  1. In the '90s, Tatyana Ali became famous as Will Smith's younger cousin on "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air."

    As Fresh as Ever

    The 28-year-old Harvard grad surfaced at The Diversity Awards in L.A. last week, looking almost exactly the same!

    This past summer, Tatyana starred on the reality series "On the Lot" and is getting ready to independently release her second album, "The Light."

  2. I Am Legend -- "We are seeing mutations. Cannibalistic hunger. Typical human behavior is now entirely absent." Other movies will garner the Oscar nominations this season, but this apocalyptic thriller, starring Will Smith, should rule the box office. Its "last man on Earth" storyline comes from a 1958 book, but you may recognize it from the 1971 film "Omega Man."

  3. "I Am Legend" On Screen, Family Guy At Home

    New York, Nov.19, 2007

    (CBS) Will Smith lights up the cover of the December issue of "Men's Vogue" with the honest expression that is a reflection of his down-to-earth personality, a rarity on the Hollywood scene.

    He also makes a frank admission that he's counting on the success of his latest film, "I Am Legend."

    "It's gonna be real scary if "I Am Legend" doesn't work, because I got everything I wanted [in a film]," Smith told the magazine.

    Smith's new film, due in theaters Dec. 14, is a post-apocalyptic thriller about the sole survivor of a man-made incurable outbreak that swarms New York City.

    While working in Hollywood, Smith has stayed grounded and under the celebrity radar, due to his solid marriage with actress Jada Pinkett Smith and, he says, his friendship with fellow actor Tom Cruise.

    "We push one another to be better…There's a comprehension of what each of us goes through that everybody else can't understand," Smith said. "I've studied Buddhism and Hinduism and I've studied Scientology through Tom. And nobody's saying anything different!...I don't think that because the word someone uses for 'spirit' is 'thetan' that the definition becomes any different."

    Smith admits that it's not easy to maintain a happy marriage in Hollywood, and that you have to invest all you've got into making it work. "Counseling, individual learning, books, conflict resolution," Smith confided. "It is a full time job to try and be happy. People tend to think that they can go to work for 50 or 60 hours a week and then come home and their relationship is just supposed to work."

    The couple wed in November of 1997, when Smith was 29 and Pinkett Smith was 26.

    He is not much of a figure on the party circuit. "Will literally takes three sips and he's buzzed," says his "Hitch" co-star Eva Mendes. "It's not even like three sips of whiskey; it's literally a piña colada or a daiquiri--he loves girly drinks--and he's down."

    Other Hollywood stars have taken notice of Smith's one-of-a-kind demeanor.

    "I don't say this kind of stuff about people, but he's godly," says Smith's "John Hancock" co-star, Charlize Theron.

  4. Someone made a question and you said he should be banned for asking that, and you also said those things don't happen on jjfp.com. We told you everyone has the right to ask what he/she wants but it seems like you still don't understand it. That's your best way to help the site? Please. That guy wasn't insulting WS, he was just ASKING. And the decision of leaving the site was yours, and only yours.

  5. Will Smith is a caped (Tom) Cruise aider

    Sunday, November 18th 2007, 4:00 AM

    Will Smith stands up for his buddy Tom Cruise - and Scientology - in next month's issue of Men's Vogue.

    "We push one another to be better," Smith says of Cruise.

    "There's a comprehension of what each of us goes through that everybody else can't understand.

    "I've studied Buddhism and Hinduism, and I've studied Scientology through Tom. And nobody's saying anything different! ... I don't think that because the word someone uses for 'spirit' is 'thetan' that the definition becomes any different."

    The magazine also reports that the actor's not exactly a he-man boozer.

    "Will literally takes three sips and he's buzzed," says his "Hitch" co-star Eva Mendes. "It's not even like three sips of whiskey; it's literally a piña colada or a daiquiri - he loves girly drinks - and he's down."

    Smith's new movie, "I Am Legend," opens next month.

