"Time Heals" is now "HawthoRNe" ("The Line" is now "Dark Blue") ad can be seen here: http://www.channelguidemagblog.com/index.p...es-this-summer/ cool little audio interview w/Jada here on NPR they don't have an open marriage, they're not gay (she laughed at that), and it's certainly not their intention to teach scientology to anyone's kids, their school is NOT (that's how she said it) a scientology school, and of course she talks about Will a little http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...oryId=102110238

Happy Birthday, hope it's a good one. :birthday: :Party_fest09:

how accurate is that stuff on production weekly? for some reason I don't see this happening. Will's next movie has been announced, Jada's show just got picked up, and she's rumored to be doing another film towards the end of the year, seems like the karate kid thing with Jaden is going forward and as far as I know Will's said Trey's not interested in acting much. I could be wrong though.

Jay-Z on Rihanna: Imagine She's Your Sister or Mom http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20259329,00.html ok, while I can understand his frustration as her friend/mentor or whatever I can't help but chuckle at the irony of this, b/c I could swear there's a video floating around the net somewhere of Jay slapping the hell out of some girl. I later read he was supposedly "just playing" but it certainly didn't look like it. as far as Chris & Rihanna, it's pretty much all been said, there's no excuse, i've had family members that've been physically abused, so I have zero tolerance for something like that, even though I do realize nobody's perfect.

Happy birthday, hope it's a great one. :birthday: :gettinjiggywitit:

yep, he was Jim, apparently he was verbally abusive with his own mom and sister too, so i'm not surprised by this at all. and people say women are drama queens, lol. It's a Terminator film not Gone with the Wind or some ish like that. That dude sounded so scared, I probably would've lost my job b/c there's no way in hell somebody would get away with talking to me like that I don't care who you are. and of course this isn't gonna affect his career in any way.

lol. best actor in hollywood? guess it's all a matter of opinion. honestly I feel like he just stopped playing himself and doing that "Will Smith thing" in movies a couple years ago. he certainly has the potential if he wouldn't try so much to insert his own ideas into scripts and always come out on top with the good guy/savior image in films. I think people look at his transformation from him starting out on Fresh Prince to where he is now, and jump the gun a little, he's come a long way but he admitted himself that it's hard for him to shake the more serious roles ( 6 degrees, seven pounds) and it takes weeks for him to come out of a character, now maybe I don't know enough about it but I think a great actor should be able to turn that off a little easier. I think it's funny when he says he's in his prime as an actor and it's obvious he's still struggling with the craft. I haven't seen Seven Pounds, i've just read a lot about it, but it's obvious that this film was a vanity project Will did in hopes of getting another nomination, he's chasing that Oscar a little too hard.

I don't think i've ever seen that many people in one spot in my entire life...i'll have to see how long it takes before the tears start today.

cool for Jada, her show got picked up, hope it does well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TNT picks up 'Line' and 'Time Heals' Projects star Dylan McDermott, Jada Pinkett Smith By Nellie Andreeva Jan 7, 2009, 02:50 PM ET Updated: Jan 7, 2009, 03:40 PM ET TNT has picked up two pilots to series, the Jada Pinkett Smith-starring medical drama "Time Heals" and Jerry Bruckheimer's cop drama pilot "The Line." Both projects have been given 10-episode orders and are targeted for premieres later this year. "Our new series are consistent with our belief that audiences are drawn to relatable, complex characters showcased in exciting, emotional settings and story lines," said Michael Wright, head of programming at TNT, TBS and TCM. "Time Heals," from writer John Masius, Sony TV, 100% Womon Prods., John Masius Prods. and FanFare Prods., centers on Christina Hawthorne (Pinkett Smith), a strong but caring director of nursing at a Charlotte, N.C., hospital. Joanna Cassidy, Laura Kenley, Tria Xiong, Christina Moore and Suleka Mathew co-star in the project, while pilot co-star Jeffrey Nordling is not expected to stay on for the series. Masius is exec producing "Time Heals" with Pinkett Smith and Jamie Tarses. "Line," from Warner Horizon and Jerry Bruckheimer TV, stars Dylan McDermott as the head of a squad of undercover LAPD officers who walk the line between doing their job and being seduced by easy money. Co-starring in the project are Logan Marshall-Green, Omari Hardwick and Nicki Aycox. Doug Jung penned and Danny Cannon directed the "Line" pilot. The two are exec producing the series with Bruckheimer and Jonathan Littman. KristieAnne Reed is co-exec producing. "Line" marks the first cable series for broadcast powerhouse producer Bruckheimer. Still in contention for a series pickup at TNT is Ray Romano's drama pilot "Men of a Certain Age," which might be retooled. Boston drama pilot "Bunker Hill" has not been delivered yet, while the fifth pilot from TNT's current development cycle, "Night and Day," is not going forward. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/conten...7b4577664a686e1

