If you close your eyes and listen to the latest episode of the "Rap Radar" podcast, who do you hear? Is it the voice of 45th President Donald J.Trump or Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx?  If you're confused, you're likely not alone, as Foxx delivered an eerie impersonation of Trump, using catchphrases like "fake news" to bolster his riff. On the podcast to promote his Netflix film, "Day Shift" with Snoop Dogg, Foxx is seen getting into character, gesticulating in a manner that is reminiscent of Trump, and exclaiming, "excuse me," every time someone interrupted him.  Snoop Dogg, who is seated next to Foxx, is seen breaking out in laughter alongside the podcast hosts, Elliott Wilson and Brian ‘B.Dot’ Miller. Jamie Foxx, pictured with John Legend in 2019, has also done an excellent impersonation of the EGOT winner.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Paramount filed a motion on Friday to dismiss a lawsuit that claims that “Top Gun: Maverick” infringes on the copyright of the 1983 magazine article that was the source material for the original film.

In the motion to dismiss, Paramount argued that it did not need to obtain the rights, because “Top Gun: Maverick” is a work of fiction that has almost nothing in common with the non-fiction article and that the facts and ideas conveyed in the article cannot be copyrighted.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer A bill to extend California’s film and TV tax incentive program through 2030 has been placed on hold, as lawmakers continue to work on elements of the bill, including a new diversity mandate. The state’s $330 million tax credit for Hollywood is currently set to expire in 2025. Sen. Anthony Portantino has worked on a bill, SB 485, that would add another five years to the program. Last week, a new provision was added requiring that productions that receive a tax credit adopt hiring goals that are “broadly reflective” of the state’s demographics. Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo, D-Los Angeles, led the effort to include that provision, which also adds an extra 4% subsidy for projects that meet their diversity targets.
