London Gives Will Smith a Warm Welcome

PopSugar — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:00:35 PST

Will Smith and the promotional train for Seven Pounds kept on chugging at the London premiere last night before he stopped by a studio today. With such a large group of excited fans and his name in huge lights, it's no wonder Will looked happy as can be on stage. As he continues to flash his grin around the world, his son's rumored Karate Kid remake is getting more buzz now that Jackie Chan has supposedly signed on in Mr. Miyagi's role. There's already been a bit of friendly competition in the Smith household, but it might be a few more years before Jaden is touring the world like his dad.

Will Smith Keeps Many Pounds of Cash Flowing In

PopSugar — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 04:00:00 PST

Will Smith hammed it up with his costar Rosario Dawson on the red carpet at the Seven Pounds Paris premiere yesterday. His newest movie may not be his biggest hit, but Will still generated the most box office revenue of any actor in 2008. Will has lots of reasons for his ear-to-ear grin as he begins a new year of churning out movies and passing down the talent of creating box office gold to his kids.

Movie Preview: Will Smith in Seven Pounds

BuzzSugar — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:30:16 PDT

It's cool that there's a new trailer out for Will Smith's upcoming heartwarming drama Seven Pounds, even if it doesn't offer much insight into what the movie is about. I turned to IMDB for a little help, so here's the plot description as found on the Seven Pounds page: "Ben (Will Smith) is an IRS agent who is depressed and guilt-ridden about mistakes from his past. He sets out to make amends by helping seven strangers. When he meets Emily (Rosario Dawson), a beautiful woman with a heart condition, he falls in love with her, thereby complicating his plans." Ahhh, got it now.

The film is brought to us by the director of The Pursuit of Happyness and it opens Dec. 19. To check out the trailer and tell me what you think,

Will Smith Wants Permission to Make-Out With Cameron

Molly — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 00:11:28 PST

Will Smith may not have come home a winner at last night's Golden Globes, but he certainly didn't seem too worried about it while hamming it up with his Pursuit of Happyness costars in Rome over the weekend. Inside, though, Will is more full of Saddyness, and for good reason. Here's more:

"Smith, one of the world’s most bankable stars, appears mostly opposite black or Latino women,” noted U.K. writer Leslie O’Toole. “He once confided to me that he’d love to make a romantic comedy with Cameron Diaz but feared that his audience wouldn’t accept it.”

“It’s a shame, but it is what it is,” Thandie Newton, his co-star in “The Pursuit of Happyness” lamented. “I think if it was done in the right way, where race wouldn’t be an issue, it would be great. But you can’t bend people’s minds too quickly.”

It's an unfortunate truth that interracial couples are still very much shied away from in Hollywood. Quotes like these remind us that there's still a long way to go to achieve racial equality in America. Seriously, how could you deny the preciousness (not a word, we know, just go with it) of a beautiful pairing like Heidi and Seal? What do you guys think?

First Photos of Natalie Portman Since Welcoming Baby Aleph in June!

Allie Merriam — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 12:36:29 PDT

Natalie Portman welcomed her son, Aleph Millepied, two months ago in mid-June, and yesterday was the first time we've seen her photographed since! Natalie took an evening stroll in NYC with her dog, Whiz. Despite being out of the limelight to take care of her newborn, we still had a glimpse of Natalie in her new ads for Dior beauty. Natalie had harsh words for the label's then designer, John Galliano, when he was arrested in February for an anti-Semitic rant. However, it appears that her relationship with the brand continues.

Natalie doesn't have any movies in development at the moment, which means she can take as long as she'd like to spend time with her son and fiancé, Benjamin Millepied, before getting back to work. Natalie was reportedly recently offered the lead an Adaline, a Gabriele Muccino-directed movie about an ageless woman who considers sacrificing her immortality for love. There's no confirmation, though, if she's chosen to accept the role.
