  • Tatyana Ali Reunites With ‘Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ Co-Star Will Smith at BET Event

    Tatyana Ali was reunited over the weekend with her Fresh Prince of Bel Air co-star Will Smith.

    Tatyana Ali and Will Smith were attending the 2015 Black Girls Rock event Saturday when the sweet reunion took place.

    Will Smith, 46, was at the show in Newark, New Jersey, to present an award to his wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith, when he bumped into his Tatyana Ali backstage.

    The two starred on the popular sitcom from 1990 to 1996, on which Tatyana Ali, 36, played Smith’s cousin Ashley Banks.

    The actress, wearing a GEMY MAALOUF jumpsuit, shared a selfie of the quick reunion on Instagram, writing “Backstage @blackgirlsrock @mbib #imagineafuture #nofilter #fam #tatyanaali #willsmith #FRESHPRINCE.”

    This isn’t the first time the duo have reunited. Tatyana joined fellow Fresh Prince star and Dancing With the Stars champion Alfonso Ribeiro at the premiere of Will Smith’s 2008 film Seven Pounds.

    As for the award presentation, Will Smith offered an adorable tribute to his wife of 18 years at the BET event, and presented her with the Star Power award.

    Much media attention was subsequently given to the PDA Will Smith offered his wife along with the award with a kiss and pat on her behind.

    Black Girls Rock is a non-profit organization with a mission of empowering young black women and exploring the media’s impact on them.

    Also at the event were the couple’s 14-year-old daughter, Willow, and Jada’s mother, Adrienne Canfield-Jones.

  • Jada Pinkett Smith Tells ‘Live! With Kelly and Michael’ She’s Leaving ‘Gotham’

    Jada Pinkett Smith informed Live! With Kelly and Michael stars Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan on Friday that she likely won’t return for season two of Gotham. Smith plays the role of mobster Fish Mooney, a nightclub owner.

    According to a report from People magazine, Jada Pinkett Smith only signed on the dotted line to stay one year on the show.

    “I signed for a year, and the year is up,” she told Ripa and Strahan. “But, there are some great things coming ahead on Gotham–believe you me, there’s a lot of good stuff coming.”

    Fish Mooney was one of very few new additions to DC Comics’s Batman universe. Jada Pinkett Smith loves that she got the opportunity to portray the character.

    “It definitely has been a real creative joy to have this opportunity to help create this character,” she told People.

    She even referred to herself in the third person as she went on to explain her role.

    “Fish really gives Jada an opportunity to get into some stuff that Jada wouldn’t and express herself in a way that Jada wouldn’t. Fish goes for it, and I love that about her,” Pinkett Smith explained.

    Before retiring Fish Mooney, Jada Pinkett Smith will still get to have some fun with the character. Fox released a statement about the storyline.

    “Fish Mooney’s storyline takes a lot of interesting twists and turns into the finale of season one of Gotham,” the statement reads in part.

    Have you had the pleasure of watching Jada Pinkett Smith play Fish Mooney on Gotham? Will you check it out before the season finale and the retirement of the role?

    Jada Pinkett Smith won’t say how Fish Mooney gets written off the show. Do you think she’s holding out for a possible comeback?

    “She could show up anywhere, you never know!” she says.

    That leaves things rather open-ended, don’t you think?

    There are just four episodes of Gotham left before Jada Pinkett Smith exits the show.

  • Jada Pinkett Smith On Return To “Gotham”: “I Don’t Think So”

    Jada Pinkett Smith has had quite a success on her hands with Gotham, a dark Fox drama based on characters from the world of Batman. The show has garnered a loyal following of fans, as has Smith’s character, but she said this week that she doesn’t think she’ll be returning for season two.

    When asked during an interview on Live With Kelly And Michael, Jada said she only signed on for one season, which is just about finished.

    “I don’t think so, no. I signed for a year and the year is up. But there are some great things coming ahead on Gotham, believe you me. There’s a lot of good stuff coming,” Smith said.

    Jada teased that fans have a lot to look forward to with the season finale, saying, “The show is going to have an awesome finale! You never know what Fish might have up her sleeve.”

    While it’s not clear what will happen to Fish in the season finale, it’s not a stretch to imagine the character becoming a casualty somewhere in the storyline. However, Smith said she doesn’t necessarily have to get killed off.

