Will Smith’s tax returns were analyzed and broken down by Roger Friedman of FOX News. He reports Smith gave $1.3 million in charitable donations this year. The largest amounted to a sum of $250,000 given to the Yesha Ministries of Philadelphia. $200,000 went to a Christian ministry and, even though Smith maintains he’s not a Scientologist, gave a combined $122,500 to three Scientology fronts: $67,500 went to the New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Fund, $50,000 went to the Celebrity Center in Hollywood and $5,000 went to ABLE.

Despite this sizable contribution, no one knows for sure whether or not Smith is a closet Scientologist and has pyjama parties with Tom Cruise, but no one knows if Smith drives around LA killing hobos and stuffing them in his trunk either. I’m just saying we shouldn’t make any assumptions until we see the dried blood and used claw hammer. Afterall, no body, no crime. Heh heh heh. Note to self: Clean out trunk.

Will Smith’s son Jaden, 10, has been cast as the next Daniel Larusso in Hollywood’s latest attempt at raping my childhood, a remake of The Karate Kid. Variety reports:

The script is being written by Chris Murphy, and the film will shoot next year in Beijing and other cities. While the new film will be set in that exotic locale, it will borrow elements of the original plot, wherein a bullied youth learns to stand up for himself with the help of an eccentric mentor.

Jaden is more than qualified because as stated, Smith is a martial arts practioner. Even though he’s 10. And Ralph Macchio’s character was 16. Is this going to be like The Karate Kid at all? The most bullies do in fourth grade is call you names. Using karate to kick their asses might be a little much. Although… breaking their femurs would probably get them to stop calling you “doodiehead.” Okay, I changed my mind. This could work.

Steven Spielberg and Will Smith are currently in talks to remake Chan Wook-Park’s masterpiece, OldBoy, the best installment in his revenge triology. Spielberg’s Dreamworks is currently negotiating for the remake rights. Variety reports:

Spielberg had been looking for an opportunity to make a film with Smith, who would play the kidnapped man if all the pieces fall into place. Spielberg is looking for a writer to begin the development process.

Hollywood sucks. They’ll bastardize this film. Writers will probably water this down for America and change the story to a man seeking revenge after being imprisoned for 15 years because the gun he gave away was used in a robbery-homicide involving some other guy’s daughter, completely eliminating the central theme of incest. Yay for Hollywood! I can’t wait!

The internetz has long been flooded with rumors of Will Smith being a closeted homosexual and using his marriage with Jada Pinkett to cover it up. His dalliances with Scientology, of which another perceived to be gay actor is the figurehead of, hasn’t helped convince people otherwise. Now a “notorious Hollywood Madame,” tells Ian Halperin that after much reassurance, Will Smith placed an order through her for a man.

According to a notorious Hollywood Madame, Smith was a client of hers for years before she packed up shop and moved her operation to Manhattan earlier this year. She remembers the first time she ever spoke with Smith. “I had to reassure him over and over that I could guarantee discretion,” she said. “Once I convinced him I could, he placed his order. It was for a man. I had 14 women working for me and two guys. You’d be surprised at how many Hollywood stars requested the services of the guys.”

Between you and me, this Madame might have the wrong definition of discretion. Webster’s defines it as the “ability to make responsible decisions.” She defines it as “fuck you celebrity, I’m going to the media or Ian Halperin.” Regardless, Will Smith probably didn’t see this coming back to bite him in the ass or rather, munch his ass out. Whichever he’s into. When asked for comment, Will Smith snapped his fingers in the air, shook his head and said, “Uh-uh sista, that ho is a dirty lya.”

The July 4th weekend has been regularly dominated by Will Smith blockbusters beginning with Independence Day. So it is not surprising that Will Smith continued his reign this weekend as people ignored the crappy reviews and flocked to Hancock which earned $66 million and first place at the box office.

However, what was surprising this Fourth of July weekend was Smith’s Hancock was going up against his daughter, Willow’s, movie, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. A film about dolls or something which only made it to 8th place at the box office with $3.6 million. A crushing defeat. It’s said that when the Monday morning numbers came out, Will Smith slapped the back of his daughter’s head, causing her to spit out her Apple Jacks, while yelling out, “LOL PWNED!”

