Cultural Rhythms Chooses Honoree Actress Jada Pinkett-Smith will be Guest of Honor in Feb. 26 ceremony By ALICIA WARLICK Contributing Writer The Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations announced yesterday that actress Jada Pinkett-Smith will serve as its Guest of Honor at this Saturday’s 20th annual Cultural Rhythms show. During the event, the Foundation will recognize Pinkett-Smith as its Artist of the Year, an honor bestowed upon an individual who makes a distinguished contribution to the arts and to humanitarian efforts. Past guests of the Foundation include George Lopez a year ago, Queen Latifah in 2003, Jackie Chan in 2001, Matt Damon in 2000, Halle Berry in 1998 and Pinkett-Smith’s husband, actor Will Smith, in 1999. Pinkett-Smith’s career spans a diversity of roles, ranging from Lena James on television’s “A Different World” to more recent feature roles on the big screen as Woo in “Woo,” Niobe in “The Matrix Reloaded” and “Matrix Revolutions,” and Annie in “Collateral.” In addition to her roles on the silver screen, she wrote and produced “All of Us,” a television series partly inspired by her relationship with her husband, Will Smith. Off-screen and far from the limelight, Pinkett-Smith and her husband have quietly established The Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith Family Foundation, which serves at-risk and underprivileged American and South African families. The organization has provided $50,000 in funding to the Warrior Institute—located at Morgan University in Maryland, where Pinkett-Smith was born—to “create a culturally sensitive and developmentally superior learning environment for young African-American boys that will raise their consciousness, build their confidence, restore their critical thinking and revive their greatness,” according to the Institute’s website. The Pinkett-Smith Family Foundation also assists African countries in their ongoing efforts in the fight against AIDS, according to S. Allen Counter, the director of the Harvard Foundation, who praised Pinkett-Smith in her capacity as both performer and philanthropist. “An outstanding American artist today...and represents great values,” Counter said. “[she is] honest, decent...I am impressed with her intellect and her knowledge of people and events.” “She is the best example the foundation could have showcased because she is so versatile—to be a mother, and very accomplished, and [to have] taken a lot of high impact risks in roles and done well with them,” said Lawrence Adjah ’06, president of the Harvard Black Students Association. This year’s Cultural Ryhthms show will feature performances by the Harvard Phillipine Forum, Harvard Wushu, and the Harvard Lithuanian Club, as well as a host of others. The event means “being able to celebrate all cultures as well as your own. So it’s kind of like a fusion,” said Yui Hirohashi ’06, student publicist at the Harvard Foundation. “Jada will add to that energy.” The performances will not only represent traditionally known cultural art forms, but also blends of artistic styles. Among the acts, Fuerza Latina will reprise its Candela Hip Hop, a style of Latin music incorporating traditional and contemporary elements. The show offers both a visual platform for performers who would not otherwise appear on the same stage, as well as a forum to bring together diverse groups. “[students] must be enabled to develop their own programs to develop their own cultural understanding,” Counter said. http://www.thecrimson.com/today/article505921.html *it's cool to see that Will, and now Jada both have been honored for their work with their foundation...i'm glad they're making progress with it, and they're using it to help in Africa :thumb:

Any interview with Will Smith inevitably turns out to be an audience with Will Smith. The artist formerly known as the Fresh Prince is holding court and in the mood to entertain. So when an attractive blonde journalist asks how he picks up women, he demonstrates - leaping off the podium and lifting the delighted girl (fortunately she is on the petite side) up in his arms and pecking her enthusiastically on the cheek. Her question to the star, who is happily married to Matrix actress Jada Pinkett Smith, is not as leading as it might seem. Because in his latest film Hitch, the 36-year-old actor, plays a man who is an expert in picking up women (in the romantic rather than literal sense). Hitch is a smooth-talking "date doctor" who has made a career out of helping hopelessly lovelorn males win the hearts of beautiful women. However, while Will, star of Independence Day, Men In Black and I Robot, may seem to have all the right tools for wooing the opposite sex - the looks, the career, the attitude - he admits he wasn't always this suave. "Goofy was the word most frequently used about me. I was this tall (he is 6ft 2in) from age 12 and about half the weight I am now. As I started to fill out I gained a little more confidence." However, Will's heart was broken at an early age in a traumatic incident. "I was about ten years old and Stacy Brooks had promised me the last dance at a birthday party. "I was there, I was ready. The DJ announces it is the last song and I turn round and she is on the dance floor with David Brandon. I've been scarred from that moment." He is sufficiently recovered to count Stacy as one of his oldest friends - "we talk on the phone and our kids play together, so