Will & Jaden Smith Cover New York Magazine 2013 Summer Issue
Will & Jaden Smith cover the Summer 2013 issue of New York Magazine.
Check out what the father-son duo had to say:
Jaden on working with his famous father: “Well, with the first movie [Pursuit of Happyness], he was teaching me along the way. This is how the camera works. You do several takes. Like, literally everything you need to know about movies. And then, in Karate Kid, he was kind of holding my hand and watching me distill those rules. And then on After Earth, he was like, ‘All right, you’re an actor, I’m an actor, let’s make a movie together.’ So it was like a collaboration, you know what I’m saying?”
Will on parenting: “It is the excruciating parental pain of having to let your kids go, and you just have to hope that the lessons you’ve instilled will kick in at the right time… We don’t own our children, you know. They are themselves.”
Will on his kids being in the entertainment business: “It may seem like we have pushed our kids into the business, but that is absolutely insane. I would never, ever, push somebody to have their face on a poster that’s going [to] be everywhere in the world. He is making a choice from the informed. It’s less scary to me than if he wanted to be a dentist in that I couldn’t help with what he’d chosen. I have relationships with some of the biggest filmmakers and actors and producers on Earth. So I can be a huge help.”
How Nice…After Earth is in theaters now.
SEXY SIREN! Erica Dixon BARES HER ASSets In "BLACK MEN" Magazine
In the latest issue of BLACK MEN magazine, reality star Erica Dixon just shot a revealing pictorial that we're sure she was planing to throw in Lil' Scrappy's face after their pre-jail drama.
Now that it appears that her relationship with her baby father, fellow "LAHH ATL" star Lil' Scrappy is over (or is it really since she was holding hands with him last month as he made hi way to jail?), Erica Dixon is putting the world on notice that she's sexy and single.
We always said this girl had model potential, but we weren't necessarily talking about BOOTY model. A bit disappointing, but we admit, she's a hottie.
And with Lil' Scrappy still dealing with legal issues and an addiction to marijuana, it looks like Erica MAY have bailed on the relationship at the right time.
Good luck hunting for a good man Erica....
M.I.A. Loses Bid to Keep Child Custody Battle Private
Rapper M.I.A.'s bitter child custody battle with her ex Benjamin Bronfman will not be kept private as she had hoped.
A U.S. judge has denied rapper M.I.A.'s request to keep her ongoing child custody dispute with her ex-fiance Benjamin Bronfman behind closed doors.
The Paper Planes hitmaker has been embroiled in a nasty legal battle with the wealthy music mogul over their four-year-old son Ikhyd ever since they split in 2012.
In March (13) the British singer, real name Mathangi Arulpragasam, was banned from taking the boy out of the U.S. after Bronfman successfully applied for a restraining order, and now she has been dealt another blow following New York federal court Judge Margo Brodie's rejection of her plea for a private trial.
According to the New York Post, the 37 year old has also filed new legal documents in support of her bid to take the tot to her native England, citing the 1996 Hague Convention, an international treaty that focuses on child custody, as her main argument.

Metta World Peace “Jack of All Trades”
Formely known as Ron Artest, Metta World Peace released his first children’s book “Metta’s Bedtime Stories”. The Lakers guard has explored various careers outside his NBA job ranging from a rapper to a stand-up comedian. We have seen him demonstrate a lot of his talents over the years. I believe this is his best kept secret because his book inspires children and half of the proceeds from his book are going to Xcel University, World Peace’s foundation that helps to fund mental health research and awareness programs. I think this is wonderful and hope that his book changes the life of children all over the world.The book is available on Amazon.com. Amazon has the following description of the book:
“Metta’s Bedtime Stories is dedicated to ALL Children, Families, and Educators. Metta’s Bedtime Stories was written to help children think about daily events in a positive light. These stories will show everyone that you can always have a better day tomorrow, if you have a hopeful heart and keep positive thoughts. Five stories are featured in this book: I’m afraid of the dark, Mud in my bed, One wish, Reach for the sky, and Tomorrow.”
Mary’s Husband Kendu’s Oldest Daughter Is Pregnant and Homeless
I swear when it rains it pours . Mary J. Blige’s husband Kendu Isaac’s daughter Briana is pregnant and homeless and blasting her parents online…I am not going to clown Mary or Kendu for not helping her. I blame the daughter for NOT using birth control and “handling her business”. This is 2013 after all. Check out her tweets…
She needs to take responsibility, not her parents. Im sorry but if these teens want to be grown and have sex they should be grown and take responsibility when they are pregnant. And these days there are way too many options to prevent pregnancy for me to care.

