Graffiti6 is starting to make their North American invasion, and they are hitting up the Tonight Show. Does this sound familiar? Well the Beatles made the exact same journey over 40 years ago. Naturally, @jordans_life had to make some comparisons.
Nick plays World of Warcraft. Not only that, he’s the head of his guild, demonstrating that it IS possible to juggle being a hardcore gamer with being a top-selling recording artist.
During a LIVE interview on andPOP.com Nick Carter gave out a number and took phone calls from his fans. These were real phone calls from real fans who we gave exclusive access to one of the biggest recording artists of our generation.
There were great questions about music, fitness, the backstreet boys but the most popular question, however, was about his underwear. In this clip Nick talks about his his ‘Haynes’ and covering his fans with glow in the dark paint.
When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.
Diamandis from Marina and The Diamonds talks to us about her very serious disease. It’s called synaesthetic. And we lied, it’s not a disease. More like a cool condition. Diamandis explains further.
Would you be embarrassed if someone scrolled through your iPod? We sit down with Spee and Brendan to talk about the diverse music on their playlist.
Marina and The Diamonds are working on some new music, but Marina is being very secretive about it. Although the release has been delayed, she let’s us in on some secrets about the new album, and how alcohol changed her life.
Guess somebody’s not going to be whipping their hair back and forth anymore.
The 11-year-old singer who has a new song out now with Nicki Minaj, recently shaved her head, as you can see on her WhoSay page.
Hair seems to be a big thing for the tween sensation. When she was last interviewed by MTV, she dished on her most regrettable hair choices, and an afro topped her list.
According to her Twitter page, the daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith is currently on a trip to Costa Rica. With such hot temperatures in that South American country, it’s probably a good thing she got rid of all that hair.
So why wasn’t Janet Hubert, who played the original Aunt Viv on “Fresh Prince,” at the recent cast reunion? Well she and Will Smith hate each other, and there has been tension ever since she left the show in 1993.
“There will never be a reunion … as I will never do anything with an a**hole like Will Smith,” Hubert told TMZ.
She adds, “He is still an egomaniac and has not grown up. This constant reunion thing will never ever happen in my lifetime unless there is an apology, which he doesn’t know the word.”
Smith told an Atlanta radio station, “[Hubert] said once, ‘I’ve been in the business for 10 years and this snotty-nosed punk comes along and gets a show.’ No matter what, to her I’m just the AntiChrist.”
Nevertheless, we feel strongly that Janet Hubert was the better Aunt Viv. Daphne Maxwell Reid, who replaced Janet as Aunt Viv, could never hold up to Janet.
Here come the men in black, the galaxy defenders!
The trailer for third “Men In Black” installment is finally out today. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back as Agents J and K to kick some major mutant butt.
The Los Angeles Times reports the third film has the duo travelling back in time to the 1960s, where Will Smith’s character encounters a much younger version of his partner, played by Josh Brolin.
“Men in Black 3? is scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend, 2012. The trailer does a good job at exciting MIB fans for more sci-fi action.
Will Smith’s 10-year-old daughter Willow has been whipping her hair profusely for the past year now, it’s amazing she’s not in a neck brace right now.
While 21st Century Girl, her follow up single to Whip My Hair, didn’t do so well on the charts, the tween’s keeping things hot and fresh with a little help from Nicki Minaj.
After releasing just a sample of the new track called Fireball on Twitter last week, Willow (@OfficialWillow) is finally giving fans the whole shebang. Check out the complete collaboration here.
Producer Ronald “Jukebox” Jackson told MTV News Willow’s close to finishing her debut album. Until then, expect more hair whipping will ensue.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett have released a statement saying they are not divorcing.
The statement reads, “Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false.”
The two add, “We are still together, and our marriage is intact.”
Will Smith’s son Trey Smith took to Twitter to say Will and Jada are not divorcing.
Trey is Will’s son from a previous marriage. Trey tweeted, ”Will and Jada getting a DIVORCE ..NOT TRUE AT ALL !! RETWEET.”
In Touch is reporting Will and Jada are divorcing.
In Touch is reporting Will Smith and Jada Pinkett are separating. Jada’s rep has denied the story.
The pair met when Jada auditioned for The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1997. They have two children together, Jada and Willow.
In 2008, Smith spoke with Ellen Degeneres about their marriage, which he implied would last forever.
“What I found is divorce just can’t be an option,” he said. “It’s really that simple. And I think that’s the problem with L.A. – there are so many options. So a huge part of the success for [Jada] and I is that we just removed the other options.”
We will keep you posted as this story develops.
Remember the 1990′s when Will Smith sold albums by the millions? Well given this new “digital era,” he will probably never repeat that success, but he is returning to the studio nevertheless.
Although he is busy working on the next Men In Black film, rumor has it Smith is getting back into the recording booth.
“We’re working on Will Smith, bringing him back. That’s actually him on the other line right now,” Lamar “Mars” Edwards told XXL Magazine by phone in a story that ran Thursday.
To celebrate this news, let’s watch a classic Will Smith music video:
Will Smith is no joke when it comes to fighting. TMZ has footage of the movie star kickboxing during the weekend, and he beats the hell out of the bag and the instructor.
