Standing Strong
With the spotlight intently focused on their marriage, Jada debunks rampant rumors of a possible split. "Every year, one celebrity couple is under the microscope," she tells French magazine Gala. "This year, unluckily, it's us…Will and I know the truth. We're waiting peacefully for the storm to blow over."
Back in 'Black'
Nearly 15 years after Men in Black dominated the box office, Smith returns to his extra-terrestrial crime-fighting roots in Men in Black 3, the third installment of the blockbuster franchise, which also stars Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin.
