Pushing for with his hit movie franchise, Will Smith was so eager to get to work on his latest film that he literally ran to the into the set of “Men in Black 3″ on Wednesday (November 17).
Making for the first day of work, the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” stud had his shoe laces untied while quickly entering the Kaufman Astoria Studios to join up with his co-agent, Tommy Lee Jones.
An insider who was on the scene told, “Will looked in very healthy shape as he wore a tight white shirt displaying bigger arms from recent extended time in the gym.”
As for the movie, it’s being directed by Barry Sonnenfeld with a release date slated for May 25, 2012.
Keely Shaye Smith, although not as fat as my wife, is still not the woman Pierce Bronsan married. We should give her some recognition of the achievement that is wearing a bikini, not because she is defying the norm and embracing her really fat flaws that are more laziness and overeating than actual flaws, like a woman accepting who she is and not letting her stop her like she’s some kind of amputee going for a jog or some shit and doesn’t deserve that kind of acknowledgment or reward, but the mere fact that she managed to find a bikini in her size is legendary and one for the fuckin’ books. She’s disgusting, has no business getting out of her elastic waste band fat chick jeans, but does it anyway and I’d thank her for encouraging other fat chicks to do the same, but the last thing I want is to see more obesity scantily glad, so instead I’ll just tell her to fuck herself.
They’re no strangers to massive media attention, and as they made their way through the streets of Beijing, China, Will Smith and his family attracted plenty of paparazzi.
The “I am Legend” stud was joined by his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith and son Jaden as he made his way to Beijing Film Studio.
And this time, it’s Jaden who’s the star – he’ll be filming a new martial arts movie called “Kung Fu Kid” along with living legend Jackie Chan.
In the film (due out June 11th 2010) Jaden plays a boy whose mother moves to China for work. Over time he develops a love for martial arts and is taught by a Karate master (Chan).

One of the best movies (in my opinion) of all time is being remade. Do you all remember that hot 80’s flick called The Karate Kid? Wax on, wax off. Talk about a freakin’ classic. Read more about Will Smith’s son Jaden taking over as the new Karate Kid.
Will Smith’s son, Jaden, may finally be able to safely step out of his father’s acting shadow. He had his real acting debut in the hit The Pursuit of Happyness, alongside his papa and he did a fabulous job. But, now in a role all his own, Jaden may earn his own acting wings. The Karate Kid was a hit flick back in the 1980’s that is now being remade and for such a classic, the actor to take over Ralph Macchio’s role has to be semi-decent. Now 11-year-old Jaden is the new Karate Kid.
It has been a busy few months for Jaden Smith as he has had to endure some intense training, including learning those high-kicking karate skills featured in the Karate Kid flick.
Papa Will even said that Jaden has been a good help in developing him as an actor saying, “I started watching him. If he decides he wants to get up and walk, he’ll get up and walk. The cameraman will just follow him. But I had my blocking; I knew my left leg was forward. I knew that I was saying it with my left hand every time so in order for them to make the edit, I would do it with my left hand every time. He broke me out of a mechanical space.”
So just who will play Mr. Myagi, previously played by Pat Morita? Well, Jackie Chan, of course!
The Karate Kid should be ready for theater release in June of 2010! A summer hit, possibly for Will Smith’s son Jaden?
Another woman has crawled out of the woodwork claiming that she had an affair with Sandra Bullock’s husband. Melissa Smith is Jesse James’ second alleged mistress. Read more here about Smith.
Hey Jesse James, does the name Melissa Smith ring a bell? Well in case you didn’t know, Melissa Smith is Jesse James second alleged mistress. Do we have another Tiger Woods on our hands here? Hmm. Now that Michelle McGee aka Michelle Bombshell McGee came forward to share details of her 18-month alleged affair with Sandra Bullock’s husband, another woman is claiming she also had sexy time with Jesse. Melissa Smith is a tattoed woman, just like McGee. And get this, she is also a stripper. It seems James has a “type”, other than the classy Sandra Bullock.
Melissa Smith is telling Star Magazine about her alleged affair with Jesse James, saying that it lasted for two years. Yes, two years! (For those of you who didn’t know, Sandra has been married to Jesse for five years.) Smith is also claiming that James pursued her. And get this, he apparently called himself the Vanilla Gorilla. How hot is that? Pretty lame if you ask me.
So what exactly do we know from Smith regarding her alleged affair? Well, she is telling Star magazine that she met James online and during their meetings she and Jesse ended up having “lots of unprotected and crazy sex.”
Smith is also a bit of a troublemaker as she was put in the slammer last year for a DUI and beating up a police officer. Wow, Jesse sure knows how to pick them! I can’t even begin to imagine how Sandra must feel. Will there be more Jesse James mistresses to pop out of the woodwork? Not that two, let alone one, isn’t bad enough. Whether we like it or not, I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about Melissa Smith and Michelle McGee for days to come.
