Will Smith claims to not be a Scientologist last I heard. Then why is he funding a Scientology school? He reportedly donated $1 million to open a private school ran by Scientology. For fuck’s sake!!!! These two are converting brainless sheep faster then a speeding bullet. FOX News reports:

The New Village Academy plans to use some teaching methods developed within the Church of Scientology and has hired a team of Scientologists to put them into action. Pinkett-Smith, who currently home-schools the couple’s two children, has long been talking about opening up a school where Jaden, 9, and Willow, 7, can continue to receive an education in line with their beliefs, friends told FOXNews.com. So she and her actor husband are bankrolling the pre-kindergarten through sixth grade school in Calabasas, Calif., and they have selected a group of Scientologists, including the Director of Learning, Director of Qualifications and Artistic Director, to create that atmosphere. But you won’t find references to the Church of Scientology on NVA’s Web site. Ron Reynolds, executive director of the California Association of Private School Organizations, a consortium of the state’s private and religious schools, said it’s not the actual teaching of Scientology methods that raises a red flag for him. His concern is the school’s non-disclosure about its apparent religious affiliation. “School should be forthright about its purposes. And if it’s a religious school, I don’t see why it wouldn’t wish to announce its religious affiliation loud and clear,” Reynolds said.

That’s messed up. Now they’re infiltrating our schools. For the love of all that is holy, I hope their cosmic ride comes soon to pick them up.

Who knew that Will Smith was such a cheap ass? It also seems that the rumors of him being a Scientologist are true.

According to the NY Daily News, Will Smith gave all the hard working people at his latest movie’s wrap party….

…a card good for a personality test at your local Scientology center. wtf Will? From now on I’m gonna refer to Scientology as “That cheap-ass church for the Hollywood elite.” Funny thing is, those tests are given free by the church anyway. The quiz is designed to convert people to the religion by identifying personality flaws that Scientology can fix right up for you.

Ain’t that a kick in brain-washed head? Scientology is the damn Amway of religion.

Soon, they’ll make a Mega-movie with Scientology money starring Smith, Cruise and Holmes and a bunch of other brain dead celluloid wet farts. It will be about 2 Scientology cops. One black and ready for retirement, one white and crazy. They have to convert Katie Holmes, but she doesn’t make it easy. Soon, they succumb to an uneasy love for each other through the church. It’s gritty, full of action, edge of your seat suspense, forbidden romance and yet somehow worse then the usual butt-numbing Hollywood crapulence.

It seems to be the day for Will Smith news. In Saturday’s Daily Record, Smith discussed his feelings about the good in people, but stirred up some controversy with his thoughts on Hitler.

“Even Hitler didn’t wake up going, ‘let me do the most evil thing I can do today’,” said Smith. “I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was ‘good’.Stuff like that just needs reprogramming.”

What developed after that was that World Entertainment News Network released a story over their wire feed with the headline SMITH: ‘HITLER WAS A GOOD PERSON,’.

Then in response to Smith’s comment, Jan Winter of Page Six wrote:

“Will, you’ve broken our hearts. It’s you that needs reprogramming.”

Talk about taking something out of context and being irresponsible. He never said that Hitler was a good person. Poptherapy is on your side Will. We know what you meant.

Will Smith is the flavor of the month and as typically happens, some will use a name and twist a story in order to milk the current Hollywood Golden boy or girl for all they are worth.

How about this? When he actually says that “Hitler is a good person”, you know, when the words actually come out of his mouth, then you can accuse him of it. Sound good?

Here’s the trailer for the new Will Smith Super Hero flick that’s been making the rounds online. It looks sweet!!! Of course, I’m a sucker for unusual Super Hero movies. Looks like his character has plenty of attitude and the premise appears to be that he’s a washed up or possibly irresponsible hero trying to make a comeback.

I especially like the bit with the youtube video of him trying to save the beached whale by throwing it into the ocean and right into a sailboat.

