Seems like Jada Pinkett Smith has a bit of a fuzzy memory when it comes to her love life.
On an episode of Red Table Talk Jada admitted to Will that she once dated his famous Fresh Prince co-star and long-time friend Alfonso Ribeiro. Jada stated “I actually think I dated Alfonso,” with Wil agreeing “Yes.”
Will elaborated on the statement saying “And he took you on a motorcycle or something?” Jada responded saying that she thinks so but she has dated a lot of people, therefore insinuating she did not know for sure, but she definitely knows that they went on a date.
Incidentally, Alfonso tells a bit of a different story. When Jada posted the clip from her Facebook series episode, Alfonso had to remind his former A Different World Co-guest star of what really happened. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor responded to Jada’s tweet stating that “Sorry Jada. Your memory is a little off. We went to lunch with your family when we both guest starred on A Different World the year before you became a regular.”
In response Jada stated “my fault Alf… I thought it was a date.”
Though Jada’s memory serves her wrong, Alfonso cannot deny his involvement in trying to hook both of his cast-mates up.
Will and Jada Married in 1997 right after Wills divorce from his first wife, Sheree Zampino, with whom he shares his oldest son Trey Smith, 25.

![[GOSSIP] Jada Pinkett Smith Recalls ‘Crying’ During Wedding to Will Smith: ‘I Never Wanted to be Married’](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/EAD4C1FC-198E-4424-B4FE-B13BF7A4FAB7.jpeg?resize=750%2C563&ssl=1)

A fairytale wedding wasn’t exactly what Jada Pinkett wanted like most women desire..
During Monday night’s (October 22) episode of Pinkett Smith’s Facebook Watch series, “Red Table Talk,” titled “Becoming Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” the actress sat down with mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones, husband Will, and daughter Willow Smith.
The 47-year-old actress revealed that she felt pressured into marrying husband Will Smith back in 1997 because she pregnant with the couple’s first child Jaden.
”It was almost as if my mother Adrienne Banfield Jones was like, “you have to get married,” Jada revealed. “I was under so much pressure being a young actress. Being young, pregnant… I just didn’t know what to do. But I knew I never wanted to get married”.
She went on to say “I was so upset that I had to have a wedding. I was so pissed… I went crying down the freaking aisle. I cried the whole way down the aisle!”
On the other hand, Will felt the opposite and couldn’t have been more happier to marry Pinkett Smith. “There wasn’t a day in my life that I wanted anything other than being married and having a family,” he said. “Literally 5 years old, I was picturing what my family would be.”
![[ENTERTAINMENT] SARAH SILVERMAN LET LOUIS C.K. JERK OFF WHILE SHE WATCHED](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/louis.png?resize=807%2C562&ssl=1)

The key to this story is consent.
Last November, Louis C.K. found himself at the center of a Time’s Up controversy. Multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct, alleging the comedian would ask them if he could masturbate in front of them. These rumors had been circulating for years, but finally picked up steam due to the current climate regarding sexual assault. Many fans said that since Louis asked the women before whipping it out, he was fine. Others pointed out that regardless, it’s inappropriate.
It was pointed out that since these women were all up and coming comedians, looking to get their big break. Louis is, obviously, a ridiculously successful comedy juggernaut. These women had to make a quick and important decision: do they let him jerk off in front of them or do they risk having their one shot at working with a comedy superstar shot down? The power dynamic is what makes this situation so icky.
https://twitter.com/TomiObaro/status/1052220584363511808
In an interview with Howard Stern, comedian Sarah Silverman talked about how years ago, she would let Louis jerk off in front of her. She says that since they were equals, there was no issues regarding power. She told Stern that he would ask her if it was okay, and sometimes she would say “Sure” while other times she’d turn him down.
After listening to Silverman’s interview, I’m a little conflicted. It’s still not great, but it’s on a different level than rapists like Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein (not that “levels” is the appropriate way to judge these sensitive issues). Silverman wasn’t traumatized by the event, and rejecting him wouldn’t have negatively impacted her career in any way. However, some of Louis’s victims took to Twitter to talk about Silverman’s reaction.
I get it, comedians reflect upon their lives, and in a weird way, I kind of applaud Sarah Silverman for sharing her less than perfect Me Too story, even though it certainly doesn’t fit with most of the accounts we’ve heard from survivors. While I firmly believe the original accusers were wronged, I don’t think Sarah Silverman was a victim — but that’s not to say that other women who’ve been equals regarding power can’t be victims. They most certainly, and unfortunately oftentimes, are.
This is a difficult topic to discuss, and I sincerely hope I haven’t offended anyone. I encourage everyone to share their thoughts on the whole Louis situation, as well as the incidents regarding Sarah Silverman, in the comments below.
![[ENTERTAINMENT] IS IT TIME TO FORGIVE JOHNNY DEPP? NOPE](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/depp.jpg?resize=920%2C584&ssl=1)

