WOW! HALLE BERRY AND JAMIE FOXX AWARD KISS

Comedian Jamie Foxx is laughing off the critics talk of his kiss with Halle Berry at a recent awards ceremony and is insisting their lip lock was a prank conjured up by the actress herself. Foxx presented Halle with the Hottest Girl on the Planet award at Spike TV's 2nd Annual Guy's Choice Awards in Los Angeles California last month, and they shocked the audience with a passionate kiss. Foxx explains, "It was a joke. First, I want to let everybody know that I respect Halle Berry and I respect her relationship. But after she won the Oscar, Adrien Brody came up and laid a little tongue on her. So she decided to get me back, which I didn't mind at all." Jamie also admits he was so nervous before pulling Berry's prank, he nearly backed out at the last second. He also adds, "I almost froze but I said, 'Think quick Foxx,' and I got into it ... she really gave it to me and I appreciate that. I'm sure you did...But check out Brad Pitt and Edward Norton @34 seconds...Brad is stunned!

WHOSE GOT NEXT #2

Actor, Dancer, Choreographer and now singer? Columbus Short, the Kansas City, Missouri star has been fielding offers from record labels for his debut music release and is eager to introduce his collection of R&B and pop recordings to the world.

Short has no intentions of abandoning acting for music completely.

Short was definitely the breakout star in Cadillac Records. His portrayal of Little Walter has put him in the category of Young Actors to watch. I can't wait to see this brilliant actor continue to soar in the industry. He is slowly building his stairwell to Oscar Gold.

The actor, who just earned a Young Hollywood Award for 'Young Hollywood Action Stars,' appears next in the upcoming films 'Whiteout,' 'Armored' and 'Death at a Funeral.'
Check out Columbus short rehearsing in LA.