    “She could show up anywhere, you never know!” she said.

    Smith made headlines this week when she talked to Seth Meyers about watching her husband, Will Smith, participate in steamy scenes in his films. There’s no jealousy, she says, because she’s able to step back and see what he looks like from another side.

    “Here’s the interesting part. When I’m looking at Will in those scenes, whoever’s there is out of the way. I’m in the picture. I’m fantasizing. When I’m with Will, I get to experience him physically, but very rarely do I get to see what he looks like when he’s in the game. So I’m looking, and I’m like, ‘Is that what he looks like?’ And then I’m puttin’ 20 on 10, ’cause I’m like, ‘Well, if he’s with me, it’s gonna be extra!’ But you know…it’s sexy.”

  • Jada Pinkett Smith Likes Watching Will Smith With Other Women?

    Jada Pinkett Smith and her hubby, Will Smith, have been married for over 20 years, which in Hollywood is just unheard of.

    Jada Pinkett Smith said last year that the secret to a lasting marriage was being really close.

    She said, “Your partner has to be your best, best, friend. And he’s my best friend.”

    She added, “You have to have kind of a warrior mentality. You have to be a solider for love. You have to be able to withstand tough times and just because the tough times come doesn’t mean it’s time to stop… it means it’s time to dig in.”

    It would take a lot of work to keep “things” fresh after all those years, but apparently, Jada Pinkett Smith has a weird way of doing just that.

    The Gotham actress told Extra that she actually kind of liked watching Will Smith’s steamy scenes with Margot Robbie in his new movie, Focus.

    Jada Pinkett Smith, when asked about what it was like for her, stuttered, “After 20 years… I actually, you know…”

    Then Will jumped in, saying, “She a little freaky like that.”

    Jada Pinkett Smith continued, “Unfortunately, he’s right. It’s kind of a nice voyeuristic way to see your man, but I am kind of weird in that way. That’s a whole other conversation.”

    A whole other conversation, indeed! As weird as it may sound, perhaps Jada Pinkett Smith is on to something. The two have been married for an extraordinarily long time in Hollywood.

    Will Smith doesn’t seem as excited to see Jada Pinkett Smith in the same light.

    He joked about all the men Jada Pinkett Smith was around, in their underwear for the most part, for Magic Mike 2, saying, “There’s so many famous people in Magic Mike 2, everywhere I go there’s some man there who’s been in his drawers with my wife.”

    What do you think of Jada Pinkett Smith’s admiration of her hubby steaming it up with another woman on screen? Do you think you could handle it, much less enjoy it?

  • Jaden Smith Not A ‘Slave to Money’

    Jaden Smith only owns one pair of shoes, three pairs of pants, and five shirts. Dad Will Smith says his son refuses to be a “slave to money.”

    “He has refused to be a slave to money,” Will Smith says in March’s Esquire magazine of his son’s thriftiness. “I so respect that. The younger generation is less of an ownership generation, anyway.”

    Will grew up significantly less fortunate than Jaden Smith. He eventually, of course, starred in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, which launched a career that has lasted more than two decades.

    Jaden Smith is now following in his father’s footsteps as an actor.

    “It’s such an interesting thing to watch, because I came from a middle-class background, but, you know, our lights and gas would be cut off from not paying the bill,” Will Smith says. “I grew up in a house where you would need the kerosene heaters in the winter in case the bills didn’t get paid.”

    “And he’s from the complete other end of the spectrum. And it’s so interesting to me that from growing up in that space, he could see the need for things in a way that he’s rejecting,” he says of Jaden. “He’s like, ‘I’m not gonna let myself need things in that way.’”

    The Focus star is hoping his son will go shopping for one thing soon, however, even though he refuses to be a slave to money.

    “I would like him to get another pair of shoes,” he says.

    Jaden Smith must be an anomaly in the world of Hollywood teens. When you consider his attitude about money as compared to that of some of his friends, including Kylie Jenner and her sister Kendall, it is extremely refreshing.

    Clearly Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have instilled some impressive values in their son.

  • Jada Pinkett Smith Talks Hot Bikini Body and Sanity, Shows Off Killer Curves

    Jada Pinkett Smith may be 43 years old, but she doesn’t look it for a minute–especially when the view is of her bikini-clad body rocking killer curves on a beach in Hawaii. Jada was vacationing with hubby Will Smith, along with son Jaden and daughter Willow, just after the holidays.

