wenn20396736

Will Smith has claimed that he and his family are not slaves to money.

The 46-year-old, who has children Jaden, 16, and 14-year-old Willow with wife Jada Pinkett, 43, claims his family are not “slaves to money”.

During an interview with Esquire, the actor claimed Jaden only has one pair of shoes.

He said: “He has three pairs of pants and he has five shirts. He has refused to be a slave to money. I so respect that…It’s such an interesting thing to watch…He’s like, ‘I’m not gonna let myself need things in that way’.”

That’s all very noble, but a quick scan of Jaden’s Instagram shows him posing in more than one pair, and in a 2013 interview with New York magazine, he said: “I like Cartier [Luxury watch brand]. The Cartier is new, but before that it was Louis [Vuitton].”

What do you think of Will’s comments?

Vince Vaughn on dating Jennifer Aniston: ‘There was too much attention on us’

Vince Vaughn has opened up about his time with Jennifer Aniston, claiming the press interest got too much.

The 44-year-old dated Jen, 46, in 2006, and claimed their time together was “great”.

Speaking to Playboy, he said: “You know, she’s great. For me personally – and I think most well-known actors who are together feel this way – I never enjoyed the paparazzi side of it, that’s separate and that was all fine.

“But I really spent most of that time finding ways not to be drawn into attention.”

Both Vince and Jen are settled down now, but she credits him for getting her through her break-up with Brad Pitt. Speaking to Vogue after she and Vince split, Jen said: “I call Vince my defibrillator. He literally brought me back to life. My first gasp of air was a big laugh! It was great. I love him. He’s a bull in a china shop. He was lovely and fun and perfect for the time we had together.”

Kevin Costner on Bobbi Kristina: ‘I hope she gets a second chance’

Kevin Costner has spoken out about Bobbi Kristina Brown, insisting he’s praying for her recovery.

The 60-year-old actor starred alongside 21-year-old Bobbi’s mother Whitney Houston in 1992, resulting in him becoming a close family friend.

Bobbi was found unresponsive in a bathtub at her home on 6 February, just weeks before the anniversary of her mother’s death. Whitney drowned in a bathtub in 2012 aged 48.

Speaking to Nightline, Kevin said: “My thoughts are probably similar to everyone, which is, obviously, the similarities, what’s going on, the worry that this might have happened again.

“The facts are the facts right now, that she’s sitting here, fighting for her life, surrounded by the people who love her the most. We understand the pressure they’re under. I think nobody more than her family, and if she could speak for herself, [for her] to have a second chance at this most precious life that we are all given.

“I hope that God opens her eyes and lets her breathe and lets her brain work, and she gets a second chance.”

Janet Jackson spotted for the first time in months – looking great!

After being in hiding for months, Janet Jackson has finally been snapped out shopping in Milan.

The 48-year-old R&B superstar was spotted in the Italian city on 11 February, looking great and very cozy.

Janet was wearing a long black coat, cropped black trousers and suede wedge boots. She topped off the wintry outfit with a black beanie, and kept make-up to a minimum.

In February 2013 Janet confirmed she was married to billionaire Wissam Al Mana, adding that they’d been married for months.

Before her shopping trip, Janet hadn’t been seen since 31 October last year, when she was snapped in Dubai at a Vogue fashion event.

Strangely, before that she was has not been seen since May 2013.

North West sits FROW with dad Kanye and mum Kim Kardashian

She’s not even two yet, but North West has already been FROW at Paris Fashion Week.

The tot joined mother Kim Kardashian, 34, and dad Kanye West, 37, for the debut of his new collection with Adidas.

But, while our pictures show adorable North loving life in the fashion world, the day before was a very different story.

Poor North obviously got noted of looking at clothes and threw a tantrum – while sitting next to fashion Goddess Anna Wintour. Unsurprisingly, Anna was NOT impressed.

In typical Kardashian-West style, North wore a huge fur coat to the fashion event. Her uncle Rob posted a snap to Instagram, writing: “Lil miss West in the building lol [sic]”

Scarlett Johansson on daughter Rose: ‘I was so surprised when she came out of me’

Scarlett Johansson has opened up about the birth of her daughter Rose Dorothy.

The actress gave birth to her daughter last year, and admitted to being shocked when she ‘came out of her’.

Speaking to W magazine, Scarlett said: “When she came out of me I was so surprised. I had a strong picture in my mind of what my baby would look like, and, of course, she is completely different. Perfect, but not what I’d imagined.”

Rose is Scarlett’s first child with French journalist Romain Dauriac, and the pair are said to have got married in secret last October, a month after her birth.

While she remained tight-lipped on her nuptials, Scarlett did discuss the husky voice she’s famous for.

She said: “When I was young, I would talk and everyone thought I had a cold. But when I went out for films, they loved my voice.”
