Did Jada Pinkett Smith Open Up About Her “Entanglement” In Front Of Will Smith? (Photo Credit – Instagram/Koimoi)

Back in 2020, Jada Pinkett Smith didn’t just acknowledge the rumors surrounding her private life; she brought herself to Red Table Talk and put it all out there. In a surprise episode, she sat down with her husband, Will Smith, to clear the air about her “entanglement” with R&b singer August Alsina.

The conversation stemmed from Alsina’s bombshell revelation in an interview, in which he claimed he had a romantic relationship with Pinkett Smith and that Will had given them his blessing. Days later, Pinkett Smith teased a response, tweeting: “There’s some healing that needs to happen… so I’m bringing myself to The Red Table.” And she did.

Facing Will Smith, she admitted that she and Alsina had been involved—four and a half years ago—while she and Will were separated.

Kristen Stewartis about to get stoned. The actress and producer has co-written a wild stoner buddy comedy with her fiancée, the actress and writer Dylan Meyer, called The Wrong Girls. Better yet? The film is already in production in Los Angeles — making it one of the first independent films to begin shooting in LA since the catastrophic wildfires struck the city. Meyer is directing the film, which will also star Alia Shawkat and Seth Rogen.

The multi-hyphenated Stewart recently spoke with IndieWire about bringing the project to life, and it sounds like an episode of Broad City writ large (which is a huge compliment coming from this particular writer). According to Iw's reporting, the supporting cast will also feature the comedic talents of Kumail Nanjiani, Lakeith Stanfield, Zack Fox, and Tony Hale. When speaking about the project, Stewart asserted her enthusiasm for the project, noting that she is "doing backflips" about it going into production,...

[This story contains spoilers from the Harlem season three finale.]

After three seasons, Harlem has wrapped in a nice neat bow of a series finale, something creator Tracy Oliver was adamant about when she learned her Prime Video comedy was being canceled.

“I don’t want to be one of those shows where — because I’ve been that viewer — you’re like, ‘you’re just going to end like that?’” she tells The Hollywood Reporter in the conversation below.

Giving audiences a satisfying conclusion to the series that centered around the lives of four friends — played by Meagan Good, Jerrie Johnson, Shoniqua Shandai and Grace Byers — in the New York City neighborhood it’s named after required Oliver and the rest of her writing team to make a complete pivot halfway through the scripting process. That included, Oliver reveals, swapping the original character she planned to go through a motherhood journey in season three for Camille (Good) to give her...

The internet—what a wild, unfiltered beast! It’s the place where everything from facts to wild rumors gets twisted. And all this happens even faster than you can say “Ctrl+Z”. Well, here we are, yet again, with a meme that’s been haunting the digital world for far too long. If you’ve seen Kanye West supposedly commenting on Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair with a cheeky “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair,” then this tweet is as real as a unicorn on roller skates.

It’s been causing confusion, raising eyebrows, and giving fans a full-on head-scratcher. Let’s dive into the drama surrounding Smith’s hair journey and the hilarious myth about West’s alleged tweet.

Wadzilla director Adam Rifkin is gearing up for yet another eclectic production, accompanied this time by a star-studded cast that will include the somewhat infamous James Franco alongside a plethora of other household names. Entitled Toad, the upcoming project has been described as "a psychedelic stoner comedy" that will put viewers at the center of a trippy, drug-fueled odyssey to Las Vegas and beyond.

Rifkin's Toad follows the shenanigans of Alex and Sam, two down-on-their-luck stoners who end up in the service of menacing crime lord Charles (Robinson), and are subsequently pressured into transporting a mysterious package from LA to Vegas. When Alex and Sam decide to take a peek inside the box, they discover live, psychedelic "acid" toads which promptly begin to overheat, leaving our hapless protagonist duo no option but to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. As a result, Alex and Sam are dosed with extreme amounts of the toads' psychedelic ooze,...

Exclusive: Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip), James Franco (The Disaster Artist) and Christopher Meloni (Snatched) are joining Katt Williams (Scary Movie V), Craig Robinson (Hot Tub Time Machine), James Paxton (Twisters) and Oliver Wyman (Feeling Randy) in Adam Rifkin’s psychedelic stoner comedy Toad.