ALL IN THE FAMILY: Swizz Beatz Takes Wife Alicia, Baby Moms Jahna & The Kids To DISNEYLAND PARIS For Daughter Nicole's Birthday!
The Deans took over Disneyland Paris (formerly known as Euro Disney) And it was all for little Nicole Dean's birthday.
Looks like those shots Jahna Sebastian threw at Alicia Keys a few years back--accusing Ms. Keys of f*cking producers for tracks (a la Swizzy)--are all in the past. Because everybody at least looked like one big happy family at Disneyland Paris.
Papa Swizz Beatz took all his kids and two of their mothers to the fabulous theme park for 5-year-old Nicole's birthday. Her mom, Jahna (far right), was there and so was his wife Alicia with their sleepy son Egypt (who was clearly unimpressed by the whole situation). Swizz's other sons Nasir and Kasseem, Jr. were there for the fun too. And everyone snapped pics as a fam as Nicole got treated like a princess for the day.
Swizzy said:The Bday Crew Euro Disney:) nothing but Love & Support #blessings
Nicole even had her own princess whip taking her around the park.
Sweet.
The kids had tons of fun on the private jet from London (where Alicia was performing for the last week) over to Paris.
Fab times.

Kardashian Connection Ruining Kanye's Finances
Kanye West's relationship with Kim Kardashian is affecting his bottom line.
Kanye West's finances 'hurt' by Kardashian union
Kanye West is reportedly not going to marry his pregnant girlfriend Kim Kardashian because his bottom line would significantly decrease should she be his wife.
Kanye West is reportedly attempting to protect the "real money" he's generated from his girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
The 35-year-old rapper and the 32-year-old reality star will welcome their first child together this summer.
Star magazine reports the Kardashian empire is financially flagging at the moment. Apparently the reality television family is living in a "financial death spiral" and struggling to make ends meet due to reckless spending.
Kanye is said to be uninterested in jeopardising his fortune for love.
"Kanye has real money. He won't marry Kim because it would hurt his finances," a source told Star. It is said Kim pays top dollar for all of her luxuries.
Her opulent expenses add up quickly and money conscious Kanye wants to keep his bottom line high.
"Kim is a shopaholic! She spends $350,000 a month on her credit cards," a source told the publication.
"She pays hundreds of thousands of dollars for designers to custom-make clothes for her, and she spent millions on Louis Vuitton handbags to match each outfit."
Kim's mother Kris Jenner manages the family and is largely credited for putting the Kardashians on the map.
It is believed there are plans in place to keep Kim in the green for a while after she gives birth.
"Kim and Kris are banking on a big payday for weight-loss endorsements, at least," an insider said.
After battling in courts for two years Kim reached a divorce settlement with former husband Kris Humphries in April. She and the basketball player were married for only 72 days before Kim requested legal separation.
Kanye has yet to ask for Kim's hand in marriage since the court's official dissolution.

