Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith:
My obsession with Will Smith is a long and passionate affair that begins, obviously, with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and spans his career as a recording artist and movie star as well as his continuously loving relationship with his family. I love his big ears, I love his goofy smile, I love his wheezy voice when he gets excited.
Mostly, though, I’m fascinated by his relationship with Jada Pinkett-Smith, who hails from our own humble city (She attended Baltimore School for the Arts).
The two met on the set of The Fresh Prince when Jada, then Jada Koren Pinkett, auditioned for the role of Will’s girlfriend. She did not get the part — apparently she was too short — but they dated for two years before getting hitched in 1997.
Here is where it gets interesting, at least in my opinion. The Smiths have been extremely open with the media, and willingly talk about the status of their marriage.
According to Starpulse (a trustworthy source, I know), Will has said that bedroom activity is the linchpin of a good marriage: “Really, really good sex. I’m really good at it.”
Jada too, has added her two cents. On the way to the Academy Awards, “Will started looking at me in this way that drives me wild. We started kissing passionately, and the next thing I knew, well, let’s just say we missed the red carpet and I ended up with almost no makeup on,” she told Shape magazine.
To top all of this ridiculousness off, Will and Jada apparently have an open marriage, in that discussion is paramount and ‘fidelity’ an ambiguous term.
“The vow that we made was that you will never hear that I did something after the fact . . . If it came down to it, then one spouse can say to the other, ‘Look, I need to have sex with somebody. I’m not going to if you don’t approve of it — but please approve of it,’” Will has said, according to Female First.
Despite this unconventional marriage, the two seem completely devoted to each other, now having been married something like 13 years.
An impressive run, considering the length of other Hollywood marriages — the shortest of which Britney Spears can claim at 55 hours.
I find their honesty rather refreshing and as a (mostly) shameless consumer of celebrity gossip, I admire their approach to media relations.
If a Pinkett-Smith-Smith fiasco were ever to occur, it would be the least sensationalized, least condemned affair in the history of Hollywood scandals.
Willow Smith:
My obsession with the Pinkett-Smith family continues. Willow, daughter of the above couple, has recently released her first single entitled “Whip My Hair.”
She is nine years old. I am 19 years old. I have none of her talent and worse, I have none of her swagger. She has done more before the age of 10 than I have before the age of 20.
I wish Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith were my parents. Their son Jaden, 12, starred opposite of Jackie Chan in the remake of The Karate Kid.
The Like:
I love the girl band The Like. They have this retro ‘60s revival thing going on, and I personally think its rather wonderful.
If you like a throaty, melodic voice on a woman, then Elizabeth “Z berg” Berg will be right up your alley. If you like girl drummers, girl bassists, girl guitarists and girl singes, then The Like is for you.
If you like lithe, aesthetically pleasing girls, then you will love The Like. If you like girls, basically, you will like The Like.
Celebrity Nudes, or Super Classy Naked Photos:
Brett Favre (of the Minnesota Vikings), Hayley Williams (of the band Paramore), and Kanye West (of, well, Kanye West fame) have joined the ranks of celebrities with nudes (also known as n00dz) circulating on the Internet.
They are in good company; Pete Wentz and Vanessa Hudgens welcome you.
All humor aside, you’d think that they would know better. Hayley Williams posted hers to Twitter. Twitter. Come on, guys, use your upstairs brain.
