Jada calls the Oscar incident “The holy joke” and “The holy slap”.
During a promotional tour for her memoirs, Jada Pinkett-Smith, who is already making headlines by claiming that she and Will have been separated for seven years, gave some strange explanations on the subject during her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
"Worthy" by @jadapsmith is stirring up a lot of conversation and she's setting the record straight on her relationship with Will Smith.
Questioned by Stephen Colbert (from a distance, since Colbert is on COVID protocol) Jada was keen to correct her comments about her relationship with her husband, Will Smith, revealing a relationship perhaps more complex than first imagined when she first revealed it.
“For my own healing I just call us life partners, but he’s my dude,” she said.

Then, Jada says she’s very surprised that this is getting so much attention, and clarifies why she and Will Smith are separated… but together.
“I came into my mariage with Will so young and so all of the idealism that I had about husband and mariage […],” she adds.
The star claims that it was after years of therapy that she questioned her relationship, and the fact that at 26, she felt, it was very young to get married:
“Learning to break down [through therapy] all of those romanticized fantasies that I came into this marriage with and really learning to have acceptance for the reality of what it is.”
WennCover
When asked by Colbert why they had waited until now to announce their separation, Jada said that before then, she simply wasn’t ready to do so:
“I wasn’t ready. Look, consciously uncoupling is a very difficult thing, right? Do I really want to be divorced, do I want to separated? Then the Oscar cames and it’s crazy like how intense event can brings people together because once the Oscars happened Will and I got closer.”
CaptureABC
The intense events of the Oscars made things a little clearer for Jada, who says the events of the Oscars were a real eye-opener for her. In fact, she now calls Chris Rock’s joke about her hair “The holy joke” and the slap Will gave Rock “The holy slap”!
CaptureABC
“I didn’t go at the Oscars neccessarly as Will’s wife but when the event occurred, I knew in that moment that I wasn’t gonna leave his side, and I knew at that moment that I didn’t go to that theater as his wife but I was leaving as his wife and I was going to stand by his side no matter what.”
But what does Will think of all this?

Well…Will Smith seems to support Jada in everything she says, claiming that reading the book sort of woke him up.
The actor seems to feel intense compassion for his wife, as he wrote her a letter, excerpts of which were revealed during an interview with Jada on On Purpose with Jay Shetty.
“You are one of one, a rare blend of power and delicate sensitivity. I know it wasn’t easy to excavate the depths in that way. I applaud and honor you. If I had read this book 30 years ago, I definitely would have hugged you more.”
A campaign representative explained that they wanted to inject their message directly into the heart of GOP primary coverage since, in their view, Republicans don’t all think the same.
“Republicans can’t even agree on a Speaker of the House, so clearly, not every Republican thinks the same,” a campaign rep explained to Fox News!

“We will be leveraging the fact that Republicans can sometimes be our best messengers,” he added.
ON THE BANDWAGON: "There’s very little ‘truth’ happening on TruthSocial, but at least now it’ll be a little fun," the Biden campaign tells Fox News Digital. https://t.co/VRQLBU9mDIpic.twitter.com/dEkutTZG9O
The campaign also used as its profile picture the photo of Biden’s red-eyed face that was initially used, and called Dark Brandon, by MAGA (Trump’s biggest fans), claiming that Biden was a demonic being, but which has since become a symbol used by Joe Biden fans when Biden makes a good move, and of course, picked up and used brilliantly by his election campaign team in addition to having added the famous phrase: “Malarkey ends here.”!

“There’s very little truth happening on TruthSocial, but at least now it’ll be a little fun!” a Biden campaign aide also told Fox News Digital.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s campaign team seems well prepared, and so much the better, as the United States will soon find itself in the midst of the most chaotic election campaign the country has ever seen.
Britney Spears started dancing again in an Instagram video… with knives… again!
The star accompanied the video with an enigmatic message:
“Come over don’t worry I have such a warm inviting loving home with these FAKE knives!!!”
https://www.instagram.com/p/Cyhb7qjxXU1/?hl=en
This is the second time the singer has posted such a video on her Instagram account, in just a few weeks.

