Is there no stopping this man?

We just told you this week how Will Smith took time out of his schedule while promoting his latest flick, Seven Pounds, to visit with patients at Miami Children’s Hospital.

Well, we just found out from one of our Perezcious readers that there’s even more good news.

Turns out Smith took time out yesterday to visit Case Elementary, an inner city public school in Cleveland, Ohio.

He spent time visiting with the school officials and hanging out with the kids.

Will’s got such a big heart, and he knows how to manipulate the media nearly as well as Angelina Jolie!

The highest paid actor is also a good humanitarian.

While just in Miami to promote his latest film, Seven Pounds, Will Smith took some tile to visit patients at Miami Children’s Hospital.

Smith handed out stuffed animals and DVDs to the children and took time talking with them and snapping pics together.

Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation President, Lucy Morillo, stated “We were deeply moved by Will Smith’s donation and the true spirit of joy he brought to the many young patients being treated here. We are very appreciative of his heartfelt support and honored to have such a celebrated figure as part of our Miami Children’s Hospital family.”

And that’s not even it.

The man whose heart is made of gold and bank account consists of millions even made a donation, for an undisclosed amount, to the Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Celebrities doing good, always appreciated!

Boo!

Columbia Pictures is trying to wax on some extra cash with a remake of the 1984 kid classic The Karate Kid. Produced by the franchise’s original money man Jerry Weintraub, the updated version is intended as a star automobile for Will Smith’s 10-year-old son Jaden.

This already sounds obnoxious.

Smith’s own Overbrook Entertainment will also be producing.

We foresee some major temper tantrums on set.

With a script by Chris Murphy, the film is scheduled to begin production next year in Beijing and other exotic locales.

Would U see a Karate Kid remake?

Variety reports that Steven Spielberg has been waiting years for the ‘perfect’ project to do with Will Smith, and he just might have found it!

The two are reportedly in early discussions to collaborate on an American remake of a Korean flick called Oldboy.

The story centers around a man who gets kidnapped and then held in a shabby cell for 15 years without explanation. He’s suddenly released and given money, a cell phone and clothes and is set on a path to discover who destroyed his life so he can take revenge.

Will would play the kidnapped man with Spielberg directing.

Sounds kinda interesting!

It’s hard to be on top forever!

The Hollywood Reporter states that management company Handprint Entertainment is shutting its doors at year’s end.

Over the years, Benny Medina’s company represented heavy-hitters like Jennifer Lopez, Tyra Banks, Mariah Carey, Usher, Chris Rock, Will Smith, Diddy and Nicole Richie.

However, most of those large names have parted ways with the company recently.

Some major shiz must be going down!

As we mentioned last month, Mimi was the latest client to say adios to Benny and the company.

It was good while it lasted!

During a recent interview, Will Smith, the highest paid male actor and Tom Cruise’s BFF, opened up a bit about his personal life. It’s boring!

More interesting is the fact that he is now denying those long term rumors that he’s a Scientologist.

The two-time Oscar nominee was just at the premiere of Lakeview Terrace.

That’s the flick that he produced along with James Lassiter.

Smith was blatantly asked if he was in fact a cult Scientology member.

To which Smith responded, “I am not.”

And there you have it.

Cruise hasn’t been able to brainwash the Smith family. At least not yet!

It’s still a man’s world in Hollywood. Just ask the highest-earning A-list celebs.

The top 10 best paid actors in Hollywood have out earned female actresses 2-1 over the last year!

Collectively, the top male actors took home approximately $487 million this year - as opposed to the leading ladies who brought in $244.5 million.

And, of that, the highest paid male actor is surprisingly Will Smith.

Smith took home an estimated $80 million during the last year!!!!

Crazy!

Looks like the Scientology leaders might be replacing Tom Cruise soon as their unofficial spokesman.

Johnny Depp is second on the list of top paid actors, making $72 million in the last year.

And coming in third is Eddie Murphy with $55 million.

People are still paying to see him????

Coming in fourth is Mike Meyers, followed by Leonardo DiCaprio.

Zacquisha will be up there one day!

As you probably know by now, Will Smith seems to own the July 4th weekend for movie releases.

His Independence Day, Men In Black, and Men In Black 2 movies have netted millions over the holiday weekend.

So, it’s no shocker that his latest film, Hancock, is out this July 4th as well.

The movie is already off to a good start and its expected to make over $100 mill this weekend.

Unfortunately for all those involved, the movie is getting shiteous reviews!

Will U go watch it?