    Appearing on the cover February’s issue of Shape magazine, Pinkett Smith shares within its pages just how hard it is keeping that incredible shape at her age–and she admits it’s not nearly as easy as it used to be.

    “My energy levels just aren’t the same,” she said. “My joints, my knees, the amount of weight that I can push versus what I did in my twenties, how long I’m willing to work out. For example, I’m not staying at the gym for two hours anymore. I hit it and quit it…I’m not going to stress my body that way any more. I can’t.”

    “The No. 1 reason I go to the gym is because it keeps me sane. It gives me a place to exert energy, frustration, sadness, happiness, and joy. I don’t go to the gym just to look good. I go because it also keeps my head straight,” she added.

    Jada Pinkett Smith needs her sanity these days–especially as the mom to two teenagers. Daughter Willow Smith recently made news for posting a ‘topless’ photo on Instagram. Willow, of course, wasn’t topless, but instead was wearing a top that featured a sketch of a woman’s breasts and upper torso.

    Might Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith suddenly find their hands full with Willow? She doesn’t seem to have done more than most teenagers do in that age of seeking to find their true selves. If that’s the worst they encounter (and chances are, it won’t be) then they’ve probably got it made. The fact that their lives are played out in the limelight doesn’t help, of course.

    While in the throes of raising teens, Jada seems to have a pretty good idea on what she needs to do to keep herself both healthy and gorgeous. She credits hubby Will for keeping her motivated.

    “Well, I love when Will looks at me and says, ‘You look so freaking good!’ When my husband of almost 20 years can’t take his eyes off of me? That’s amazing,” she said.

    Do you think Will Smith realizes what he has? As the husband of Jada Pinkett Smith, he certainly appears from those on the outside looking in, like a very lucky man.

  • Jada Pinkett Smith’s 61-Year-Old Mom Has An Amazing Bikini Bod

    Jada Pinkett-Smith’s mom has got it going on. The Gotham star shared her mom’s bangin’ bikini bod on Facebook prompting millions of likes in an instant. Three generations of Smiths hit the beach last week when Willow Smith snapped the now-famous pic of her amazing grandma.

    The photo showed 61-year-old Jones emerging out of the water wearing a matching orange bikini that flaunts her impressive six-pack. Smith captioned the stunning portrait with the words: “I wanna be her when I grow up.” In the photo, Jones proved that age is but a number as she showed off her hipper side, sporting a tattoo right above her toned legs.

    Post by Jada Pinkett Smith.
    Smith is known for candidly posting about her daily life on her Facebook and Instagram, making her social media accounts a massive hit for her fans. Along with her entire family, Smith spent her Thanksgiving in Jamaica, the land where her grandmother was born. She also posted their fun beach pics on Facebook, which included their wonderful turkey dinner spread while basking under the sun in the tropical country.
    Post by Jada Pinkett Smith.
    The actress posted a serious Thanksgiving message that echoed her sentiments about the deaths of Michael Brown and Tamir Rice. “I'm deeply grateful this Thanksgiving, but there will be prayer at my dinner table tonight for the Brown family, the family of Tamir Rice and all the men and women we have lost to violence,” her message read. The 43-year-old actress can be seen playing Fish Mooney on the hit show Gotham. Will Smith will also be part of the DC Comic family along with Jada. The actor is reported to star in Suicide Squad, Warner’s next DC movie which features a team of supervillains who are tapped by the government for tough assignments. Smith is going to play Deadshot, a popular villain who’s been known to clash frequently with Batman.

  • Adrienne Banfield: See The Pic You Won’t Believe

    How many people over the age of 60 would love to look like Jada Pinkett Smith’s mom Adrienne Banfield-Jones? The Gotham star took to Facebook on Friday and posted a picture of her 61-year-old mother walking out of the ocean wearing a bikini.

    We’ve probably all seen Pinkett Smith in her bikini. The 43-year-old actress is not shy about sharing pictures of her six pack abs and ripped body on social media. However, her mother is right there with her in terms of overall fitness and fine physique.

    Pinkett Smith wrote in the caption of the posted picture, “Willow took this shot of her grandmother, my mother, emerging from the ocean today. She is 61! I wanna be her when I grow up:) Happy Friday… J.”

