Apparently the reporter often kisses celebrities, but Will was not feeling it.

After Will slaps the guy, Will says, “He’s lucky I didn’t sucker punch him.”

A source on scene tells TMZ, the reporter’s mouth brushed up against Will’s and that’s why the actor reacted so violently. Despite the incident, Will continued doing red carpet interviews.

Jay-Z & Will Smith Support President Obama’s Stance On Gay Marriage, Who Else Will?

Will Smith told reporters in Berlin on Monday that “if anybody can find someone to love them and to help them through this difficult thing that we call life, I support that in any shape or form.” Smith thinks that President Obama’s stance on gay marriage is “brave” during this election year.

Jay-Z is also in support of our POTUS. In an interview with CNN, Jay-Z explained that supporting gay marriage was “the right thing to do” and that it’s something that holds our country back. “What people do in their own homes is their business and you can choose to love whoever you love. That’s their business. It’s no different than discriminating against blacks. It’s discrimination plain and simple.” Jay-Z also dug into the root of the same sex marriage issue. It’s not about votes for Obama, it’s about the people.

It’s the people that you’d think would support Obama the most (aka the black people that voted him in office in 2008) that are seemingly turning their backs on him–well maybe not the entire way. Black pastors at various churches around the U.S. are conflicted about their support of President Obama since his decision to support gay marriage. Certainly Obama knew there would be backlash attached to his support, so I definitely appreciate how gangsta Obama was in supporting gay marriage, even though there would be some push back from his supporters. This just goes to show that no matter what the issue is and if Obama believes in it, he will stand for it. There’s something to be said about a President that believes in something–anything other than what the majority expects of him.

I wonder which superstar is going to be next in line to support President Obama’s decision to stand behind gay marriage? I also wonder when will churches start acting like Christians–you know–all accepting, all loving? Let’s discuss on Twitter @Rhapsodani.

Denzel Washington stepped into Frank Sinatra’s shoes with 2004’s The Manchurian Candidate, and even Will Smith took a stab at it with the reboot of I Am Legend (inspired by the 1971 Charlton Heston starrer, The Omega Man). Both actors have been known to break the color barrier when it comes to casting, but before recently many women haven’t been able to accomplish the same.

Will Smith in “I Am Legend”

That is, until 2008 when we saw TV veteran Debbie Allen direct her Tony award-winning big sister, fellow small screen legend Phylicia Rashad, in the role of Big Mama in the first all-black production of Tennessee Williams’ classic play, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.  The revival—which also starred Anika Noni Rose, James Earl Jones and Terrence Howard—earned rave reviews and helped usher in a new wave of black talent to the stage. It also challenged the narrow perceptions of black characters by mainstream audiences.

And it didn’t stop there. Just last month, another one of Williams’ plays, A Streetcar Named Desire, added some color to the Broadway stage. Soul Food alum Nicole Ari Parker stepped into the role of Blanche, previously played by Vivien Leigh. She joined Blair Underwood as Stanley (formerly portrayed by Marlon Brando), with Broadway newcomer Wood Harris as Mitch and Tony nominee Daphne Rubin-Vega (Rent) as Underwood’s leading lady, Stella. Although none of them earned Tony nominations, despite being critically acclaimed, each performance has spellbound audiences since the show debuted on April 22^nd.

So when news broke out that the once colorless drama Steel Magnolias was getting an all-black remake, even fans of the original 1989 movie got excited. Then came the incredible cast announcement: Queen Latifah will executive produce the film for Lifetime television, and star in it along with Alfre Woodard, Jill Scott, Adepero Oduye (Pariah), Rashad and her newly minted Tony-nominated daughter, Condola (Stick Fly). The all-black female cast, originally led by Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Dolly Parton, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis, and Julia Roberts, respectively, is set to dazzle audiences in the film that will reportedly air later this year.

