Jaden Smith just put a shiny smile on his famous mother’s face. In honor of her 45th birthday, Jada Pinkett Smith’s 18-year-old son copped her a gold-plated grill, which she proudly showed off on Twitter.

t was a token of appreciation from The Get Down star, who recently praised his superstar parents in an Interview cover story.
“My parents are definitely my biggest role models,” he said. “And that’s where me and Willow both pull all of our inspiration from to change the world. It all comes from a concept of affecting the world in a positive way and leaving it better than it was than when we came.
“I feel like that enters into all types of different areas because there are so many different outlets that life has to offer for us,” he continued. “That goes into technology, into music. That goes into science, into spirituality, into education.”
For Mother’s Day this year, Jaden also celebrated his mom, along with his dad Will Smith, sister Willow, and their stepbrother Trey.
“I wouldn’t be the way that I am without you,” Jaden said at the time. “There’s no way for me to express to you or anybody how I truly feel about you because it’s not a feeling, it’s the living of my life that’s an expression of you. I’m really like a painting or movie that you have made somehow.”
Netflix has given the go ahead to the long-delayed remake of Spike Lee’s 1986 cult classic She’s Gotta Have It. According to published reports, the streaming channel has put in a 10-episode order, which they hope to have ready for a fall 2017 debut. Lee will direct all 10 episodes, while his wife, who Lee says came came up with the idea to turn the film into a move. Lee willl also act as executive producer.over the series.
She’s Gotta Have It was Spike’s first film and revolved around protagonist Nola Darling, a sexually liberated artist who has her hands full juggling three lovers. The film was made for less than $100,000, but went on to gross over $8,000,000 at the domestic box office. It was also one of the first mainstream films to be slapped with an X rating by the Motion Picture Association of America.
No word whether the series will be just as provocative, but I’m personally hoping it will. I’m also hoping my favorite actress, Nicole Beharie, is cast in the lead role. From the moment I heard about the remake back in 2014, I knew this would be an excellent vehicle for Nicole to shine on her own. I’m also pretty desperate to see her back on my TV screen every week. Here’s hoping the Lees and Netflix really put some thought into the casting of Nola.
She has a type...Congratulations are in order for Nipsey Hussle and Lauren London. The couple has announced the arrival of their son, Kross, who was born last month.