I've gotten over it." Hitch's creed is that all women - no matter how career fixated they might be - are waiting to be swept off their feet. "And it's not just women, it's men too," stresses Will. "We all want to be in love, to find that one person who will love us no matter what - no matter how our feet smell, no matter how angry we get some days. I believe the idea in the movie that every guy has a shot at any woman. I think everybody has a quality that is loveable, it is just a question of finding that quality and illuminating it." Will also thinks it is women who hold most of the cards when it comes to getting dates. "They have more choices because any man will sleep with any woman. If a guy is single there is almost no woman that he won't find something attractive about." Even Margaret Thatcher? "Well she is kind of sexy and strong." Moving swiftly on, the recipient of Hitch's sage advice in the movie is Albert Brennaman (Kevin James), a short, portly, bespectacled accountant in love with a stunning heiress. As part of his coaching, Hitch has to show Albert how to deliver the perfect first kiss. "That was interesting," grins Will. "We shot it in New York and we did the scene with 250 New Yorkers standing around. This black guy, who looked like he might be homeless, walked up and as Kevin leaned in for the kiss, he screamed out 'Brother, no! Hell no! Uh Uh, Don't do that Will. Why would you do that?' "We had security calm him down and explain it was just a movie." Ironically what remains more of a cinematic taboo, even in these supposedly enlightened days, is the idea of a black actor kissing a white actress. The compromise appears to be, and the one that Hitch has settled for - if only to protect itself at the box office - is for the woman to come from another ethnic background. Eva Mendes, who plays the gossip columnist Hitch falls for, is Cuban American. "There's sort of an accepted myth that if you have two black actors, a male and a female, in the lead of a romantic comedy, that people around the world don't want to see it," admits Will. "We spend $50 something million making this movie and the studio would think that was tough on their investment. "So the idea of a black actor and a white actress comes up - that'll work around the world, but it's a problem in the US." Hitch has a pleasantly oldfashioned feel to it. Though there is plenty of passion, it is confined to kissing rather than bedroom acrobatics. Will confirms that he is comfortable with love scenes, if the script demands them, and so is his wife. "Jada's done love scenes, she understands that it is not what it looks like. She knows the director's behind you saying 'put your leg over her thigh', there are 50 people sitting around and a grip eating a hot dog. "The fact that everything with us is 100 per cent pure honesty makes it a lot easier." The pattern was set from the early days of their romance as, when they first got together, she was coming out of a bad relationship while Will had just divorced his first wife Sheree Smith (by whom he has a son, Trey). . "Normally in the beginning it's all flowers and butterflies in the stomach. We didn't have time for any of that b******t. "Everything that needed to go wrong went wrong very quickly. On our second date we went to this restaurant and the guy opens the door and goes 'Ah Mr Smith, Mrs Smith. Good to see you,' thinking Jada was my ex. Though he can't recall the chat-up line he used when they first met, he does remember how he persuaded her to spend the rest of her life with him. "We'd been on one or two dates then hadn't seen each other for a year. I'd just gotten divorced and I called her and said: "Hey Jada, this is Will." "Will who?" "Will Smith" "Hey, how are you doing?" "Are you seeing anybody right now?" "No" "Alright, cool. You're seeing me". "That was February 19, ten years ago," he adds, smiling. They married in 1997 and have two children, Jaden and Willow. His own dating days firmly behind him, Will is now in a position to offer son Trey, who is 13 this year, advice on how to handle first love. "I tell him you can't fall in love with every girl. You have to keep one as your friend because she will be the one who gives you the inside information." The worst advice Will was ever given came from a man Will refers to as his "ghetto co-ordinator" from his home town of Philadelphia - Charlie Mack. "He said 'what you wanna do is make 'em laugh and then you want 'em to see you knock somebody the f*** out. That's what I do. The whole night it's funny, funny, funny, then I'll go knock somebody the f*** out, because women need to feel safe when they are with you.' "And it seems to work for him. He's about six or eight inches taller than me, a really big guy, and it's the most horrible advice I ever heard, but women, when they see him knock somebody out, they're all 'Oh Charlie'. "I'm going 'what do you mean 'Oh Charlie?' He started that fight!'." Though Will certainly knows how to take care of himself since learning to fight like Mohammad Ali for his Oscar-nominated portrayal of the boxer, he admits he is a laugher not a fighter. "Comedy actually works better than muscles and cars and stuff like that. Because comedy is kinda sneaky. A woman wakes up and realises 'God, I really like him!' one day," he said. http://icbirmingham.icnetwork.co.uk/0100ne...-name_page.html *i thought this one was a bit funny :kekeke:...."Will who?" "Will Smith!"

