Father-daughter box-office battle
Preparing for a film role can be daunting, but as the daughter of Will Smith, Willow Smith didn�t have to go far for acting advice, reports People News Online.
�My dad gives me tips,� Willow told People last week at the New York City premiere of Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, in which she co-stars. �He says listen to the director and feel the moment.� And did she feel the moment? �Yes, I did.�
Willow, who hit the red carpet with her mom Jada Pinkett Smith and brother Jaden, also enlisted her family to assist in the wardrobe department.
�My mom helped and the stylist helped,� said the 7-year-old actress of her premiere attire: a sequined shirt, Capri pants, Tory Burch shoes and strands of green and red woven into her braids.
As for her Kit Kittredge attire, �I didn�t have a lot of makeup,� said Willow. �Basically, for me it�s just clothes, clothes, clothes, shoes.�
The child actress, who also appeared in her dad�s film I Am Legend, enjoyed tapping into her creative side on screen.
�It�s really fun,� says Willow of acting. �Because on the set, the directors tell you something and you can do it a whole different way. And they will still like it.�
And with dad Will starring in the film Hancock on July 2, the same day Kit Kittredge opens, which Smith does Willow think will do better at the box office? One word: �Me.�

Ultrasound brings Nicole Kidman to tears
Nicole Kidman started crying the first time she saw her baby on an ultrasound machine.
The Moulin Rouge actress - who is expecting her first biological child with husband Keith Urban - was so overwhelmed with joy when she saw the image, she couldn’t hold back the tears.
She said: “When I first saw the baby on the ultrasound, I started crying. I didn't think I'd get to experience that in my lifetime. I like the unpredictable nature of it.
“To feel life growing with you is something very, very special, and I'm going to embrace that completely. I don't believe in flittering around the edges of things. You're either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you're going to be a voyeur. And I'm not a voyeur.”
Nicole also revealed she loves all aspects of being pregnant.
She added to America’s Vogue magazine: “The whole experience is so primal. But I'm glad I've learned to let things flow. I'm now so much more capable of receiving love and giving it in a far different way.
"So to be given the blessing of a child at this stage of my life, you just say, 'Wow, this was meant to be'.”

Chris Martin - Coldplays Chris Martin Walks Out Of Radio 4 Interview
Chris Martin has walked out of an interview with BBC Radio 4 in discomfort at being questioned about Coldplay's new album.
The frontman was being interviewed for the station's art programme Front Row when he asked to leave the studio after nine minutes of discussion.
Will Champion, the four-piece's drummer, was left alone in the studio to answer the questions of interviewer John Wilson until his bandmate returned to stammer an answer to the final question.
The band's fourth album Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends was released on Thursday June 12th and is expected to shatter sales records for the year, with HMV estimating more than 250,000 copies will be sold in its first three days on release.
However, Martin appeared uncomfortable with being interviewed about the album and its lyrical content.
"I wouldn't agree with you there at all, no," said Martin after Wilson questioned whether the album's title reflected an obsession with death.
"I'd say you're journalistically twisting me into saying something I don't really mean," he added.
And when Wilson asked if the band started with the song Viva La Vida and "the idea within that song of the deposed dictator looking back at his life", Martin replied: "I'm not enjoying this. Can I have two minutes?"
When asked if he was feeling the pressure, he explained: "I just don't like talking about things."
Judging by the album's sale figures, Martin can afford to let his music do the talking after it sold more than 100,000 copies on its first day on release.
According to HMV, the speed with which Viva La Vida is flying off the shelves means it has the potential to become the second fastest-selling album in UK chart history behind Oasis' 'Be Here Now', which sold 695,761 copies in its first week when it came out in August 1997.
"This rate of sales exceeds even our optimistic forecasts, and shows how massively popular a band Coldplay remain despite having been away for the best part of three years," said HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo.
"Aside from having a substantial core fanbase, Coldplay are one of the few acts that can genuinely connect with a much wider audience."