    Here’s the pic that is putting many 20-year-olds to shame:

    Post by Jada Pinkett Smith.

    Banfield-Jones got pregnant with Pinkett Smith when she was just in high school. Pinkett Smith’s grandparents played a big part in helping to raise her. Banfield-Jones married Pinkett Smith’s father, however, the marriage ended in divorce.

    The Twitter world was also pretty impressed with Banfield-Jones’ amazing physique:

    You can currently catch Pinkett Smith as gangster Fish Mooney in Fox’s new hit drama Gotham. The origin story of Batman and Detective Gordon airs Monday 8/7C.

  • Jaden Smith Opens Up About His Father

    Jaden Smith deeply admires his father, Will Smith.

    The 16-year-old actor recently sat down for an interview where he opened up about his relationship with the Pursuit of Happiness star, reports Cover Media.

    Although most fans are familiar with the comical side of the famed Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star, Jaden decided to share details about the man behind closed doors. He even revealed his father has a philosophical side.

    “My dad is pretty much a philosopher. Nobody really knows the extent of how smart my dad is, and all the things he knows, except the people that have met him,” Jaden said.

    “He knows so many things; he’s into mathematics, so when he sees me getting into maths and sees me building, working power tools and learning how to cut angles he’s like, ‘Wow,’ and that makes me feel really good.”

    The After Earth actor, who starred in the film with his father, also credits his success to both his parents. He insists their parenting, work ethic and talents have made him into the “amazing person” he is today.

    However, his parents aren’t the only people he’s fond of. He’s also thinks highly of his younger sister Willow. He went on to dish about the “Whip My Hair” singer and admitted that he’s usually blown away by his sister’s talent.

    “I love the topic of love. I think teenage love is so crazy, so blind and so awesome that I’m glad Willow is here to express to us what it’s like to fall in love at whatever age Willow is,” he gushed.

    “I don’t know what age she is, because she’s too smart to even have an age. I can’t express love, teenage love, or what it’s like to fall in love with somebody in one day. I’m glad there are people in the world that can express that.”

  • Willow Smith: Mom Defends Photo

    Just a few months ago, young Willow Smith made headlines for a controversial photo that showed her in bed with an older man, Moises Arias. Willow was only 13 years old at the time and Moises was 20.

    The photo was shared by the young stars on social networks, but was quickly taken down after it went viral. In the photo Moises is sitting in bed with his shirt off and Willow is lying near his lap.

    Of course Willow was fully clothed and there is nothing obviously sexual or inappropriate about the photo, but the age difference and the fact that Willow and Moises were in bed together, started a debate.

    Willow’s parerents, Will and Jada Smith, kept quiet about the photo for several days after it went viral, hoping it would run its course and be forgotten about. Unfortunately, the photo didn’t go away and things got worse before they got better. They were allegedly even investigated by Child Protective Services. Eventually they decided that they needed to make a statement regarding the photo.

    Both Will and Jada agreed that there was nothing wrong with the photo and said that Willow and Moises were just friends and had been for a long time.

    Jada is still not happy with the rumors regarding the photo and recently brought it up again saying,

    “Just don’t pollute something that’s not dirty,” she said. “It’s really tough. I feel like the connection to the value of women on a bigger scale has decreased tremendously. Even though you look and go, ‘Women have so many opportunities,’ it’s like, ‘Yeah, but at what cost?’

    “Are women valued for being women, or are women valued when they have more masculine qualities? Men and women encompass both female and masculine energies, but it seems like when the feminine is present, it’s not respected,” she added

    Jada went on to say that she trusts her children and has raised them to make smart choices. Since her children have grown up living a Hollywood lifestyle, they know how to handle such situations and understand that the world is watching everything they do.

    What do you think of the photo and Jada Smith’s response to it?

  • Jada Pinkett Smith Shows Support For Teenage Rape Victim Via Facebook

    A 16-year-old girl named Jada was the victim of rape and kids have been spreading the incident on their phones and social media. “Everybody knows. And everybody’s texting me are you OK? You’re going to be OK, and I was like alright.”

    Now, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith wants justice for 16-year-old Jada. The 42-year-old actress posted a note on Facebook with the hashtag #justiceforjada. “This could be you, me, or any woman or girl that we know. What do we plan to do about this ugly epidemic? #justiceforjada.”

