Boite A Questions - Will & Charlize http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=-h_iY4TedDk&hl=es :lolsign:

By Lacey Rose, Forbes.com Tinseltown's leading ladies may generate more tabloid ink, but when it comes to blockbuster paychecks, Hollywood is still a man's town. In an era where risk-averse studio executives have declared men the more reliable movie stars — and the more desirable moviegoers — perhaps it's no surprise that they are also the medium's top earners. The reality: Hollywood's 10 best-paid actors out-earned Hollywood's 10 best-paid actresses 2-to-1 over the course of the year. Collectively, the big screen's leading men took home an estimated $487 million this year, compared with the leading ladies' haul of $244.5 million. Will Smith leads the pack of Hollywood's best-paid actors, banking an estimated $80 million over the course of the year. Frequently called the hardest-working man in Hollywood, Smith has proved that no matter the genre — be it sci-fi thriller (Warner Bros.' I Am Legend) or sappy drama (Sony's The Pursuit of Happyness) — he can deliver an audience. The former Fresh Prince of Bel Air star also set a theatrical record this year. Thanks to the commercial success of this summer's anti-superhero flick Hancock, Smith is the first actor in Hollywood history to have eight straight movies eclipse $100 million at the box office. Coming in second on the list is Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp, an actor who is known to vacillate between commercial work and artier fare. He still managed to pull down $72 million this year. In this case, the bold-faced star followed up his three turns as Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney's $2.76 billion Pirates franchise with the Stephen Sondheim serial-killer musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Flat Street. Though the latter hardly set box office records, it did earn Depp an Oscar nomination. With $55 million, Eddie Murphy comes in third among Tinseltown's top earners, thanks to a slew of family-friendly hits. The long-reigning master of disguise continues to prove his range on-screen, playing notable roles in everything from animated flicks (DreamWorks' Shrek) to goofball comedies (DreamWorks' Norbit) to musical remakes (DreamWorks' Dreamgirls). The latter earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Then there's Austin Powers star Mike Myers, who is tied for third on this list with earnings of $55 million, due in large part to the success of the hit animated franchise Shrek. But when it comes to live-action fare, the comedy chameleon's ride has been far less smooth in recent years. Despite a stellar cast (including Justin Timberlake and Jessica Alba) and plenty of promotion, Myers' summer comedy The Love Guru failed to deliver at the box office. To date, the Paramount flick has generated only $31.8 million domestically. Titanic's Leonardo DiCaprio rounds out the top five, raking in $45 million during the year. He's the unique movie star who can get $20 million for work in R-rated adult dramas, which, because of viewer age restrictions, have limited ability to generate big box office numbers. Though his flicks are rarely blockbusters, DiCaprio's work can create a sizable amount of Academy Award season buzz. In fact, three of his last five flicks —Gangs of New York, The Aviator and Departed— were nominated for Best Picture. The latter took home the Oscar. © 2008 Forbes.com LLC. All Rights Reserved.

6:01pm UK, Tuesday July 22, 2008 Batman star Christian Bale has left a London police station after being questioned over claims he assaulted his mother and sister. His arrest comes just a day after the British actor attended the premiere of his new film, The Dark Knight, in London. Bale, 34, is alleged to have lashed out at the two family members in his suite at Park Lane's Dorchester Hotel on Sunday. The star, who plays the Caped Crusader, was quizzed by detectives at a central London police station. The two women, who live in Dorset, went to a Hampshire police station yesterday to make a formal allegation. The complaint about the actor was then passed to the Metropolitan Police for further investigation. A police spokeswoman said: "A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning by appointment. "He was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault." Bale had joined Batman co-stars Sir Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart at the Odeon West End cinema in Leicester Square last night. Sky's showbiz correspondent Steve Hargrave interviewed Bale at a London hotel yesterday and later at the premiere. He said there was nothing in his demeanour to suggest he had been involved in an alleged family row. Hargrave said: "He (Bale) wasn't the most overtly cheery but he wasn't particularly rude to me when I sat down in the Dorchester to interview him. "Maybe he sounded a bit abrupt on some answers." The Dark Knight, which also stars the late Heath Ledger as The Joker, broke box office records when it opened in the US at the weekend. The 28-year-old, who is tipped for a posthumous Oscar, died from an accidental drugs overdose in January. Bale, a keen environmental activist and martial arts enthusiast, has also starred in American Psycho, Empire Of The Sun and Batman Begins. http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Showbiz-N...527assault%2527

'In Living Color' is legendary I can't wait to see his next movie called "Yes Man". He's back with comedy again!