Johnny Depp was once one of the world’s most universally loved actors. His weird roles in Tim Burton’s films, along with him playing the swashbuckling pirate Jack Sparrow, offered something for everyone. However, as the decades have gone on, many have become tired of his schtick as the weird guy with his face covered in strange make up. “The Lone Ranger” and “Dark Shadows” seemed like he was trying to recapture the magic of his earlier works like “Edward Scissorhands” and “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Add to that his toxic and physically abusive relationship with actress Amber Heard, and it seems like it’s officially time to cancel the Johnny Depp party.
After filing for divorce from Depp in 2015, Heard requesting a temporary restraining order, claiming he was abusive. Not long after that, pictures of the actress’s badly bruised face went viral. Depp and his team, however, claimed his ex was trying to slander him and denied all accusations of abuse.

Heard ended up winning a $7 million divorce settlement and gave all the money to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and to other charities that help victims of domestic violence.
Some are still championing Depp, claiming Heard made it all up and that she was the physically abusive partner in their relationship — a sentiment echoed by Depp himself.
After reports came from the fifth “Pirates” movie that Depp was constantly late, a diva and often drunk, many figured this was the end of his career. J.K. Rowling has said she’s not giving up on him, and cast him as the main antagonist in her five-film Harry Potter prequels “Fantastic Beasts.”
Up until this point, Rowling has always seemed to be on the right side of history. She’s stood behind her LGBT fans, even making Dumbledore a gay character, and she’s been very charitable with her earnings from the “Harry Potter” series. However last year, she released a statement saying that she stands behind Depp and his casting as Grindelwald in the “Fantastic Beasts” films.
Of course, we don’t know the full story — and we likely never will. However, the photos of Heard’s abused face, along with her donating all the money to charity, speak for themselves. Combine that with the allegations that came off the “Pirates 5” set, and it seems as though Johnny Depp’s reign on Hollywood should be over.
I expect his final test will be on the upcoming press tour for “Fantastic Beasts 2” where I’m sure reporters won’t be afraid to ask the gritty questions about his personal life. Hopefully, he’ll either definitively clear his name or decide to step away from the spotlight. In this current climate of #BelieveSurvivors and #MeToo, I’m surprised to see so many people sticking beside Depp.

How do you feel about this whole situation? Do you think Johnny Depp actually did these things, and if so, do you think it’s right for him to still be seen as one of Hollywood’s top stars? Will his casting in “Fantastic Beasts 2” have any effect on whether you’ll see the movie or not? Let me know in the comments below.
![[ENTERTAINMENT] ‘BIG LITTLE LIES’ DIRECTOR SET TO MAKE JOHN LENNON, YOKO ONO MOVIE](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/lennon-billboard.jpg?resize=636%2C421&ssl=1)

Jean-Marc Vallee has been chosen to direct a big-screen adaptation of Beatle John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s tragic love story.
The director, who’s worked on “Dallas Buyers Club” “Wild” and the first season of “Big Little Lies” has been in negotiations with Universal Pictures to work behind the camera on the film, and it looks like negotiations have been finalized. The script is written by screenwriter Anthony McCarten, who wrote “The Theory of Everything” “Darkest Hour” and the upcoming Freddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody.” While I have yet to see “Bohemian Rhapsody” (it’s not out yet) it seems like McCarten is good at writing biopics, so this might be the perfect project for him.

I’m curious to see how they play the Lennon-Ono story. Yoko is loved by some Beatles fans, but many blame her, at least in part, for the band’s ultimate demise. She’s been referred to as “The Woman who Broke Up the Beatles” for decades. Judging by McCarten’s previous work, I’m expecting a balanced look into their love life, but it will certainly be interesting to see how fans react.
Also, in 2007 an independent film “Chapter 27” focused on Lennon’s demise in New York City, with Jared Leto playing his killer, Mark David Chapman. That movie, which costarred Lindsay Lohan, didn’t make much of an impression on audiences. I expect that this upcoming Lennon biopic will have considerably more mainstream appeal than that movie. A film about one of the world’s most beloved entertainers will surely do better than a film examining the mind of his killer.

There is no title or release date for the Lennon Ono film, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates.