Julie, I was kinda touching on that when I was talking about his whole "change the world" mantra, in a thread a while back.

lol at that. I wouldn't blame the kid, remember Will said the same thing about his nephew, just one of many excuses instead of him just saying he's done because he doesn't want to do it anymore. I stopped caring a long time ago to be honest.

oh sure blame the kid, just say you don't wanna do it anymore. It sounds kinda silly going off the advice of a ten year old about something that's supposed to be such a huge part of your life.

well I was with y'all 'til I scrolled down on the first link and his pants were getting a little too personal with his ass, that just undid it all for me, lol.

no, she yells " I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMON SENSE!!!" (lmao) ok, maybe that was too tough, when Carlton runs off with Cindy to get married, he mumbles to Will "i'm a virgin" what does Will think he says at first?

whether true or not, if you think about it Max, somebody *cough*foxnews*cough* always pulls a scientology link out of the bag around the release of Will's films, they did the same with Hancock and IAL. I too was wondering how they just happened upon his tax returns, I could care less what he spends his money on, I think at this point he could care less if his career suffers from any association, it's pretty obvious. Foxnews is so blatantly racist & biased i'm surprised they have any credibility, it's plain as day people are trying to "find" some kinda dirt or scandal where he's concerned, it's actually kinda pathetic, lol. personally I wouldn't be bothered with the COS, but i'm not him, and I don't know all the facts, I take what I read on the internet with a grain of salt.

you sleepin' in Carlton's room. finish the quote Phillip (to Hilary and Will): "you didn't have the sense to know that that man would be angry that I dismissed him from the trial, you didn't have the common sense to know that?! Hillary:

