Will Smith is known for making audiences laugh, but does he have what it takes to be the butt of a joke? The Bad Boys star could be in line as the latest celebrity to take part in Netflix's live roast. Smith is reportedly among various celebrities that the streaming service is considering, but nothing is set in stone. Netflix declined to comment, but the possibility of the actor being front and center for an old-fashioned roast of a lifetime is not a bad idea.

Not only will the ratings probably be high, as many will tune in to see what fellow comedians, family or even friends have to say about Smith, but it'll also be interesting to see how the actor will react. From the infamous Oscars slap to his relationship with his wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith, and other things, nothing would be off limits if this were to happen.

Major Hollywood figures are pushing back against OpenAI and Google’s appeals to the U.S. government to allow their AI models to train on copyrighted works.

Film, television and music figures including Ron Howard, Cate Blanchett, Cynthia Erivo, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Taika Waititi and Ava Duvernay have signed on to a letter expressing alarm at the tech giants’ suggestions in recent submissions to a White House office that they should be able to access publicly available intellectual property.

“We firmly believe that America’s global AI leadership must not come at the expense of our essential creative industries,” the letter states, adding that the arts and entertainment industry provides more than 2.3 million jobs and bolsters America’s democratic values abroad. “But AI companies are asking to undermine this economic and cultural strength by weakening copyright protections for the films, television series, artworks, writing, music, and voices used to train...

Is Will Smith willing to be the butt of the joke? We soon may find out.

According to Puck News, Smith is one of several celebrities Netflix has approached about headlining their next live comedy roast — a no holds barred ribbing that would inevitably invite jokes about the infamous Oscars slap and his very public marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith.

Will Smith was well on his way to becoming the world’s biggest star, but it came tumbling down at the Oscars in 2022. Smith’s slap to Oscar host Chris Rock was heard around the world and instantly took away attention from his eventual win on the same night. The actor spoke about the need to be a protector and indirectly defended his action during his Oscars speech.

This was not the first time Smith has been connected to violence, though. The actor’s slap led to many speculations about his past and his history with violence. Smith has spoken about his troubled childhood with an abusive parent. He was also arrested in connection with the assault of William Hendricks, a record promoter.

Celebrating final girls isn’t uncommon practice in the horror world. In fact, if anything, we celebrate quite a number of final girls on a consistent basis, including Sally Hardesty (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the reboot), Ripley, Nancy Thompson (A Nightmare on Elm Street 1 + 3 and New Nightmare) Sidney Prescott (Scream 1-5 and soon 7) and more. Those ladies get their fair share of recognition from horror fans, but what about the other final girls? What about the final girls who are underdiscussed?

There should always be room for discussion of final girls who might not be well known, part of a major franchise, or belong to several marginalized communities.

Well, Will Smith’s life lately has been a series of controversies more than it has been about his talent or his acting career. Ever since the infamous Slapgate incident at the Oscars, the actor has been at the receiving end of backlash from fans for one thing or another. Although the actor received praise and success momentarily with the release of Bad Boys 4, his life seems to have fallen back into an endless cycle of controversy.

Let’s be real—celebrity gossip has a magnetic pull. It’s the addictive, guilty pleasure that keeps us scrolling through our feeds, wondering who’s been canceled, who’s getting roasted, and who’s fallen from grace faster than a rock thrown off a cliff. In 2024, the list of the most hated celebrities includes a few heavyweights we can’t seem to avoid.

Now, you might think Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would be the king and queen of controversy, but they’ve got some stiff competition. The man with the most heat on him right now isn’t even close to them. Yes, we are talking about P Diddy. The music mogul, is no longer just dealing with dropped albums and fashion statements but has now found himself battling some seriously ugly accusations that have left him on the outs.

Queen Latifah started her music career in the late 1980s, beatboxing for the famed New York/New Jersey music collective the Flavor Unit. By 1989, she already had released her first single, "Wrath of My Madness," overseen by start producer Fab 5 Freddy. Her rap songs soon began getting a great deal of airplay, and she became a celebrity on "Yo! MTV Raps." Only a few years into her professional music career, Latifah branched out into acting, first appearing in Spike Lee's 1991 film "Jungle Fever." She was in mainstream Hollywood comedies like "House Party 2" and "Who's the Man?," while also appearing in dramas like "Juice" and "My Life." 

Latifah's star-making turn came in 1996, playing the role of Cleo in F. Gary Gray's "Set It Off," a hard-edged L.A. heist movie that also starred Jada Pinkett and Vivica A. Fox. From that point foward, she was a force to be reckoned with.

Will Smith Went Bankrupt In 1990 But This One Career Move Saved Him! (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Will Smith continues to struggle with his personal and professional life since the Oscars 2022 controversy. He slapped Chris Rock over a joke he made about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. He has been banned from the Academy Awards for 10 years. But do you know, way before this crisis, he went broke in the 1990s and rose from the ashes? Scroll below for an interesting throwback.

