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."

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.

Why Will Smith Gets Shy During Love Scenes

He's tackled everything from angry aliens to rowdy robots with aplomb, but there's one thing that still makes Will Smith uneasy: Love scenes.
"My grandmother was really firm about how men are supposed to treat women," the actor said Friday at a press junket for his new drama Seven Pounds. "So for me, my worst nightmare is for an actress to ... feel like I'm taking this opportunity to get a little quickie feel – you know, some legal cheating going on!"
"I just need, specifically women, to feel comfortable around me," he added. "I just don't want to feel like I'm that dude."
But when Smith's shyness threatened to spill into his romantic moments with Seven Pounds costar Rosario Dawson, his wife Jada had to step in.

In response to Jada's question – what does he love about marriage? – Will spoke of the power of love as a connective force.
"The truth about life is that we're all alone," he said. "But when somebody loves you that experience is shared. Love is the only real connective tissue that allows you to not live and die by yourself."
