Jay-Z Visits Will Smith on Set of New Movie

Will Smith along with Co-Star Tommy Lee Jones were in Manhattan on Sunday filming the third instalment of the ‘Men in Black’ franchise. Friend and fellow rapper Jay-Z decided to pay Smith a visit during the shoot. The mega mogul spent the day intently watching as scenes were being filmed. The two were seen sharing laughs and chatting between takes.  

It has been rumoured that the Smiths' and Jay-Z are working on a number of projects together, including a possible remake of the Broadway classic Annie. The remake is said to be starring Smiths' own daughter Willow. This would be the second time Jay-Z will be working with Willow Smith since he helped her work on last year’s single ‘Whip My Hair’.

Rihanna's Mini-Me In The Making?

It’s been said that Willow Smith is trying to be like Rihanna ever since her hit single “Whip my hair”. The latest hairstyle she rocked looks a lot like the edgy side swept due hairstyle Rihanna had last year at met Gala. So is Willow really swagger jacking Rihanna’s bold style? 

Willow and Rihanna share the same stylist (Maria Haem). She tells Hollywoodlife.com “Willow is definitely inspired by Rihanna’s edgy and outspoken look”. It’s just simply a tale of a little girl looking up to someone with style, boldness and wonderful music. 

Since they both have the same stylist and both have contracts with Jay-Z label ROC Nation there will always be some similarities between these two fashion icons. While some people have their opinion about Willow trying to be like Rihanna others simply believe that Rihanna is just someone she looks up to. As Willow gets older and mature we all know she will take the fashion and music industry by storm and then someone will look up to her.

JAY-Z Decoded

Jay-Z signed copies of his hot-selling memoir Decoded at Barnes & Noble on 5th Avenue in New York City earlier today. Wearing dark-framed eyeglasses and a button-up shirt, the music impresario smiled as he gave his autograph and took photos for fans who purchased the book.

Jay recently shared his thoughts on hip-hop stars such as Lil Wayne and T.I. whose decisions have cost them time behind bars. “Once you become a so-called celebrity, your life or your decisions don’t stop. You have to make smarter decisions, because you’ve grown up living your life a certain way,” he told theAP. “Most people grow up and just smoke weed. … You just smoke weed and think, ‘OK, I’ll keep weed in my pocket.’ Now that you’re a celebrity it’s a whole different sort of thing. … Celebrities need to be conscious and know who they are, because the same choices they made as a civilian will cost them years as a celebrity.”

Jay Z Speaks on Kanye West!

Speaking at the New York Public Library to promote his book, Decoded, Jay-Z offered his two cents on the Kanye West/George W. Bush controversy. He stands by West and his original statement against Bush's treatment of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

"I think what Kanye went through was, he himself became that, over the Taylor Swift incident," Jay said. "People said he was racist. And he’s not a racist person, so it made him reflect on the comments that he made. But I 100 percent agreed with the comments that he made, because again--it felt like it was being done to black people."
"Like, all you saw on the news was black people on the news with help signs and all this stuff, and then you have this picture of the commander in chief, who we all rely on, just flying by," the rapper continued. "It’s like, 'What is that?' If that had happened anywhere else besides New Orleans, would the response (have) been so slow? Would Bush (have) been on the ground? You have to ask these sort of questions. Just the fact that he thinks that the worst thing that happened to him is Kanye saying something about him. Like, what? That alone shows you where his mind is. Are you kidding me?"
