Jamie Foxx stunned journalists and members of the public last week
(ends31Aug07) when he banned them from sharing his elevator, according to
reports.
The Ray star was appearing at L.A.'s Four Season's Hotel to promote his
new movie The Kingdom, and insisted he traveled in the building's lifts
without being hassled by fellow guests.
A source tells the New York Daily News' Page Six, "He told guests
of the hotel and journalists to leave the elevator. Then, at every floor
where the elevator stopped, the bodyguard would stand with his arm
stretched out and say, 'You can't enter' to anyone who tried to get in. A
lot of us were like, 'Who does Jamie think he is?'"
However a spokesperson for the star has denied the incident, insisting,
"There were four to five people in the elevator with Foxx at the time
and rushing to get to interviews to promote his film."