Good Will As Will Smith turns 40, the world's most beloved movie star considers his family, his future and his newfound mission. By Dennis McCafferty With the inauguration of Barack Obama set for Jan. 20, Smith says he's feeling "greater than I could imagine -- if I felt any better, it would be frightening." He first met Obama in 2005 in Louisiana, when he and wife Jada Pinkett Smith helped with the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. Bill and Hillary Clinton were there, too. "I met the man and knew he had 'it,' " Smith tells USA WEEKEND Magazine. "There wasn't any talk yet that he could actually be president. But you knew he had the very same quality as Bill Clinton has -- the power to walk into a room and energize everyone in it with some kind of magical quality that you can't touch or feel. You meet him, and it makes you want to be a better human being. And a better American." Many might describe Smith that same way. One of Hollywood's few, true Movie Stars, he's riding a streak of eight straight movies that have made about $300 million each worldwide. Two recent ones, "The Pursuit of Happyness" and "I Am Legend," were considerably edgier and more dramatic than Smith's traditional popcorn fare -- and they were still hits. But his newest film, "Seven Pounds," opening next Friday, is his biggest risk to date. It is a somber story of a tragic event that represents both an ending and a beginning for Smith's character, as well as those he encounters throughout the movie. (Warning to readers: Bring plenty of tissues.) The serious themes -- love, death, the cycle of life -- resonate with Smith on a personal level. Having turned 40 on Sept. 25, the married father of three seems keenly aware of getting older and is ready to take on roles that explore the life experiences that come with approaching midlife. Sometimes real life blurs with the movies. Take his 11-year marriage to Pinkett Smith, which happens to be his second. "I have definitely become intrigued with the human response to loss, which is what drew me to this movie," he says. "The cycle of life is birth, life, death and rebirth. At least that's how it works if we allow ourselves to remain open to possibilities after death. I don't necessarily mean a literal death either. Death could mean anything, like a job firing. Or it could be what I faced when I got divorced. At first, I didn't think life could ever be good again. But I remained open to the possibility that it could. Then I met Jada, and then you experience a rebirth with a relationship like that. You got bumped and bruised along the way, but now you can't imagine how you lived your life before." As he speaks, he's relaxing in Adidas shorts and a tank top in his office/library at home in Calabasas, Calif., 45 minutes west of Los Angeles. It overlooks a pristine man-made lake that Smith had built and dubbed "Her Lake," in honor of Pinkett Smith, who walks into the room and gives him a tiny smooch mid-interview on her way out to run errands. He'll soon be off to take Trey, his 16-year-old son from his first marriage, to high school football practice ("He's a wide receiver," the proud dad says, "and he's for real"). Smith is "currently unemployed," as he likes to say, and relishes four or five uninterrupted months at home to focus on his family, taking his two youngest children, Jaden, 10, and Willow, 8, to and from school. It's a good life for a man who has always conveyed little doubt that he could achieve pretty much anything. But Smith is far from the happy-go-lucky yuckster of his alien-fighting days, more fully evolved than the wisecracking Fresh Prince we first encountered on TV in 1990. "His maturity isn't surprising at all," says USA WEEKEND Contributing Editor Leonard Maltin, author of "Leonard Maltin's 2009 Movie Guide" and host of "Secret's Out" on the ReelzChannel. "Like other smart actors, he used his successful films as a bargaining chip to make riskier movies. He's telling his audience now, 'You like me. Now please trust me to take you in a different direction. I won't steer you wrong.' That's what he did with 'The Pursuit of Happyness,' and that's what he's doing with 'Seven Pounds.'" Smith's onscreen growth seems to parallel his personal growth. Several months before turning 40, he took out a Sharpie and wrote a constitution for himself and his family in a Gucci bound notebook -- inspired, he explains, by the nation's Founding Fathers. Article 1: Make everyone we meet a better person. "That goes back to my grandmother," he says. "She'd take me to our Baptist church in Philadelphia when I was growing up, and I realized that she was always smiling. I asked her why. She said, 'It's because I know why I'm here. I have to make everything better for everyone.' Then she touched my hand, and it moved me. She said, 'See? Everything seems better now, doesn't it?' I never forgot that." Smith's attitude impressed actress Rosario Dawson, his love interest in "Seven Pounds." "If you mentiona great book you read lately to him, he makes a point of wanting to write the title down so he can sit down with it," Dawson says. "We grew up very similarly. I was raised with a big family and a lot of people, like he was. You can see this upbringing with him in how he treats other people. Remember that this was a guy who started out as the rapper who didn't curse, whose music was actually kinda sweet." But Smith is the first to admit he can get ticked off just like the next guy. Recently, he offers, he had a dinner business meeting scheduled at home. It was supposed to be a one-on-one affair. But the associate brought eight friends to Smith's house. "To be honest, I was furious at first," Smith recalls. "I didn't invite those eight other people to my house. But then I thought about our new constitution and the principles, and I thought to myself, 'How can I make these eight people better than they were when they walked in my door?' "So we set up eight additional plates for them, shared salmon and risotto and got to know each other. Everyone has the dragon of anger that comes up when these things happen, but I came back to the idea that we're here to make other people's lives better. Of course, it helped that I wasn't doing the cooking!" And Smith is perfectly capable of reaching within his inner idiot and having a good time -- even if that means pulling a "punk'd" on his kids. "Yeah, I'll get a marker while they're asleep and paint a mustache on their face," he says. "When they get up, they'll walk around for a while before they even realize what they're wearing. They think I've gone too far when I do these things." As for the upcoming holidays, Pinkett Smith will scour weather websites to find out where the best snowfall will be, and the family will head out for a vacation. "She just wants to be around snow for the holidays," Smith says. "Not me. I'll take Christmas in the Caribbean." Then, the inauguration of the nation's first African-American president will follow in January. Ten years ago, Smith looked a USA WEEKEND writer in the eye and stated that he thought he could be president someday. "I wasn't saying that I wanted to become president," he now says when reminded of his statement. "I meant that I sincerely believed it was possible for a man like me to become president." But he could be president in the movies, at least, if it's up to Obama. The president-elect has said he'd choose Smith to play him onscreen. "That kind of movie could work," Smith says. "He's already provided a fantastic ending, hasn't he?"

I saw this earlier, while not necessarily an indication of Oscar noms, the Golden Globes are usually looked at that way. To be honest I haven't heard as much "buzz" about SP as I have about some of these other films/performances. I wouldn't count him out though, you never know.
