Fall TV Preview: Smith

PopSugar — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 11:28:22 -0700

Just when you thought Ray Liotta had milked the success of Goodfellas for all it was worth, he shows up as the ring-leader in the highly entertaining new crime drama, Smith, which premieres tonight at 10/9c on CBS. Tonight's episode opens with an action-packed museum robbery that sucks you in from the beginning. The remainder of the episode backs up and tells the story of the events leading up to the crime in a manner that is very reminiscent of Ocean's 11. The members of the gang are leading their separate lives from surfing in Hawaii to stealing credit card numbers in Vegas when each gets the call that a new job is being put together. Ray Liotta's character lives a seemingly quiet life in suburbia with his wife and two kids and drives his Ford Taurus to work as a district sales manager when he is not masterminding high-profile robberies. Other notable cast members include the mischievously sexy, but dangerous Amy Smart (Varsity Blues) as part of the robbery team and Virginia Madsen (Sideways) as Ray Liotta's suburban wife with a rap sheet of her own. We definitely enjoyed the pilot and hope the rest of the season is just as exciting!

Celebrity Chef Art Smith Scores New TLC Show

YumSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:30:21 -0800

NBC and Fox aren't the only channels trying to nab a piece of the cooking show pie. So is cable channel TLC. Not only does the lifestyle network boast new programming like Cake Boss and the soon-to-air BBQ Pitmasters, but the channel has just ordered eight episodes of a new 30-minute series, Craving Comfort, starring celebrity chef Art Smith.

Rather than demoing dishes in the traditional cooking show sense, Smith will travel the country in search of America's most satisfying eats. Each show will focus on one particular comfort food, such as fried chicken or apple pie. Craving Comfort will debut in late 2010.

Smith, who owns Table Fifty-Two and was Oprah Winfrey's personal chef for a decade, recently starred in the Bravo series Top Chef Masters. I think David Chang is right in saying that comfort foods will be big in 2010, and that this show will take off. Are you a big enough fan of Art Smith to tune in?

Victoria Smith's Go-To Holiday Gift Ideas

CasaSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:00:54 -0800

I do have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to holiday gifts, but I'm always impressed with what my design-savvy friends give each year. So, I decided to ask some interior design "tastemakers" for their favorite go-to presents. From designers and stylists to bloggers and shop-owners, some of the brightest stars in the design world have shared their favorite holiday gift ideas with me.

To kick things off, San Francisco-based Victoria Smith of the always-inspiring blog sfgirlbybay has shared her go-to gift ideas. But, she admits she's not a huge fan of the commercial side of Christmas: "I love the white twinkling lights, and the parties and dinner gatherings with friends - the celebrations. I do love that part."

On gifts for friends: "Most of my friends and I for years have agreed to always make our gifts for each other. Even when they sometimes don't come out quite as well as you had envisioned, we give them anyway, and just have a good laugh. From homemade pillow cases, to miniature snow domes made from baby food jars, and knit scarves, we've gone through some good gifts and some good laughs."

Charlize Helps Pay Tribute to Humanitarian Will Smith

PopSugar — Wed, 06 May 2009 13:30:37 -0700

Will Smith brought his whole gorgeous family to the Simon Wiesenthal Center's National Tribute Dinner in LA last night. Charlize Theron had warm words for her Hancock costar as she presented him with the 2009 Humanitarian award. Will said the idea of service has been part of his life since he was young, and his family expressed how proud they were of him. Will may be best known for his box-office success, but getting honored for his charitable side seems to be equally rewarding for the A-list actor.

Sugardaddy: Will Smith

babysugar — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 06:00:03 -0800

This Fresh Prince of Bel–Air has certainly come a long way since his flat top hairdo and high–top sporting days. After his long run on the popular 80's show, Will Smith earned a name for himself in Hollywood as a distinguished actor and an accomplished musician.

The man in black still knows how to turn out hot hits while acting in blockbusters. He won a Grammy Award for "Summertime" and was nominated for the Academy Award for both Ali and The Pursuit of Happyness.

To see more about this double threat and his family, read more.

Father of three, Will and his oldest son Trey sang the duet "Just the Two of Us," which melted my heart every time I watched it. The actor also has two children with his wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith. The two will celebrate their 10-year anniversary on New Year's Eve. Son Jayden, 9, starred in The Pursuit of Happyness and daughter, Willow recently made her big screen debut in her dad's new flick, I Am Legend.

This Sugardaddy is fluent in Spanish, always says, "Aw, hell no!" in his movies, and he turned down M.I.T. to pursue his singing career. Lucky for us that turned out to be a good choice.

This hip hop rapper from Philly is still "gettin' jiggy wit' it" after all these years. We hope to have many more years of this proud daddy's talents.

Will Has a Birthday Cheerleading Squad (Including Carlton!)

PopSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 11:30:57 -0700

Will Smith celebrated his 40th birthday yesterday watching his son Trey play football in LA with his family and former costar on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Alfonso Ribeiro. Will was in his element playing with his kids and giving tips to Trey while his loved ones surprised him with a special gift. Another reason for his big grin is that he just signed on for a prequel to I am Legend about the final days in NYC when the virus started to spread, though rumors of him playing Captain America are false. Sounds like Will's got all the makings of a birthday to remember, even though you all were unsure about how you felt about a sequel to his box office hit.

The Smiths, Jennifer and Keanu Stand Still on the Red Carpet

Molly — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 07:05:00 -0800

The Smith family all came out to support Jaden at the big premiere of his movie The Day the Earth Stood Still. He was joined by the movie's big name stars Jennifer Connelly and Keanu Reeves who looked like they were having a blast at the premiere...ha. Sexy Jon Hamm had his longtime girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt on his arm, though methinks Mad Men fans might be disappointed to see he's not playing Don Draper this time. It's hard to match the enthusiasm of the Smith family when they get on a red carpet and it sounds like they should get used to cheering Jaden on considering he may be the next Will Smith.

PopSugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 08:30:00 -0700

It was a big family affair in Hollywood at the LA premiere of Kit Kittredge: An American Girl on Saturday. Abigail Breslin posed with her on-screen parents, Julia Ormond and Chris O'Donnell while Rachel Bilson brought her two adorable little sisters out to see the film. Will Smith's youngest daughter Willow had the support of her whole family for her first big role in a movie that doesn't star her dad. It looks like there were plenty of smiles and sunshine all around, and if you're wondering about taking your own little ones to see it, the film comes highly recommended by our own lilsugar.

Will and Jada Escape to LA With Ben and Fergie

PopSugar — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 08:30:55 -0700

Will Smith brought his kids Jaden and Willow to support their mom Jada at the LA premiere of her Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa yesterday. The happy foursome posed for photos while Ben Stiller and his wife Christine made it a date and left their kids at home. Fergie was also on hand to walk the green carpet, though her big smile may have more to do with her wedding than the movie. Her plans are moving along and supposedly she is now working with Karl Lagerfeld to design her dream gown. She and Josh Duhamel have been engaged for a year already but they don't seem in to rushing the big day anytime soon.
