Critics Slam Will Smith for Using His Film ‘After Earth’ to Promote Scientology
Will Smith’s precocious daughter, Willow, 12, once famously said school was not a top priority for her. But just days later, the “Whip My Hair” singer revealed her struggle with illiteracy when she couldn’t pronounce the word ‘congratulates’ during an appearance on BET’s 106 & Park.
In an interview with Vulture, Will Smith now says Willow sees the importance of going to school and hanging out with her friends.
Willow was spotted hanging out with friends in NYC on Thursday, May 30, after spending the morning helping her father and brother, Jaden Smith, promote their new flick “After Earth”.

Celebs Out & About: Justin Bieber, Kanye West, A$AP Rocky, Willow Smith, Jaden Smith
Not to be outdone by troubled music producer Kanye West and his odd collection of face masks, pop idol Justin Bieber wore a trendy gas mask during a stop at the appropriate named Acne Studios in London today. Celebrity fashion blog Upscale Hype suggests that Kanye is starting a new fashion trend with his face masks. West was seen wearing a Maison Martin Margiela crystal mask in Atlantic City, NJ, and a red ski mask in Paris, France last week. And rapper A$AP Rocky donned a black ski mask at the Y-3 Fall/Winter 2013 show during New York Fashion Week. It remains to be seen if the face mask fad catches on with Kanye’s fans.
Jada Pinkett-Smith and daughter Willow Smith at NY Fashion Week
If Jada Pinkett-Smith is upset about her husband “vacationing” with his rumored lover, actor Duane Martin, you couldn’t tell by the look on her face. But that could be because her milk isn’t clean either. If you recall I told you that Jada once sent a jet for a female friend of mine to join her in Aspen, CO. But my friend politely declined her invitation. Apparently Jada has a type. My friend (who is as straight as an arrow) and Jada look like they could be siblings. The 41-year-old actress and part-time rock singer attended the Michael Kors fashion show with her daughter Willow Smith, 12, today. The Kors show is part of Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.
