Actor and entertainer Jamie Foxx is speaking out on an 6-year-old unreleased comedy flick that is now scrapped. Foxx says it’ll be hard to release his shelved comedy film that stars Robert Downey Jr. as a Mexican man.  

According to CinemaBlend, Foxx said his directorial effort All-Star Weekend would be a tough sell due to the current state of comedy. “Man, it’s been tough, with the lay of the land when it comes to comedy, man. We’re trying to break open those sensitive corners where people go back to laughing again.”

 Actress Anne Heche is fighting for her life after crashing her car into a home in Los Angeles last week. She’s said to be in “extreme critical condition” after slipping into a coma, according to Deadline.  Her reps told multiple outlets that she hasn’t regained consciousness since the accident and is dealing with significant injuries.  

“At this time Anne is in extreme critical condition. She has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention,” the rep said in a statement. “She is in a coma and has not regained consciousness since shortly after the accident.”.

The Six Days, Seven Nights actress, 53, was reportedly driving a blue Mini Cooper down a suburban street in Los Angeles around noon when she crashed into the garage of an apartment complex. According to TMZ, bystanders tried to help Heche exit the vehicle, but she allegedly backed up and drove off before crashing into another home where her car became “engulfed” in flames.

The news comes after she was thought to be in stable condition over the weekend. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. The woman living at the home survived but her home  has significant damage from the fire. Hopefully all parties have a speedy recovery.
