Jada Pinkett Smith Offers Racy Marriage Advice
Originally posted 06/17/2009 12:00PM
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been married for more than 11 years – a lifetime by Hollywood standards.
So what's the secret to their long-lasting romance? "Nice outfits and high heels!" Jada, 37, tells the new issue of Redbook.
But that's just part of it. Jada who stars in the new TNT series HawthoRNe, also lists "talking" and "making time" as important elements of a relationship.
As for what to do during that time alone, the actress offers some racy advice. "[Go for] a drive – and then pull over on the side of the road! Think of places outside that are comfortable to have sex. Does he have access to his office? Have a fantasy date. Be his secretary!"
After reading the interview, friends of the Smiths may think twice before inviting the couple over. "Be sneaky," she adds, before listing more places for quickies. "Your girlfriend's house at a party. The bathroom! A guest bedroom! Just switch it up. Anything like that can keep it going. Anything it takes to keep the flame alive."

Will & Jada Offer Support for Chris Brown & Rihanna
Originally posted 02/13/2009 03:00PM
Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith say they'll do anything for Chris Brown and Rihanna – even if it just means leaving them alone.
"Jada and I reached out to both of them," Smith, 40, tells Extra. "If it's help they need, then let's get it right."
Smith says that the best support right now may be to step back. Brown, 19, is under police investigation in Los Angeles for allegedly beating Rihanna, 20, early last Sunday morning.
"This is a time where they need to be left alone and if they have things they need to work out, work it out," Smith says, urging the public to wait until all the facts are in.

Jaden Smith Gets Acting Tips from Mom and Dad
Originally posted 12/10/2008 01:45PM
When Will Smith's 10-year-old son Jaden is not busy starring in Hollywood blockbuster films like The Day the Earth Stood Still, he enjoys doing addition, subtraction, and multiplication tables – his favorite subject in school.
"It's math," Jaden told PEOPLE at the New York premiere of Earth on Tuesday. Why math? "Because I'm good at it," he added.
Besides being a natural at tackling arithmetic, Jaden is already becoming a method actor and a professional at working a red carpet. While mom, Jada Pinkett Smith, and dad strolled down the carpet looking over his shoulder proudly, they let him do all the talking.
"You got to stay true to your character and you just got to be in the moment," Jaden said of his acting technique, a method he said he learned from his parents.

Jada Pinkett Smith Dishes on Her Diva-Less Family
Originally posted 11/24/2008 10:30AM
With the whole family in showbiz, Hollywood mom Jada Pinkett Smith says high maintenance isn't an option in her household.
Pinkett Smith, 37, has been married to funnyman Will Smith for 11 years, and their two kids, 10-year-old Jaden and 8-year-old Willow, already have a few movie credits under their belts. Jaden performed alongside dad in The Pursuit of Happyness, while Willow voiced the character of Baby Gloria in Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Fittingly, Pinkett Smith starred as the older version – Gloria.
But Pinkett Smith says her family is simply doing what they love.
"Everybody just enjoys doing what they do," she says in an exclusive chat with PEOPLE at the London premiere of the Madagascar sequel. "We're all really happy, so we just do it."
She adds: "Thank goodness in my family we don't allow divas."
