*Sandra Bullock is in early talks to join Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhane Wallis in “Annie,” the update of the classic comic strip-turned-musical that Sony is making with producers Will Smith and Jay-Z. Bullock would play Miss Hannigan, the mean lady who runs the orphanage inhabited by Annie (Wallis) and her friends. Carol Burnett memorably played [...]
*Will Smith says he’s done with blockbusters, for now. Since the release of his new film, “After Earth,” which has struggled at the box office, critics have questioned (perhaps cynically) if Smith still has what it takes to put butts in the seats at theaters. But at this stage in his career, Smith says, he [...]
*Will Smith does not want his family compared to the Kardashian clan—period (and really, who could blame him?). Sure there may be a few similarities—you know, money, fame, celebrity status, that kinda stuff. But the Smith family has substance (who cares that Big Willy’s eldest son, Trey, is never seen or heard from.) Nothing says [...]
*Father and son duo Will and Jaden Smith have adopted a new family mantra, “Lets Not Discuss It.” This dismissive attitude toward media questioning underlies the Smith family’s irritation with the comparisons made between them and the Kardashian clan (makes sense). Will and Jaden attended the premiere of their new movie “After Earth” in New York [...]
*Will and Jaden Smith‘s new movie, “After Earth,” will face some stiff competition this weekend. “The Fast and the Furious 6,” which premiered last Friday, continues to rake in cash at the box office. Also hitting theaters is the highly-anticipated indie magician heist pic, “Now You See Me.” Depending on the mood of the public, [...]
*In recent years, the name M. Night Shyamalan has become synonymous with mediocre movies with a humdinger of a twist tacked on at the very end. Meanwhile, Will Smith has been so successful as the perennial star of a string of summer blockbusters, that he’s been crowned “Mr. July.” Thus, when the two former Philadelphians [...]
*Why Jaden Smith decided to dress up as Iron Man while hanging out in New York on Wednesday, who knows. The 14-year-old actor – joined by his rumored girlfriend Kylie Jenner, 15, and two other friends – hit the Big Apple in the superhero’s trademark head-to-toe red and gold costume…in 81 degree weather. The crew [...]
*Despite the a hovering collective criticism of the Smiths’ method of raising children, Will admits he didn’t force his children into showbiz. “It may seem like we have pushed our kids into the business, but that is absolutely insane,” Will Smith told Vulture. “I would never, ever, push somebody to have their face on a [...]
*Will Smith and son Jaden were in the UK last week to promote their new film “After Earth.” One of the stops was the BBC’s The Graham Norton Show. Not only did the 44-year-old actor/rapper use the opportunity to promote the film, he and Jaden, 14, along with DJ Jazzy Jeff, treated the audience to [...]
One thing you have to say about the Smith family. They keep things interesting. At least to those of us on the outside looking in. There’s a new interview out in Haute Living where Will Smith explains how he and wife Jada approach parenting. Also in the article, Mr. Smith also tells how filming “After [...]
*Jaden Smith says he has no plans to try to become emancipated from his parents Will and Jada Pinkett Smith after his father claimed he wanted his own house for his 15th birthday in July. Both father and son laughed off recent reports that Will had reluctantly accepted that their son wanted to be freed [...]
*Jaden Smith, who turns 15 in July, already knows what he wants for his birthday – and that’s freedom from his parents Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. “He says, ‘Dad, I want to be emancipated,” Will Smith told The Sun this week. “I know if we do this, he can be an emancipated minor, because [...]
*Will Smith and James Lassiter’s Overbrook Entertainment is partnering with production company Virgin Produced in a non-exclusive pact that will see Virgin Produced have the option to co-finance, co-produce and co-market a sequel to Columbia’s upcoming Overbrook product “After Earth.” That’s of course if a sequel is warranted after the pic’s May 31 release, reports [...]
*Jamie Foxx is in negotiations to star opposite Oscar nominee Quvenzhane Wallis in Sony’s forthcoming reboot of “Annie.” The update of the classic comic strip-turned-musical would see Foxx as a character named Benjamin Stacks, a variation of the Daddy Warbucks personage, who takes in the spunky orphan girl being played by Wallis. Foxx has received [...]
*Thanks to producers Shawn “Jay Z” Carter and Will & Jada Pinkett Smith, the musical “Fela” has returned to Los Angeles, opening with a bang at the exquisite Ahmanson Theater last Friday. Celebrities and patrons packed the house for a spirited experience that engaged the audience from start to finish. It was purely the art [...]
