Posted on Wed, Dec. 21, 2005 Dan Gross | Will Smith's Mack attackCHARLIE Mack Alstonwas totally surprised by a 40th-birthday roast that his friend Will Smith threw for him Sunday at New York's P.M. Lounge. Southwest Philly-raised Mack, who turned 40 yesterday, is a longtime assistant of Overbrook's Smith, and also promotes celebrity charity events each year here in town. Mack told us yesterday that Smith had him believing they were meeting Donald Trump to develop a reality show. But when he turned up at the party, also attended by Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Taye Diggs, he knew what was up. Mack's girlfriend, Ria Ramos, and actor friend Boris Kodjoe also helped plan the affair. Smith told the crowd stories about Mack almost getting shot by the Secret Service after he "started twitching like crazy" when he got near Bill Clinton, and crying on Nelson Mandela's shoulder, reports the New York Post's Page Six. Mack met Mandela in April in South Africa, on a Smith-financed trip the pair took with kids from Overbrook High. Mack recently co-produced a film, "The ATL," a coming-of-age drama set in Atlanta that he says is due out around Easter. http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/entertainment/13454610.htm

he was on access a couple weeks ago talking about it, i just found the pics online earlier today...well yesterday

John Legend- So High...lovin' this track!

the thread title is "new pics, with terrance howard" they're from a screening event related to Hustle and Flow...as i previously stated, the others are from the AMA's...we got that already, no need to dig up old threads unneccesarily

wow...sounds like a real a**hole lol he's losing so many cool points with me this year, b/c of that attitude but i gotta say, I do have love for some of his music, the deeper/more meaningful songs like "Jesus Walks" "All Falls Down" "Never Let Me Down" "Hey mama"type songs....but the ego...seriously c'mon you haven't been @ it that long...i'll lmao if he loses to "mimi" LOL

i don't think he went, there's pics @ wireimage, he's not in any

I'm just anxious to see who they do pick,if the relationship is the central focus of the movie i very seriously doubt they'd pick a white woman just b/c of the whole interracial thing, or a black woman, b/c of stupid ass stereotypes that a film with two black actors headlining would be considered "too urban, and won't make money"....c'mon this is Will Smith we're talking about, and unless this is another "Wild Wild West" people are gonna go see his movies, he just has that box office pull...so i see them going the "safe" route and going "well we can't cast a white woman, or a black woman, so we'll get one of the best hispanic actresses out there"...but honestly I'm getting sick of latino women being cast opposite black men,for these "blockbuster" films it's getting old really fast and becoming a huge topic of disscussion when there are afr. american actresses out there, that are just as good or better...but of course people have these preconceived notions about box office pull, and interracial, black man/ white woman is almost forbidden...maybe i sound mean or something i don't know but i think Will's at a point in his career where he can make a successful film with two afr. american actors, but then again, he wanted that for Hitch....so you never know :hmm: I could be totally wrong I just hope they pick a good actress for the job regarless of her race, because you can't just give any role to anybody i hope to hear more about the movie too, b/c so far it sounds kinda vague, and I sincerely hope they change that title

I guess it's about Jon Voight not having a relationship with Angelina Jolie, and him and Will doing the Giffoni Children's Film Festival together...but really I can't see what one has to do with the other? I mean Will doesn't have AIDS but he's involved with 46664

I read this interview in People magazine, that's gotta be hella scary, she's def. been in my prayers b/c i couldn't imagine going through something like that

there's pics here guys: http://www.allthehitsq100.com/calendars/frosty05/

"Will you rock!" lol ...that's pretty much all I caught

I think you mean Regina King lol, but yeah they'd be cool she's a fave of mine * I also disagree with Jada b/c she said she'd love to do a film with Will but not as romantic interests, I think the couple being a couple gets old after awhile, besides they did that in Ali, also you can't just stick Halle in any old role, it would probably have to be a pretty big one for her to do it.....although I think she's a great actress, since winning her Oscar people love to dwell on her movies that haven't done so well but if you look @ films like Losing Isaish,The Rich Man's Wife, Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, The Wedding, Their Eyes Were Watching God (the last three were made for television movies) I'd say she's proven herself really well as an actress or maybe someone like Nia Long, Sanaa Lathan, or Nona Gaye, they're all great

