Ron Hubbard himself is teaching Scientology 101? The school, set to open in September amid rumors that it uses Scientologist-developed teaching methods, is being funded on the Smiths' dime and should be subject to the Smiths' beliefs.http://www.newser.com/story/31264/so-what-if-will-smiths-school-preaches-scientology.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 01 Jul 2008 14:14:46 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/31337/people-dont-like-you-hancock.html?refid=rss_all_defaultEveryone wants to like Hancock . The idea of a slovenly, booze-swilling superhero screwup is undeniably priceless. But “the finished product is so poorly conceived and misguided that even Will Smith… can't save it,” writes Claudia Puig of USA Today . The movie starts out irreverent and fun, then veers sharply into a melodrama “trying to be a heavier, larger-than-life romance with historical, spiritual, and sci-fi implications."http://www.newser.com/story/31337/people-dont-like-you-hancock.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 01 Jul 2008 14:14:46 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/19774/will-smith-wins-libel-suit-over-hitler-slur.html?refid=rss_all_defaultA London news agency must pay undisclosed damages and apologize to Will Smith for publishing a story that erroneously quoted the actor as saying Adolf Hitler was a “good person.” E! Online reports that the World Entertainment News Network picked up and greatly distorted quotes from Smith’s interview with Scotland’s Daily Record to create its gossip piece, which received worldwide media attention.http://www.newser.com/story/19774/will-smith-wins-libel-suit-over-hitler-slur.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 01 Jul 2008 16:30:41 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/14879/smith-too-jiggy-with-hitler-say-irate-jews.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWill Smith finds himself in some hot water with the Jewish Defense League after telling a Scottish newspaper that Hitler didn't mean to do evil, but rather, using "a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good.'" The JDL denounced Smith's remark as "ignorant, detestable, and offensive," while the not-so-Fresh Prince quickly backtracked on the "ludicrous misinterpretation," TMZ reports.http://www.newser.com/story/14879/smith-too-jiggy-with-hitler-say-irate-jews.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 01 Jul 2008 16:30:41 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/14334/legend-science-a-little-shaky.html?refid=rss_all_defaultA man-made virus has turned people into mutants and killed off the rest. Downtown New York City looks like a jungle, and the only man left on the planet is trying to reverse the plague using his immune blood. So how realistic is the premise of Will Smith’s new blockbuster I Am Legend? Surprise! Not very, experts tell Popular Mechanics .http://www.newser.com/story/14334/legend-science-a-little-shaky.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 01 Jul 2008 16:30:41 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/14059/smith-carries-legend.html?refid=rss_all_defaultI Am Legend , a tale of the last man on Earth, who, through some freak of immunity, avoids a killer virus, isn't a perfect film. But despite its lack of surprises and its ending, which feels like "a studio-sanctioned reshoot," writes Chicago Tribune critic Michael Phillips, "you’re willing to cut the movie a break."http://www.newser.com/story/14059/smith-carries-legend.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 01 Jul 2008 16:30:41 CDT