    According to Jada, she passed out during a party after consuming a drink that she believed was spiked. She was then undressed and raped. Her attackers also videotaped the incident. Furthermore, they took pictures of her in different poses. Jada said that she did not know that anything happened to her until pictures and videos started showing up online.

    “I had no control, I didn’t tell anyone to take off my clothes and do what they did to me,” she said.

    Right after her photos were spread online, students at her school and people online started bullying her and using the hashtag #jadapose.

    Jada’s mother said, “No one’s daughter deserved this. No human being deserved this.” Though rape victims are not required to identify themselves in news reports, Jada said that there’s no point in hiding her identity. “Everybody has already seen my face and my body, but that’s not what I am and who I am.”

    Houston Police are still investigating Jada’s case.

    Pinkett-Smith is not the only celebrity showing her support for Jada. Mia Farrow also showed her support by urging parents to teach their children about how serious sexual assault is. “Parents & Teachers it’s time to step up! Teach boys to respect each other and all girls and women #JusticeforJada,” she wrote.

    Amidst all the controversy she is facing, Jada says that she hopes her story will bring her justice.

  • Jaden Smith and Kylie Jenner Engaged?

    Legit proposal or a publicity stunt?

    Jaden Smith, 17, and Kylie Jenner are rumored to be engaged, and although the evidence suggests the rumors may be true, it seems unlikely.

    Reports have been circulating all week that Jaden may have proposed to 16-year-old Kylie after she posted an Instagram photo on July 8 of herself posing in a mirror. One can’t help but notice a big ‘ole rock on her left ring finger.

    However, one has to remember that Kylie’s family tends to seek media attention.

    I4U speculates that the twosome are allowing the rumors to continue because Kylie’s sister, Kendall Jenner, has been hogging all the limelight. Perhaps Kylie may have felt a twinge of jealousy and started the rumor of engagement to Jaden Smith to one-up Kendall, as I4U contends.

    Adding fuel to the proposal rumor is another Instagram photo of Jaden and Kylie, in which Kylie wishes Jaden happy birthday.

    On Saturday, Kylie posted another pic on Instagram with the same ring on the same finger.

    This isn’t the first time that Kylie has posed wearing what looks like an engagement ring.

    Jaden and Kylie do seem to be close. Jaden apparently flew to Europe in May for the wedding of Kylie’s sister, Kim Kardashian, to Kanye West. A witness told E! News that the young couple were seen making out during the reception. However, the teens have never declared themselves a couple.

    If a wedding is coming, it certainly won’t be without some strife between the Jenner and Smith households. Recent reports said that Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have barred Kylie’s older sister, Kendall, from coming to the house.

    “Jada took an instant dislike to Kendall; she’s got a rude mouth on her,” said a source close to the Kardashian family. “The way she spoke to Jada’s housekeeper was atrocious and arrogant.”

    Neither teen has spoken up to either confirm or deny the proposal reports. However, Jaden posted this on July 4.

  • Will Smith Cleared By Child Protective Services

    After a lengthy investigation, Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith have officially been cleared by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.

    The investigation started after thirteen-year-old Willow Smith, Will and Jada’s daughter, posted a black and white picture of her lying in bed with the former Hannah Montana star Moises Arias, 20, on her personal Instagram account. The photo has since been removed.

    The Department of Children and Family Services received an anonymous tip concerning “the welfare and safety of Willow, based on the contents of the photo.”

    Will and Jada both defended their daughter, and explained that there was nothing sexual about the photo, and that it was completely innocent. “Here’s the deal,” Jada told TMZ on May 8. “There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation. You guys are projecting your trash onto it. You’re acting like covert pedophiles and that’s not cool.”

    Will and Jada have been completely cleared, and were only warned to keep a better eye on their children’s social media sites. “No evidence presented that Willow has ever been in any danger around Moises or that she has ever been physically or emotionally abused,” a Department of Children and Family Services told Radar Online, after the completion of the investigation. The spokesperson added that they found Willow to be a “very well adjusted, smart, and articulate young lady.”

  • Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith Get Their PDA On

    Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith Get Their PDA On

    Any rumors of marital difficulties between Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith may be dispelled — for the moment.

    The couple — who have been married for 17 years — were spotted on a beach in Hawaii getting all lovey-dovey while on vacation.

    Jada, 42, was snapped holding hands and sneaking smooches with her 45-year-old husband, giggling and twirling about. They seem very happy and in love.

