Actor Jamie Foxx has been booked to star at next “Obamajam” in Los Angeles for the president on Thursday at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, which has issued a traffic advisory from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the day of the event. Schools are even set to release students early to avoid the traffic jam that’s expected to engulf the area. And that’s probably a good thing, too — the event in August 2010 resulted in a traffic nightmare that sparked demands from L.A. residents for an investigation.
Access to the event, which will also be attended by singer-songwriter Jason Mraz, actress Rashida Jones and include performances by the Foshay Learning Center Choir, will cost donors $100 (for attendees under 40 years of age), $250 for general admission and $2,500 for VIP seating. Afterwards, Obama will join a much smaller gathering for a private dinner in Brentwood.
