come out” just to deflect the criticism
#BlackJokesMatter.
Foxx may be okay after all. He’s just telling the truth; Jenner IS a freak. Its funny that the MSm calls out one of its own and he’s black though.
Now, that's a GOOD analogy.
As I already stated in another post..
"politically correct" is running the show. Common sense be damned.
that is really funny!