Porter Wagoner, the Thin Man from the West Plains, is a case of an artist a great deal out front of his clock time wHO has always appeared hopelessly behind the times. He's among the nigh immediately recognizable figures in country music, largely due to his exploitation of TV -- and flashy costumes -- a full 20 age in front the video boom. And piece he's forever sensed as the man world Health Organization tested to bear Dolly Parton back from start success, he was besides responsible, in many slipway, for putt her in a career position where the egress could even come up. As for his music, since sign language with RCA in 1952 he has produced a wealth of brilliant arduous country, and just as much of the most wretchedly oversentimentalized tripe you'll always want to hear. The latter, of course, is half the reason he's loved.
Waggoner was born in West Plains, MO. As he grew up, he fell in love with the area music he heard over the wireless, pedagogy himself guitar so he could sing and play along with them. When he was a stripling, he landed a problem at a local market, where he would often sing when business was dumb. The possessor believed that Porter's singing was actually portion the store's reputation, so he arranged to sponsor a local wireless register that would lineament the fledgeling vocaliser. Throughout the late '40s, Wagoner was singing on the local West Plains wireless place. Eventually, a Springfield wireless place called KWTO offered Porter a show in 1951. Around the same clock time, Red Foley was beginning his Ozark Jamboree programme, which was based in Springfield and spread both on KWTO and national television. Foley brought Wagoner onto his show, which helped the young singer land a record contract with RCA Records. In 1954, his ninth single, "Company's Comin'," make the Top Ten. It was followed in the leaping of 1955 with "A Satisfied Mind," which stayed at number quartet for quatern weeks. At the end of the year he released "Consume, Drink, and Be Merry (Tomorrow You'll Cry)," which climbed to number triad in early 1956. In 1957, he joined the Grand Ole Opry and affected to Nashville, where he formed his backing isthmus, the Wagonmasters.
For the rest of the '50s, Porter continued to record, merely he never skint the Top Ten once again. It would consume another television prove for him to return to the top of the charts. In 1961, he began hosting his possess video show, which was syndicated out of Nashville. It was the most pop nation demonstrate of the '60s, growing from 18 stations of the Cross in 1961 to over a hundred stations in the early '70s. Wagoner ofttimes american ginseng with Norma Jean, a new female singer he introduced to the country audience, on these programs. The face of Porter's tV show defined country music for lots of America's general public during the '60s, although his music seldom asleep from traditional country. In 1967, Norma Jean was pink-slipped from the show and replaced by Dolly Parton, world Health Organization was and then an unknown isaac Merrit Singer. Not only did exposure on Wagoner's computer program kick start Parton's vocation, it provided a boost for Porter's as well. Parton was hugely pop on the show, and their number 1 spliff single, "The Last Thing on My Mind," rocketed to number seven at the beginning of 1968. The song launched a chain of Top Ten hits that ran more or less continuous until 1975, when the duo stopped working together. In 1968, the Country Music Assocaition named the duo the Vocal Group of the Year; the CMA would award them Vocal Duo of the Year in 1970 and 1971, as well.
Although the duet of Wagoner and Parton was successful, it wasn't stress-free. Porter continued to feature solo hits during the tardy '60s and early '70s, though none of them was as great as his songs with Parton. Furthermore, he resented her attempts at a solo life history; on her share, she felt musically restrained by him. The tensions culminated in late 1974, when she parted ways with Wagoner. RCA issued iI singles in 1975 and 1976, and both of the songs -- "Say Forever You'll Be Mine" and "Is Forever Longer Than Always" -- hit the Top Ten. The pair would continue to couple periodically all over the next tenner, highlighted by the number iI strike "Qualification Plans" from 1980. After Parton and Wagoner separated in 1975, Porter continued to plastic film his TV designate and to chart singles, simply all of his hits were minor. In 1976, he retired from touring, choosing to reduce on producing his own studio, Fireside. Wagoner sued Parton in 1979 all over various contractual problems; the suit was settled out of court the following twelvemonth. For the first few long time of the '80s, Porter had several small-scale hits, just he stopped up recording in 1983.
In 1981, Wagoner and RCA Victor parted ways after nearly 30 days, and his video show went off the aviation. He mounted a small-scale comeback in 1982, coming into court in the Clint Eastwood film Dive Man and recording an album, Oral examination Porter Wagoner, for Eastwood's label imprint at Warner Bros. Records, Viva, that made the country charts and produced a couple of minor area singles chart entries. After that, he only made periodic recordings for small labels. He toured with the Right Combination, an all-girl band, for several long time. In the late '80s and early '90s, he became increasingly fighting on The Nashville Network, to the full point that Opryland named him its "Good will Ambassador" and he was a even host of the Grand Ole Opry wireless and video program. In July 2000, he released his first fresh album in many days, The Best I've Ever Been. In 2007, as Wagoner turned 80 and some 55 long time after his first gear recording, the Marty Stuart-produced Wagonmaster was released on Anti Records.
