JAMIE'S SUCCESS STRATEGIES:
#1 Ride waves, not rockets
#2 Return to ground level
#3 Then plan the next wave
#4 Lock in your gains
#5 Talk to someone more successful than you
#6 Above all, listen to Paul Anka
Foxx did, and he came away with his central drive, his day-to-day desire. As he tells it, "Paul Anka has a very interesting story. When he was 15 or 16, he was hanging out with the Rat Pack. He couldn't get into the clubs, but he'd hang out in the kitchen and write songs for Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra. He wrote 'My Way.' He also wrote the theme song for Johnny Carson. Johnny said, 'I have someone to write it.' Paul said, 'I'll give you 50 percent of the publishing.' And he got the gig. But Paul Anka said to me, 'Jamie, I live life on my own terms.' And you want to reach that point as quickly as you can. You want to be able to say, 'I will go,' not 'I have to go.' So that's all you work for, man."
HOW DOES JAMIE STAY IN SHAPE?
Jamie Foxx has a simple fitness goal: "I just want to get my tight on. If someone grabs your arm in a club, you want to let 'em know you're sturdy." He calls his current regimen his "grown-up" workout. "I'm 39 now, and my shoulders started hurting from benching really heavy weights [350]," he says. "So I look at the surfers. They have serious cores. How can I slim down and lean out?" He switched from big weights to a morning program of pushups, situps, and crunches--four sets of 25 of each. He breaks up this workout by doing chores between sets: "Do 25 pushups, brush your teeth. Do the next 25 pushups, take a shower. Do another set of whatever it is, then fix your hair. Now the workout's part of your morning routine, just like brushing your teeth. So get up in the morning and challenge yourself. Twenty minutes, you're done." (SOURCE)

Gloria Allred, Barretto’s attorney, said in a press conference today that Brit’s former hired muscle was prepared to testify under oath today, but that neither the court nor Britney’s attorneys chose to cross-examine him. She said his declaration went “unrefuted and unchallenged.
“Barretto started working for Britney when she got out of rehab, and was fired on May 17 because, said Allred, “He did not hear her when he was asked to pick up her hat.” (SOURCE)
