More people should be outraged by Roman Polanski, rather than stand behind him! (I’m talking to you Penelope Cruz and Adrien Brody!)

Detained Academy Award-winning director and convicted sex offender Roman Polanski may have the support of some famous faces in the film industry, but don’t count Jamie Foxx among them. According to the actor, he only needs to imagine the 1977 case against Polanski is a personal one to find his feelings.

“If it had been my daughter who was barely a teenager — my daughter is 15 — Roman Polanski would be missing … period,” Foxx stated in an interview with Parade magazine. “It wouldn’t even get to the court case. But, that’s me and I wouldn’t want anyone else to follow that because you should let the justice system work it out.”

Foxx went on to explain that while his perspective might have been different had he known the director personally, as do many of his Hollywood peers, ultimately he believes “this whole issue is bigger than Roman Polanski.” So big, it forces Foxx to confront his own complex sense of revenge.

“Revenge is a tough thing,” “The Soloist” star said. “When it comes to someone bringing harm to your family, it’s hard to think about turning the other cheek. When I hear about things that we allow to go on in our society where women are harmed, I just knee-jerk. I’ve said some things publicly that my publicist keeps telling me I should keep to myself. I don’t know if that’s my Texas upbringing, but there comes a point where you just say, ‘OK, that would be my tipping point. What would I do?’ Some of things I’ve said I’d do to sexual perpetrators were pretty graphic. But I also read some stories of people taking the law into their own hands, which is bad too. So it’s tough to know how far you’d go.”

Jamie Foxx, who crudely attacked Miley Cyrus on his Sirius radio show over the weekend, has apologized to the 16-year-old.

“I so apologize … and this is sincere,” he said, after taking a few deep breaths, on Tuesday’s Tonight Show With Jay Leno. “I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don’t mean any of it.”

The audience laughed, but Foxx continued, “And sometimes, as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far.”On his Foxxhole show Sunday, Foxx — who has a teenage daughter — cracked that Cyrus, 16, needs “to get a gum transplant … make a sex tape … do some heroin.” His other insults were too vulgar to reprint.

Explained Foxx, “I have a radio show… We’re really the black Howard Stern. We go at everybody. There was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just want to say, I apologize for what I said. I didn’t mean it maliciously. You know I’m a comedian. You know my heart.”

Looking into the camera, he added, “Miley, I apologize, so I’ll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand.”

Miley Cyrus should worry about Jamie Foxx.

On his Sirius Satellite Radio Show, The Foxxhole, Sunday, the actor, 41, lashed out at the 16-year-old Hannah Montana star.

He went on a tirade after a caller phoned in and mentioned how Cyrus pledged to “ruin” Radiohead after the rockers refused to meet her backstage at the Grammys.”Who is Miley Cyrus?” Foxx asked. “The one with all the gums? She’s got to get a gum transplant!”

But his insults — many of which were too offensive to print — didn’t end there.

He also joked that Cyrus “make a sex tape and grow up. Get like Britney Spears and do some heroin. Do like Lindsay Lohan … and get some crack in your pipe … That’s what I want.”

In The Soloist, Jamie Foxx plays Nathaniel Ayers, a real-life brilliant musician living on the streets of Los Angeles and suffering from schizophrenia. Foxx says filming was therapeutic for him because of an incident in his life when he was younger. “I had a childhood fear of losing my mind,” he says. “When I was 18 years old something bad happened to me in college. Someone slipped something to me (a drug). I flipped out. For 11 months I wondered if I’d come out of it. I thought I was going to be crazy. So going into this character years later, I’m asking my psychiatrist, ‘Can I catch schizophrenia?’”

To prepare for his role, Foxx says, “I snuck downtown with my security guys and I watched Nathaniel do his thing for a couple of hours. I watched him playing and when he played he was somewhere else. I wanted to meet him first before ‘meeting’ him. I recorded everything he did. When he plays music, it calms his soul. When I was 18, I played my music on the piano and it kept me who I am. So I really am him in a sense.”

Foxx also responds to an incident that happened less than two weeks ago at his Philadelphia hotel where he is currently filming Law Abiding Citizen. Reports say 49 year old Steven Taliver tried to force his way into Foxx’s room, but Foxx was able to shove him out and call security.

On how he is doing today, Foxx says, “Good. Everything’s good. I can’t talk about it now because of the legal thing.”

The Philadelphia Police confirmed to ET today that Steven Taliver was arrested by the Philadelphia Police on March 31st for burglary, criminal trespassing, stalking, harassment, and false impersonating.

Scary!
