Did Willow Smith get her tongue pierced?

Did she or didn't she? A photo of 11-year old Willow Smith with an apparent tongue piercing has caused quite commotion. The Whip My Hair singer is seen in the photo alongside a friend with a lip piercing and appears to have gotten her tongue pierced. Gossip Cop reports that the jewelry isn't real, a source close to Willow/the Smith family says, "It isn't a piercing, it's a magnet. Just a young girl having fun with accessories."

What do you think? Is it real?

Also, Willow might be terribly young for a real piercing, but the tongue magnets can be very dangerous, since they're easy to swallow and can cause a perforated bowel. So what't the better option here?

Movie Review: Men in Black 3

Friday, I'm a guest at  Annalisa Crawford's blog  - that's exciting and I'm pleased she invited me for a chat. Please check it out. We have discussed movies before, and she found it funny that I do reviews for a town with no cinema. In keeping with that theme - here's a review I published in The Little Paper of San Saba:

Men in Black 3 is so sharp, so awesome, and so worthy of the full price I paid. Okay - I did bring snacks and a soda. We had to save money somewhere, but this movie is way too much fun. It's PG13 but only for alleged violence - they blow apart aliens with space guns - all totally pretend.

Once again Agent J (Will Smith) and Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) are battling evil alien scum. Unfortunately , Boris (The Animal- he hates that denotation) escapes from his lunar prison and vows to wreak death and destruction on Agent K (who shot off his arm) and the earth. There's a time travel issue, there's love (Agent K and Agent O (Emma Thompson in current day), and there's the salvation of the world at stake.

Who better than Will Smith to save us all and look totally cool while doing it? Men in Black 3 doesn't re-tread old stuff. There are fresh aliens, fresh jokes, and absolutely amazing new technical wizardry. My husband and I loved this movie. It's 100 minutes of sheer magic. During some time travel sequences, Josh Brolin plays the young Agent K. Holy Cow - he has a Tommy Lee Jones impression down pat - it's uncanny, and smart, and funny. I swear I saw Will Smith half-grin during one sequence. Even he knew this was sheer genius film-making.

We won't discuss plot - it's time travel to save the world. 'Nuff said. The acting is great, the effects are superb, and Men in Black 3 makes summer movie going very fun again. GO SEE IT.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith break up rumours are false

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith are still very much together. Will responds to the break up rumours via his publicist, saying, "Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumours circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact."

At the same time Jada's spokesperson Karynne Tencer commented on the rumour that Jada and Marc Anthony are involved, "All the rumours regarding Marc Anthony and Jada are false. Completely untrue. As for (the reports of a split between) Will and Jada, I'm not commenting on their personal life." A rep for Marc addressed the rumours as well, saying, "We unequivocally deny this. Enough is enough. There are families involved, children involved, friendships involved. This is NOT true."

The couple reportedly is deciding whether or not to take legal action against InTouch Weekly. A source told Radar Online, "Like any other A-list couple they're used to inaccurate reports sometimes, but when it comes to their marraige, they don't appreciate anyone demeaning it. They're good sports and they're laughing about it, but they have to talk about it with their legal counsel to protect themselves."

Will's son Trey, from his first marriage, had already addressed the break up rumours over Twitter. Tweeting, "Did #WillandJada split? No they did NOT split! False information!" and "Everyone can think what they want ...Even when it's not true #Lame"

Have Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith split?

According to a report in In Touch Weekly Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith have called it quits after 13 years of marriage. The Hollywood power couple has two children together, son Jaden, 13, and daughter Willow, 10. A spokesperson for Will, 42, and Jada, 39, has yet to comment on the magazine's claims.

When true, this would be Will's second marriage to end in divorce. He was married to Sheree Zampino from 1992 to 1995. Together they have a son, Willard Christopher Smith -known as Trey-, who's 18-years old.

Will and Jada first met in 1990, when she auditioned for the part of Will's on-screen persona in The Fresh Prince. She didn't get the part, because she was considered too short. Will and Jada married in 1997, in a ceremony attended by 100 guests near her hometown of Baltimore. At the time of the wedding she was two months pregnant with Jaden.

A reason to take the In Touch story with a grain of salt is the interview the couple gave to Architectural Digest, just one month ago, when there was no sign of any trouble whatsoever and happily posed for an intimate family photo shoot.
