1. Jamie Foxx seen in first public sighting since hospitalization
Academy Award-winning actor Jamie Foxx was seen waving at fans over the weekend in his first public appearance since being hospitalized with a mystery “medical complication,” last April. In a clip, the 55-year-old was seen waving from a mega-boat passing along the Chicago River. As another boat of supporters sailed by, they erupted in cheers while the actor, wearing a collared shirt and dark shades, joyfully waved back.
Details surrounding Foxx’s current health status or what event triggered his hospitalization remains unclear months after his daughter, Corrine Foxx, took to social media where she revealed that her father had “experienced a medical complication” but “Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery” in a since-deleted post. Foxx had since been moved to a rehab facility in Chicago, where he’s been visited by family members amid his ongoing recovery.

Tina Knowles-Lawson also had her Los Angeles home broken into last Wednesday, July 5, making her another victim of burglary. According to reports, no one was home at the time, but someone from the fashion designer’s team stopped by while she was out of town and discovered a safe that had more than $1 million in cash and jewelry inside was missing. Cops are currently investigating the incident as they look for surveillance videos and talk to some of Knowles-Lawson’s neighbors for leads.