Architect have launched worldwide sales on the eve of Berlin’s EFM. Pic is due to shoot in Q2, 2025 in Atlanta.

James Paxton and Oliver Wyman play Sam and Alex, two hapless but lovable stoners, who accidentally find themselves in the service of crime lord, Charles (Robinson), when they are made to transport a mysterious box from LA to Vegas. Almost immediately, their childlike curiosity gets the better of them and upon opening the box, they find a bunch of live, psychedelic Sonoran “acid” toads. When the toads begin to overheat, the duo make an ill-advised attempt at mouth-to-mouth, thereby dosing themselves with extreme amounts of the toads’ psychedelic secretion.

As Tracy Oliver came of age in the Nineties and early 2000s, sitcoms like Girlfriends, Sex and the City and The Golden Girls dominated. Ultimately, their themes surrounding love (or the lack of it) and friendship helped form the blueprint for her own show, Harlem — but she implemented her own flair. “The one thing I felt was different from my group of friends versus those shows was the fact that everyone I went out with wasn’t straight,” says Oliver. “It was so interesting that everyone was heterosexual in these shows,...

Mufasa: The Lion King continues to find its footing at the box office, where it beat the openings of One of Them Days — the first female-led Black comedy since 2017’s Girls Trip — and Wolf Man over the long Martin Luther King Jr. holiday despite being in its fifth weekend.

The bad news overall: it was one of the lowest MLK weekends in years as Hollywood and theaters face another slowdown in event product for the time being.

Mufasa won the official four-day holiday with an estimated $15.5 million as it celebrated becoming only the second film in 15 years to jump the $200 million domestically despite opening to less than $40 million (it opened the weekend before Christmas. Through Monday, the origin pic has earned $209.8 million domestically and $382.2 million overseas dfor a global total of $592 million. While there’s no chance it will ever match 2019’s The Lion King ($1.66 billion), it’s staying power hasn’t gone unnoticed.

As “One of Them Days” finally hit theaters this weekend, its creative team, including writer Syreeta Singleton, director Lawrence Lamont and producers Issa Rae and Deniese Davis, hope the Black duo comedy encourages Hollywood studios to support more Black stories — especially given the long and challenging road it took to get their film made.

“There’s constantly things that we have to overcome to make a movie theatrical and to ensure that, by the studio standards, people will go to see it,” Rae told TheWrap, sharing the same sentiments as Davis, her producing and business partner, who urged film lovers to head to theaters for the film. “That’s why Deniese is saying it is so important for people to buy these tickets, because it’ll prove that there is a demand for these type of movies. And then the onus, of course, being Black filmmakers and also having Black female leads is that,...

Sunday Am Writethru Not counting the 2021 pandemic year when all theaters were closed, it’s the second lowest MLK 4-day weekend of the last 10 years with the marketplace now estimated to do $96.3M.

The last time it was this low was 2022 with $85M, and that’s when Paramount/Spyglass’ Scream led with a $33.8M Friday-Monday opening. Pin that overall low weekend total for all movies back then to a lack of product, even though Spider-Man: No Way Home was second with $24.2M, and some Covid jitters.

Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King performed well during the slow Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, making about $16.5 million over four days. Even though the cartoon prequel has been out for five weeks, it is doing well because new movie releases are not performing as strongly during this normally busy time.

In the last ten years, excluding 2021’s pandemic-affected numbers, the box office is expected to make just $101.2 million from all movies over the long weekend. This is a big drop compared to past years when ticket sales for the holiday weekend often exceeded $200 million.

Two new releases had a hard time becoming popular. One of Them Days, starring Sza and Keke Palmer, is expected to earn between $14 and $15 million, placing it in second place. The film received positive reviews (96% on Rotten Tomatoes) and an A- score from audiences on CinemaScore. However, its opening weekend is still small compared...

Keke Palmer is a performer down to her bones, honey. She’s booked, she’s busy, and thanks to her two-year-old son, Leo, she can now act out a good portion of Boss Baby on demand. “I do that [voice] to my son, and he immediately starts laughing,” Palmer, 31, says. “He’s absolutely obsessed.”