The first time, it sparked a lot of controversy and concern even among her fans, leading to a brief visit by the Los Angeles Police Department to her residence, following a request for a welfare check.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CxwuhztLkwt/?hl=en
The star had to explain on Instagram that it wasn’t dangerous at all, as they were fake knives rented from a specialist store, insisting that she’d simply been inspired by Shakira’s latest performance at the MTV VMAs:
“I know I spooked everyone with the last post, but these are fake knives that my team rented from Hand Prop shop in LA. These are not real knives. No one needs to worry or call the police. I’m trying to imitate one of my favorite performers Shakira … a performance I was inspired by!!! Cheers to us bad girls who aren’t afraid to push boundaries and take risks.”

All eyes will certainly be on Britney Spears even more in the coming weeks, as the release of her memoir, A Women In Me, including explosive revelations about her relationship with Justin Timberlake, already created a media frenzy.

AMC has unveiled a short but highly anticipated trailer for The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, a new spin-off from the original series, starring Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira).
The success of the main series has already led to various spin-offs, including Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: Dead City and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. But this new opus is certainly one of the most eagerly awaited among loyal fans of the series.
Remember that in episode 5 of The Walking Dead season 9, entitled What Comes After, Rick Grimes, played by Andrew Lincoln, makes a significant exit from the series. The episode is crucial in the series, as it marks Rick’s departure and sets the stage for the character’s journey in the planned feature films, which will eventually become The Ones Who Live.
AMC
Michonne’s decision to seek out Rick Grimes occurs in season 10, specifically in episode 13, entitled What We Become.
In this episode, Michonne, played by Danai Gurira, meets with a few strangers who claim to have information about Rick’s whereabouts. The strangers, Virgil and his family offer Michonne the chance to find weapons that could help her community, as well as the hope that she might be able to find Rick.
AMC
The two characters will finally reunite in the series, which will be offered in February 2024 on AMC and AMC+.
Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg, internationally recognized for her efforts against climate change, has once again been arrested, this time at an anti-oil and gas protest in London.
🚨 NEW: Greta Thunberg has just been detained protesting a Big Oil conference in London.
Thunberg was taken to a police van after being arrested outside the InterContinental London Park Lane during the “Oily Money Out” protest organized by Fossil Free London and Greenpeace on the sidelines of the opening day of the Energy Intelligence Forum 2023, in London, on October 17, 2023.

The arrest came minutes after her speech, and she criticized the fossil fuel industries.
“The world is drowning in fossil fuels,” she said.
Recall that Greta’s activism began in August 2018 when, at the age of 15, she started demonstrating outside the Swedish Parliament, calling for stronger action against climate change. She held a simple cardboard sign reading “School Strike for Climate”, and her solitary protest soon inspired others to join her in the “Fridays for the Future” movement.

Justin Timberlake, who had a high-profile relationship with Britney Spears from 1999 to 2002, is reportedly very worried about the upcoming release of the singer’s much-anticipated memoir, according to Page Six.
According to several sources, Timberlake is absolutely obsessed with the content of the book and the revelations included by the singer about their tumultuous relationship and break-up.
WennCover
But then TMZ dropped a bombshell and claimed that Britney reveals in her book that she had become pregnant with Justin’s child when both were 19, and that after much discussion, she had decided to have an abortion. A decision that would have haunted the singer for many years.

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake had a highly publicized love affair in the early 2000s. They first met as young actors on the TV show The Mickey Mouse Club, and later became one of the most important celebrity couples of their time.
But attention on the couple reached a frenzy when they separated in 2002… and this quickly led to much speculation, about possible infidelities, among other things.
Getty Images
After their break-up, Justin Timberlake came up with a song titled Cry Me a River and a video in which he seemed to depict a broken relationship and an unfaithful ex-girlfriend. Although Timberlake didn’t explicitly mention Britney Spears in the song, the lyrics and video led to much speculation that the song was about their relationship and break-up. This fueled the tabloids and increased public interest surrounding their split.
The drama surrounding their break-up certainly played an important role in the public’s perception of Britney Spears afterwards, as she went through personal difficulties that began around this time.

With a relationship like this, it’s easy to see why Timberlake is curious to know what Britney will reveal about their relationship…