    Of course, one has to wonder if it’s for real or if the knowledge of lurking paparazzi may have caused a little creative staging for the very purpose of dispelling a slew of recent rumors and allegations against the family.

    Those rumors of marital difficulties and another scandal surrounding daughter Willow may be a very good reason for the family to get away for a bit and enjoy time together.

    The Willow scandal broke last month when photos of the 13-year-old lying on a bed with her shirtless friend, Moises Arias, 20, emerged on social media. Many questioned the appropriateness of their relationship considering he is an adult and she is a minor.

    “Here’s the deal,” said Jada after the incident blew up. “There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation. You guys are projecting your trash onto it. You’re acting like covert pedophiles and that’s not cool.”

    Apparently child protective services are putting the incident behind them as well.

    “There has been no evidence presented that Willow has ever been in any danger around Moises, or that she has ever been physically or emotionally abused,” a source told Radar. “It’s likely the investigation will remain open for the next two weeks out of an abundance of caution, with no findings of reprimand against Will and Jada. Willow is a very well adjusted, smart, and articulate young lady.”

    Jada’s unconventional upbringing has had tongues wagging for years.

    In 2012, Jada addressed another scandal when her parenting was called into question after Willow shaved her head.

    “The question why I would let Willow cut her hair, first the let must be challenged,” Jada wrote on Facebook. “This is a world where women [and] girls are constantly reminded that they don’t belong to themselves — that their bodies are not their own, nor their power or self-determination. I made a promise to endow my little girl with the power to always know that her body, spirit and her mind are her domain.”

    The young teen has also had an unconventional education.

    “I never really get to go to school because I am always on tour or with my father,” she said in 2010. “There is a tutor most of the time, but usually I am working so I never get to do the lessons. The worst thing about math is all the kids are ahead of me because they go to school.”

  • Jada Pinkett-Smith Goes On Vacation After Photo Scandal

    Jada Pinkett-Smith was spotted on the beach in Hawaii recently with husband Will, the two of them kissing and being playful with one another like teenagers. The couple’s getaway follows the news that an investigation into a scandalous photo of their daughter, Willow, was being closed by Child Protective Services.

    13-year old Willow was photographed lying on a bed with a shirtless Moises Arias earlier this year, and the image made its way online, where speculation grew that there might be something inappropriate going on. However, there was nothing in their poses or body language that suggested so.

    “Here’s the deal. There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation. You guys are projecting your trash onto it. You’re acting like covert pedophiles and that’s not cool,” Jada said shortly after the picture made the rounds on the internet.

    According to RadarOnline, the case has been closed due to lack of evidence.

    “There has been no evidence presented that Willow has ever been in any danger around Moises, or that she has ever been physically or emotionally abused. t’s likely the investigation will remain open for the next two weeks out of an abundance of caution, with no findings of reprimand against Will and Jada. Willow is a very well adjusted, smart, and articulate young lady,” a source said.

  • Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith: Hawaiian PDA

    Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith are constantly making headlines with rumors of troubles with their 17-year marriage. Given the PDA the two enjoyed on a sandy beach very recently, it looks like things were pretty hot in Hawaii. Of course the PDA might have been for the lurking paparazzi. The two were reportedly twirling around on the beach which–given that they’ve been together for 17 years–almost seems a bit contrived. It no doubt provided a great photo op, however.

    One thing that certainly wasn’t contrived were the amazing bodies both Jada Pinkett Smith and her husband sported. Will Smith worked out on the beach with a personal trainer during the couple’s Hawaiian getaway. Jada, who is 42, simply dazzled in a bikini–showing off a super sexy body.

    Daughter Willow Smith joined the couple several times while they were on the beach, meaning it wasn’t solely a romantic getaway, but more of a family vacation instead. Willow made headlines in May when a photo of her lying on a bed with 20-year-old male friend Moises Arias showed up on social media.

    “Here’s the deal,” Jada told the paparazzi following the photo’s firestorm. “There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation. You guys are projecting your trash onto it. You’re acting like covert pedophiles and that’s not cool.”

    Willow Smith is only 13.

    While Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith certainly appear to be happily married there are no doubt some unusual philosophies about their home life that many outside of their family might strongly disagree with–one being the freedom they allow their children.