Great stuff. Will Smith continues to be Hollywood gold. If this is half as good as it looks, I’m sure he’ll get a sequel or two out of it. It’s set to debut July 2nd.

Enjoy.

Could anyone have imagined that when some TV producer decided to give a rapper nicknamed the Fresh Prince his own sitcom that he would go on to become one of the world’s biggest action stars? Not even Will Smith could have thought up that unlikely scenario but it’s precisely what happened to the player from the east coast with dreams of music and movie stardom. But even hit movies and songs fade with time. You know that you have really made it into the pop culture when Hollywood asks you to leave your handprints in the pavement outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and for Will Smith that is exactly what happened to him today.

Hundreds of Smith’s fans came out for the event as well as one surprise pal by the name of Tom Cruise. “I just love his commitment, I didn’t know he was going to be here today, when he says he’s somebody’s friend he doesn’t take that lightly, he really means it, he shows up and works hard and he makes me want to work hard and be better so I appreciate the inspiration,” Smith told the onlookers.

The “Ali”, “Independence Day” and “Men in Black” star then kneeled down and pressed his two palms into freshly laid cement before lifting them back up and grinning for the assembled cameras. Will’s new movie “I Am Legend” opens this week and has him playing hero in a world without people and surrounded by monstrous mutations.

“It inspires me when I look around and I see all of you coming out here to support me and honour my family like this,” Smith addressed the crowd as they cheered him on. “It makes me feel like I’m not doing enough, it makes me feel like to have all of this I’ve gotta change the world.”

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is also working on an update of “The Karate Kid” and just finished shooting a movie where he plays a fallen superhero opposite Charlize Theron.

We’ve all had that friend who spoils the ending of movies for you, because they just can’t shut up. But what about when the star of the movie itself spoils the ending for you? Probably less people will see the movie. That won’t make the movie company happy.

Not a very smooth move by the Fresh Prince.

Speaking at a Tokyo news conference, Smith inadvertently revealed the plot and had the co-producer and co-screenwriter shouting: “Don’t give away the ending!”

It was out of the bag at that point. The press handlers asked all present to keep the ending a secret, so as not to spoil it for viewers.

Will Smith sure knows how to sell a movie. If the movie tanks, I wonder if they can sue him?

Jada Pinkett Smith donated $1 million to her high school alma mater. Pinkett Smith attended the Baltimore School for the Arts with classmate Tupac Shakur. She asked that its new theater be dedicated to Shakur, who was shot to death in 1996.

Donald Hicken, head of the school’s theater department said “It means a lot when you’re a teacher and your most famous alumnus comes back to give a donation.” Hicken, Jada’s former music teacher and head of the department since its founding in 1980 continued, “It really says a lot to the community that the school matters in people’s lives.”

The Will and Jada Smith Family Foundation, which had previously given $112,500 to the school, is based in Baltimore. The donation will be used for expansion and renovation of the existing structure. The school’s new theater will be named for Pinkett Smith.

Pinkett Smith, 35, was last seen on screen in 2004’s “Collateral”. She is married to Will Smith, who stars in “The Pursuit of Happyness” with the couple’s 8-year-old son, Jaden.

The school will increase its enrollment from 316 to 375 students once a $30 million expansion program is finished in late 2007.

The actress was moved by the school’s advances since she graduated, said Karen Banfield Evans, executive director of the Smith Family Foundation, and Pinkett Smith’s aunt.

The theater will be named for Shakur because of the friendship that Pinkett Smith and Shakur developed at the school. The rapper was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas.

The actress has appeared along side her husband Will in “Ali” and she was the voice of the hippo Gloria in the animated film “Madagascar.”

“The Pursuit of Happyness,” starring Will Smith, opens in theaters Friday December 18^th 2006.

Your Therapy:

Yo, this is great deed and it’s great to see people giving back to the community. It doesn’t hurt to promote your own project at the same time. A million dollars of publicity might help Will’s new joint blow up proper.

I don’t know why they won’t name the theater for my brother Tupac but the “Pinkett Smith Theatre” sounds good too.
