Will "king of the July 4th box office" Smith premiered his new movie Hancock with the help of family and friends at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles last night.  Hancock tells the story of a washed up and drunk superhero who needs saving himself; Will plays the fallen hero and Jason Bateman plays the publicist who wants to turn his image around.  Also on hand were co-stars Charlize Theron as well as Jada Pinket, Jason's sister Justine (Mallory!) and Will's Fresh Prince co-star Tatyana Ali (Ashley Banks!).  Hancock opens on Independence Day and will no doubt open to big numbers but let's not forget it has Wanted to contend with who had a HUGE opening itself!  Battle of the box office titans!

           

Abigail Breslin was on hand for the premiere of her new movie Kit Kittredge: An American Girl in Los Angeles over the weekend.  Based on the American Girl Dolls and the accompanying series of books, Abigail plays Kit, a young girl growing up during the Great Depression who has big dreams of being a writer some day.  Aww, how inspiring.  Every once and awhile it's nice to see a young star so fresh and so free of drugs!  Also at the premiere were co-star Chris O'Donnell and his family, Will and Jada and their kids and Rachel Bilson and her little sisters.  My favorite shot is of Willow Smith (Will's daughter) who has some serious 'tude!  She is so a Bratz and not an American Girl!

       

The Essence Magazine Celebrates Black Women in Hollywood luncheon held at the Beverly Hills Hotel yesterday.  A smokin hot Jada Pinkett was in attendance in a backless number, while hubby Will Smith kept it neat in a gray suit.  Also in attendance were Raven Symone, Jurnee Smollett  and Gabrielle Union.  My favorite guests of course were Katie and Tom, the whitest couple in Hollywood. It's cool they came out for the celebration, however seeing Katiebot's lifeless face and Tom's stupid grin at an Essence magazine party really has to make you chuckle.

Move over Jayda, Tom and Will have got some lovin' to give...each other. In their latest show of male bonding, best buds Will Smith and Tom Cruise hit the red carpet together last night in NYC like an old married couple. Will and Tom laughed an joked(and stroked their egos) at the premiere of Will's new movie, I Am Legend. Then Tom did a disappearing act and failed to show at the after party. Maybe Katie Holmes put her foot down and told her hubby to haul his ass back to LA because they've got holiday shopping to do.

Celebrity back-slapping went into overdrive in Hollywood when Will Smith slapped his hands and feet in concrete at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, and best buddy Tom Cruise showed up. These guys are soooo crazy when they get together and Tom says he ''feels inspired'' when he's near Will. Wow, sounds like they could be in luuuurrrve ALMOST!

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith got behind their son Trey as he played in a high school football game in LA at the weekend. Jada looked especially excited when Trey - whom she adopted as her own, but whose real mom is Will's first wife Sheree Zampino - was involved in the winning score in the match. Wide receiver Trey helped his team romp home to a victory by, err.. One point.

Charlize Theron and Will Smith got a little crazy on the LA set of their upcoming movie John Hancock at the weekend. The unlikely pair shot a racy scene in which Will has to pin his blonde co-star down in what looked like a hailstorm. We can't wait to see this film!

Spice Girl Victoria Beckham was like the cat who got the cream last night when she stepped out with fellow Hollywood Wives, Katie Cruise and Jada Pinkett Smith. Posh claims she's just an ordinary, down-to-earth English girl. But you know you've finally made it when Katie and Jada plan a little soiree to welcome you to the US. The big question is though, who wore the stripper shoes best?