    Nevertheless the couple is eagerly sharing evidence of their love with the world. Naysayers, the paparazzi, and even their fans will have to watch and see what happens between them in the weeks and months to come.

  • Courteney Cox to David Letterman: No ‘Friends’ Reunion

    Courteney Cox recently told David Letterman that a Friends reunion show is “not gonna happen.”

    Cox appeared on The Late Show Monday night and Letterman asked the inevitable question: will there be a Friends reunion?

    Cox said she can’t even get the six former cast members together for dinner due to conflicting schedules and the fact that they all live on opposite coasts now. If she hasn’t been able to accomplish that – and she claims to have been trying since the show went off air – how could a reunion show or movie happen?

    Cox is still on the west coast, living in Malibu with her nine-year-old daughter Coco and boyfriend, Snow Patrol rocker Johnny McDaid.

    Cox has played Jules Cobb on Cougar Town since the series premiered in 2009. She’s also worked as a director on the show since 2012.

    Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston has continued to be a household name in the years since the series ended in 2004, but what about the other cast members?

    Matthew Perry is still involved in television. News broke in December that he would write, produce, and star in an Odd Couple reboot on CBS.

    “Ever since seeing the movie The Odd Couple when I was 10 years old, it has been a dream for me to play Oscar Madison,” Perry said. “To be given the opportunity to develop a modern version of it for CBS has put a permanent smile across my face.”

    Lisa Kudrow recently voiced a character in Lovesick Fool: Love in the Age of Like. The animated short co-stars Janeane Garofalo and Fred Willard. It’s written and directed by Dominic Polcino who is well-known for his work on Family Guy, King of the Hill, and The Simpsons.

    Kudrow is also collaborating with Scandal’s Dan Bucatinsky and Dan Savage on the documentary series It Got Better, after having made a few guest appearances on Scandal herself in 2013.

    Matt LeBlanc has starred as a fictional version of himself on the BBC/Showtime series Episodes since 2011. In 2012 he won a Golden Globe for the role.

    Finally, David Schwimmer is voicing a character in The Penguins of Madagascar which is slated for a March 2015 release. Benedict Cumberbatch, John Malkovich, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Ben Stiller will also lend their voices to the film.

  • Willow Smith Rocks The Cutest Little Hippy Outfit

    Hollywood couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett are raising their kids a little left of center, and they don’t really use traditional parental teachings as either a barometer or a guide.

    It’s not only evident in the many interviews they’ve done, where they said they want their kids to find their own way, you can also tell by some of the clothes they allow them to wear, like when they let their daughter Willow Smith sport a tongue ring at just 11 years old.

    However, it was later revealed by Willow herself that the tongue ring was a fake.

    But still, it does show that Smith and Pinkett are willing to let their children express themselves, even if their choices don’t fall within societal conventions.

    And it’s that kind of freedom of choice that has made Willow Smith a fashion icon of sorts, at least among the younger ones, because she does a wonderful job of dressing her age, but she also splashes in her own style, that’s a mixture of hippy-chic and futuristic downtown cool.

    Willow has been getting a lot of attention on the Internet for posting photos of herself wearing a pair of turquoise and navy blue tie-dye pants, long bohemian braids, and cute accessories, like a 90s inspired throwback choker.

    And her brother Jaden Smith kind of has the guy version of Willow’s style, fusing skateboard and hip-hop fashions together, with a little bit of a grunge rock look thrown in for good measure.

    In a 2013 interview Will said he’s raising his kids much differently than his parents raised him, because like most of us, he was raised to speak when he was spoken to, and never question what his parents told him. But he doesn’t want the same kind of relationship with his own kids, he said.

    Will even considered letting Jaden get his own place, despite only being 15 years old.

    “He says, ‘Dad I want to be emancipated,'” said Will. “I know if we do this, he can be an emancipated minor, because he really wants to have his own place.”

  • David Mazouz Cast As Young Bruce Wayne In Fox’s “Gotham”

    Fox’s new show Gotham has received its big casting parts with the recent addition of the characters Selina Kyle and Bruce Wayne, who will be played by David Mazouz.

    The show is essentially a prequel to Batman, and will focus on Bruce Wayne as the pre-teen billionaire, before he learns to fight, and develops the urge to seek justice.

    Gotham could be compared to Smallville in a way, which focused on the early years of Clark Kent, following his years of growing up in high school with his adopted parents on Earth.