Smith apparently was at Brazen Boxing & MMA in Philadelphia to look at some new gym equipment. He also stayed for a training session with Bellator fighterJamall “X Factor” Johnson, and Smith definitely did some damage.
We guess after beating up aliens in Independence Day and playing Ali in Ali, he had to pick up a few things.
Jaden and Willow Smith, the superstar children of Will and Jada Pinket Smith, are reportedly mentoring Michael Jackson’s kids Prince, Paris and Blanket.
Jaden, who has appeared in several films including ‘The Karate Kid’ remake, and Willow, best known for her hit single ‘Whip my Hair,’ were seen on a movie set in L.A. yesterday with Jackson’s children.
The whole meeting was allegedly set up by Katherine Jackson, Michael’s mother, to help nudge her grandchildren in a positive direction.
Sources close to Katherine say she believes the Smith children are prime examples of young success in Hollywood. They are both extremely talented and down-to-earth, and thinks the three children could learn a lot from them.
I’ll give her that – they do seem to have a very good head on their shoulders. And extremely cool to hang out with.
Katherine wants Michael’s kids to enjoy their childhood and is actively encouraging them to become involved in all kinds of activities, including acting or singing.
There has been much speculation over who will be the last guests on ‘Oprah,’ and now they have been finally revealed. Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith will be the last guests on the legendary talk show, reports The Daily Mail.
The episode will air May 25 and bids farewell to the show, marking its finale episode after 25 years.
Previous options had included Oprah’s long term boyfriend Stedman Graham, Tom Cruise, Jennifer Aniston, Gabrielle Giffords or Dr Phil McGraw. Thank god it’s not Dr Phil.
Smith and his wife and children have been on Oprah’s show many times in the past, with ‘Karate Kid’ star Jaden and ‘Whip My Hair’ singer Willow previously joining their parents on the famous couch.
The multi-billionaire announced in November 2009 that she was going to end her popular talk show. She has since then launched her own television network, called OWN – Oprah Winfrey Network.
Ratings have not been great for the network, though, which pulls in a fraction of the audience figures she is used to on her nationally syndicated show. She has vowed to focus more time and energy on it once she finishes filming the talk show.
And there you have it. I’ll definitely miss the emotional Oprah episodes, but I’m sure she’ll stir up lots of new things on her network. I’m also kind of surprised she picked the Smiths to appear on the last episode – I would have thought she’d pick someone bigger, but hey.
Here is a lesson for you – in your next life, become the son of a famous actor and start an acting career young. Reports have surfaced that Jaden Smith, son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, is making seven figure money.
TMZ obtained a copy of Smith’s contract for the films, which was signed in June 2009 when the actor was just 10 years old. The contract reveals he was paid in two installments for the two films, one for $900,000 and $100,000.
And that’s not it – there was also a bonus. Thanks to the film’s lucrative take at the box office — bringing in over $150 million — Smith received a $2 million bonus.
Let’s hope Mom and Dad have put the money in the hands of some decent accountants. The last thing we want to see is another Corey Haim situation.
If you loved 2006′s “Pursuit of Happiness,” get ready for more action from the Smith family’s father-son duo.
Will Smith and son Jaden have signed to star in a new sci-fi movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan, Columbia Pictures said in an announcement today.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is set 1000 years into the future, and Jaden will play a boy who has to find his way around an abandoned planet after his spaceship has crashed. Just like real life, Will will play the role of his father.
“The chance to make a scary, science-fiction film starring Jaden and Will is my dream project,” said Shyamalan in a statement.
Rumors of the film began generating last October, when the project, now untitled, was known as “One Thousand A. E.”
At the time, Will was only set to produce even though rumors were being said that the film was being developed for Jaden.
The film will be produced by Shyamalan and Will Smith along with James Lassiter, Jada Pinkett Smith and Ken Stovitz, Smith’s partners at Overbrook Entertainment. The screenplay is by M. Night Shyamalan and Gary Whitta.
With the star power from this dynamic duo, hopefully this film will be a successful rebound for Shyamalan after last year’s “The Last Airbender”.
With that film winning Razzies for “Worst Picture” and “Worst Director”, I don’t think Shyamalan can afford another epic failure of a film.
Actress Jada Pinkett Smith has publicly defend her and husband Will Smith’s decision to allow their kids to enter showbiz at such an early age. She insists that Willow, famous for the smash Whip My Hair, and Jaden, for The Karate Kid remake and a duet with Justin Bieber on Never Say Never, don’t bear the same financial burdens as other child stars, reports Singersroom.
She told Britain’s Daily Mail, “Our children are allowed to stay in the paradigm of being a child. They don’t have to take care of their families: become the complete emotional, physical, and financial focus that happens to many child stars. Our family structure is a little different and it’s quite hard to comprehend because it’s so outside what usually happens in a family, but the paradigm is the same.”
Although the two children may seem busy – Willow’s on tour with Justin Bieber, Jaden is starting his film career – they do seem to have a good head on their shoulders. I don’t think there’s a big problem, because Jada and Will seem like the best parents one can have. Still, though, the couple still faces scrutiny.
