Hang Ten! The Smith kids splashed it up in Hawaii this week along with mom Jada and some friends. Jaden looks like an old pro doesn’t he? And Willow is no slouch either. Hit the flip for lots more family fun photos from their trip.
In EW’s upcoming cover interview, Magic Mike stars Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey fondly remember the moment on set when excited extras tasked with stuffing McConaughey’s man-thong with dollar bills accidentally (or not) ripped the banana hammock right off. What’s that, EW? You want me to watch a behind-the-scenes video of McConaughey striking poses while Tatum splashes around breakdancing in a pool of water? Well, fine . (To peek at Tatum stepping up to the McConaughey in said video, head here .) It took me a good while to come to terms with just how much I actually really want to see Magic Mike even though it’s about male strippers and almost nothing in real life appeals to my womanly senses less than men prancing around in g-strings. I blame it on the power of the Channing. McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer, and that one guy from True Blood don’t hurt, either. So I guess I understand how these lady extras on the Magic Mike set were swept up in the moment when McConaughey and his magical abs gyrated in their faces or whatever. “Make it rain on McConaughey!” they probably thought to themselves as they scrambled, George Washingtons in hand, toward his oh-so-delicate thong. And then, snap — OOPS! Let McConaughey retell the moment in his own words: “I stayed in sequence,” he says proudly. “I went for the tuck. [Mimes covering his manhood] I went for the roll. [Mimes doing a forward roll] And I finished the dance.” Like a pro. Good advice to keep in mind, fellas. Especially you, Joey Lawrence of Blossom fame, who coincidentally, in other news, might need to start stockpiling such tips. Because, according to TMZ : Joey Lawrence is joining the Chippendales. Whoa, indeed! [ EW , TMZ ]

She has already addressed the infidelity rumors via song , but now Jada Pinkett Smith is doing it via statement. With tabloid chatter continuing to claim that she and husband Will Smith are headed for a divorce, the actress told French magazine Gala this week: “Every year, one celebrity couple is under the microscope. This year, unluckily, it’s us! I almost want to say that we should have been expecting it.” So Jada did not sleep with Marc Anthony ? And Will, as rumored in the cover story below, is not having an affair with pal Duane Martin? “Will and I know the truth. We’re waiting peacefully for the storm to blow over,” Jada said, adding more forcefully: “These rumors are completely untrue. I travel a lot because of my work, just like Will does…. But our lifestyle hasn’t changed.” Okay. Glad that’s settled. Now, about your daughter’s hair …

Kate Gosselin doesn’t normally do New Year’s resolutions, but she is this time. After a crazy 2011, what’s she striving for to make 2012 all it can be? “I don’t typically make New Year’s resolutions,” she writes on CouponCabin. “However, I do aim for certain things as I organize and prioritize my life.” Her goal is both simple and profound: Accomplish something! With passion! She writes, “This year, I learned that if I want to accomplish something, whether it’s hanging a picture in my home, building a chicken coop or running a marathon, it’s all possible if my mindset is one of determination and positivity!” “The year of 2011 for me was a year of gaining complete independence, and learning to look for solutions in every situation instead of focusing on the problems. I’ve always said that I don’t live apologetically; I live passionately!” “A great way to do that is to learn from the past and make it better in the future.” Amen, Kate. Good luck with that. We’re sure we’ll be hearing all about it. [Photo: WENN.com]
The women of The Bachelorette? Not unattractive. With a new season of The Bachelor underway, it’s only fitting, sort of, that three well-known cast members who went on to dole out the roses themselves cover In Touch Weekly, baring their bikini bodies and sharing their weight loss plans and tips. Okay, it makes no sense. But who’s complaining? Ashley Hebert , who dispatched current Bachelor Ben Flajnik last summer, is prepping for her wedding to JP Rosenbaum with a low-carb diet. Sounds amazing. Ali Fedotowsky, now single and ready to mingle after calling off her engagement to Roberto Martinez, is targeting thigh and butt jiggle. It looks well targeted. Trista Sutter, the standard bearer for successful relationships spawned by a nonsensical reality show, still looks amazing – yet is contemplating a boob job. Not that she needs it and not that you can believe anything you read in In Touch , but that’s all we’ve got for now. Just sit back and enjoy the bikini photos.
Stop us if you’ve heard this before: Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are on the verge of a divorce. While this rumor has been out there for months, and while the famous couple has issued a statement saying it is “still together, and our marriage is intact,” talk of a break-up persists – and In Touch Weekly claims to have found more proof that one is imminent. The tabloid reports this week that Jada recently met with celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has represented stars such as Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, and Kim Kardashian . She’s also currently working with Vanessa Bryan t. The magazine also quotes an insider who says the Smiths have “finally begun to take steps to dissolve their marriage.” Not exactly hardcore evidence, we know. But the longer the chatter goes on, and the less Will and Jada say, the more we start to wonder if Willow and Jaden will be splitting time between two households in the near future. [Photo: WENN.com]
Will Smith is finally getting attention for something other than his reported marriage problems –his newly bald head.