Many have speculated that the school Will Smith and her husband, Jada are opening in LA this September is really a Scientology indoctrination center.

In an LA Times report , the head mistress of HanCOCK’s school basically says the Scientology school front talk is nonsense.

She says the school’s teachers are of all religions and that one of the teaching methods the school will be employing (’study technology’) is erroneously attributed to Scientology. The school boss says, “People tend to think study technology is a subject, but it is really just the way the subject is taught. They then come to the conclusion that we are teaching Scientology when actually a methodology doesn’t have anything to do with content.”

The paper goes on to point out that critics argue Wil’s school is not being honest about its links to Scientology.

David S. Touretzky, a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, created a website that dissects study technology and asserts that in the case of the Smiths’ school, it is Scientology religion disguised as education.

The Prof said many phrases and concepts on the school’s website are specific to Scientology.

For example, the school lists a “Director of Qualifications” and another teacher who is an assistant in the “Qual” department. The “Qual,” said Touretzky, is where people who have completed a Scientology counseling, or “auditing,” session or a course in the Church of Scientology are tested by a qualifications teacher.

“There is no reputable educator anywhere who endorses [study technology],” said Touretzky, a critic of Scientology. “What happens is that children are inculcated with Scientology jargon and are led to regard L.R. Hubbard as an authority figure. They are laying the groundwork for later bringing people into Scientology.”

Ron Reynolds, executive director of the California Assn. of Private School Organizations, which represents primarily independent religious schools, tells the Times that all schools should strive for transparency.

“I know next to nothing about Scientology, but if you’re using some method or technology closely associated with Scientology and Scientology is characterized as a church or religious body, it raises a question if they proclaim themselves as other than religious,” Reynolds said.

He has not seen the school’s website but went on to say, “I don’t want to insinuate the school is failing to disclose anything. But as a matter of good practice, if a school has an affiliation, it would behoove it to expose it.”

If the critics are right, why do you have to be all shady, Will?

Did Tom put you up to this?

Will Smith is standing up for his good pal Tom Cruise .

The HanCOCK star wants y’all to stop knocking Tom for being a Scientologist!

In a new interview Jada’s wife says, “That’s painful for me to see. I’ve met very few people committed to goodness the way Tom is. We disagree on a lot of things. … But even with different faiths and different beliefs, at the end of the day, goodness is goodness.”

Nice! Way to remind us that you’re proclaiming in public your non-Scientologist ways.

As we’ve previously mentioned, Will’s on his way to box office history. If Hancock opens to large numbers, as expected, he’ll be the first actor to score 8 consecutive $100 million movies.

Tom, the former box office champ is trying to one-up Will, though!

Apparently the two have this ongoing autograph face off thing going…they see who can sign fan autographs longer.

The Fresh Prince states, “It’s hard to beat that dude. He has another gear. He did 2 1/2 hours in France for Mission: Impossible on the red carpet. Now when I go to France, people will say, ‘You know, Tom was out here for 2 1/2 hours.’ “

Can Tom ‘go longer’ at other things?

Jada Plinko Smith was snapped at the premiere of daughter Willow’s movie, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, in the NYC on Thursday and she was NOT happy.

A spywitness tells us exclusively that Jada was having a little ‘flip out session’ in this photo because a reporter asked her if she thought her hubby Will Smith and Charlize Theron were having a affair in Russia.

Hmm. Things are smelling fishy!

Charlize and Will are caught nuzzling on international red carpets and Jada’s ‘freaking’ in public about affair ‘rumors’.

Do Charlize and the Smiths share a publicist?

We think that behind closed doors the only thing Will wants from Charlize are her beauty secrets.

Will Smith will probs be the undisputed #1 movie star in the world in a few weeks.

According to industry predictions, Smith’s new flick, Hancock, (in theaters July 2nd) is destined for a $140-$150 million opening weekend, which would mark the 8th consecutive film for Will that would make $100 million or more at the box office!

Wills must be glad that the box office curse plaguing his good friend, Tom Cruise hasn’t rubbed off on him!

We’ve to admit that we think Hancock’s superhero needs rehab storyline is pretty clever.

Plus, funnyman Jason Bateman is in the flick.

Will U see Hancock?

His transformation into Tom Cruise is now officially complete!

Will Smith gets a little lot TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT at the London premiere of Hancock on Wednesday.

Judging by Charlize Theron’s body language, she’s about to elbow the closet Scientologist in the gut!

What would Jada Plinko have to say about this????
