MTV and Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx have teamed up to create another foolish urban reality TV show. From G’s to Gents casts Jamie as a sort of Andre Leon Talley of comedy who fine tunes roughnecks into smooth gentlemen. Presumably Jamie will teach young thugs how to act civilized and not show their asses - literally.
- Are you a hustler?
- Do you have the passion and skills, but can’t catch a break?
- Is your self-worth measured by the number of fights you’ve won,
girls you’ve slept with, or weight of bling around your neck?”From G’s to Gents” will take 15 young “G’s” and polish them up. Taking lessons in everything from Style and Grace, Etiquette, Chivalry, and Business Skills, the men will LEARN that with the right tools every G has the ability to be a true Gentleman – and a real shot at finding success.The Stakes: The G that makes it to the end of the competition will win a large cash prize and the opportunity to make their dream job and lifestyle a reality.

Mr no drawers teaching someone class? Somebody revoke his oscar!
charm school for guys. it’ll be a hit.
Maybe just maybe if this show is actually done with class it won’t destroy Jamie’s acting career. If it is just another coonfest then it will be a back look for him. The fact is many of our young men from the hood actually do need mentors to teach them proper etiquette and social skills. If he really changes someone’s life for the better then I can get behind this and not look down on him for it.
Sad to say, but i’ll actually watch it and probably enjoy it!!
I meant to say:
If it is just another coonfest then it will be a bad look for him.
It ain’t go be no REAL hustlers and ballers on there. A bunch of I Love NY type dudes. When will people realize that “real” people don’t want to be on TV. But hey, whatever is good for TV.
Speaking of Jamie, he been looked mighty cracked or HIV’d out lately. Wonder what his problem is.

Gawd, he has become such a joke!!
Jamie USED to be a really funny dude… The series will probably be a hit just because he’s in it. But he needs to do SOMETHING about how he’s been lookin lately…
IS IT ME OR IS IT SINCE JAMIE GOT THAT OSCAR HE HAS BEEN DOING SOME OUTLANDISH STUFF!
I could see this being a more valid and believeable show if they took someone who was a well known “roughneck” and transformed into a well known gentleman of distinction. Jamie Foxx…not so much. Unfortunately since I am a reality show junkie I probably will watch it.
I am personaly sick & tired of “reality” TV. I wish it were outlawed….And I’m even more tired of a select few of my associates who under normal circumstances are highly intelligent individuals…getiing emotionaly wrapped up in this garbage and thinking it’s really real….People it’s just another form of entertainment….Reality = Unscripted That’s all it means…..Luv Ya…Thanks…
He has been looking a hot mess lately.He could have ben the next Will Smith if he would have played his cards right.If he don’t watch himself he will be doing straight to video like Cuba Gooding jr.
LOL…HeyNow….U R absolutely right….I think he may be having a celebrity breakdown…Too much came at him all at once I think……
Jaime’s an A cup heading toward a B.
How come you want black people to support Ryam Cameron show but not Jamie’s show? what is the difference… You are funny! you pick and choose who you want to support, but if you are a over all black supporter you would support every black person out here no matter what they were trying to do. right?
I do support Jamie…I just said I’m tired of reality TV. Personaly I think the concept is beneath him. He’s far too talented to be doing this type of entertaining. I support Ryan because he is a very positive figure in the city I live in and he has influenced my life positively. I feel his talk show is another step in the right direction for him. Doing what the always does which is bringing a positive form of entertainment to the community…Thanks.
Is it just me, or have his nipples always been a little weird? And his hairline….. I’m just sayin
What the Hell and What the Hell!!!!!!!
Wait a minute wait just one MINUTE! You mean to tell me he needs brothas to audition to be taken from hood to classy and be on a reality tv show? NAW man he needs to hook up with somma these dumb rappers that keep getting locked up and blowing all they money and teach them some charm(ie, lil Wayne, TI, Trey Songz, Baby, Gunit, foxy brown, Remy Ma, Lil Kim and the list goes on…..).
And who he gon teach some class running around a pool party butt naked look like Rhonda? LMBO!!! That’ll be the day……
Boy oh boy the things negros do for money. SMH
Ya know, I don’t mind the hairline, I don’t mind the constant partying,or the drinking champagne out of random women’s shoes. Don’t even mind the reality show - I’ll probably tune in to see if actually has some REAL “G’s” on, but Jamie really needs to put on some drawers.
If only the body matched the face.
Jaimie looks terrible lately. He needs to get it together. He looks like he’s been through it! All that drinking and ramdom womanizing can really tear a brother down who is getting up there in years! Pace yourself Jamie!
He’s still got talent though.

Hey Sandra - I just said “shoes” why’d it get asterisked out?
Oh, I see - apparently it’s some sort of filter!
I was referring to the pic of him on drinking champagne out of someone’s footwear.Hope that’s safe enough.