Since her breakout movie role at age 12 in 2006’s Akeelah and the Bee, Palmer has conquered nearly every medium there is. She’s become a Nickelodeon star, recorded two R&b albums, and appeared in a steady...

New lovers abound in the third and final season of Harlem as the newly released trailer for the Prime Video comedy shows.

The series which ended with a season two pregnancy cliffhanger appears to pick up right where it left off with one of its core characters, Camille (Meagan Good), Angie (Shoniqua Shandai), Tye (Jerrie Johnson) or Quinn (Grace Byers), finding out they’re expecting as four new faces are added to the mix — potentially five as one of the women is faced with deciding whether she wants to become a mom.

Season 3 of Harlem will stream on Prime Video on Jan. 23.

Among the newcomers is Kofi Siriboe (Queen Sugar) who joins the show as Seth, a major league baseball player who sparks a romance with Quinn, whom he’s also hired as his stylist. Logan Browning (Dear White People) will star as Portia, the childhood friend-turned-girlfriend of Camille’s...

Prime Video has unveiled the official trailer and key art for Harlem Season 3, which will wrap up the series beginning on January 23. The third and final season will pick up after the shocking season two finale cliffhanger.

From creator and writer Tracy Oliver (Girls Trip), Harlem Season 3 will follow the core four women on the precipice of change like never before. Whether it be motherhood, singlehood, sisterhood, complicated career journeys, or even more complicated families, our stylish and ambitious best girlfriends strive to finally choose themselves above all else.

“As we prepare to say goodbye to this incredible series, we’re both grateful for the journey Tracy has taken us on and excited for our global customers to experience a final season that truly honors these characters,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios.

“This chapter may be coming to a close, but the series will continue...

It’s time to say goodbye to the ladies of Harlem.

Prime Video released the official trailer for Harlem Season 3 (watch above) and announced it will be the final season of the series. The trailer continues the drama as Camille (Meagan Good) deals with Ian’s (Tyler Lepley) new exclusive relationship, while Tye (Jerrie Johnson) explores her own love interest. Not to mention, Angie (Shoniqua Shandai) is hitting Broadway and Quinn (Grace Byers) is still a boss.

Jada Pinkett Smith’s No-Nudity Choice ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Did you know Jada Pinkett Smith has a strict “no nudity” rule regarding love scenes? The actress who brought the heat in Magic Mike Xxl and Girls Trip keeps things covered when the cameras roll. And honestly, we’re kinda here for it. Jada’s boundary is like a breath of fresh air in a world where lines are crossed, and comfort zones are stretched.

She spilled the tea on Legacy Talk with Lena Waithe, saying, “No nudity. That was always the case for me.” Simple, no-nonsense, and it’s served her well. This rule has been part of her arsenal from the beginning—back when she was doing serious on-screen chemistry in Set It Off, the 1996 heist flick that had us all on the edge of our seats. Jada’s character, Stony, may have been stealing cash and breaking hearts,...

The Equalizer cast carried the television adaptation through its five seasons, proving the series about someone helping people who can't help themselves is just as popular now as it was when the original series aired in the 1980s. Based on the original series of the same name starring Edward Woodward, the CBS reboot features Queen Latifah as a former CIA operative who seeks justice on her own terms in New York City. The Equalizer retains the spirit of the original series, along with the movie franchise starring Denzel Washington, but gender-swapped the lead to Robyn McCall instead of Bob McCall.

In the pilot, Robyn (Latifah) helps a young girl, Jewel Machado, who becomes mixed up in a murder conspiracy. Robyn considers returning to the CIA but would rather spend time with her teenage daughter, Delilah, while moonlighting as a Big Apple vigilante. The show has changed up the cast somewhat...

Exclusive: Actress Kate Walsh (Grey’s Anatomy) has boarded The Runt, an Oscar-qualified live-action short film written, directed and produced by Emmy-nominated TV veteran Christy Stratton (Modern Family), as executive producer.

