Foxy Brown: BlackBerry Beatdown

Early last week Foxy Brown turned herself in to face charges of felony assault, menacing, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon. The charges stem from a July 30th incident in which the 27 year old rapper is accused of using her BlackBerry to assault a neighbor during an argument. The 25 year old victim filed a complaint with authorities after reportedly receiving treatment for loose teeth, a swollen lip and swelling of her right eye.

Just think if Hollywood ever decided to remake the Pam Grier blaxploitation flick "Foxy Brown", Foxy Brown herself would be perfect in the lead role. If you ever saw the 1974 film, you may remember that part of the opening credits sequence features the live action Pam and her silhouetted image doing karate moves. The opening credits of the remake could have Foxy attacking unsuspecting foes with her BlackBerry! Hey, Hey, Hey Foxy. Aw Miss Foxy Brown...

That's how you know you have too much money when you would use your expensive Blackberry to knock someone's teeth loose.

I guess cell phones are becoming the weapon of choice lately with the celebs, huh?

My suggestion? Since Foxy Brown and Naomi Campbell like to fight so much, why not allow them to go toe to toe with the likes of Laylah Ali? Maybe that way they could get whatever's ailing them all out of their systems.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure a round or two with Ms. Ali would go a long way in helping to "knock the fool" right out of those two (LOL).

Actually she choose the name "Foxy Brown" from the film and she sort patterns herself after the character Pam Grier. I caught the reference to the theme song sung by Willie Hutch at the end of your post...Funny!

Jessica: I just thought of something else that will never happen (unless MAD TV or SNL does a skit). A cell phone company could hire Foxy Brown and Naomi Campbell as co-spokeswomen.

Lori: I think you are right. A few rounds with Laila would cause both Foxy and Naomi to get their minds right. Hell, it might only take one round.

Pjazzy: I forgot to mention in the post that Foxy the rapper took her name from Pam Grier's character. It's been awhile since I've seen it, so I don't recall Pam Grier using a rotary phone as a beatdown device in the movie. I put that Willie Hutch reference in there for you... I knew you would catch it.
