Denzel and Will to remake 'Uptown Saturday Night?'


Denzel Washington and Will Smith are reportedly in discussions to remake the 1974 film "Uptown Saturday Night," which starred Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby as two friends who sneak out of their homes to visit a legendary - yet illegal - nightclub.

When the place is inevitably held up and their wallets are stolen, the duo must recover a winning lottery ticket that was sitting in Cosby's wallet.

Humor Mill Magazine is reporting that Will Smith bought the rights to the film in 2002 and has been trying to remake it ever since. Eddie Murphy was approached early on, but a deal with the superstar was never worked out. Denzel apparantly has now expressed interest in the "Uptown" remake and in starring alongside with Smith.

Will Smith's daughter got Rihanna's haircut


Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's daughter Willow sported a Rihanna-inspired haircut Friday at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Norway. 9-year-old Willow appeared at the concert to introduce Chines pianist Lang Lang in Mandarin. If you are wondering what the Smith's were doing at the concert, you are not alone. I am supposing the trip was their reward for being such staunch supporters of the Obamas during last year's campaign. Now, Willow and her brother Jaden have appeared in a handful of movies, usually with their father Will, but sometimes alone. What do you all think: is it wrong for them to put their children out there like that?

Tyson wants to run penis up in the POTUS



On Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" Andy Cohen asked Tyson Beckford if he had to spend the night with a man who would it be? “Well, I don’t actually go that way,” Tyson says, “but I notice a lot of people think I do.” But if I’ma do it, I’m going for Obama. If I got with him, I could run the country. If I was that way, yeah, Obama.” Cohen goads him on, “You would give it to Obama?” Tyson replies, “Yeah, I’d be the one in control…Who you gonna go for? Will Smith? Somebody pretty like that?”

Um, yeah. I doubt very much Mr. President has time for extra-curdickular activities let alone with Mr. Makemeasupermodel.

Shinehead Willy


It's much easier for Will Smith to put his producers cap on in China as Will and Jada accompany their son Jaden to Bejing to shoot the remake of the Karate Kid, now entitled the Kung Fu Kid. The movie costars Taraji P. Henson as Jaden’s mom and Jackie Chan as whoever the Chinese dude was.

Is Will Smith murking careers like Papa Shady?


Janet Hubert, who played the original Aunt Viv on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, criticizes Will Smith's business practices in her new book Perfection Is Not A Sitcom Mom. According to Hubert, Will didn't want anyone to shine on the show but him and actively maneuvered to keep other actors from getting paid or featured ont he show.

"Smith had people around him who made sure no one outshone him. I was happy to see Don Cheadle become the quality actor that he is, and often wondered how he made it past one episode, as Hilary's boyfriend, being such a fierce actor. No one could be on 'The Tonight Show,' that first season, except Will. And I mean no one."

To be fair, let's let Will defend himself. He has previously addressed Hubert's statements claiming she was a bitter diva who wanted to hog the spotlight for herself

"I can say straight up that Janet Hubert wanted the show to be 'The Aunt Viv of Bel-Air Show" because I know she is going to dog me in the press ... She has basically gone from a quarter of a million dollars a year to nothing. She's mad now but she's been mad all along. She said once, 'I've been in the business for 10 years and this snotty-nosed punk comes along and gets a show.' No matter what, to her I'm just the Anti-Christ."

Will and Jada get it in


Jada Pinkett Smith (who just happens to have a new show premiering on TNT) reveals in the latest edition of Redbook how she and husband Will Smith have kept the home fires burning for so long.

"Be sneaky... your girlfriend's house at a party. The bathroom. A bedroom...Pull over on the side of the road... Think of places outside that are comfortable to have sex."


Now spontaneity and a bit of kink should be in everyone's repertoire, but I wish they would leave assprints on my bathroom counter and tie up the bathroom at my party. Just nasty!

While Jada's comments may prove shocking for readers of Redbook, even she had sense enough not to repeat what Will told to Britain's tabloid Now magazine:

"I'll tell my wife if I need to have sex with someone else."Our perspective is, you don’t avoid what’s natural and you’re going to be attracted to people,’ Will explains...‘So sometimes we have the discussion: “Wow, this or that girl is freaking gorgeous”. I’m not going to say anything to my buddies that’s any different than what I say to my wife.’


Even he had the sense not to address the rumors of...

So, open marriage is the 'in' thing in Hollywood now?
