JADA PINKETT: “THERE’S A TIME FOR HEALING AND I’M HERE FOR IT”

Just as we predicted, Jada Pinkett is NOT taking sides on the Will Smith debacle. She has obviously been warned by her “people” that she can’t win- whether she backs up her husband or apologizes for him- people will criticize her. We had hoped that Jada was too independent to hold back her real feelings, but her “diplomatic” and absurdly vague statement posted on Instagram has succeeded in saying absolutely NOTHING. THIS is the best she can do?

JADA PINKETT DOESN’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT

What we REALLY want to know is how did Jada Pinkett feel about her husband Will’s behavior at the Oscars! She has kept conspicuously quiet about the issue. Do you suppose she felt GRATEFUL that Will “chivalrously” defended her against Chris Rock’s remarks? Keep in mind, being compared to Demi Moore in G.I.Jane is HARDLY an insult. Certainly Will violently overreacted, but did Jada secretly appreciate it? Or was she appalled and HUMILIATED? Jada happened to look fabulous on Oscar night and Will’s behavior pulled attention away from her and everyone else. We’ve heard about their marriage problems – will this help or hurt their relationship? Jada will be criticized either way – whether she supports Will’s behavior or condones it – so we think she will NOT comment. Meanwhile, we don’t think Chris Rock did anything wrong and he carried on like a trouper. We also think Will’s “people” forced him to make that apology today to avoid getting kicked out of the Academy.

WILL AND JADA TURNED UP FOR THE NAACP AWARDS IN THEIR OSCAR FINERY

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett went ALL OUT for the NAACP Image Awards in Pasadena this year. Since they boycotted the Oscars, we’re guessing the power couple wore their Oscar outfits and consequently out-dressed everyone else. Too bad the event wasn’t televised live. Jada’s gown is extravagant and beautiful. They were the toast of the evening, but Will still didn’t win – Michael B Jordan took home the award for best male performance for Creed. And rightly so, Will’s movie Concussion simply wasn’t as good.

WILL SMITH AND JADA PINKETT: LEADING SEPARATE LIVES?

According to the Enquirer, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett are on the verge of breaking up (“they’re headed for a $300 million divorce”) and they’re living in separate houses. Will HAS been a little put off by Jada’s obsessive desire to have a career as successful as his, whether it’s in movies or music. Scientology certainly won’t keep them together – the cult doesn’t mind when members divorce because usually both the husband and wife go on to recruit new members for the church. A spy reported to us that Will partied at Soho House Friday night with a bunch of buddies and it was definitely a “boys night out.” The guys had numerous bottles on the table and got louder and rowdier as the night went on. Jada was nowhere to be seen.

PAUL HAGGIS TELLS WHY HE BECAME FREAKED OUT BY SCIENTOLOGY

We’re always happy when another negative Scientology story is printed and this time director Paul Haggis, (“Million Dollar Baby” and “Crash”) who left the cult, spilled the beans to New Yorker magazine. He covered a lot of familiar territory and pointed out that the Scientology schools (like the one Will and Jada Smith started) give limited and highly questionable educations and emphasized that most high ranking Scientologists are school drop-outs. (When Haggis’s daughter left Scientology school at 11 to attend a regular school she was surprised to find out she was “illiterate.”) Besides all the usual weirdness, the article also says the FBI is investigating the cult for “human trafficking abuses.” Good. Now what we need is the IRS to force this cult to pay taxes. If it means ALL religions must be taxed- so be it! One more thing – Haggis says “These people have long memories” and he bets that within 2 years we’ll be reading a scandal about him that seems to have nothing to do with the church.

WILLOW SMITH: IS THAT A JUSTIN BIEBER WIG?

Willow Smith continues to grow up faster than any other kid in show business. Now the nine year old is following in Cher’s footsteps and flaunting a wig! And it’s a Justin Bieber inspired hairpiece, at that! Willow was photographed with Katy Perry at the Z100 Jingle Ball in New York. How DOES this child find time for homework?

IS WILLOW SMITH PLAYING HOOKEY FROM SCIENTOLOGY SCHOOL?

Don’t they take attendance at Scientology school? It seems like Willow Smith, 9, has been around the world more than once in the last month and she hasn’t been seen twice in the same outfit. Right now she’s taking in the sights at Milan’s Fashion Week. Note she is sitting in the very exclusive FRONT ROW at the Dolce & Gabbana show and fraternizing with the likes of Naomi Campbell and her Russian billionaire Vladimir Doronin. What about math class?

WILLOW SMITH IS NINE AND HAS A RECORD CONTRACT WITH JAY-Z

Willow Smith, 9, is not about to let her brother Jaden be the only kid STAR in the family. (Jaden is currently riding high on his “Karate Kid” success.) Having famous parents like Will and Jada Smith has certainly given their kids an edge. Ambitious Willow got herself a Rihanna haircut and now she’s scored a record deal with Jay-Z and a new single. We found her song “Whip My Hair” to be repetitious and annoying, but you can form your own opinion. CLICK HERE to listen.

CAN WILL SMITH FILL MARLON BRANDO’S TORN UNDERSHIRT?

Broadway is becoming a magnet for Hollywood movie stars and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett are thrilled that the show they co-produced, “Fela!,” is a huge hit. Now, according to Michael Riedel in the NY Post, they’ve been approached to costar onstage as the common but passionate Stanley and Stella Kowalski in “A Streetcar Named Desire.” It’s not easy to picture Will as brutal Stanley, in a sweaty wife-beater bellowing for his wife, but he’s surprised us before. The hard part might be casting Stella’s delicately balanced sister Blanche DubBois.
