Jamie Foxx joined representatives from LG Electronics Canada at a press conference Tuesday to announce details of the company’s new Life’s Good FilmFest, which is inspired in part by LG’s new series of SL80 HDTVs, being launched in September. "An HD FilmFest is the perfect vehicle to help launch our new series of HDTVs," marketing director Tim Barnes told reporters gathered at Panorama Lounge.

Academy-award winner Foxx, who was set to perform at a concert (hosted by LG) at the Sound Academy Tuesday night, appeared at the event to talk about his experiences breaking into the film and music industries. "I've been lucky and fortunate enough to work with some of the greatest filmmakers in the business," said Foxx, who applauded the concept behind the film festival. "The way you're doing it is absolutely incredible. There is no entry fee and it doesn't matter who you are, you can get your film looked at. I think that's great because there's a lot of people out there that are just waiting in the wings to become that next director, that next actor." MORE >>

BET Awards' Hastily Planned Jackson Tribute Yields Ratings Triumph

FROM LOS ANGELES After Michael Jackson died suddenly on Thursday afternoon, BET worked fast to transform its already-scheduled awards on Sunday at the Shrine Auditorium into a tribute to the pop star. And, in addition to being what some would consider an appropriate format change for a show celebrating black entertainment, the modified broadcast was also a boon for the network: It was the top-watched cable telecast this year and BET's biggest audience ever, according to a press release from the network.

The live broadcast, hosted by Jamie Foxx, drew 10.65 million viewers. About 10 percent of televisions that were on during the broadcast period were tuned to the awards program, uncommonly high for a cable network, according to Nielsen Media Research findings cited in The Los Angeles Times. MORE >>