Continuing along with their promotional obligations, Charlize Theron and Will Smith ended up at the Berlin premiere of their new movie “Hancock” on Tuesday (June 17).
Prior to the screening, which comes just a day after the Paris premiere, Charlize and Will joked and posed with one another on the red carpet before entering the CineStar movie theater at Sony Center Potsdamer Platz.
As for the movie, “Hancock” tells the story of “a hard-living superhero who has fallen out of favor with the public, then entering into a questionable relationship with the wife of the public relations professional who’s trying to repair his image.”
Directed by Peter Berg, you can catch the sure-to-be action-packed flick when it hits theaters in the States on July 2nd (Germany on July 3rd).

UPDATE – Shaun Smith performed in the Britain’s Got Talent Semi-finals on May 25, 2009, and has advanced to the BGT finals. That video has been added below.
Shaun Smith Britain’s Got Talent audition captivated the judges and the audience. Although only 17 years old, he sang a remarkably mature and emotionally intense rendition of the classic song, ‘Ain’t No Sunshine.’ He now joins the impressive BGT singers who hope to challenge the new global music star Scottish singer Susan Boyle.
The Shaun Smith Britain’s Got Talent audition thrilled the audience and the BGT judges Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden.
Simon Cowell gave the singer high praise. He said, ‘I genuinely wasn’t expecting that, you remind me of Mick Hucknall, but good looking. You’ve got a very authentic sounding voice.” Singer-songwriter Mick Hucknall is lead singer of the British soul band Simply Red.
Shaun Smith is among the growing list of impressive contenders in BGT. He ranks among Greg Pritchard, the self-described ‘male soprano’ who sang Nessum Dorma, violinist Sue Son deliver an impressive performance of Vanessa Mae’s ‘Storm,’ a brilliant and innovative dance troupe called Diversity, a 37-year-old pizza delivery man, Jamie Pugh making his remarkable debut singing in public with ‘Bring Him Home’ from Les Miserables. There have also been two amazing child singers; 10-year-old Hollie Steel, singing ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ and stunned judges and audiences with a grownup voice, and 12-year-old Shaheen Jafargholi from Wales displaying vocal talent and stage personality in his cover of the Michael Jackson classic, Who’s Loving You.
On May 23, 2009 the BGT semi-finals begin and once again, taking the stage will be the Scottish singer, Susan Boyle, who sang I Dreamed A Dream to overnight fame. In the meantime, week by week new contenders impress judges and audiences. There is but one Britain’s Got Talent winner who will receive a cash prize of £100,000 and the opportunity to perform for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance.
As a biography, Shaun Smith is 17 years old. He is from Lichfield, Staffordshire, England where he is an A-level student and an accomplished rugby player.
If Shaun Smith pictures a singing career for himself, he is for the moment reticent and humble. He said in an interview.
“I have been singing for as long as I can remember I’ve done little things but I’ve never sung at anything this big before. It’s all very well and good my Gran saying I’m good but she’s a little biased, but it’s my mates that are the most important thing and that’s when I get nervous as they could rip me to shreds!”
Here are Shaun Smith photos. Watch Shaun Smith Britain’s Got Talent video below.
Meet Faryl Smith, British opera star who dazzled the music world at age 12 with her powerful operatic voice on Britain’s Got Talent. See photos, video and a biography here of the young teen with the “one in a million” voice.
Faryl Smith is in the news today as her highly anticipated debut album, Faryl, has just been released. Those who have had only known of the singer from sound clips from TV and live performances can now listen to a full studio album that beautifully showcases this astonishing 13-year-old musical prodigy whose rich, mezzo-soprano operatic voice belies her young age. Who can forget how she took everyone by surprise when, at age 12, she sang Amazing Grace on ITV Britain’s Got Talent in 2008.
Her amazing and praiseworthy performance enabled her to reach the finals, although she did not win, and finished outside of the top three. In the aftermath, she famously rejected a record contract from Sony BMG and signed instead a £2.3 million contract with Universal Classics and Jazz.
“When it came to the record companies and signing, it was a big deal for us. We chose Universal Classics and Jazz because I want to stay classical until I am older, and also Katherine Jenkins, who is my idol, was signed to them at the time and I wanted to follow in her footsteps.?
The album features 12 tracks in total, including Amazing Grace, the song the public first heard her sing on Britain’s Got Talent. Other notable tracks include the Welsh hymn Calon Lan, River of Light, which is based on The Blue Danube, a cover of John Denver’s ‘Annie’s Song,’ and a cover of Abba’s The Way Old Friends Do, which Björn Ulvaeus specially rewrote for her, changing the song’s subject from divorce to the more age appropriate subject of friendship.
