Will Smith Wants Permission to Make-Out With Cameron

Molly — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 00:11:28 -0800

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?

Will Will & Jada Renew Their Vows?

PopSugar — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 15:44:27 -0800

The Smiths went to London for the premiere of The Pursuit of Happyness. We bet they will be back in the states for the Golden Globes in less than a week. You can tell they are all so supportive of each other. In fact, Will and Jada seem to be going strong after almost 10 years of marriage that they might do it again. Apparently not only did Tom and Katie's wedding inspire J Lo and Marc to walk down the aisle one more time, but Will and Jada too. Here's more:

Word is the actor was so overcome by his friends' fairy-tale ceremony near Rome in November that he's planning one for himself and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Tom and Katie's wedding "made me realize we didn't have a big wedding," Will told Jay Leno on December 20. "It was the most amazing experience." So he'll throw a big bash of his own. "We're going to go back and do it again," says Will, who is planning the ceremony in honor of his 10th anniversary, December 31, 2007. "We'll renew the vows and all that."

They certainly have figured out something right in this crazy Hollywood world. For more of the Smith family walking the red carpet and with other cast members like Thandie Newton just read more

Jaden Says He Was Tricked into Pursuit

PopSugar — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 10:44:13 -0800

Will, Jada and Jaden attended a charity lunch in aid of The Prince's Trust prior to the UK premiere of The Pursuit of Happyness today. The film is still #2 at the box office here in the states, and we're sure it will do just as well overseas. I mean how could anyone resist little Jaden, he is just the cutest! He and Will are just perfect together in the film, even though Jaden recently said he felt somewhat tricked into it by his dear old dad. Here's more:

Jaden said, "It's kinda cool" working with his very famous father, but he admitted, "I thought it was extremely harder than I thought it was gonna be. ... because I thought he tricked me, because I thought it was gonna be a comedy, 'cause he does 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air,' 'Men in Black,' all that stuff that's funny. And then he just comes up with a drama."

"He told me he was a little nervous about cryin'" Will Smith said.

"Were you embarrassed about cryin'? Or what, what was the thing? Or you just didn't feel like it?" Smith asked his son.

"I didn't feel like it," Jaden said. "I didn't feel like it, and like, it's hard. But I just knew I could do it."

"You weren't scared or anything with the cryin'?" Smith wondered. "'Cause like, he really, he really didn't want … to do it, you know. I'm walkin' him around for about 15 minutes after the scene. And I'm sayin', 'It's OK, man. You know, you're a great actor. Relax.' And he goes, 'I wanna make comedies.' "

I guess we know what's up next for Jaden. This kid is sure to have a long career ahead of him. For more pics including Will, Jada, Jaden, Thandie Newton, Joanna Lumley, Dynamo, Adam Gibbs, and Anna Kari just read more

Box Office Roundup - Museum Trumps Happyness

PopSugar — Tue, 26 Dec 2006 14:42:34 -0800

Pursuit of Happyness may be getting great reviews, but they weren't enough to keep the film at the top again this weekend. However, this didn't stop Thandie from celebrating this holiday in London. As for the top spot, Ben Stiller's Night at the Museum debuted at #1 taking in just over $30 million. Pursuit came in at #2 with $15 M. It's hard to compete with a film that's safe to take the whole family to. Rounding out the top 5 are Rocky Balboa with $12.5 M, The Good Shepherd with $10 M and We Are Marshall with $6.6 M.

Will's Pursuit is #1

PopSugar — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 00:05:39 -0800

We were thrilled to hear that Will Smith was nominated for a Golden Globe last week for his fabulous performance in The Pursuit of Happyness. Will was so grateful for the nomination and now he has yet another thing to make him happy. His movie came in #1 at the box office this weekend taking in $27 million! Here he is on the Today Show with son (and co-star) Jaden, who we're sure is sharing in the good news as well.