Author Terry McMillan has even accused the parents of “exploiting” and “pimping” their pre-teens. I think that’s a little drastic. Tons of child stars have grown up to have great careers, so I don’t think their lives are in danger because of a little singing and acting.
“This isn’t about fame or money,” says Jada. “They were still going to have their trials because of who their parents are. As much as I wish I could figure out a way I could protect my children, they have their destiny. I’m not going to put brakes on that out of fear.”
At the same time, Jada recognizes the huge following her children have, and that she must keep a watchful eye on them. “I will not overlook that. I have a 10-year-old who can stand up in front of an audience of 17,000 and rock the house. I have to keep her grounded.”
See? I think Jada and Will are going to do a fine job of raising their children. I personally wish I had parents like them – they just seem so cool, but grounded at the same time. Plus, if I was child to two hot movie stars, I’d want a career in showbiz too – can you really blame Willow and Jaden?
Now that’s gangsta.
Filmdrunk is reporting that legendary rapper Jay-Z and megastar Will Smith are teaming up to bring a modernized version of the classic hit Annie to the silver screen.
Two things standout: First of all, if Jay-Z is involved, there’s a damn good chance the music in this updated version will be hip-hop oriented. This theory also fits hand in hand with the fact Jay-Z has previously sampled a song from Annie, “Hard Knock Life”, on one of his albums.
Second, the film is apparently going to star Smith’s daughter, Willow, as the leading lady, and given the fact she already has a budding hip-hop career, the likelihood of hip-hop music in this version is probably a safe bet.
Looks like the Beebz is looking for the real high school experience!
TMZ reports that the “Baby” singer was spotted at a high school football game in California last week to watch BFFL Jaden Smith’s older brother, Trey, toss around the ol’ pigskin.
Jaden’s daddy Will Smith and Justin’s rumored paramour, Selena Gomez, joined Justin and Jaden at the game.
Trey’s team won 21-14, thankfully without contracting a case of Bieber Fever by proximity.
If Selena and Justin are actually dating, it must have been a pretty lame date!
In a baseball game it’s one strike, two strikes, three strikes, you’re out, and normally the same strike rule applies for people. However, filmmaker, M. Night Shyamalan seems to have defied this rule over and over again. Comingsoon.net reports that Shyamala-ding-dong has yet another film in the works.
Shyamalan is currently developing a new sci-fi project, One Thousand A.E., for Overbrook Entertainment. Overbrook Entertainment is the production company run by Will Smith, James Lassiter, Ken Stovitz and Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. The film is set to be a lead role for the Smiths’ son, Jaden.
It’s been ten years since Shyamalan directed The Sixth Sense, arguably his only worthy film. In the past ten years he has been consistently releasing terrible films that always bomb at the box office and get annihilated by critics. His most recent, Devil, was no exception, it barely got 50% on the RottenTomatoes meter. One Thousand A.E., surely will be no different….a piece of shit.
With the involvement of the Smith Family, you never know if some sort of Scientology element will be involved. Maybe Tom Cruise will sign on to the project too, then it will be pure gold.
Honestly, how many more chances will Shyamalan get?
There’s something crazy about the fact that Justin Bieber has the power to jump-start the career of an up-and-coming musician. But hey, Biebs, if you’re willing to help the little guy, all the power to you.
As shown on PerezHilton, Bieber’s recent single, “Never Say Never,” off of The Karate Kid soundtrack, has him singing his 16-year-old heart out and paving the way for none other than Will Smith’s son Jaden.
Looks like acting is not the only thing that runs in the Smith blood – Jaden takes to the mic and raps about things like being on a “JB” song and coming out on top even though he is smaller than his opponent.
All we can say is that this song is going to have tween girls going bananas. And between the two of them, they might have some of the best hair in Hollywood.
Check out the song’s music video, which features the two boys hanging out in the recording studio eating Twizzlers (it doesn’t get much cooler than that).
The first two movies of the Men in Black franchise collectively earned over $1 billion dollars internationally, so it’s no surprise that Men in Black 3 would be made eventually.
Making it official, Columbia Pictures has set a May 25th, 2012 release date for the third film, reports E! Online.
Currently Will Smith is on board for the third installment of the series. Also, deals have been struck with director Barry Sonnenfeld, executive producer Steven Spielberg, screenwriter David Koep, and producers Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald.
Although his deal hasn’t been sealed yet, the studio is in “advanced negotiations” with Tommy Lee Jones to return as Agent Kay, reports E! Online.
Keeping up with the trend in Hollywood, Men in Black 3 will be shot in 3D.
Also scheduled to hit theatres around the same time are The Avengers, Star Trek 2, Spider-Man, and Batman 3.
Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, donated $122,000 to Scientology groups in 2008, despite the fact that they deny being members of the religion, reports Perez Hilton.
The Smiths own private school in Southern California, The New Village Leadership Academy, which recently underwent criticism for using Scientology teaching methods. Eyebrows were raised when the “non-Scientologists” replaced the school’s headmaster with another who had completed Scientology classes.