Dickon Stainer, head of Universal Classics and Jazz called her “an absolute once-in-a-generation talent.”
“For her age there’s probably never been anybody who can sing like she can. If she looks after her voice and is nurtured properly she will be successful all over the world. She can make classical music more accessible than any other artist since Pavarotti.?
As a biography, Faryl Smith was born in 1995 in Kettering, England so her age is 13. She attended Henry Gotch Primary School in Kettering and now is a student at Southfield School for Girls.
Faryl Smith began singing publicly at age seven and performed competitively in several talent competitions including the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, the Pontins Junior Starquest competition and Festival 4 Stars. In Britain’s Got Talent, Simon Cowell remarked upon her voice and talent as “literally one in a million” Although she did not win the competition, she did perform in the Britain’s Got Talent Live Tour with the other semi-finalists. While touring, Simon Cowell arranged for her to study with vocal coach Yvie Burnett (who previously coached 2007 Britain’s Got Talent winner Paul Potts and 2006 X Factor winner Leona Lewis.)
Since winning the competition, signing the record deal, it has been a whirlwind for Faryl Smith British opera star who has had the chance to sing with her idol mezzo-soporano Katherine Jenkins who has become her mentor, and she has visited 10 Downing Street and attended the Children’s Champion Awards. Opera legend Placido Domingo has expressed interest in performing concerts with her.
In a recent interview, she speculates that she inherited her singing talent from her Welsh grandmother who taught her the Welsh hymn Calon Lan, which is one of her favorite songs from her debut album.
“I don’t know really. The only relation in my family is probably my great-nan. She used to sing on the Welsh radio. She’s 95 and still alive, though she has got senile dementia.
“I’ve kind of been brought up with that song because my grandad, who is also Welsh, taught me the words to it and it’s a personal one on my album
Though some see a parallel and want to dub her the next Charlotte Church (who also was a singing sensation at age 12) she differentiates herself in goals and aspirations, seeking career in movies as well as in music.

Trouble letting go? As the finale of “The Bachelor” approaches, Brian Lee Smith, Vienna Girardi’s ex-boyfriend has been in the news as of lately. As the final rose is about to be given to one of two of the remaining ladies, who do you think actually deserves one? Find out more details and see photos and a video here.
Vienna Girardi and Tenley Molzahn are in the running to receive the final rose and Jake Pavelka’s heart. But there seems to be contradicting stories that reflect on Vienna, in not such a good way…will Jake make the right choice? I sure hope so.
According to numerous reports, a new scandal unfolds as it has been said that since Vienna has returned home from the filming of The Bachelor, she is rumored to be “stalking” her ex-boyfriend, Brian Lee Smith. Obviously their relationship was not over when Smith was taken into custody on October 10, 2009 for allegedly trespassing at her parents’ house, days before she she was to leave for the show’s taping. Even though it is said that Vienna was not in love with Smith, it was reported that her ex-boyfriend was having trouble letting go?
It is rumored that the young fame-hungry hopeful is said to be living a double-life, which doesn’t surprise me at all. A few people who know Vienna firsthand chime in and share their feelings on her. For instance, her ex-boyfriend Brad Allen said, “Vienna Girardi is really fake. Both her body and her personality.” While her former mother-in-law, Gale Riley, reported that “She’s all about climbing the ladder and stepping on whomever she has to get there. She is not looking for a husband. She is looking to promote herself.” Following comment from a former co-worker who said, “She was always looking for her big break. She was the kind of person who would always try out for a Hooters calendar.” Moreover, another source claimed, “She was just on “The Bachelor” to be famous…She never thought she’d make it so far.”
As of the latest, a source reported that Vienna is apparently “obsessed” with her ex-boyfriend, Brian Lee Smith, believably keeping the lines of communication open during and after the filming of The Bachelor. After finishing up taping, she reportedly had a mission to get him back. You may be wondering, well why would more than one person have something negative to say about Girardi? Coincidence?
A friend of Vienna’s mentioned that when Vienna was chosen as a contestant to appear on the next season of The Bachelor, is when she decided to ditch her boyfriend revealing that “she is pretty much over it”.
These are some harsh accusations for Vienna to challenge. The next airing of the show is “The Women Tell All”. Maybe we can get some more insight on Vienna. There has got to be a reason why the other ladies were not fond of Girardi, don’t you think?
Trouble letting go? Leave us your thoughts about Brian Lee Smith, Vienna Girardi’s ex-boyfriend in the comment box. Also share your feelings on who you think the Bachelor chose to be his future-wife!