it's not from the AMA's actually it's from these screenings of "Hustle & flow" that Will's hosting for Terrance Howard in hopes that maybe he can get an Oscar nod for his performance EDIT: here's an article about it: WILL SMITH WANTS AN OSCAR FOR TERRENCE HOWARD: Big Will hosts L.A. screenings to sway Academy voters *He has absolutely no financial or creative stake in the film “Hustle & Flow,” yet Will Smith has made it his mission to draw Oscar attention to the critically-acclaimed movie and its breakout star, Terrence Howard. Smith has arranged and will host back-to-back screenings of the Paramount Classics film Friday evening at CAA, the management agency that represents him. After the second showing, Smith and Howard will head across town to the Fine Arts Theater in Beverly Hills where Smith will moderate a Q&A session following a special screening for invited members of the Screen Actors Guild. "Will felt it was a wonderful showcase for Terrence and he wanted to help give it as much exposure as possible," said Smith's spokeswoman, Pat Kingsley. Smith’s cheerleading for Howard and the film began after he saw a screening of it prior to its July opening. During “H&F’s” big Hollywood premiere, Smith made a point to walk the red carpet with Howard in an attempt to draw as much attention to the actor as possible. Nominations for the 78th annual Academy Awards will take place on Jan. 31, five weeks before the ceremony on March 5. http://eurweb.com/story.cfm?id=23672 *one of the mods may want to move this to the movie section

those imdb forums are idiot-ville...worse than loretta-ville, filled with nothing but haters and they LOVE to hate on Will and Jada, my thing is, if you don't like someone, why waste your time and energy bitching about eveything they do? DUH!

he's a fool, I love his interviews, he's just being himself "I can't tell you all that, but...yeah." <---------------LOL "just say hi real quick, ok that's it, my interview"...he's too funny, I LOVE his partnership/friendship with Jeff, that's REAL hip-hop!

didn't he actually simulate a haircut in one of his old videos to give an idea as to what it would look like? I can't remember which one

I def. think it's gonna happen esp. after this AMA win, it just fueled the fire, for Will to throw out more positive music b/c the dedication of his fanbase is showing and you can tell he really appreciates it

Will was just on the Insider joking around with Pat O'Brien, acting like he was Shakira's bodyguard, he was like "don't touch Shakira" and he kept pushing Pat then Pat was like "I saw your wife and she looks gorgeous" Will's like "what the hell is that supposed to mean" and Pat's like "exactly what I said my brother" LOL...so Will was kinda pushing him again and he was like "you're not as young and fast as you used to be." it was pretty funny, esp. when Pat said "my brother" lmao

it really is a family affair I just saw Jada's mom and Will's little sister Ellen in the crowd...AHHHHHHHHH! I'm so super happy for him, just shows that positivity pays off, it's good to see he still gets so much respect after 20 yrs. in the game

so glad he won, now maybe I can find some pics! i can't even find one, guys be sure to catch the entertainent shows tomorrow if you can..i'll def. post any cool links i find

aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! yay! i'm so happy! he thanked us! lol

lmao, bow wow looks so stupid, he's trying so hard

aww, i just saw them, they look so cute! lol ..that was kinda loretta-ish huh? that's ok i'm allowed one

yeah i don't think he is, as they already have a full list, but it would've been a nice surprise, the Smiths will be there for sure though b/c i just saw on ET that more celebs were added to the guest list and Jada was one of them, so we'll at least get a sighting..i want him to win!

I seriously doubt he's performing guys, b/c I just saw the ad for the awards and he's not listed as a performer..oh well, at least we'll get to see him
