Chitown native actor Terrence Howard is currently doing interviews for his upcoming film, “Dead Man Down” (co-starring Colin Farrell) but he made headlines in regards to to other films he is starring and has starred in. He made news in regards to his comments on his sex scene with TV mogul Oprah Winfrey in the upcoming film, “The Butler.”

Howard claimed the best part about doing a sex scene with the Big O in their upcoming movie was her "tig ol' bitties."

He plays Oprah's neighbor in the movie. He went to say , "Oprah and I had such chemistry. To be able to make out with Oprah and to have love scenes with her and those tig ol' bitties ... She's such a lovely, voluptuous woman ... That was wonderful."

 "The Butler," slated for release later this year.

He also talked about his role in the hit film, “Iron Man” and how it wrecked his movie career.

 Howard, who portrayed Col. James Rhodes in the original 2008 movie -- and at the time was the highest-paid member of the cast -- now says doing the movie ruined his career.

Htold Hollywood.com, "(The) worst thing I witnessed was 'Iron Man' killing my career." He then chuckled deeply and a little self-consciously, then added, "Or trying to. They tried to."

Altough as nominated for an Oscar for 2006's "Hustle & Flow," his roles after the film have been lackluster and his stint on the ill fated TV show, “Law and Order: LA,”was taking on more TV roles, as in the short-lived "Law & Order: LA." 

St Louis native rapper Tiffay Foxx debuted her video to her single, "Twisted" with rapper 

with Lil Kim. Cameos in the video include  and Mylie Cyrus (PICTURED)

Elle Varner, Aloha Mi'Sho, Bradd H Young & Vega HeartBreak