Expect to see more stories like these getting the black treatment. With the success of the aforementioned productions, and expected praise for Steel Magnolias, this trend may prove to be one of the ways black actors can find diversified roles that will further spotlight their talent.

These two lovebirds inspire one another to continue reaching for excellence, so much so that it is instilled in their children. The Smiths breed and maintain such a high level of success that love has no option but to thrive within them. It should be crystal clear why they have what it takes to make it last forever.

Why She Loves Him: In an acceptance speech at an Essence luncheon, Jada gushed over her superhero of a man who stood right by her side as she praised him. She said, “This man right here, holds it down–not just for me, for all of us. In just how he represents who we are in the world, internationally. It’s about expanding the limitations people try to put on all of us.” Jada loves Will because he’s, in a word, amazing.

Why He Loves Her: Will loves his wife because she’s someone that he has no doubt that he can count on. Will was asked about Jada’s essence on the red carpet of an Essence luncheon Jada was being honored at and he smiled and said, “The essence of Jada is commitment, as a central quality. She just will not break her word. That level of integrity that she possesses–you can bet on Jada. You can put your heart, your life, your dream and your wishes and hang them on Jada and know she’s not going to drop them.”

Why They Work: Any marriage is all about keeping the spark you felt when you first started dating and making sure your spouse puts forth the effort to keep you in love. In an appearance on “The View,” Jada explained, “You have to keep it spontaneous. That’s the trick to it. You’ve got to keep surprises.” Surprises come in many forms. Jada explained during a press junket in 2004, “You have to be willing to move around–to move your romance around. Kitchen, closet, park, parked car,” and we know exactly what she means. *wink wink* The dream couple also keeps divorce out of their vocabulary. Will told Ellen, “Divorce just can’t be an option.”

Why We Love Them: When you look at the Smiths, you see an effervescence that only comes from peace within. It’s not a difficult task to achieve, but it does take work. Jada made it simple when she told George Lopez, “We enjoy life, people and what we do.” That’s the key to a fulfilling live in one sentence.

Is Will & Jada’s Divorce Back On?

Jada has allegedly met with high-powered attorney Laura Wasser, who has handled a number of high-profile celebrity divorces including those of Britney Spears and Ryan Reynolds, and “has finally begun to take steps to dissolve their marriage,” In Touch (via HollywoodLife.com) is reporting.

Rumors that the couple’s marriage was in trouble began in August. The couple then released a statement denying the divorce rumors. The two, who have been married since 1997, have two children together.

And to make matters worse, a second source says Jada turned down a major role in a Keanu Reeves -directed movie because she wanted to be with her kids — Jaden, 13, and Willow, 11 – during this “difficult time.”

No official statement has been released.

The cast of Fresh Prince recently had a reunion, but Janet had no interest in participating, That’s because she thinks Will is a first-class douche nozzle.

“There will never be a reunion … as I will never do anything with an asshole like Will Smith,” she told TMZ.

In the past, Hubert has admitted that she believes Will is the reason she was fired from the show. She claims that Smith never wanted with more talent to overshadow him on the show. Guest stars could possibly steal scenes was promptly let go. As for Hubert, she wasn’t squeezed out because she wouldn’t kiss Will’s ass.

However, Will told an Atlanta radio show that Janet was a bitch, and her foul attitude was what ultimately ended her run as Aunt Viv.

According to Will, Hubert once said, “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 AntiChrist.”

After thrilling audiences on three continents, the hit musical FELA! will be presented in Washington, DC’s Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Sidney Harman Hall (610 F Street, NW), kicking off a National tour. Presented by Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, and Ruth and Stephen Hendel, in association with The National Theatre production, FELA! is directed and choreographed by Tony Award® winner Bill T. Jones.

Tony Award® nominee Sahr Ngaujah returns to star as Fela, the role he originated in the Broadway production. The rest of the cast is comprised of the best of Broadway and London’s Royal National Theatre companies. FELA! will run from September 13 – October 9, 2011, at STC’s Sidney Harman Hall.

