Jada Pinkett-Smith Talks About Her 'Open' Marriage to Will Smith: 'I'm Not His Watcher'















Jada Pinkett-Smith steps out of the SiriusXM studios after her interview on the Howard Stern Show on Wednesday (May 3) in New York City.
The 43-year-old actress went on the radio program and Howard Stern asked her about her notoriously “open” marriage to Will Smith.
“You gotta trust who you’re with, and at the end of the day, I’m not here to be anybody’s watcher,” Jada said. “I’m not his watcher. He’s a grown man.”
“I trust that the man that Will is is a man of integrity. He’s got all the freedom in the world, and as long as Will can look at himself in the mirror and be OK, I’m good,” Jada added.

19 Year Old YouTube Star Troye Sivan Could Be the Better Bieber

Troye Sivan. I never heard of him before this past Wednesday. My twin 14 year old nieces told me about him. He’s a huge star on YouTube, where the kids are all going for their music. Today his EP, which won’t be released until August 15th, is number 1 on the iTunes album chart. Are you kidding? I am not.
Sivan could be the next Justin Bieber. Let’s just pray he’s not, in so many ways. He has a hit song called “The Fault in Our Stars.” He wrote, produced and released it in 2013, inspired by John Green’s novel. It’s not on the movie’s soundtrack. That CD produced no breakout single. You wonder why Sivan’s song wasn’t on it. We’ll find out.
He’s a new breed of kid. Last year he released a YouTube video to his millions of fans– he’s HUGE in Australia and South Africa, his two homes– announcing he is gay. The kids don’t care. It’s 2014. If a pop star had said that in 1974, everyone would have fainted. Now, what the heck! I like this generation, but I don’t know what to call them. Generation ZZ?
Anyway, here’s Troye. I’m surprised Scooter Braun hasn’t adopted him yet. But he’s managed in America by Group III, and he’s signed to Universal Music.

Oscar Race Changes: DiCaprio, Blanchett in “Carol” Rise as “Steve Jobs,” “Truth” Collapse

The Oscar race is in motion. And like a city marathon, some runners are dropping out unexpectedly.
Both “Steve Jobs” and “Truth” were thought to be Oscar players this year. Michael Fassbender as Jobs and Cate Blanchett as Mary Mapes, respectively, seemed to be hot on the Oscar trail. They received great reviews. Alas, audiences have rejected these films. They are each more or less DOA no matter how much media (including me) loved them.
Fassbender will still go on to a nomination, I think. But Blanchett will now transfer her loyalties to Todd Haynes’s “Carol.” The failure of “Truth” boosts “Carol,” ironically. Still, I hope Robert Redford gets a nod in Best Supporting Actor for playing Dan Rather. But if history is a lesson, Redford– who didn’t help himself much with “All is Lost”– will probably not do much this time either.

James Bond: “Spectre” Smashes World Records, Daniel Craig Will Return, Writing’s on the Wall


So no one liked Sam Smith’s theme song. But everyone likes Sam Mendes’s movie. “James Bond– Spectre” is an international hit, already breaking records everywhere before its US opening this weekend.
So don’t worry– Daniel Craig will be back for one more. Mendes will probably, too. All they needed to see were the numbers. And they’re huge.
Here’s the info suppliede by the company:
In total in the six released territories, the film has taken in $80.4 million, including $67.7 million from SPRI territories and $12.7 million from territories in which MGM is distributing.
In the UK, the film has opened to an estimated £41.7 million ($63.8 million USD) in its first seven days of release, securing new records for the biggest opening of all time in UK box office history.
SPECTRE took the opening record from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban which was also released on a Monday to £23.882 million. SPECTRE also achieved a new record for the highest seven-day gross in UK box office history, overtaking the last James Bond film, SKYFALL.
SPECTRE, the 24th James Bond adventure, continues the longest running and most successful film franchise in cinema history. The film opened in 647 cinemas and on 2,500 screens, making it the widest release of all time in the UK and Ireland.

Son charged in parents' killing was to be cut off from their will

margaret bekema.jpg

A 97-year-old Michigan woman achieved a lifelong goal last week as she received a high school diploma -- eight decades after family responsibilities forced her to drop out and abandon her education.

What’s Wrong with Season 2 of Empire?

Taraji P. HensonNot so long ago, American Idol was FOX’s rating’s giant but things changed and the show was eventually cancelled. It had been a while since they had anything that drew in that kind of audience until Empire premiered last season.
With great writing, an all-star cast (including Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson) and a steady stream of great guests (Jennifer Hudson, Adele, Courtney Love, etc.), it was easy to see how they were pulling in the big numbers. It was no surprise that the season 2′s debut was massive – it attracted 16.2 million viewers which was a dramatic 81% increase over the pilot episode.

Game of Thrones Spoilers, Delayed Premiere Date


As the title of this article suggests, there are some spoilers ahead so, if you don’t want to know anything about the upcoming season of Game of Thrones, look away now.
If you are a regular viewer, you will know that the last season ended with some questions. Of course, the biggest surrounds Jon Snow and whether he is dead or alive but people were also wondering if Brienne of Toth actually went through with killing Stannis Baratheon. According to HBO, the answer is yes.
Once a character with great promise, the brother of Renly and King Robert, did actually die by the blade of Brienne’s sword which, if I’ll admit, is a bit disappointing. Considering the fact that he was leaning against a tree, mortally wounded and utterly resigned, it hardly feels honorable to kill a man in that position but what do I know?
