The 2009 AFI Festival 'Precious' Hollywood Premiere
I hope people go out and see this movie. I read the book (Push) many moons ago and it was tragic and unbelievable. A story that stays with you. A story that changes you.
Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, Will Smith, Oprah, Tyler Perry, Olivia Wilde, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, Lisa Edelstein, Paula Abdul, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon and Mo'Nique attended the 'Precious' premiere at the AFI Film Festival over the weekend.
I'm going to put the summary of the movie under the cut because there are some disturbing topics that are covered. Click on the continue reading link to read it.
Have you read 'Push' or are you planning on seeing 'Precious'?
Hancock Sequel In The Works
Hey Will Smith fans! Guess what? Hancock 2 is in the works. Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman are all back for round 2 of Columbia Pictures' action-comedy.
I just loved Jason in this movie. Can't wait to see what the new storyline will be.
While plot details are being kept under wraps, Berg has said Smith and Theron will once again play immortal gods, who lose their powers when in each other's presence. The two must pair up to deal with a third entity. The actioner is expected to explore the 3,000-year-old world they're from, which was only hinted at in the first film.
Bateman would return as the PR exec who transforms the image of Smith's boozy superhero.
No release date as of yet. Are you planning on catching the sequel?
Jada Pinkett Smith And Will Smith Do Not Swing
Jada Pinkett Smith clarified that rumor about her marriage to husband Will Smith this morning on a radio show. After 11 years of marriage, I guess Jada's heard it all, but since she's busy promoting her new show 'HawthoRNe' she has taken the time to clear the air.
'I've heard all the things -- their marriage is not real, he's gay,
she's gay, they swing,' she said. 'But at the end of the day, people
have to believe what they have to believe.'The couple -- who are raising children Willow, 8, Jaden, 10, and Trey,
16 -- has no plans to try to convince people of their sexuality at this
point in their lives.'One thing Will and I are not here to do, is like, what's real for us is
what's real for us, so you can either get on that bandwagon or not,'
she says. 'I'll tell you what, it's too hard to be in a pretend
marriage. Life's too short for that one.' "
Good for her! I really admire this couple: despite being in the middle of Hollywood, they've managed to stay together, drama free, and are raising a family together! That's a miracle in the entertainment industry.
Jada's new show starts tonight, and it co-star's 'Alias' star Michael Vartan. Anyone plan on watching?

Star Salaries
What do stars make? A lot, as I'm sure you already knew ;) Yet I still found some of this surprising.
Jerry Seinfeld tops this list of stars with reported earnings of $87 million a year. 'Seinfeld' residuals must still be coming in strong ;)
Will Smith is pretty close behind with $80 million. He gets well for being considered one of the last bankable movie stars!
'American Idol' host Simon Cowell reportedly makes $72 million a year. Whew! I guess he can afford to leave the show if he wants, can't he?
Jennifer Aniston makes $27 million, while Brad Pitt reportedly makes $20 million. I wouldn't have guessed that Brad makes less than Jennifer, but I guess if you're counting 'Friends' residuals, that could make a big difference.
It's a tough field, but it certainly pays well if you make it!

Jada Pinkett Smith Addresses Open Marriage Rumor
I CAN'T BELIEVE that Jada Pinkett Smith ACTUALLY responded to these ridiculous rumors that follow her marriage year after year. If you haven't heard:
Will Smith is gay.
AND
Will and Jada have an open marriage.
Insane I know!!! While being interviewed by National Public Radio, Jada had this to say to end the quiet buzz.
"I don’t have an open marriage and no, we’re not gay - and you don’t trust that? Well then there’s nothing that I really have to say to anybody about anything, because at the end of the day, I’m living my life, and I’m happy."
There you have it. Wonder if Will and Jada are bothered by these rumors? Or do they understand it's just part of the game?
After 12 years of marriage, it's not like it really matters. These two are as happy as can be.

Jada Pinkett Smith Opening Another School
Will Smith caused some controversy when he opened up a school based on teaching methods from Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. But apparently things are going well enough that the Smith family is going to continue their foray into the education system.
Will's school goes from pre-kinder through 6th grade. Jada Pinkett Smith wants to open up a high school.
Pinkett Smith says she decided to open the elementary school after developing a home-school program for her children.
What do you think about celebs getting into the business of education?

Will And Jada Pinkett Smith Reach Out To Chris Brown And Rihanna
"Jada and I reached out to both of them. If it’s help they need, then let’s get it right.
"This is a time where they need to be left alone and if they have things they need to work out, work it out. People should take a minute before they jump on it and judge. We don't know nothing."If there are mistakes people make, then they should be willing to live up to the mistakes and do whatever penance they need to do. I don't think it's up to us, specifically the media, with such a fast hand to try to chop someone' s head off."
-- Will Smith (via Extra Tv interview)
"Violence towards women of any kind is completely unacceptable."