FELA!, the winner of three Tony Awards®, is the true story of the legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, whose soulful Afrobeat rhythms ignited a generation. Inspired by his mother, a civil rights champion, he defied a corrupt and oppressive military government and devoted his life and music to the struggle for freedom and human dignity. FELA! is a triumphant tale of courage, passion and love, featuring Fela Kuti’s captivating music and the visionary direction and choreography of Bill T. Jones. Time Out New York proclaims that “FELA! is more than a musical; it’s an ecstatic phenomenon.” Bill T. Jones says of the production, “One has to experience it as much with one’s hips as one’s ears, eyes and mind.”

“We continue to strive to bring some of the best theatre productions to D.C. that wouldn’t be seen here otherwise. We are thrilled to present Bill T. Jones’ exciting mix of world music, theatre and dance that tells the story of Fela Kuti,” says Chris Jennings, Managing Director of the Shakespeare Theatre Company. “The Shakespeare Theatre Company has presented hugely successful productions of Phèdre, The Great Game: Afghanistan and Black Watch, and we’ve seen that theatregoers in the D.C. area have a tremendous appetite for top-quality presentations.” STC Artistic Director Michael Kahn adds, “FELA! is original and exciting, the perfect show to compliment our 25th Anniversary Season. I’m thrilled to welcome Bill T. Jones and the amazing cast to our theatre.”

“Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false,” they said through Smith’s publicist.

“We are still together, and our marriage is intact.”

Will Smith’s 18-year-old son from a previous marriage slammed the rumor on Twitter.

The couple have two children together, actor son Jaden, 13, and daughter Willow, 10.

Jada once said in an interview:

We always have people that we’re attracted to that we talk about. That don’t stop just because your married. Somebody’s always gonna catch your eye. That’s real. Somebody’s gonna always be prettier than me, and somebody’s always gonna be more in awe of him than me, and he gonna be like *in Will’s voice* ‘yo she really like me’ (laughter) but as far as somebody being right for us… is there somebody right for a nice night? Maybe. But somebody that can sustain our life and sustain what we’ve built together, absolutely not!

The couple who have been married for 13 years first met in 1995 when she auditioned for the role of Smith’s girlfriend on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” show. She was turned down because she was considered to be too short for the part. Will said that Jada didn’t think he was funny when they first met.

Will said:

“We were together for two years before she even laughed at something I said! She thinks I’m hilarious now, it just took her some time to work into it, but we connected intellectually … We connected intellectually and worked into the comedic side.”

Will proposed to Jada in November 1997, and were married on December 31, 1997. Their secret New Year’s Eve wedding was held in Baltimore at the Cloisters Mansion.

Take a look at the couple throughout their marriage:

TMZ placed a call to Jada’s rep, Karynne Tencer, who told them … “What? In Touch said that? I know nothing about this … Lord. I’m going back to bed.”

Who’s next? Claire & Cliff Huxtable?

At this point, I’m not sure if this is true, but best believe I’m going to get to the bottom of this.

After doing some research, I came across this video of Jada and Marc Anthony on a recent episode of her hit show “HawthoRNe” and let’s just say it doesn’t get any steamier than this. These two were going in, tongue and everything!!

Could this be the reason why both Will & Jada and J.Lo and Marc Anthony split up?

The couple allowed cameras inside their 25,000-square-foot house for the first time. The house took seven years to be completed and is located in Southern California.

“Everything needed to be done by hand,” Will says. “We wanted to feel the love and labor that went into every piece of this place.” The actor says the nine-bedroom home, that includes a meditation room, has as a circular floor plan which creates “an infinite cycle that represented what Jada and I hoped for our love.”

Jada says, “for Will and me this home was always a spiritual endeavor. We’re very earthy, organic people. We wanted to create a family retreat, something made by hand and as natural as possible, something that ties back to the land.”

Check out a list and gallery of celebs that have aged gracefully below!