Chris Brown Cozies Up to Top Shop Heiress
Chris Brown cozies up to Top Shop heiress Chloe Green just as Rihanna is suing Top Shop for unauthorized use of her image.
With Topshop mogul Sir Philip Green facing a £3.5million lawsuit from singer Rihanna, I can reveal that in an intriguing coincidence his daughter Chloe has been snapped cuddling the star’s ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
An illicit photograph posted on Chloe’s Twitter and Instagram accounts shows her cosying up to the With You singer.
Rihanna’s law firm, Reed Smith, first launched her legal case against Sir Philip just days after bad boy Chris serenaded shoe designer Chloe at her £6.5 million 21st birthday party.
Court documents submitted on behalf of Rihanna, 25, cite Topshop’s use of an ‘unflattering’ image of her on a T-shirt as the reason for the case.
Chloe’s birthday bash was held alongside Sir Philip’s 60th celebrations, at the exclusive Rosewood Mayakoba resort in Mexico.
Chris joined stars Stevie Wonder and Robbie Williams, at the bash in March 2012 but was the only one asked to perform especially for Chloe.
The young heiress was said to be ‘delighted’ with the singer’s performance.
Latterly, all news of the lawsuit had died down, and Rihanna and Chris went through a very public reconciliation.
Then just days after the pair called off their relationship for a second time, Chloe was seen getting close to Chris at his 24th birthday celebrations this month in LA.
Within 72 hours, the pair were photographed once again snuggling up – at an afterparty for the annual Met Ball in New York and the picture hit the social networks. It has since been taken down.
A source close to Rihanna revealed: ‘She knows exactly what goes on in Chris’s life and she has been aware about Chloe for a while – she’s really not happy. Rihanna considered Chloe a friend.’

Small Screen Leading Ladies Talk TV Success In The Hollywood Reporter
Never those to shy away from the spotlight, Connie Britton, Anna Gunn, Kate Mara, Elisabeth Moss, Monica Potter, and Kerry Washington graced the cover of The Hollywood Reporter's Emmy Roundtable Drama issue.
While enjoying some time away from the set, the leading ladies shared their experiences in Hollywood and how their lives have changed over the years.
For more, be sure to visit The Hollywood Reporter's!
Monica Potter
On her first television gig:
"I did a Mexican game show. It was called Nubeluz. I had to sing and dance. It was like You Can't Do That on Television, except the FCC wouldn't let us into Mexico because we were holding kids' heads underwater. So it was filmed in Lima, Peru."
Connie Britton
On fearing body image criticism:
"I've never had somebody say to me that I needed to look a certain way for a role, but I've always lived in dread of what that would be like. It's our responsibility to play these full-fledged women, and to play women who look like people we actually see in life. It's more interesting, and I think audiences appreciate it, too."
Anna Gunn
On the best advice she ever received:
"When I was a young actor, somebody said, "If there's anything else you feel you can do, you should do it. It was from another actress, a teacher of mine, and she just meant acting is tough, so if there's anything else that is pulling your heart or your desire, then you should go for that. But if this is in your blood so deeply that you need to do it, then you know that's the thing."
Kate Mara
On her favorite TV series:
"Mine's not as inspirational, but I was really obsessed with My So-Called Life. And it was only on what, like, one season? Which is my dream, because I don't want to have any job commitment, and so that would be perfect!"
Kerry Washington
On struggling with fan drama:
" I come from a family where people really participate in the democratic process. I don't think that being an actor should prevent me from continuing to do the things I do. A lot of people fought for me to have the right as a woman to be able to participate, and as a person of color, and so I don't want my acting to get in the way of that. I do it as an American. And blowback? Absolutely. After I spoke at the Democratic National Convention -- our show has a very active life on Twitter and Facebook -- I couldn't go near any of it because there were threats to my life, sexism and racism. It was shocking that me speaking at a convention incited all this anger. Thank God for block on Twitter!"
Elisabeth Moss
On the worst comments she's ever received:
"The backhanded compliments. 'You look skinnier or younger in real life.' And it's like, 'You know that's not a compliment, right?' People always say to me, 'You're so short. Like, really small, really short.'"
AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
