Maybe it's because she's from around the way. Or because she's still dealing with the whole hearing loss thing. Or because the last time I saw her perform -- at Jay-Z's "Reasonable Doubt" anniversary concert -- she brought the house down.
Whatever the reason, the jailing of Foxy Brown bothers me more than Paris Hilton's incarceration and the possible sentences of Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan combined.
Maybe it's because I think Foxy's smarter than them, because she's made more of her life than they have. Of course, she's obviously not that much smarter since she got jailed today on a parole violation after getting stopped for talking on her cellphone while driving in New Jersey on a suspended license.
I guess she'll have plenty of time to think about things as she sits in jail until Sept. 5.
In the meantime, let's remember her in all her "Ill Na Na" glory.