The Pursuit of Happyness was a Family Affair

PopSugar — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 07:44:45 -0800

The Pursuit of Happyness has been a family bonding experience for the Smith family. Will stars alongside his adorable son Jaden and proud mother Jada has joined them on their promotional tour. We're excited to see the movie this weekend, but it turns out Will really doesn't care if the film does well at the box office. He's just proud that he grew as an actor on the film and got to spend so much time with Jaden. Here's more:

“What it taught me - it’s interesting on camera and off with Jaden - is that the bottom line is time,” the 38-year-old Philadelphia native said. “The amount of time you spend with your child. If it’s in the bathroom or like Chris Gardner said on ‘Oprah,’ in a million-dollar home, it’s the time. And Jaden and I got to spend every single day, 10 to 12 hours a day together working on this film. It became clear that whatever you have to offer financially doesn’t matter. Whatever situation you’re in, it doesn’t matter. You have to be there. You have to be with your child. To be able to spend that many hours a day together, our bond took off in a way that I never imagined.”

“I was struggling with a scene and [director] Gabriele Muccino would come and give me notes,” Smith said. “Every time Gabriele would give me notes and wouldn’t give any to Jaden; Jaden took that as him winning [laughs]! He would look at me like I got a note and he didn’t.

Ahh... not only is Will a terrific actor, but what a fabulous father as well. More pics of Jaden, Will and Jada stopping by The Late Show so read more

Will Premieres The Pursuit of Happyness

PopSugar — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 09:10:17 -0800

Will Smith was out in Westwood last night to premiere his latest movie The Pursuit of Happyness. He looked dapper as always on the red carpet at the Mann Village Theater. We just can't get over how adorable his son and co-star in the movie Jaden is. Will recently sat down with EW to talk about his new movie and his friendship with Tom... turns out he's a little jealous of Tom's fame. Here's more:

...The conversation has turned to his friendship and rivalry with Tom Cruise, and the actor, ordinarily a perpetual-motion machine, starts answering questions slowly, feeling his way as he tends to do when addressing delicate matters like race, religion, or, apparently, close friends who suffer grand public image crises.

''We never talk about competition,'' says Smith, 38, who's in town visiting with his wife's family for Thanksgiving. ''But we mark ourselves off of each other. Movie stars are becoming extinct, and Tom and I are helping one another.'' It's jarring to hear Smith refer to himself as a movie star. For the past hour or so, he's been effortlessly affable and grounded. With a drab olive sweatshirt drowning his surprisingly lanky frame and his short-cropped hair uniformly flecked with silver, he's more like a gabby favorite cousin than one of the planet's biggest box office draws.

''His wedding was world news,'' he continues, and seems poised to launch into the inevitable defense of Cruise's privacy. ''I love that, but I'm jealous.''

Wait a minute. Jealous?

''I am sooooo jealous of him right now!'' Suddenly, Smith is roaring like a kid who just lost at Mario Kart. ''World news! Iraq and Tom. I'm like, Dude, you're beating on me right now!''

The Pursuit of Happyness will be in theaters December 15th and we can't wait to check it out! Of course since Will is BFF with the Cruises, they were at the premiere as well, along with J Lo and Marc. Pictures of Tom, Katie, J Lo and Marc coming soon. In the meantime, more of Will, his kids Willow, Jaden and Trey, plus Jada Pinkett Smith, Angie Harmon, Cuba Gooding Jr., Thandie Newton, Terrence Howard, Virgina Madsen, Catherine Bell, Ol Parker, Chris Gardner and Ludacris so read more

Jessica Really Appeals to the Teens

Molly — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 07:05:00 -0700

Apparently Jessica and Cash didn't have time to take advantage of being in Paris after Eva and Tony's wedding, because the two were at the airport on their way out yesterday morning. And don't they just look thrilled as usual (though I'm loving her coat)? Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer may have been a bit overshadowed by the other Summer blockbusters, but the Teen Choice Awards committee took notice and nominated Jessica for 3 awards: Hissy Fit, Female Hottie, Action Adventure Actress. The show isn't until the end of August, but you can vote here. Mark my words, teens love Jessica, but she may have to lose to Seacrest in the Hissy Fit category.
