Buyer's remorse?
He's back on the market.
Foxx drama
Jamie Foxx is part of a team developing a show for TNT called
Miss Philly, a drama about the city's first female African American police commissioner, and if the show is green-lighted, the city would be in line to get production work.
Sharon Pinkenson of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office is headed to L.A. next week to talk about this and other potential projects as well as to attend the annual Produced By conference run by the Producers Guild. (The impetus for
Miss Philly has not been disclosed, but last year, Foxx got to meet the Philly PD and the DA's Office after a stalker tried to get into his Center City hotel room.)
Briefly noted
Wilmington's WJBR-FM (99.5) has hired
Dave Cruise to sit beside
Jill Quale on its morning show. Cruise, a WBEN-FM alumnus, had been working part time at sister station WXTU (92.5).
Former Eagles coach Dick Vermeil will talk about fine wines (not defensive lines) at 6:30 Thursday night at Morris Arboretum in Chestnut Hill with CBS Radio exec Marc Rayfield. The wine-tasting/
discussion, a benefit for the arboretum, will include bottles from Vermeil's Napa Valley estate. A few seats ($85) remain; info at 215-247-5777, Ext. 121, or www.morrisarboretum.org.
Anne Mahlum, founder of the Philly-bred nonprofit Back on My Feet, will appear Friday in the 8 a.m. hour on NBC's Today show. Pepsi is donating $50,000 to the cause, which inspires homeless people to take up running to boost self-esteem.
