Smith, who arrived in Taiwan on Thursday on a promotional tour, said it was "fantastic" to work with the 15-year-old in their second movie together, the sci-fi flick "After Earth", set to hit cinemas in June.

"Entertainment is our family business, so I am sure that if something comes up we'll do it again," Smith said at a red carpet fan meeting near the landmark Taipei 101 building, which was lit up with the movie's name.

"He (Jaden) is looking forward to a comedy, he's been having to do lots of drama for his career. Drama has kind of been his signature and he's been asking to find a comedy," Smith said.

Nicki Minaj Calls Mariah Carey Bitter and Insecure

Nicki Minaj

Filo: Nicki was responding to a tweet posted by gossip blogger Perez Hilton, which read: "Mariah Carey BURNS Nicki Minaj on Idol For Lack Of No1 Songs!" Perez's tweet linked to an article that mentioned a snarky remark Mariah had made during Wednesday's "Idol" broadcast (when Mariah had pointed out "not everybody has" a number-one record, presumably comparing her Billboard chart track record to Nicki's).

Shellie Bo Talley is 38, NOT 55 … Document Proved

Shellie

Kiyo: The internet is indeed a funny world! It’s amazing how someone can sneeze in Australia, before you realise, it is news in Africa.

Am sure you’ve read recent stories about Shellie Bo Talley, the supposed 55 year old Grandma that looks like a 29 year old.

Well, K&F can confirm to you that there is no iota of truth in the story; Shellie is not 55, rather the entrepreneur is 38.

From Shellie’s tweet, you would discover that she has kept her age to herself; however, K&F investigation revealed a mug shot on the internet that resolves the mystery.

From the mug shot, you would notice on May 20th, 2007, Shellie was arrested by Georgian police while driving with a suspended licence (don’t forget, an arrest does not mean that the individual has been convicted of the alleged violation); then she was 32, that implies Shellie is actually 38.

Shellie Terrell Talley, who goes by the name MsBo Talley on social media owns Blaq Pearl Entertainment (events/entertainment Company) and is the Founder of Tripe T Foundation. Her husband coaches in the WNBA and she is blessed with four great children.

My home is already packed with good actors and actresses and with my studies from Premier School of Modelling; it makes me a whole actress. Although I could have stayed in the US to act, I decided to come home because if I have any talent to put out there then I need to start from my root”

TV PRESENTER’S HIPS DRIVES KENYAN MEN CRAZY

Linda Ogutu

Filo: The name Linda Ogutu may not ring a bell, but the well-endowed TV personality is a household name in Kenya. Linda, a former staff of NTV, is currently a News Anchor at Kenya’s leading station, Kenya Television Network (KTN).

The hipped lady is a regular feature on the station’s prime time news at 9pm; a moment an average Kenyan wouldn’t want to miss – not necessarily because of the news but to behold their favourite news anchor.

Lately, there have been reports of scuffles in bars and clubs due to demands by merry makers, especially men to have TV sets tuned to KTN… just to watch Linda.

Kenyan Post reported an incident that occurred recently in Nairobi, “Over the weekend at a club in Nairobi's Westlands area, chaos erupted after the club manager chose to switch to KTN for the 9pm news...Reason being LINDA OGUTU.

And immediately a reveller demanded that the station be tuned to Citizen because Janet Mbugua was reading the news and what followed was an exchange of words as revellers fought to have their favourite anchor tuned in. It took the intervention of the management to calm everyone down by switching off all the TV's and demanded that people concentrate on their drinks”

Kiyo: Those Hips don’t lie.
