Jay-Z and Will Smith Officially Discussing Annie Remake for Willow Smith

The definition of irony for Wednesday, Jan. 26: The idea of Willow Smith singing “It’s a Hard Knock Life” on the big screen. What was rumored last week has now become more official: Jay-Z has teamed with Overbrook Entertainment (read: Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith) for a joint venture that will develop television and film properties. First up: An Annie remake at Sony Entertainment with Smith’s daughter Willow in the lead role. “The time is right to bring back Annie to the big screen,” said Columbia Pictures President Doug Belgrad in a statement. “Of course, we’re true believers in Willow’s talent and believe she will be perfect in this role.” Maybe, but I imagine it will be hard for her to whip that Annie-approved perm .

Jay-Z Teams Up With Studio For ‘Annie’ Remake Starring Willow Smith

‘We’re developing a true superstar in Willow,’ Jay says in a statement announcing the project. By Aly Semigran Jay-Z Photo: Rob Loud/ Getty Images When Jay-Z sampled “It’s a Hard Knock Life” from the classic Broadway show-turned-movie musical “Annie,” who would have guessed it was simply a sneak preview of bigger things to come? It’s been announced that Jay has teamed up with Overbrook Entertainment, a film production company whose partners include Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, James Lassiter and Ken Stovitz. One of the first projects on the Jay-Z/Overbook agenda will, in fact, be remaking “Annie.” After rumors hit the Net about the possibility of the update, Variety confirmed Wednesday (January 26) that Sony will bring the reimagining of the musical about a spirited orphan to the big screen. Will and Jada plan to make a family affair out of this latest endeavor as their daughter, 10-year-old Willow Smith (who scored a massive hit this year with the infectious “Whip My Hair”), will play the coveted lead role. In a statement, Jay-Z said of the group’s latest venture, “The Overbrook Entertainment family and I have a unified vision,” adding, “We’re developing a true superstar in Willow.” Willow’s rising star (the pint-size singer recently tweeted, “Are you excited for my album?! It’s coming soon……..VERY soon!!”) prompted Columbia Pictures President Doug Belgrad to state, “The time is right to bring back ‘Annie’ to the big screen. We’re true believers in Willow’s talent and believe she will be perfect in this role.” Of course, this isn’t the first time Jay, Lassiter and the Smiths have teamed up, as the power foursome worked as co-producers on the Tony-nominated Broadway show “Fela!” Nor is it the first time Overbrook (which has pulled in a staggering $2.5 billion in revenue) will make a film featuring one of the Smiths’ children. In addition to releasing Will Smith’s blockbuster movies including “Hitch” and “Hancock,” their son Jaden Smith starred in Overbrook’s “The Pursuit of Happyness” and, most recently, a remake of “The Karate Kid.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Willow Smith Previews ’21st Century Girl’

Pop singer was spotted filming a video for the song in L.A. over the weekend. By Jocelyn Vena Willow Smith on the set of the music video for “21st Century Girl” Photo: Eric Ford / On Location News Last year, Willow Smith wanted us to whip our hair back and forth, and on her new single, she proclaims to be a “21st Century Girl.” The up-and-coming pop star was spotted filming the video for the song, off her Roc Nation debut album, over the weekend. Willow was joined by her parents, Will and Jada, on the set, as well as her brother Jaden and his “Karate Kid” co-star Jackie Chan. The video was shot over two days in downtown L.A. In the clip, the pint-size pop star was seen in braids and wearing various multi-colored outfits that included neon colors and leopard print. “Hi, guys! I am on my video set and I just wanted to give you guys a sneak peek of the new sound of my song ’21st Century Girl,’ ” she said in a video posted on Facebook . In the video, Willow rocks bright green eye shadow, and in the background, several of her over-the-top looks can be seen hanging on racks. “So, hope you like it,” she said. “21st-century girl/ I do what I like/ 21st-century girl/ I’m taking you for a ride,” Willow sings. The song, much like her first single, “Whip My Hair,” is a club-banging anthem. “21st-century girl/ Gonna live it up/ Just live it up,” she goes on to sing over the heavily produced beat. Willow first got everyone’s attention last fall when she burst on the scene with her debut single. And she’s already got some big projects in the works. She’s set to perform at the Grammy Awards on February 13, and she is also going to hit the road with Justin Bieber when he tours Europe starting in March. What do you think of Willow’s new single, “21st Century Girl”? Tell us in the comments. Related Artists Willow Smith

It takes money to keep the Biebs lookin’ this good.

photo via Wire Image Justin Bieber haircut costs Having great hair doesn’t come easy, and it’s certainly not cheap. And if you want a signature do? Let’s just say you better get that credit card ready. Take Justin Bieber and his signature haircut that drives all the girls wild- it comes with a price tag. But given the intensity of “Bieber Fever” it seems to be money well spent. But just how much money are we talking about? Life & Style magazine reports that the Biebs spends more than $750 per haircut. Clearly it takes a lot of money to look like you don’t get your hair cut that often. That’s style, people, and the Biebs has it. And how often does he get his hair cut? Vanessa Price- the hairstylist that created his signature shaggy look- claims she makes housecalls to give the Biebs touch ups. Price says , “I usually cut his hair every couple of weeks when he’s on tour.” Now, I’m not mathematician, but that’s over $1,500k a month- ON HIS HAIR. I’m not sure if I need to find a time machine and aspire to be the next teen pop sensation, or go to cosmetology school. Decisions, decisions.