Nice article. Good to see Skillz defending Will. I dislike Eminem each day more, I dunno how people can admire such an arrogant guy like him. And I won't even waste my time talking about Bow Wow.

He has made pretty good movies: 'The Mask' (very entertaining), 'Dumb & Dumber" (my favourite), 'The Cable Guy' (very underrated), 'The Truman Show' (probably his best movie so far), 'Bruce Almighty' and 'The Number 23', just to name a few. I didn't like 'Ace Ventura' and its sequel so much though. But as a comedian, he's just awesome. There is no other like him. U rock Jim!!! :wickedwisdom:

Love him. I'm a big Jim Carrey fan! Some classic videos of him: Jim Carrey: What is love? Jim Carrey: Buffed Beautiful and Bitchin' Jim Carrey: Somebody to love (Cable Guy) He'll always be my favourite comedian!! :hail:

, and a worse storyline. To make it more "Big Willie", hollywood blockbuser comedy/action. Couldn't agree more with this :thumbsup:

The 'Tonight, He Comes' script was great in my opinion.

Yes he has: Ali. 'Training Day' was a great movie but Will's performance deserved that Oscar. Congratulations! We're still waiting for your reply in this thread dedicated to you tho' :lolsign: http://www.jazzyjefffreshprince.com/forum/...showtopic=12351

IMDb: Metacritic: Rotten Tomatoes: Awesome...

Quick question for those who have seen the movie: "Is 'TDK' a masterpiece?"

Saw the movie yesterday. Will's worst movie since Men In Black II, which means I, Robot is even better IMO. I'm not saying Hancock sucks. It's just that the way they wanted to tell us the story is disappointing. Funny and entertaining, of course, but disappointing. Apart from that, I'm sure it could have been a lot better if they hadn't tried to get the PG-13 rating. What could have been a great movie is just a good movie in its first half and a very bad movie in its second half. I know many people will disagree but it's what I think. Will's performance is outstanding. If it wasn't for him, this movie would be nothing. He's an actor so talented that has the ability to make people laugh and cry . Performances like this are the reason why he is the biggest star in the world.

Video: Catch 21 - Alfonso Ribeiro http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=85pl1_49Kyc&hl=es

moviehole.net says this is not true... http://www.jazzyjefffreshprince.com/forum/...showtopic=12391

Roger Friedman mentioned today that “[Tom] Cruise is probably not going to be playing the role of Edwin A. Salt, a fictional CIA officer who is outed as a spy” in Phil Noyce’s “Edwin A. Salt”. Says the author, it’s over money. “Apparently, Tom is unaware of the change in his status in the Hollywood community. Where once he was the top-paid star, Cruise now is in a position where a $20 million salary is not possible. I’m told an internal memo went around among the film’s producers and top creators in which the Cruise situation was discussed and names were gathered for a replacement.” Friedman adds that Will Smith will likely replace Cruise. Thing is, this isn’t true. We can confirm that this isn’t true - none of it. High-ranking contacts within the production tell us - and we quote - “The studio, producers,director and potential star (Cruise) are all waiting on a rewrite of the script from Kurt Wimmer,which is due in a few weeks. Will Smith has not been approached to star. Cruise is the only actor who has been approached.” Cruise is still very much set for “Edwin A. Salt”. http://www.moviehole.net/2008/07/18/cruise...rumours-untrue/

The ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ star dishes on his new game show and the ghost of Carlton Banks By Charreah Jackson Starring alongside Will Smith, Alfonso Ribeiro somehow made it cool to be the uncoolest man in the room on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” Child stars should take notes from the actor, singer, dancer and game-show host who continues to stay relevant. At age 12, Ribeiro moonwalked his way to a plum role alongside Michael Jackson in a 1983 Pepsi commercial, battling the King of Pop with Jackson’s own dance moves, and he has never looked back. Now 36, the performer has continued to be a small screen favorite. Perhaps you remember him as the thorn in LL Cool J’s side on “In the House,” or that he was the winner of FOX’s “Celebrity Duets” in 2006. The New York native’s latest gig is host of GSN’s (Game Show Network) new “Catch 21,” which premieres July 21. Ribeiro chatted with ESSENCE.COM about his new show, his first impression of Michael Jackson, upcoming projects with Will Smith, and how playing Carlton Banks was a blessing and a curse. ESSENCE.COM: Congrats on your new game show, ‘Catch 21,’ which you host. How has the experience been? ALFONSO RIBEIRO: The show is a lot of fun, combining the popularity of game shows with pop trivia. I think right now I’ve become a personality and not just an actor. I do feel like one of the luckiest people in the world to be able to do what you want to do, and make a living, and I work hard. I’m hoping that people fall in love with “Catch 21” and that the show continues for many years. ESSENCE.COM: It’s great to see your career has continued to blossom after such a huge success with “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.’ Is it hard to move on from the role of Carlton Banks in your career? I’m sure people still ask you to do the dance (laughs). RIBEIRO: (Laughs) It is what it is. We had an opportunity to make six seasons of great shows that I think were wonderful. I just know that, when I go out at some point, I’m going to be asked to do that dance and I have to live with it. It’s very funny, because in the script, it just said Carlton dances. So in rehearsal I was on stage thinking, ‘Okay, how will Carlton dance? What will be the dance that he would do?’ I stole that dance. It wasn’t an original. ESSENCE.COM: Unfortunately, with such a signature role, a lot of actors sometimes get typecast. Did you experience that with Carlton after the show? RIBEIRO: Of course. There’s no question that I’ve been stereotyped, but that meant I did something well enough for people to want to see more of it. It’s a compliment while it’s detrimental to your career. But I only do things that I want to do, and I did “In the House,” which was very similar to Carlton, and then I felt like I had exhausted that role. So there was no reason for me to continue to put new names on the same character. ESSENCE.COM: After working so closely with Will Smith, how has your relationship been after the show? RIBEIRO: Will has been so incredible and just so gracious with me after the show. Right now I’m in the process of creating a show with his company, which would be very different from any of the things that I’ve played before. Will gave me an opportunity to direct for “All of Us.” We still hang out, go on vacation, and have a great time together. The one thing that is clear is that he’s probably the hardest working person I’ve ever met. So he is not the biggest star in the world because things just happened that way, he’s the biggest star in the world because he worked very hard to achieve that and he deserves all he has achieved. ESSENCE.COM: You lived every 80s baby’s dream—to work with Michael Jackson. How did you end up in that famous 1983 Pepsi commercial? RIBEIRO: It was like a dream come true for a young performer. As a 12-year-old kid, I was a huge fan of Michael. Michael’s choreographer was directing a commercial I was in and saw me playing around on the set doing the dance and they gave me that opportunity. I met Michael in rehearsal. It was really cool to work with him. My dad and I hung out with him many times after that, but that was the first time I met him. ESSENCE.COM: Wow! Handpicked to dance with Michael Jackson… RIBEIRO: I’m certainly not a professional. I’m one of those people who, if I look at someone doing it, I can mimic it really well, which is what I did with Michael. I actually couldn’t do “Dancing with the Stars” because they said I have so much experience, which I really don’t because I never trained professionally. It’s just very interesting to me that I’m almost known for being a dancer and I was never a real dancer. ESSENCE.COM: What have you learned from your career? RIBEIRO: To never judge a book by its cover and don’t look back, look forward. Then find something that you want to do and spend your life doing it. ESSENCE.COM: What is the craziest rumor you’ve ever heard about yourself? RIBEIRO: I think the craziest rumor was that I broke my neck doing a head spin back in 1984. As I’m walking down the street in New York, some guy walked up to me and goes, “Hey man! What are you doing alive? You’re supposed to be dead.” So that was a little crazy. ESSENCE.COM: You won “Celebrity Duets” in 2006 and sang on “Fresh Prince.” Have you considered singing professionally? RIBEIRO: The biggest problem with music today is that there are not a lot of great singers. It’s really about an image, a look and a style, and not one that I really match up with. You look at these guys like Mario or Chris Brown—that’s not the audience that I’m going to have based on my past career. It’s not really what I see myself doing. I love singing and I love getting up on stage. I would rather do more of the classical Sammy Davis, Jr., stuff. I would maybe want to go and do Vegas. ESSENCE.COM: And what do you hope the Alfonso Ribeiro legacy will be? RIBEIRO: My legacy is a huge question mark because I don’t really care what other people think of me. I do this because I love to do it, and trust me, I have been offered a lot of work over the last five years that I have turned down. I really feel like it’s important to do good work because it’s for me. http://www.essence.com/essence/themix/ente...1823808,00.html
