But there are a few “privileged children” who prove their mettle. One is Jaden Smith, 11-year-old son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett. He’s wrapping up the remake of The Karate Kid, made famous by Ralph Macchio and the late Pat Morita in the ’80s.

Jaden landed the lead role of Dre Parker, an American boy who is forced to move to China with his mom. There, he finds trouble in the neighborhood and learns Kung Fu from Mr. Han, played by Jackie Chan. Mr. Han, the maintenance man, is secretly a master of Kung Fu.

My doubts about this flick were erased when I saw the trailer. The movie didn’t exactly ride on the “wax-on, wax-off” formulas that worked in the ’80s, but there are familiar Mr. Miyagi moments that both the old and young generation can enjoy.

Jaden also shows impressive acting chops and martial arts know-how. He was so good that Jackie Chan was blown away during their shoots last year. “He put my son to shame!” Jackie said in an interview. “I provided my son with the best martial artists in the world, and he could not be persuaded to try it. In just two months, Jaden had learned so much. He is truly a talented boy,” he said.

The film is currently in post-production and I cannot wait to see it in June!

Beautiful Jada Pinkett Smith is celebrating her 36th birthday today!

Wonder what Jada is going to get into tonight with hubby Will Smith.  Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s naughty!

Happy b’day, Jada!  Wishing we could personally give you some of those birthday spankings!

As rumors abound about Katie Holmes being trapped in a marriage to Tom Cruise, friends of the couple are stepping up to reveal what’s what.

Jada Pinkett Smith, recently gave PEOPLE the lowdown, saying that Katie is no prisoner, “It burns my soul – I see her in the house with Tom; he doesn’t have that on her! It kills me. ‘Tom’s this monster and he’s got her chained up in the basement and he’s forcing Scientology down her throat’ – it’s bulls—. Let me tell you: Kate ain’t no little wimpy kitty cat. It’s not that ballgame. For real.”

Well, if Jada said it, maybe I can swallow it…  What do you think?

Adorable actress & Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, was spotted in New York getting serious about safety.

The actress took time to read, enthusiastically I might add, “The Great Tomato Adventure” to several young fans at the Preschool of America.  Smith was on hand to talk about parenting & the importance of child safety.

You know, I just love the female half of this Hollywood duo & Jada’s outfit, as well as expression, are priceless!

Apparently Will likes his crushes.  Before it was Beyoncé Knowles, ole Will had a crush on Salma Hayek.  Who wouldn’t, right?  But Pinkett say she’s totally fine with her husband’s infatuations, saying, “Will and I both have our little Hollywood crushes.”

“For me, it used to be The Rock. For Will, it was Salma Hayek and then Beyoncé for a while.”

In fact, Pinkett is so comfortable with her hubby Will’s sex symbol status that she said he should be in more steamy scenes, “I wish Will would do more [love scenes]!”

“People want to see that.”

Yes, we do, Jada.  Yes we do.

You tell me- Would you be comfortable with your spouse smooching on screen with another person?
