  • Will Smith Seeks Ralph Macchio's Advice for Karate Kid Reboot | Movie News | 3/5/2009

    Now that Will Smith is remaking The Karate Kid, he's seeking out the advice of Mr. Wax On himself, Ralph Macchio.

    "I was somewhat expecting a call based on the fact that he's one of the biggest stars on the planet, but one the nicest guys at that power level you'll ever meet," Macchio told TVGuide.com about the phone call he received from Smith a couple weeks back. "We spoke about a bunch of stuff, mainly how he came from the perspective of respect and admiration for the original film, and how he wants to find his own angle in."

  • Miley vs. Will Smith: Prepping a Teen Choice Dance-off? | Today's News: Our Take | 8/1/2008
    Will Miley Cyrus be going up against Will Smith in a dance-off at Sunday's Teen Choice Awards? The pop star, who's also hosting the awards, has been engaged in an ongoing, YouTube-fueled dance battle with her best pal, Mandy Jiroux, against actor-dancer Adam Sevani and his Step Up 2 director, Jon M. Chu. Now, Sevani suggests that Will Smith may get into the act during Sunday's show. "Will Smith is so cool," Cyrus' 15-year-old dance nemesis told E!. "I wanted to use him for our [Teen Choice] performance, but I don't know if he's gonna be here."While Smith's participation isn't certain, the Sunday dance battle is definitely going down. Sevani's team (ACDC) and Cyrus' (M&M Cru) have been bringing celebs from Lindsay Lohan to Adam Sandler in for their YouTube videos — so Sunday's segment will likely have its surprises. For his part, though, the only thing on Sevani's mind is victory. "We're going to just murder them," he promised. "Single-handedly!" — Anna Dimond read more
  • Do Sheen and Heigl Deserve TV's Biggest Bucks? | Today's News: Our Take | 7/23/2008
    A new survey by Forbes Magazine names Charlie Sheen and Katherine Heigl as TV's best-paid actors. The Two and a Half Men cut-up earned $20 million in 2007, while Heigl pulled in $13 mil for her rotation on Grey's Anatomy. (It would seem the quality of her boss' paychecks was up to snuff, yes.)Of course, that's all parking valet tip money compared to what their counterparts in the movie biz are taking home. Will Smith was the big screen's biggest earner for the year, depositing $80 million into his bank account. Among the men, he was followed by Johnny Depp (a bargain at $72 mil) and Eddie Murphy (overpriced at $55 mil). Cameron Diaz was Hollywood's best-paid actress for 2007, earning $50 mil. Keira Knightley placed No. 2 with $32 mil, followed by Jennifer Aniston ($27 mil).In the category of "media personalities," Oprah of course dominated, raking in $275 million for the year. What's your take? Who delivers the best value for the greenbacks? — Matt Mitovich read more
