Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith Separate! – Heading For Divorce – Say it Ain’t So!

Here is another post we will have to file under “Didn’t see that coming…”

Undisputed Hollywood power broker Will Smith and his wife of 13 years Jada Pinkest Smith have reportedly announced they are separating.

They key word to focus on is “reportedly” as it sees there is little official word from the power couple.

The couple has two adorable, and famous, children Jaden Smith and Willow Smith.

Jaden is pals with Justin Bieber and appeared last year in the movie Karate Kid and in Bieber’s “Never Say Never” music video.

His sister, Willow, also appeared at several Bieber concerts promoting her hit single “Whip Your Hair Back and Forth.”

TMZ reported the story giving credit to In Touch Magazine, but it seems that nobody has been able to “independently” confirm any of this.

This could just be the next internet rumor or Hollywood hoax machine at work – so take it in with a grain of salt.

Will, a powerhouse actor and deal maker, got his start on the TV series “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” before appearing in some of the biggest movie block buster’s known to man.

A few of his biggies include Independence Day, Men in Black, Wild Wild West, The Legend of Bagger Vance, Ali, Bad Boys II, I, Robot, Hitch, The Pursuit of Happyness, I am Legend, Hancock, and Seven Pounds.

Smith is currently filming “Men in Black III” due in theaters in May of 2012 and starring Will, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin.

Jada Pinkett Smith got her start as Lena James in the TV series “A Different World” then went on to star on the big screen in hits like The Nutty Professor , Scream 2, The Matrix Reloaded , Madagascar, and Reign Over Me.

She is currently working on “Madagascar II” lending her voice to the character of Gloria, and is appearing as Christina Hawthorne on the hit television series “Hawthorne”.

It was reported earlier this month that Will and Jada just purchased a new 25,000 square foot mansion in Calabasas California and was quoted by Architectural Digest as saying,

“We wanted the house to have no dead ends…to create an infinite cycle that represented what Jada and I hoped for our love. For us this home was always a spiritual endeavor…we’re very earthy, organic people. We wanted to create a family retreat, something made by hand and as natural as possible, and something that ties back to the land."

These words seem genuine and don’t sound like the words of a couple getting ready to divorce.

Bottom Line:

We suspect this whole separation and divorce news is just another grand hoax and rumor mongering.

If we’re wrong – we’ll eat crow.

But for now we’re calling foul and saying it just isn’t true.

** UPDATE **

Will's son from a previous marriage, Trey, has taken to his twitter page saying his dad is not getting a divorce saying,

"Will and Jada getting a DIVORCE ..NOT TRUE AT ALL !! RETWEET."

** UPDATE #2 **

Will and Jada have just released a statement saying,

"Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact."

We didn't think it was true, and it is looking more like a hoax by the hour.

Justin Bieber to Star in Movie with Mark Wahlberg – It’s Official

It’s official!

After almost three months of speculation it was announced that Justin Bieber has signed on with Mark Wahlberg for a new movie.

While the plot is still very sketchy, Wahlberg told Deadline.com the film was a street hoops basketball story similar in plot format to the Oscar winning “Fighter.”

Wahlberg says neither him nor Bieber will be singing or dancing in the film, and that this will be a good chance for Justin to bring his dramatic acting skills to the table.

Last year, Bieber was a guest on the popular CSI television franchise and later told reporters that he loved acting, and loved the process, and wanted to do more of it.

The movie idea came to fruition after Wahlberg watched Bieber play, and win MVP, at last year’s All-Star NBA game. (Video Below). Watching the video you certainly get the feel that Bieber knows his way around the basketball court.

But he also knows his way around the hockey rink, soccer field, basketball court, and football field. The kid is multi-talented and will be a perfect fit says Wahlberg.

Bieber is no stranger to the movie screen either. His 2011 3D movie “Never Say Never” has grossed almost $100 million worldwide, and he has also contributed music to friend Jaden Smith’s “Karate Kid” remake.

The movie will be produced by Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson, and Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun will also participate. The script will be written by Ian Edelman.

The film will be standard 2D and not a 3D version like Bieber’s “Never Say Never”, and most likely distributed by Paramount.

“The tone of the project is described as ‘The Color of Money’ meets ‘The Karate Kid’. Justin loved the idea, and he’s been sending me video, he sent me a video of himself, and, yeah, I think he’s really talented.”

Wahlberg also says there may also be a chance for Bieber to bring in a few of his friends like Ryan Butler, Jaden Smith or Chaz Somers for small bit parts or cameos.

But Bieber may find himself working on TWO movie projects this year as the L.A. Times has already reported Bieber is connected to a deal with Ashton Kutcher.

Could this be a new career for the teen singing sensation?

Bieber himself has told reporters that he loves acting and wants to do more of it. And Justin is at an age where most teen idols go into hiding for a year or two while they “grow out” of the awkward lanky years that have derailed so many young stars.

We say – go for it JB.

Justin Bieber and Ashton Kutcher to Star in Teen Buddy Movie 'What Would Kenny Do?'

As if Justin Bieber doesn’t already have enough to keep him busy.

The L.A. Times is reporting that he has signed on with Ashton Kutcher for a new movie scheduled to begin shooting in late 2011.

“What would Kenny Do?” will be produced by Kutcher’s own production company, Katalyst Entertainment, and would cast both Bieber and Kutcher in lead roles.

The film is a buddy film that explores the relationship between a 17-year-old boy (Bieber) and his future self at age 30 (Kutcher). The struggling high school kid gets some guidance and life experience from a grown-up version of himself.

It’s not the first time the two A-listers and Twitter icons have tried to team up for a project. The two were in talks last year over Bieber talking the helm of a new “Punked” series but they couldn’t pull it off because of Justin’s tour schedule.

“What Would Kenny Do?” has been on the table for almost a year and it sounds like everybody is just waiting for Bieber’s European tour leg to finish. In fact, Will Smiths production company Overbrook Entertainment has now been attached to the project so we’ll probably see a cameo or two from his son, and Bieber pal, Jaden Smith.

Bieber is no stranger to big screen success as his box-office draw for “Never Say Never” grossed more than $70 million in the United States alone.

We think it will be a smash hit!

Jaden Smith Hired For New Science Fiction Movie - 'One Thousand A.E.'

Congrats to young Jaden Smith!

It seems being the young son of one of the most powerful movie producers in Hollywood has its benefits.

Hollywood Reporter is saying that Jaden Smith has been picked up for the M. Night Shyamalan Science Fiction movie “One Thousand A.E.”

Shyamalan will be working with the Production Company “Overbrook” which is run by Jaden’s real life mom and dad Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Set 1,000 years into the future, the movie centers on a young boy (Jaden) who navigates an abandoned and sometimes scary Earth to save himself and his estranged father after their ship crashes.

While the plot is being kept uber-scecret, it is known that the film was written specifically as a vehicle for Jaden. There is a main male lead but that actor has not been signed – nor has Will Smith expressed an interest in the role.

At just 13 years-old, Jaden is no stranger to the movie and music biz. In addition to his father being Will Smith, he just recently starred in “The Karate Kid” and sang the title track “Never Say Never” alongside Justin Bieber on his world tour.
