Granted I dont know him from a can of paint, but he seems so clean cut. Even when he talks about his teenaged years he was that "kid that everyone loved". Before he was "Wil Smith" he was "Fresh Prince". He got that from one of his teachers. How hot is that? She said he carried himself like royalty....and in the 80's / 90's everything that was hot was "fresh" (or in my neck of the woods "dope"), hence Fresh Prince (and DJ Jazzy Jef) were born.

I've always liked him...mainly because he was funny, but also because he was decent to listen to (his music).

Re: Prayer request for Will Smith

This really did surprise me - he's not perfect, but I didn't think he would be an alcoholic.

I'm pretty sure it's all about his new movie.

Re: Prayer request for Will Smith-possibly his mov

ok. now i am going to be crass and pretty much most here will just be mad at me but I cant help myself.

Im sorry, but while praying for anyone is a good thing, I honestly would rather hear about someones neighbor that has a drinking problem instead of some poor rich movie star that is knocking down a cool 25 million per picture.

I cant help myself, these people live debauched lives, apparantly drugs alcohol and depravity are their stock in trade.

tell me about someone who has walked away from that and trying to live for God and I will be as glad for them as I am for my next door neighbor that found God.

But please, I honestly dont care to hear what poor little darling has a drug problem in hollywierd.

As for Will Smith, I think he is pretty level headed actually. I seriously doubt he has a drinking problem. but if he does, he has enough $$$ to buy himself out of it.


how is that for crass and uncareing?

Were we the only ones who found delight in dropping prayer request cards in the offering plate for celebrities and their marriages and issues, and laughing while they were read from the pulpit?

Ferd, I was going to write something very similar. Thanks for writing what I am sure a bunch of people are thinking.

I took a walk and went into some shops on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills last weekend, really when we walked back to the car, I felt dirty. (Except for my foray into the Omega watch shop).

To show the other side of the picture my brother-in-law has been in the industry for over 40 years. One of our best friends was a head writer of some fame. He wrote for Steve Allen, Bob Hope, and MANY others I could name. (even 3 presidents). He used to take me when I was a teenager to hear some of this worlds greatest jazz musicians. He'd keep a tight rein on me because of my dad. Through him I had the opportunity to meet many musicians and 'stars'.

When he decided he'd had enough of this world he killed himself. I'd give a lot to have another chance to talk with him.

These people may have $$$$ we don't have but the one thing they don't have much of is a witness because people have the attitude that just because many are jerks and rich they don't deserve one.........Christ came for the up-and-out too.

I think I will.

I don't care if Brittany Spears is a bad mom. I don't care if she is hooked on pain killers or goes to the hospital nekked or kisses Madonna. I don't even care that she lost Justin Timberlake as a boyfriend because she didn't know who Yoko Ono is. I wish I didn't know who Yoko Ono is. the fact that I know she fancies herself as a pretty sharp Haikou writer makes me want to puke!

the only thing I care about Brittany Spears is that she is from Louisiana. I HATE that fact. It makes me sick to my stomach because I am from Louisiana and all we are really known for is Brittany Spears and the Jena 6. Good grief. why cant she be Oklahoma trailer trash? why cant she be from California or some other place where idiots seem to congregate?

I don't care about that little trollop Lindsey Lohan. I don't care if she likes both boys and girls. I don't care if she drinks too much or takes dope. I just don't care. I can tell you I don't want my kids even knowing that there is such a thing as a Lindsey Lohan. That's for sure. I hate the fact that I know this stuff but if you turn on the radio you get stupid "news" blurbs that tell you this junk. good grief. Foxnews even tells me about these idiots.

I don't care who in hollywierd is sleeping with whom. I don't care if Brangelena just adopted a kid from Outer Mongolia with 4 arms growing out of its forehead. I don't care if Sean Penn wrote some letter to God or Jesus or George Bush or the DNC. I simply don't care.

***Note to Sean**** YOUR AN ACTOR I don't care what you think about pretty much ANYTHING! Just because you have decided to take yourself seriously and wear those stupid pinhead glasses and speak with some supercilious diction doesn't mean the rest of us take you anymore seriously than we do that retard SAM you played. Speaking of Sam. that was a great roll. I like movies and that was a good one.

So with all the advice you've been dishing out, how about you take this advice. SHUT UP AND ACT!

And I don't care about Charlie Sean and that tramp ex-wife of his what's her face? Good grief girl, you married a guy who's own father had him locked up because he was about to kill himself with drugs! He bragged about his romps with hookers and porn stars! Don't get all freaked out when he turns out to not be a nice guy! GET A LIFE AND DON'T TELL ME ABOUT IT!

IDONTCARE!!!!!!!!


Hey look, I like a good movie as much as the next guy. I watch a little TV from time to time. sometimes I even turn off Foodnetwork or the History Channel and actually watch something on regular television. But I don't care what these people do in their real lives. In fact I really wish they didn't have real lives at all. We should lock them all up in jail cells and only let them out to ACT.

And another thing. All you regular Jane's and Jo's out there that buy those stupid magazines dedicated to the worship of these idiots. SHAME ON YOU! you should be sent away to a deserted island and forced to live off banana's and coconut water. you people make me sick!

If I never walk into a grocery store and see some stupid magazine listing which Actresses have cellulite on their butts again it will be too soon!

There. I feel better. how about you emailing this to 10 of your best friends. finally something that makes sense on the internet.