Way before shining as an actor, Will collaborated with his friend Jeffrey Allen Townes to form the hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. Their single “Parents Just Don’t Understand” in 1988 earned them their first Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance. Smith enjoyed his newfound success and began spending on luxury items, including cars, motorcycles, and clothes. He bit more than he could chew, and...

For years, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have kept the world guessing about the true nature of their relationship. While legally married, Jada once described their split as “not a divorce on paper. But it was a divorce.”

That cryptic statement from 2022 revealed that the Hollywood power couple had been living separate lives since 2016—long before the infamous Oscars slap that shook Will’s career.

Despite the separation, Jada remains an influential figure in Will’s life. Even after her 2020 revelation about her affair with singer August Alsina, Will has seemingly struggled to move on.

Recently, Will made headlines again, this time for a steamy on-stage moment with Spanish singer India Martinez at the Premio Lo Nuestro awards in Miami. The intimate performance ignited romance rumors, but insiders suggest that it was more about making a statement than a genuine love connection. “Shameless” as some critics called it, the...

Despite the disaster that headlined Chris Rock’s last gig at the Academy Awards, the Emmy-winning comedian says he’s not averse to hosting the Oscars for a third time because he believes in turning the other cheek.

It’s been nearly three years since Rock presented the award for Best Documentary Feature during the 94th Academy Awards and told the most physically dangerous joke of his entire storied career. The moment is etched into the memories of all who watched it live, just as it’s embedded in Rock’s cheekbone. While acknowledging actress Jada Pinkett Smith, Rock glibly remarked of Pinkett Smith’s bald appearance, “Jada, can't wait for GI Jane 2.” In response, Will Smith stormed the stage, slapped Rock so hard that the comic saw more stars than just the Oscars crowd, returned to his seat and screamed, “Keep my wife’s name out your fuckin’ mouth!

Here’s The Iron Man Line Robert Downey Jr. Wrote For The Avengers (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Robert Downey Jr. had a habit of making Tony Stark’s lines snappier, and The Avengers was no exception. The film originally had Stark waking up after nearly dying and asking, “What’s next?” But Rdj wasn’t having it. Joss Whedon, who had already reworked Zak Penn’s script, scribbled out multiple new versions in a notebook, trying to find the perfect fit.

But even with those revisions, Downey still wasn’t satisfied. The actor wanted something lighter, more offbeat. That’s when he threw in a completely random suggestion: Shawarma. A throwaway joke? Hardly. The improvised line made the final cut and led to one of the most iconic post-credits scenes in Marvel history.

Shia Labeouf and Alec Baldwin were set to share the stage in the 2013 Broadway production of Orphans, but things went south before opening night. Their tension reached a breaking point, leading to Labeouf’s abrupt departure from the show. According to Baldwin, it all started with a clash in rehearsal styles that escalated quickly.

Baldwin claimed that Labeouf had already memorized his lines before rehearsals began, while he preferred a slower approach. Frustrated by the pacing, the Transformers star reportedly snapped at Baldwin in front of the cast. Speaking to New York magazine, in the publication’s debut biweekly issue, Baldwin said (via Broadway Buzz): “One day he attacked me in front of everyone. He said, ‘You’re slowing me down, and you don’t know your lines. And if you don’t say your lines,...

Oscar-winning musical fantasy Wicked is still running at the box office and is set to be released in Japan.

There is a chance it might surpass the worldwide haul of Keanu Reeves’s starrer The Matrix Reloaded. Scroll below for the deets.

The movie was released around Thanksgiving and registered several box office records. It was directed by Jon M Chu, adapting the first act of the 2003 stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Holzman. The film featured Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum. Made on a budget of $150 million, it is the fifth highest-grossing film of last year.

In her memoir, Worthy, Jada Pinkett Smith detailed how she had planned to drive off a cliff, ensuring it looked like an accident so her children would not be traumatized.

Suicide felt like the only way out. Therapy, meditation, even backpacking didn’t help. She tried golf, taking lessons from Tiger Woods, but nothing could silence the pain. Then, a friend suggested ayahuasca, a psychoactive plant drink believed to have healing properties.

She accepted it from a medicine woman, and the first thing she confronted was her own suicidal thoughts. By the fourth day, she “never felt suicidal again.” It changed her life, helping her reconnect with love and become the mother she wanted to be.

Chris Rock is playing coy about hosting the Academy Awards again. The former host — who was involved in one of the most memorable moments in Oscars history when he was slapped by Will Smith onstage — remained vague when asked whether or not he would tackle the role taken on by Conan O'Brien in this year's ceremony.