12. LisaRaye, 43. Though she sometimes annoys me, I’d officially be a hater if I didn’t give the woman her props. She is 43 and fabulous!

11. Common, 39. Proving that some of the high yella fellas still got it, Mr. Common sense will forever hold the subtle sex appeal of an African king and the wisdom of an old soul. I can’t even front, I was surprised myself when I saw how close to 40 he is, it doesn’t even matter because he still has “it.”

10. Oprah Winfrey, 57. Although she’s no Miss America, I will say that to be approaching the big 6-0, she sure doesn’t look like it. I mean don’t get me wrong, she’s no 37 but she also doesn’t look like she’s almost 60.

9. Halle Berry, 44. Although I get extremely tired of hearing about her beauty, I simply can’t deny it. She’s absolutely more beautiful now as a 44 year old mother, then she was as a pageant girl at 18, in my own personal opinion.

8. Stacey Dash, 45. This woman at 45 looks exactly like she did when she played Deon on “Clueless,” if not better. The woman is absolutely gorgeous!

7. Phylicia Rashad, 63. Mrs. Huxtable hasn’t changed a bit, everything from her beauty, style, grace, and class is still in tact, without a hair out of place!

6. Gabrielle Union, 38. For a woman kissing 40, She still could pass for 25. No lie.

5. Angela Bassett, 52. The soon to be 53 Angela Bassett, has been a staple for the beautiful black actress for years. Not only that but the woman has arms that will put Michelle Obama’s to shame.

4. Blair Underwood, 46. Without a wrinkle in sight Blair Underwood is to black women, what George Clooney is to Caucasian’s, in other words–all of that! This man still looks just as good as he did in “Set It Off,” when he was pouring wax down Jada Pinkett’s back, and chile I am not mad.  At all.

3. Jada Pinkett-Smith, 39. Though there’s much speculation as to whether or not she’s had work done or not, one thing you cannot say is that if she didn’t throw some dookey braids in her hair or cut it short to a fade, she could still look like she did back in 1995.

2. Will Smith, 42. I’d be lying if I said Will looks exactly like he did during his fresh prince days, but he does look amazing to be in his forties.

1. Nia Long, 40. In my eyes, Nia Long exemplifies beauty! I’ll nominate her as the most beautiful woman in the world over Halle Berry any day, no lie. This woman looks better pregnant at age 40 looks better than Lindsey Lohan at 25. Don’t believe me, take a look at the gallery.

All I have to say is, thank God for the melanin in my skin!

It already seems as if the “first lady of the NBA” -as she’s often called- and her boo, Carmelo, are following in Will and Jada’s footsteps after creating  a production company together which produced “Lala’s Full Court Wedding” as well as the Mike Tyson Documentary.

Check out an excerpt from their interview with the NY Times below.

When asked about Will and Jada:
“I love Will Smith and Jada Pinkett! You see the love, and you can see the support, and they partner on things and produce together. But she has a life, and he has a life.”

When asked about couples that inspire them:
“Will and Jada have a tremendous relationships, Jay-Z and Beyonce have a tremendous relationship, Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys, they’re a couple we see that inspires us. But we want to be ourselves. We want people to say, ‘We want our relationship to be like Melo and LaLa.’”

When asked about Lala wanting to be more than a ‘basketball wife’:
“A lot of times with basketball players, their wives, and I’m not criticizing, but their life is just about the man, what time is he getting home, why hasn’t he called me? But I’m so much more than” that. I’m a mom, I’m an actress, I’m a producer. Like, out of all that, I don’t want to just be called a basketball wife. What I see in Will Smith and Jada Pinkett, is having your own, and I tell everyone that.”

When asked about creating a business partnership:
“I saw her wanting to go into movies and producing films and documentaries and reality shows, So I said instead of letting somebody else come on board and produce all this stuff, we have the capabilities and the relationships, we can create our own production company and bring everything through that.”

