Jamie Foxx is smooth with the ladies. In the upcoming movie Valentine's Day, he portrays a player who learns to be more romantic. In real life, he's had his own share of heartbreaks.

"Well, love in L.A. when I first got here, when I didn't have the name tag, it was a little interesting to even try to date in L.A.," Foxx said. "I think when I met this girl on Monday, it was incredible. We went to party, kicked it, went back to my crib, made love and then after that it was like we cuddled and talked. This was on a Monday. This is on a Monday, we cuddled, talked, then I woke up that morning and I smelled something. It was breakfast. She was cooking breakfast. I was like, 'Wow, she's great.'[We] hung out, then she left. That was Monday."

Sounds like the start of something good, right? Well, that's L.A. for you. "That was back [when there were] no cell phones at that time. It was land lines, so I didn't call Tuesday. And then Wednesday I didn't call. Then Thursday I was like, 'Man, what happened?'"

Unfortunately, this story doesn't have a happy ending. "Then Thursday I was at the club and I saw her with another guy and she spoke to me. 'Hey Jaime, how are you?' 'Hey… girl.' She was like, 'This is Michael. I told him all about you.' And I said okay, cool. And she said, 'Oh, and by the way. He has a Range Rover like yours only it's this year's.'"

Well, at least Jamie Foxx bounced back. Valentine's Day opens February 12.