Considering all that he had to endure not only during the 2022 Oscars, but the fallout after the fact, it's not surprising that the Fargo star was hesitant to commit to returning. But given that Rock was all about "forgiveness" when E! News asked him about it at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, we could absolutely see a world where he comes back and hosts the show again.

Chris Rock was asked by E! News at this year’s Vanity Fair Oscars Party about whether or not he would host the Oscars again, three years after Will Smith infamously slapped him on stage. Rock isn’t ruling out a return despite the incident. The comedian hosted the Oscars in 2005 and 2016. He presented the best documentary category at the 2022 Oscars and made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, which led to the Will Smith slap.

So, in January 2015, she tuned in as usual to see Chris Pine and Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the first Black female president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, announce that year’s nominees.

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.

Led by the mercurial Will Smith, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air lasted for six seasons and had Smith playing a fictionalized, teenage version of himself. The series, well-regarded for its colorful physical comedy and Will Smith’s undeniable charisma, boasts a 7.9 rating on IMDb.

How many movies arrive with the seismic thunder of The Matrix? Debuting to little fanfare in 1999, the movie became a sensation. Suddenly, black leather, trenchcoats, and sleek sunglasses became all the rage. Other movies rushed to parody and pilfer the film’s fight choreography. And in a feat matched only by Star Wars, The Matrix spawned its own religion. Suffice it to say anticipation ran high for the arrival of The Matrix Reloaded four years later.

In another feat also only matched by Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, The Matrix Reloaded debuted to Leviathan hype. Warner Bros. promoted the film with 24-hour showings in cinemas, but this time, the audience walked away feeling cheated and confused. In fact, despite earning positive reviews and doing mammoth box office, The Matrix Reloaded gained — and still maintains — a reputation as one of the worst sequels of all time. Thus, the time has come...

Twenty years after the release of the romantic comedy “Hitch,” director Andy Tennant has opened up about the behind-the-scenes tensions with star Will Smith that nearly derailed the film’s production.

In a candid interview with Business Insider, Tennant revealed significant creative differences that plagued the movie-making process. Just three days before shooting was set to begin, Smith considered backing out of the project, highlighting the intense creative struggles between the director and lead actor.

Despite the challenges, the film became a massive commercial success, grossing over $370 million worldwide. Tennant described the collaborative process as complex, noting that “The movie I wanted to make and the movie Will wanted to make, neither one of those movies is as good as the movie we made together.”

The production was marked by heated debates over key scenes, including the doorstep sequence with Kevin James and the Ellis Island segment. However, the director...

Will Smith’s career and personal life have taken a significant hit following the infamous Oscars slap that sent shockwaves through Hollywood in 2022.

The fallout from the incident has reportedly cost him a staggering $1 billion in lost opportunities and his once-promising projects, like the high-budget film ‘Emancipation,’ failed to make a splash, despite Smith reportedly earning $35 million for the role.

Andy Tennant is looking back on his 2005 film, Hitch, with less than fond memories.

Tennant, who directed the rom-com that stars Will Smith, Kevin James and Eva Mendes, and which just celebrated its 20th anniversary, recently told Business Insider about how he had disagreements and didn’t get along with the movie’s lead, Smith. According to Tennant, the two did not see eye to eye on drafts and the film’s direction. So much so that Smith wanted out just a few days before filming began.

“Will tried to back out three days before we started shooting. He wanted to shut down and work on it some more,” Tennant said.

“We had our difficulties,” the director said. “The movie I wanted to make and the movie Will wanted to make, neither one of those movies is as good as the movie we made together. It was a battle.”

Will Smith's romantic comedy Hitch scored with theatergoers back in 2005, but "it was madness" trying to make the movie, according to the film’s director, Andy Tennant. The filmmaker clashed with the A-list actor who hired him to helm the classic rom-com, because of conflicting story ideas, and Smith even threatened to drop out of the project three days before filming began. Nevertheless, Tennant claims not to “have anything against” Smith in a new interview published at the time of Hitch’s 20th anniversary. Tennant said (via Business Insider):

"He [Smith] hired me to make this movie. It was not an easy job for anybody, but we went around the world with the movie. Even [during] the hard times he’d always say, 'Wait until the junket. We’re gonna go around the world with this.' And we did, and it was great. It was the most amazing trip I had ever been on.

Sylvester Stallone once made a jaw-dropping decision: he turned down a massive $34 million payday for Rambo IV in the late ’80s. And yet, two decades later, he did the movie anyway — for much less.

When Rambo III was about to hit theaters, studios were ready to keep the franchise rolling. Stallone, already making a fortune, got a staggering offer: $34 million, guaranteed, to do Rambo IV. But he hesitated.

“We thought it was going to be the biggest hit—this was before it came out,” he said. “And I was paid a fortune for it. Then they go, ‘We want Rambo IV. Here it is: Pay or play, 34.’ I go, ‘Let’s not jump the gun here.’”