I absolutely LOVE Lala and Carmelo’s relationship and I definitely don’t think it will take long for younger couples to aspire to want to have a relationship just like them!

I noticed in the first episode, you were pregnant, you had a little belly. Did you ever reminisce about when you were actually pregnant?
Oh yeah. I did. It was like, you just know all the ways of being with the stomach and how you walk. And I was thinking, I loved being pregnant! I really did. And it was kinda sad, I said, I will never be pregnant again.

No?
Heck no! My bonus son just graduated from high school! Me with a diaper bag? I almost got the other two out the house! I’m like, no, sir. I am so done! Shop closed!

So, Will’s on that same page too?
You know what, it’s funny because he actually, the last couple of months, has been like, ‘Come on, let’s have one more, please let me have one more.’ Guys always wanna reproduce! I was like, what’s going on? Nope, not happening.

If You Marry Your Best Friend, You’re Good
Every man wants to marry his homie, Will explained. A lot of women will impress them, but it’s the one they can always laugh with and be themselves with that will ultimately impress them the most. If you can be yourselves around each other, 100 percent of the time, and they can make you life like no one else can, you’ll never have a dull moment together.

Remind Him of What He Has
When you start to feel that you’re nagging your husband to the point of no return and nothing you’re saying is getting through, Will suggests you try a new approach. Hold him close, look him right in the eyes, and tell him that you love him, you’re right there, and you always will be, BUT you need him to pick his socks up – right now. As Will puts it, it’s important to remind him that your request is coming from a good place, and what you want is a small thing in the grand scheme of things. Um, genius!

“If you don’t give your husband thirty minutes to himself when he first gets home he’ll stop coming home,” Will told me, straight up. (You’re thinking, no way, right? I did too!) When I asked Will when a wife was supposed to say her piece, he responded, “anytime after that.” Will reminded me that everyone’s home needs to feel like a happy place, and it won’t if you’re “greeted with negativity” every time you enter the door. Touché Will. Talk about a pause for the cause. via Hip Hollywood

“I went to school to be an actress. I never expected to be a rapper. It just fell in my lap. So I would like to get an acting gig. I hope that when I am done with the tour I can go back and do some acting. That is my long-term goal,” she said at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. See pics here!

And just who would she like to work with? “Will Smith, because he’s a very successful rapper turned actor and therefore a role model. And [Alice in Wonderland director] Tim Burton because I love his crazy imagination. He comes up with these characters that are just so fascinating and the costumes and just creates these whole worlds.”

Tom Hanks hosted the event saying, “Now, Oprah, I know you do not like surprises. Let me see if I can put you at ease. There was an English playwright who said there’s no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved, and that is what tonight is all about … pulling off this little show at the United Center has been the best-kept secret.”

The “Surprise Oprah!” two-part series airs May 23 and 24, before her final episode on May 25.

His double-decker, 1,150-square foot trailer is parked in the middle of the Soho neighborhood and, despite it’s size, Smith has also rented an apartment less than a mile away.

Nicknamed “The Heat,” the trailer “includes a lounge, a movie room with a 100-inch screen, marble floors throughout, offices for his assistants and writing staff, a large bedroom and all-granite bathroom. It measures about 53 feet long, has 22 wheels and weighs in at around 30 tons.”

Resident Brigitte Moreno lives in the building next to where the trailer is parked. She says, “It looks bigger than my apartment! The smell that comes along with it is disgusting. It’s like living in a gas station. I really like Will Smith, but I would be embarrassed if that was my trailer. A little modesty goes a long way.” [FreddyO via the New York Post]

Jaden’s contract with the movie was split into two installments: one for $900,000 and the other for $100,000. Keep in mind that when this movie was released, Jaden was only 10 years old. That’s more money than some make in their whole life, and Jaden’s made it at 10.

Since the film grossed over $150 million in the box office, Jaden took home another $2 million last year, and based on the success of the film, it’s likely that he’ll make even more.

Sounds lovely.