Walsh is just the latest to attach in that capacity today, following Brendan Gleeson with The Boat and Sharon Horgan with Calf. The project reunites her with Stratton, with whom she previously collaborated on the Emmy-nominated web series Everyone’s Crazy But Us.

The Runt follows Janet Bauer (Luna Martin), who like most 12-year-olds in 1979, lives for Friday nights at the Moonlight Rollerway. This particular Friday is special — it’s the last one before junior high starts. When Janet finds out the 8th grade girls have chosen her to be the 7th grade “runt,” she decides she must skate with a boy to prove her maturity and avoid this fate, which would ruin her life forever.

Following its Florida Film Festival premiere,...

No matter what your career is, it's important to set personal and professional boundaries. Whether that's refusing to do work when you're off the clock or just making a rule that you never work on your birthday (like me), it's important to know where your boundaries lie for peace of mind. When you're an actor, those boundaries can involve some very different elements, including performing in sex scenes. Though sex scenes may be awkward to film (unless you're Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh), they are often a necessary and important part of storytelling because sexuality is a part of the human experience. So, how do actors navigate their own boundaries when it comes to filming sex scenes? For Jada Pinkett Smith, it's always been about one simple rule.

On Lena Waithe's podcast "Legacy Talk" (via People), Pinkett Smith explained that despite the fact that she's acted in several love scenes onscreen over the years,...

Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith are among the most popular Hollywood couples known for their controversial situations. Although they have gained public attention for all the wrong reasons in recent times, with their elaborate careers, they have minted a huge fortune.

It is quite clear who has the upper hand when it comes to the net worth comparison, yet Jada is not far behind her husband in amassing over the years. Will’s constant flow of money comes from his projects as he is one of the highest-paid stars. On the other hand, Jada has tapped into many business ventures to keep her income affluent. So,...

Scary Movie fans were greeted with a nice surprise when it was revealed that the Wayans brothers are returning to the franchise for the first time since 2001's Scary Movie 2. Of course, with their announcement, the next big question is whether any of the original film's stars would also be returning, particularly Anna Faris and Regina Hall. Both have expressed an interest in reprising their roles, and now Hall is speaking about it following the news that the franchise is back in the hands of the Wayans brothers, where it belongs.

During a chat with TV Insider, the interviewer mentioned that the Wayans brothers are returning to the Scary Movie franchise and that Faris said she would come back as long as the money is right and Hall returns alongside her. Judging from the Girls Trip star's reaction, she's game to see if her character Brenda Meeks can make...

Lil Rel Howery is set to make his directorial debut and star in the horror comedy Haunted Heist, which will co-star Tiffany Haddish. The film was written by Carl Reid, who co-wrote the script for Hulu's 2024 release Mr. Crocket, a horror movie about a sinister children's television show host. French distribution outfit The Coven, which recently enjoyed big success with Terrifier 3, will distribute Haunted Heist.

The plot, according to Deadline, is as follows:

...four estranged friends reunite at what appears to be a typical house. But one friend has ulterior motives; he plans to rob the place and needs their help to find an antique worth a fortune. But the house is straight up haunted, and the group must squash their differences to survive the night and an insane pack of ghosts.

While the entire premise sounds promising, the phrase "insane pack of ghosts" will certainly pique the interest of the horror community.

The latest imagining of a live-action version of The Simpsons includes interesting casting choices for Apu and Ned Flanders. There have been several viral suggestions of how to cast a live-action Simpsons, though the main choices usually tend to be a well-known comedic actor like Adam Sandler or Kevin James as Marge, while the role of Homer is often imagined for an A-list performer, such as Scarlett Johansson or Charlize Theron. The more interesting selections tend to arise with the large number of supporting characters that populate Springfield.

The latest imagined trailer comes from Sjones Films, taking a different approach by picturing younger versions of most of the characters. That includes 21 Jump Street Jonah Hill, who plays Homer Simpson. Girls Trip star Tiffany Haddish portrays Marge Simpson, SNL's Pete Davidson is Bart, and Black-ish's Marsai Martin is Lisa. Rounding out the main family, Danny DeVito is Grandpa Simpson.
