Foxx apologizes to Cyrus

NEW YORK — Jamie Foxx has apologized to teen star Miley Cyrus for a radio routine in which he urged the 16-year-old to “make a sex tape and grow up.”

When the incident was brought up on the “Tonight” show Tuesday, Foxx apologized and said: “I didn’t mean it maliciously.”

Foxx had started talking about Cyrus on his Sirius satellite radio show after someone brought up the singer’s recent feud with Radiohead. Foxx said: “Who is Miley Cyrus? The one with all the gums? She needs to get a gum transplant!”

Foxx noted to Jay Leno that he was doing a routine, saying: “Sometimes as comedians, you know, we go a little too far.”
