Where Would Will Be Without Jada? | Jada Pinkett Smith
When Will Smith accepted his big honor (the modern master award) from presenter Tom Cruise at the Santa Barbara Film Festival this weekend, the Pursuit of Happyness star and SAG nominee took something extra with him onstage at the Arlington Theater – a big piece of tape stuck to the bottom of his shoe. Good thing wife and "good luck charm" Jada was there to take control of the situation: As Smith's shoe was magnified on a screen and the audience snickered, she rose from her seat, strode across the stage without saying a word (Smith asked, "What's wrong, baby?") and, in her lacy, black, knee-length dress, squatted in front of him and ripped off the tape. Then she left the way she came: silently. Hey, at least it wasn't toilet paper!
