Is Jamie Foxx hurting for money?
The Oscar winner joined super-hot country act Rascal Flatts onstage at Wednesday's Country Music Awards to belt out their tune "She Goes All the Way," and the country group cracks that they were merely trying to help a fellow musician out.
"His career has been in the toilet for a long time and we are trying to help him," bassist Jay DeMarcus jokes to OK!.