(FOUND THIS ON GOOGLE) WHAT’S the recipe for a successful marriage, Will Smith-style? “My wife and I clearly understand that in order to love a woman you have to love women, you have to appreciate women in general,” says the Hollywood superstar, who visited Manchester yesterday for the premiere of his new film Hitch. (Check out our photogallery of the occasion.) In the romantic comedy, already a huge hit in the USA, he plays a “Date Doctor”, a man who, for a fee, will help almost any man woo the woman of his dreams. “Everything between my wife Jada and me is 100 per cent pure honesty,” he continues. “It makes it a lot easier that we remove all the uncertainly from our relationship. "When we first got together, I was coming out of a divorce and she was coming out of a bad relationship and there was no time for bull, you know. There was just blatant, hard, cold honesty and that’s the basis of our relationship. “I remember what I said to her when I told her that I wanted us to actually be together. We’d seen one another a couple of times on one or two dates but we hadn’t actually seen each other for a year. “Then I called her up in Baltimore right after my divorce had hit the press and said ‘hey look, are you seeing anybody right now?’ She said ‘no’ and I said ‘alright, cool, you’re seeing me’! “She said ‘oh, okay’ and I said ‘look, I’m on set, I’ve got to go’! That was February 19 ten years ago!” Obviously, that sort of silver-tongued stuff works then! Further attempts to press Smith on what some press reports have quaintly described as the “open marriage” enjoyed by him and Jada Pinkett-Smith elicit only the confusing response from him that: “Fidelity in a marriage is huge, you’ve got to have that or you have nothing. “Pure 100 per cent unadulterated honesty is the only way that you can truly be successful. But don’t believe everything that you read in a newspaper!” Hitch and just about every other romantic comedy suggests that everyone out there is just waiting to be swept off their feet by the love of their life, if they haven’t been already? Does Will believe that? “Absolutely, it’s the highest desire to which we all aspire,” he maintains. “We all want to be in love, to find that person who is going to love us no matter that our feet smell, no matter how angry we get one day, no matter that we say things we don’t mean, we want someone to love us in spite of all those things.” Since his brilliant film debut as the young, gay conman in the intimate drama Six Degrees of Separation, his roles have pretty much exclusively been in the big, blockbuster entertainment films of the world, the likes of Men In Black and Independence Day, where he plays the likeable good guy. “Well, the bad guy roles don’t really speak to me,” he admits. “Although I just saw The Woodsman (where Kevin Bacon plays a convicted paedophile who has to confront his own demons after he is released from prison) and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a role that was more brave, that was more disquieting for an audience. “I feel like I would have been able to make that role really scary. “I do think I’m good enough an actor to do it.” So do producers not offer him that sort of role, because they’re just not ‘Will Smith’ enough? “The offers do come through,” he says, surprisingly, “it’s just that I have been less than receptive, so I think it’s something that I need to open up to. “I don’t get annoyed that some in the industry still might think that a movie like this, Hitch, with a black male lead and a Hispanic female lead, can be successful, let alone the most popular film in the country right now back home. “You’ve got to study the way things are in order to have things happen the way that you want them to happen.” What then of the suggestions that he has long-term political ambitions? “No, politics is not for me,” he says dismissively. “I think that you can be much more effective in the private sector. When you have a constituency that you have to please, then you can’t listen to your heart.” And, finally, one sure-fire way to attract women? “The best thing that a guy can do if he wants women to be attracted to him is to get married,” he laughs. “It is amazing how a successful marriage is an aphrodisiac!” Hitch opens on March 11 *nice to see Will address the open marriage BS, even though most of us who are TRUE fans with common sense didn't believe the crap in the first place http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/entertai..._says_will.html

i was thinkin the same thing, b/c there is a such thing as taking it too far....i don't care how much chemistry you have with someone, the movie's over and Will's married, so i find it highly disrespectful on both their parts to his marriage b/c i'm sure if Jada had been kissing Tom and Jamie (on their mouths) during their Collateral promotions it would've been a big deal....they both need to get a grip..and not on each other...i have to say i didnt think anything of it @ first and i'm still waiting for him or jada to comment, if they will, but i feel like i've lost a little respect for him in that sense...whether he's playing or not b/c him and Eva both admitted that they're attracted to e/o....and the kisses on the mouth and touching don't sit well with me, and i don't think Eva is worth 10yrs. of a good relationship..............sorry if i've offened anybody but that's just how i feel
