It's probably safe to say there are no Kids' Choice Awards in Jamie Foxx's immediate future.

After taking a call on his Sirius Satellite Radio Show The Foxxhole Sunday, the Oscar winner and his zoo crew lashed out at tween dream and reigning box-office champ Miley Cyrus, referring to the 16-year-old as a "little white bitch," and advising her to alternately "do some heroin" and "make a sex tape and grow up."

The 41-year-old's foul outburst was prompted by a caller to the show, who brought up a month-old story in which Cyrus pledged to "ruin" Radiohead after the rockers rejected a request to meet with the Disney star backstage at the Grammys.

"Who is Miley Cyrus?" an incredulous Foxx, who has a teenage daughter of his own, said. "The one with all the gums? She gotta get a gum transplant…S--t."

The insults didn't stop there. Or get less personal.

Sounds like Jamie Foxx really got lucky.

A Pennsylvania judge ruled today that the intruder Foxx managed to boot out of his hotel room last week is incompetent to stand trial and must undergo psychiatric evaluation.

Municipal Court Judge David C. Shuter also ordered that the assailant, identified as 49-year-old Steven Taliver, be transferred from a Philadelphia lockup to Norristown State Hospital for 60 days for treatment after a court psychiatrist declared in a sworn statement that Taliver was "actively psychotic," according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Oscar winner was in the City of Brotherly Love filming Law Abiding Citizen, when Taliver, posing as one of Beyoncé's producers, tried to barge into the actor's room at the AKA Hotel.

Assistant District Attorney Kelley Hodge says that Taliver "made some type of threatening movement or gesture" as he attmpted to gain access to Foxx's luxury suite. A struggle ensued but Foxx managed to slam shut the door and keep Taliver at bay.

For Jamie Foxx, it was Law Abiding Citizen by day and security guard by night.

The Oscar winner got the better of an intruder in his Philadelphia hotel suite last month after the man tricked him into opening the door by posing as one of Beyoncé's producers.

After realizing he didn't know the man, Foxx managed to keep him from fully entering the room and slammed the door.

The suspect fled the scene, but the law ultimately caught up with him.

Steven Taliver, 49, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of stalking and other charges after Foxx's security team noticed the very same man who allegedly tried to bust into the actor's room hanging around near the set of Foxx's next movie, Law Abiding Citizen, and called the cops.

Jennifer Hudson's ascension to stardom has been honored pretty much every step of the way.

The Oscar winner was somewhat anachronistically named Outstanding New Artist Thursday at the 40th NAACP Image Awards, which honors achievements by people of color in film, television, music and literature—and which happened to this year be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the election of the United States' first black president.

Let's just say, it was quite the proud kudosfest.

"Now don't start me to crying again, y'all," a visibly touched Hudson, who won her first Image Award for acting two years ago, told the standing ovation-prone audience. "Oh my God, it always feels like home coming here. Thank you all so much for all of your amazing support."

Hudson, who came into the evening with a leading seven nominations, walked away with a leading three individual trophies, including Outstanding Album for her self-titled debut and Duo, Group or Collaboration for her duet with Fantasia on "I'm His Only Woman."

In a blow to many a boy's imagination, Taylor Swift made Santa's nice list.

The country starlet, who first topped the charts over Thanksgiving, now rules the Christmas roost, holding off naughty-lister Britney Spears and would-be new holiday treats from Keyshia Cole, Jamie Foxx and Fall Out Boy.

Swift's Fearless held at No. 1 on sales of 330,000, per Nielsen SoundScan. Grammy-nominated R&B star Cole was just 8,000 behind with A Different Me, while Foxx's Intuition at No. 3 (265,000), ahead of Spears' Circus (196,000).

New daddy Pete Wentz and his fellow Fall Out Boys scored the third and final Top 10 bow as Folie à Deux checked in at No. 8 with 150,000. The band topped the charts last year with Infinity on High.