    David Mazouz is 13 years old, and while most people probably do not recognize his name, he has appeared on a Fox show already. He previously played Kiefer Southerland’s mute son on the short-lived show Touch.

    In addition to the casting of Mazouz, the character of Selina Kyle was also just cast. For those that are not super familiar with the world of Batman, Selina Kyle is the real name of Batman’s lover/nemesis Catwoman. The show will be used to give a bit of her history in addition to Wayne’s, as fans of the films have been left in the dark for the most part about where she came from.

    Camren Bicondova, an actress who has not been seen on the screen before, will play Selina Kyle. Her character has been described as “a teenage orphan who is suspicious and wholly unpredictable; a street thief and skilled pickpocket, she’s dangerous when cornered.”

    The plot of Gotham will center around Detective James Gordon, and his efforts to fight crime in the fictional city that everyone has come to be familiar with over time, where ambitious and creative criminals ruled the streets even before Batman rose to power.

    Bruno Heller, who has worked on The Mentalist, has written the script for the pilot, and will serve as the executive producer. Danny Cannon will direct the pilot.

    In addition to David Mazouz and Camren Bicondova, several other unknown actors have been cast in the upcoming series. However, there is one name that people are likely to recognize with the previous casting of Jada Pinkett Smith as Fish Mooney.

  • Jada Pinkett Smith Embraces New Curves

    Jada Pinkett Smith Embraces New Curves

    When some celebrities gain weight, they try to hide it or work out until they lose it. Others go on fasts or even under the knife to get rid of the extra pounds, but not Jada Pinkett Smith. Smith recently put on 8-10lbs of weight, but is not hiding it under baggy or loose fitting clothing. She is proud of her new curves and is even showing them off.

    In fact, she even decided to take a picture to show how her new body looks and how much she is embracing her weight gain. Smith posted the photo on Facebook. It shows the family dressed in black while attending UFC 170 event at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

    Smith noticed that she was gaining weight when a friend sent her the photo. She said that after seeing the photo, she realized she had put on about 8-10lbs but decided it looked good on her and she would not worry about trying to work it off.

    Along with the photo, Smith also posted a message to everyone saying, “Here’s to loving our bodies by our own standards:)”

    Post by Jada Pinkett Smith.

    Smith still appears to be pretty petite in spite of her weight gain and is looking better than ever. At the age of 43, she shows no signs of slowing down and recently got the role of a villain named Fish Mooney in the upcoming “Batman” prequel “Gotham” that will air on Fox.

    What do you think of Jada Pinkett Smith’s new curvy look? Do you think she will keep the weight on and do you think she will fit into her Oscars dress?

  • Jada Pinkett Smith Shows Off Curvier Figure [PHOTO]

    Oftentimes in Hollywood, you hear folks go on and on about losing weight, being too heavy or needing to workout to look better, which is why Jada Pinkett Smith is making news for not only gaining weight, but being happy about it.

    On her Facebook page, the 42 year old posted a pic of herself, her hubby Will, and their daughter Willow, all standing for photos at an event.

    In the photo, Pinkett Smith sports a sexy leather black ensemble, looking at least 10 years younger than she really is. Not to mention she pulled the whole rock star look off wonderfully and looked more like a 30-something year old going to a concert, rather than a 42 year old who’s a mother of two.

    The reason the actress posted the photo was to show that she put on some weight, and she feels really good about it. “My girlfriend sent me this pic, and I could clearly see the weight I’ve gained which is about 8-10 pounds,” she wrote.

    In addition, Pinkett Smith said that she hopes she’ll be able to keep the weight on, because she believes it makes her look a lot better, but she worried a little bit about being ready for the Oscar Awards this Sunday.

    “I think I will keep it,” she said, referring to the extra weight gain and her new curvier look. “I like being a little fuller. Let’s just hope it will fit in the Oscar dress. Here’s to loving our bodies by our own standards.”

    Ever since the Baltimore native got her big break on the 90s NBC sitcom A Different World, she’s been known for being petite and having an extremely small frame, but that didn’t keep her from being a sex symbol of sorts, as countless rappers and actors pined for Pinkett Smith before she got married to Will.

    And it’s safe to say some of them still have their eye on her, because she does look great, and that’s whether she’s 10 pounds heavier or not.