  6. Jason Bateman talking about Will

    Q: Anything you can say about Will Smith and "Hancock"?

    A: He plays a suicidal, alcoholic superhero who saves my life and to reciprocate I tell him I'm going to help him with his public image.

    So I'm trying to rehabilitate him and then he starts to fall in love with my wife, played by Charlize Theron.

    I would put Will in the same category as Dustin and Natalie as far as being the kind of person you dream about being the star of your film. Not only does he have the talent, he's an incredible leader. He's incredibly professional without being a stiff. He's incredibly kind and affable without being insincere or phony.

    On the first day of shooting he had these two huge motorhomes on the set for Charlize and me to use as our dressing rooms with huge ribbons tied around them. . . . I'd negotiated for a trailer and he picked up the difference.

    I was going to be one of those guys waiting in line for the iPhone. I had my little folding chair and my sack lunch and then the production office called a rehearsal for the day.

    So when I got to the rehearsal, they said, 'Sorry, hope you didn't have any plans,' and I said, 'No, I was just going to be one of those losers down there in line for an iPhone.' Will picks up the phone right there in front of me, dials some secret number and says, 'Get me three iPhones.' There was an iPhone on my doorstep when I got home from rehearsal.

    Alfonso Ribeiro was leaving Hyde last night, when a fan asked to take a picture with him. Watch the fan's reaction to Alfonso's strange response! No, it wasn't the Carlton dance!

    As Alfonso finally got into his car, the annoyed fan yelled, "You're not Will Smith!" What gave that away?

    Video!

  8. Reshoots on I Am Legend?

    Source: CHUD.com

    November 15, 2007

    Next to Frank Darabont's The Mist, Warner Bros.' upcoming I Am Legend adaptation could have boasted one of the second bleakest finales in horror this year. Could have. Word through the grapevine is that director Francis Lawrence strayed from Richard Matheson's source material (big surprise) - for what, we're not sure.

    CHUD's Devin Feraci has confirmed that reshoots on "Legend" wrapped as late as last week...less than a month before the film is shown to us press fiends. Sources tell Feraci that the ending was re-shot, one more thing to add to the grocery list of problems we've heard this film has faced over the last year.

    There have been rumors of multiple FX houses being hired and dumped to the point where one crew shirt listed all of the teams involved on back like some concert city listing. Except some names were crossed off to mark fallen comrades whose work went unused or abandoned.

  9. I AM RESHOOTS
    11.15.07
    By Devin Faraci

    Just the other day I got the invite for the I Am Legend junket here in Los Angeles at the end of the month. They'll be showing us the film, obviously, but it sounds like they're going to have to go double time in the editing room to get it finished: I have confirmed that there were reshoots on the movie as late as last week.

    What's not confirmed is what has been reshot. My source tells me that the ending was redone, as the studio wasn't happy with the finale that director Francis Lawrence had. Since I know that Lawrence's ending was already unfaithful to Richard Matheson's original story, I can only imagine that the new ending is more action packed and even more upbeat than before.

    This is the kind of thing that makes me look forward to the eventual book about the making of the film or Lawrence's life; we won't get the full story as to why the ending had to be changed or why it had to be changed so late in the game during the upcoming press deluge for the film, and nobody will go on the record with the truth for a good long time.

    You know how in comic-book team-up stories, the good guys always get in a big fight as a result of some misunderstanding but then realize that they need to band together to stop some crazy villain? It turns out that in the clash between the Writers Guild and the major studios, the villains may actually be Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, and every other enormous star capable of commanding revenue-draining participation deals. According to a report by Global Media Intelligence and Merrill Lynch, the executives at the major studios may be speaking some truth when they insist that there's not much money left to share with the striking screenwriters. In fact, given just how much money ends up lining the pockets of A-list stars even when their films tank at the box office, we should all be grateful that there's any cash left in circulation at all. —Matthew Perpetua