Best quote of the day from NYMag: While it’s hard not to feel a little sorry for a seven-year old whose film career is already an irreparable failure, one would think that even a second grader should be wise enough not to bet against Will Smith on the Fourth of July.

Seth Rogen is currently penning and will most likely star as the titular character in the film adaptation of The Green Hornet set to be released in summer 2010. Although a director has yet to be chosen, executives already have a few ideas on who should play Kato, a role made famous by Bruce Lee. A tipster wrote to AAM.

This week is the big Licensing Show in NY.

I can’t tell you what industry I’m in, but we met with a studio this week to discuss possible licensed products for an upcoming Green Hornet film. Now, I must preface this by saying the film is still being written, so things can change, but what I’m relating to you is what was presented to a group of 12 of us (from several different companies) by the studio executives.

The Green Hornet will star Seth Rogan as The Green Hornet. He will be totally inept, a bit like Inspector Cleuso . Kato will actually be the hero, but he saves everyone, including The Green Hornet, without TGH ever realizing its not he himself doing it.

So this is where it gets interesting, I will refer to the executives as executive 1 and 2, and the potential licensors as PL 1, 2, and 3:

PL1: So who would play Kato?

Executive1: We’re thinking a Chinese actor, possibly Rain.

PL2: Rain isn’t Chinese.

Executive1: No, I think he is (looks at Executive2 who is nodding in agreement)

PL2: No, I’m actually positive he isn’t. He’s Korean.

Executive2: Well, he’s one of those. That’s just one option.

Executive1: The other option is, get ready, Will Smith!

PL3: Will Smith? Will Smith isn’t Asian.

Executive1: (Bursting with excitement) I know, that’s the twist!

The meeting then went one to discuss an upcoming live action / CGI Smurf movie involving an interdimensional portal and an abusive Father.

The writer’s strike has really messed up Hollywood.

Just wanted to share that.

Sure, they could stay true to the popular tv show and get an Asian actor to play the part, but, dude, Will Smith. He’s, like, so totally dreamy and ladies love him. He’ll revitalize Kato. They can change his back story as well. Instead of Britt Reid aka Green Hornet saving him in the “Far East”, he could save him from an inner city gang. Most likely in Compton. It’ll be so touching. Why didn’t anyone think of this before? They should do this to all movies. Like, that Sex and the City movie should have starred Britney Spears and instead of wearing designer clothes and talking about sex, they should have just filmed her sitting, eating KFC, scratching her ass and burping. What a twist!

The new issue of Radar Magazine claims that Will Smith, Jada Pinkett and Kimora Lee Simmons are the newest celebrity members of Scientology. A big win for the zany group of alien worshipers because they’ve been aiming for more African American members (they opened up a center in Harlem in 2003) and as you may have noticed, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett are black. They’re hoping that by having big African American stars they’ll convince other African Americans that the church isn’t only a place for crazy white people. It’s a place for crazy black people too!

In January, Smith was rumored to have given crew members a card good for a free personality test at the local Scientology center for a wrap present. Of course, Smith’s reps deny any affiliation, but sources insist the two are becoming more and more involved in the church.

“It’s not so much that anyone is upset that Will is becoming a Scientologist,” the source added after seeing a copy of the nine-page Radar piece. “It’s that as he becomes more involved, you’d think he’d sort of help fly the flag with Tom (Cruise), who seems to only get a bad rap for it, while Will does this and comes through just fine.”

I think a good way to increase African Americans membership would be to rent a huge, flashing billboard in the middle of Compton that says, “Scientology loves black peoples.” If they really want it to be effective, they should replace “black peoples” with the N word. Try it Scientology. The results may surprise you.

I mean, from a height perspective, it would just work better, doncha think?

Tom, Katie, Will and Jada all attended the very first annual Black Women in Hollywood luncheon on Thursday.

And while I’m all about recognizing the work of black women in Hollywood, I also think the surest way to make such an event not about black women in Hollywood is to have Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise there. I mean, I guess it means people like me are writing about it, but, in all honesty, I saw these pics of Tom & Katie and thought to myself, “Hm, I want to use these pictures. Now I just have to figure out a way to involve black people, too, or I’ll take shit for writing about a Black Women in Hollywood luncheon while running a photo of Tom Cruise.” But you know what? That’s what everyone is going to do.

Thoughts?
