WILL SMITH IS NOT GIVING UP ON HIS DAMAGED CAREER

Will Smith is looking to become the next celebrity who hosts a weekly podcast. After his now infamous Oscar slap, Will’s blossoming career took a major nose dive. But his successful Bad Boys opening cheered him up considerably. He is eager to stay in the game and feels a podcast will be the best way to win back public favor. He’s working out the details and hoping to land a deal for the rights to stream the podcast and be up and running by September.

Autobiography Book Books Jada Pinkett Smith Will Smith

WILL SMITH WILL HAVE THE LAST WORD

 

 

Seems like you couldn’t cruise the internet without seeing Jada Pinkett Smith EVERYWHERE, promoting her new book Worthy this week. And it IS full of bombshells about life with and without her husband Will. Although Will’s successful autobiography Will was just released in 2021, it was written BEFORE his infamous 2022 Oscar outburst where he punched Chris Rock. Looks like Jada’s success has inspired Will to write ANOTHER book – explaining the Oscar slap and his complicated life with Jada. He wants to clarify a lot of things with HIS side of the story about their separation etc. Will plans to announce it sometime next year because he wants Jada to have her moment. It’s the battle of the books…

Oscar Oscar Slap Will Smith

CAN WILL SMITH PART WITH HIS OSCAR?

Will Smith has been trying to come to find closure since the infamous 2022 Oscar slap heard around the world. After serious soul-searching and meditation,  he’s thinking about returning his Best Actor Academy Award. An insider revealed that the statue is a painful reminder of what SHOULD have been one of the best evenings of his life, but definitely wasn’t. He’s moved the award from a prominent shelf in his home to a less obvious place, but he still senses its presence and it‘s a constant reminder of the disastrous evening. Since he’s already banned from the Academy for 10 years, Will feels returning the statue and having it permanently housed at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles will be a win win. He won’t have to SEE the award and it will surely become a big attraction at the museum. To be clear, Will is NOT turning down the honor, so he will forever be known as an Academy Award winner for Best Actor,  he’s just thinking of giving back the statue.

Academy Awards Oscar Slap Will Smith

ONE LESS THING FOR WILL SMITH TO WORRY ABOUT

After last year’s Oscar Slap, Will Smith was banned from the Oscars for ten years. His people were quick to bring up the subject of his next movie Emancipation – what if Will were nominated for an Oscar for THAT? An awkward situation for the Oscars? Problem solved – Emancipation has not lived up to the hype- reviews have not been great and Rotten Tomatoes rated it “Rotten,” so it’s not likely that the film or Smith will even be nominated…

David Beckham Jada Pinkett Smith Katie Holmes School Scientology Tom Cruise Victoria Beckham

TOM CRUISE TURNED ON THE CHARM, BUT IT DIDN’T WORK

This 2007 happy photo of Tom Cruise with Katie Holmes, Victoria and David Beckham and Will and Jada Smith is very revealing. When Tom married the popular Katie, he gained access to celebrities that he wanted to convert to scientology. This group was seen at many events together. Tom was dead-set on recruiting David Beckham and even built to soccer field on scientology property to lure him, but it didn’t work, according to Mike Rinder in his new book. Tom DID influence Will and especially Jada, enough to open a scientology school for young kids in 2008. It was called the New Village Leadership Academy, and featured images of L Ron Hubbard on the walls, and scientology books and philosophies. The elementary school ran out of money in 2013 and closed. In 2015 Will cut ties with Tom Cruise.

Attitude Jada Pinkett Smith Oscar Slap Reputation Will Smith

WILL SMITH AND JADA REMAIN LOW ON POPULARITY POLL

Variety has just revealed what we already knew- that Will Smith’s career is “in a significant and precipitous decline.” What we didn’t expect is that Jada Pinkett Smith’s public image is also damaged. A company called Q Scores measures celebrity star power and appeal – they stated that Will was one of the top ten most positively rated actors BEFORE the Oscar slap (up there with Tom Hanks etc.) After the slap, Will handled the situation poorly: he made a vague and stiff apology via social media. His handlers realized that wasn’t enough, and pushed him to try and salvage his reputation with a sincere video. Smith’s self-righteous attitude in the video made it evident he was being forced to do it and couldn’t wait to get it over with, although he was saying the things his advisors told him to. He acted like he’s not sorry and never will be. The video was as oblivious to reality as his Oscar behavior. Through it all, Jada was silent and when she FINALLY made a comment, she acted like she was NOT involved and “hopes these two men can reconcile.” It didn’t help HER public image at all. Fans were left wondering if Will is NOT the decent guy they thought he was. The release of Will’s film Emancipation has been postponed until next year.

Apology Chris Rock Oscar Slap Will Smith

WILL SMITH’S “APOLOGY” WASN’T MEANT FOR CHRIS ROCK

If you thought Will Smith’s apology to Chris Rock for slapping him at the Oscars was stiff and insincere, you are not alone. There’s a noteworthy difference between saying “I apologize” and “I am sorry. ”

According to Google: There is a subtle difference between saying “I’m sorry” and “I apologize.” An apology is a formal admission of a wrongdoing. It may or may not be heartfelt — i.e., a person may apologize without feeling remorseful. On the other hand, saying “I am sorry” is usually seen as being a truer admission of regret.

Not only did Will offer a stiff “apology” but he made a subtle reference in his speech that implied that Rock’s innocuous joke about Jada’s bald head was meant as an insult – thus giving him a good reason to become violent. All in all, it seems Will Smith made that speech because he was pressured into it- NOT because thinks he was wrong. Will’s speech was actually just a PR move to get fans to forgive him.
Congrats to Chris Rock for not responding favorably!

Chris Rock Ego Death Tour Money Oscar Slap Will Smith

CHRIS ROCK STILL HAS THE LAST LAUGH

No need to worry about Chris Rock any more. After that famous Oscar Slap, demand for tickets for his Ego Death world tour skyrocketed, and the actual price of tickets did too. (Two thousand dollars for the best seats!) Best of all, the sellouts and added shows just keep going, and Chris is pulling in a LOT more money thanks to Will Smith. Not only that, but he’s getting an abundance of unexpected offers – including job offers to host both The Emmys AND The Oscars. So while Smith is hiding out at home, Chris is enjoying mucho success…

Oscars The Slap Tiffany Haddish Will Smith

TIFFANY HADDISH ROMANTICIZED THE SLAP

It’s a good thing Tiffany Haddish has this cute new blonde look because it takes people’s minds off her unfortunate remarks after The Slap. Tiffany was one of the FIRST people to talk about Will Smith’s Oscar behavior immediately after it happened, and her reaction to the situation was VERY different than most reasonable people. Tiffany swooned “It was a beautiful moment – – a Black man stood up for his wife! It meant so much to me to think there are still men out there who care about their women- that’s what a husband is supposed to do, right?” We really like Tiffany, but she was WRONG in every way. Can’t help but wonder if since then, Tiffany has changed her mind at all…
