Jamie Foxx named host of Micheal Jackson tribute concert


   American r&b singer and actor Jamie Foxx has been named to host the Michael Jackson tribute concert planned for October in Wales.
      Foxx's spokesman said Monday that the Oscar-winning star of "Ray" would host "Michael Forever — The Tribute Concert." 
   Christina Aguilera, Smokey Robinson and Cee Lo Green are among the show's announced performers.
    The show is not affiliated with Michael Jackson's estate, but Jackson's mother, Katherine, and other Jackson family members are scheduled to attend.
     Organizers had to rescind an offer to the band Kiss last month after fans and Jackson's estate noted that singer-bassist Gene Simmons had harshly criticized the pop singer over the years.
The concert is  scheduled for Oct. 8 in Cardiff, Wales.
