Jada Pinkett Smith On Relationship

Jada Pinkett Smith shared some advice on how to sustain and maintain a healthy relationship. She said that her marriage to Will Smith works because they work at making sure there's always communication...and passion.

"You’ve got to make time. Our men want to feel important. We want to feel important," she says. "So it’s about establishing an environment in which that can happen. It can be hard because we get caught in the grind of life. Establish relationships with family members or friends and take turns with each other’s kids so you can make that time for yourselves."

"It doesn’t take a lot of money — wallets are tight right now — so just simple stuff," Jada added. "A night walk? Man, do I love those. Or pack a lunch and go to the park, like Will and I did. Even a drive — and then pull over on the side of the road! Think of places outside that are comfortable to have sex. Does he have access to his office? Have a fantasy date. Be his secretary! Be sneaky. Your girlfriend’s house at a party. The bathroom! A guest bedroom! Just switch it up. Anything like that can keep it going. Anything it takes to keep the flame alive."

DJ Jazzy Jeff On "Summertime

DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's classic 1991 single "Summertime" has become a staple of the season. Jeff revealed that the duo never expected the song to become a contemporary standard and how he told Will Smith to tone down his normal 'hyper' delivery and persona for the record.

“Every year, Will and I are waiting for this record to die,” he said. “Not in a bad way, but just like, you didn't think that this song was going to be like this. We knew it was a great record and thought people might play it every once in a blue moon, but not every summer. It's almost like this song is the launch of peoples' summer.”

“That's one of the only records we made that makes me feel exactly the same as I did the day it came out," Jeff added. "Everything was captured so perfectly. When Will's talking about little kids playing in the water plug, I go immediately back to my childhood to a fire hydrant in West Philly. That's how we grew up, but not realizing that everybody has some version of what summertime meant to them.”

Jeff also addressed the long-standing rumor that Rakim ghostwrote the song for Smith.

“He had absolutely nothing to do with it. When Will did ‘Summertime,’ I remember telling him, ‘Don't say your name.’ If Vanilla Ice would've made ‘Summertime’ and didn't say his name, you could not dismiss that you like this song,” he continued. “If he had said his name in the beginning, there'd be people who would've just turned it off or dismissed it. Will was always very hyper and I told him, ‘Bring it back. Vibe with it.’ And when he did that, everyone was like, ‘Wow. He sounds like Rakim.’ From the first day we played the record for people, they thought it was Rakim. When we first released it, everyone was like, 'Did you hear that new song that Rakim did?'"

Jada Pinkett Smith On Parenthood

Jada Pinkett Smith addressed the criticism of she and her husband, actor Will Smith, and the fact that their two youngest children, actor Jadan and singer Willow, have become pint-size celebrities in their own right. Jada stressed that she and Will aren't harming their kids by allowing them to pursue their dreams under the glare of the spotlight.

“There are so many other kids you can worry about," Jada told Uptown magazine. "My kids? They’re going to be all right. I get why people would criticize. But people need to know that Will and I would never put our children in a situation that would bring them detriment, my kids have no idea how I grew up, Even in knowing my story, they couldn’t know what that means. They have no RE-ALI-TY. None."

"My feeling is, my kids need to have challenges," she continued. "In a safe way. If I survived everything that I survived in Baltimore and Will survived everything he survived in Philly, these kids surely can survive the Hollywood game."

"With so many heavyweights surrounding them—from Beyoncé and Jay-Z to Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith to Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony—if they can fail in a circle like that, then they weren’t going to win in the first place," she added. "All I want for Trey (Will’s oldest son from his first marriage), Jaden, and Willow is happiness."

First Images Of Will Smith & Josh Brolin In "Men In Black 3" Surface

Since production on Men In Black 3 first began, the big-budget sequel has been plagued by production issues, from scripts rewrites to shooting delays. Rightfully so, fans of the series have started to worry about the impending film's quality.
But images that surfaced on The Daily Mail showcase a time-traveling Agent J (played by Will Smith) with a young Agent K (Josh Brolin), and the pics could instill some much-needed confidence into those anticipating MIB3.
Much of the film's plot will take place in the past as Smith's character has to go back to the year 1969 to stop an alien named Boris the Biker (played by Flight of the Conchords' Jermaine Clement) from killing Agent K before he can become Tommy Lee Jones, basically.
We can't tell anything concrete from these images except that Brolin looks eerily like Jones. The pictures below only strengthen the uncanniness.
Men In Black also stars Emma Thompson, Alice Eve, and Rip Torn, and hits theaters on May 25, 2012.
