In this weeks Celebitchy Zoom meeting we talked a lot about Will and Jada Pinkett Smiths very special Red Table Talk episode, where Jada admitted her entanglement with August Alsina. The consensus was that this was an ego-driven exercise and that Will and Jada did not address most of the things August said or how inappropriate the relationship was. Ashley pointed out that they didnt even acknowledge the fact that they both denied Augusts account at first. We will have a segment from our talk in the upcoming Gossip With Celebitchy podcast, #58, out Sunday morning! In the mean time Wills people went to People Magazines to give his side. They previously gave insider quotes to Us Magazine claiming no one would care about this if they werent famous. Thats too cute by half considering Jada has been desperately trying, for years, to capitalize on peoples mild interest in her.
A source close to the couple says their marital problems were exacerbated by their fame, and that the Bad Boys star, 51, felt more of the pressure to make their high-profile marriage work.
Theyre two different people trying to make it, and on top of it theres this huge spotlight on them, says the source. People are always going to grow and change, but most dont have the world watching their every move while they do that.
While the two have experienced their ups and downs, a friend of Pinkett Smith tells PEOPLE the Girls Trip star has never stopped loving Smith.
She would be the first person to admit marriage is hard work, but she will always love Will, says the friend. Even when they havent been together, Jada always spoke of her marriage as something special.

People also reported that Will and Jada went to the Bahamas with Willow right before the RTT episode came out. They stayed at an exclusive resort called the Albany. I was just looking through their website and they have villas and a whole recording studio there. (The Bahamas is open to US travelers with no quarantine requirements.)
As Zakia said in our meeting, Will surely had entanglements too and hes just mad that Jada was messy and hers got out. Wills side is saying he felt more pressure to make it work because Jadas side leaked, so hes playing the hurt one. Wills potential sidepieces include both a female costar and a man whom Will is rumored to have had a relationship with. (No shade on that if they had an open marriage.) Im not going to get into specifics, but you can figure it out. His hookups were adults, knew their role and didnt talk like August. (Incidentally August has tweeted some cryptic sh-t since the RTT episode came out, go here to read.)
All Will and Jada had to do, to quote Colleen, is to admit they have a nontraditional marriage. Theyve pretty much told us, for years, that their marriage is open. Instead they talked in circles on RTT and made it sound like they were split up. That may have been the case but they seem to have reached an understanding about it. Now were getting spin and sourced stories about how theyre surprised were paying attention to them. Jada revealed on separate RTT episodes that she was once addicted to vibrators and p0rn. Theyre only private about things they dont want to admit.

Last week, People Magazine had a curious story about how Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have softened towards each other to the point where he can visit her house for hours and it doesn?t devolve into a murderous rampage. ?Sources? credited the fact that Angelina, Brad and the kids have all been in family therapy since late 2016, after the plane incident. We?re coming up on the four-year anniversary of the incident and Angelina?s divorce filing. Their divorce still isn?t completed, and the last I heard, the financial part of the divorce was the biggest sticking point, not the custodial issue of the younger kids. Again, it?s been four years so why are we hearing that the pandemic is the reason why Brad and Angelina haven?t finalized their divorce?
Pumping the brakes. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie?s ?legal matters? are being put on pause as courts grapple with the coronavirus pandemic.
?Brad is seeing the kids but everything involved in their process of resolving legal matters between Angelina and Brad, including the courts, is slowed down because of COVID,? a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. ?With the pandemic, it has been hard for everyone, including them. The legal process is slowed because of that. They are continuing regular visits but there has not been a lot of progress in terms of resolving anything.?
The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star, 56, has been spotted visiting his children at Jolie?s house twice in the past few weeks. Pitt stopped by her mansion in June and was seen leaving her home again on July 2.
A source told Us on Wednesday, July 8, that the former couple have been working on their coparenting relationship for the sake of their children. Pitt and Jolie, 45, are the parents of Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 12, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 11.
?Brad and Angelina have continued to navigate a path forward for their children,? the insider explained. ?There has been progress.?

I shared my thoughts about why it feels like Angelina has been slow-walking the divorce process it?s because the longer this takes, the older the kids are and the more likely the court will say that they can make their own decisions about whether to see Brad. I could be wrong! I definitely think there are lots of financial shenanigans happening too, in that Brad has been putting up a fight about a full financial disclosure to Angelina. Still, the larger point remains? it?s been almost four years. The pandemic can?t be blamed on all of this.
Here are some photos of Brad arriving to Angelina Jolie?s gated community. I mean, the photo agency claims that?s him and that must be the BMW bike we?ve heard so much about (the same one he was riding around the BLM protest a few weeks ago). The jeans? wow. The wash and a rolled-up cuff? I?m sure he rolled up the cuffs because of something to do with driving a motorcycle, but the effect is not very cool.

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Tyra Bank?s model utopian theme park, ModelLand, has delayed opening in Santa Monica, CA, indefinitely. ModelLand was billed to be a fantasy version of the modeling world brought to the masses in a Walt Disney sort of way. Banks hopes it will make people feel ?more beautiful and powerful than they ever believed possible.
Despite the delay, Tyra hasn?t slowed down from breaking other barriers. According to a press release, she will be the new host and executive producer of Dancing with the Stars. Banks is set to replace Tom Bergeron, the original host of the show, and his long-time co-host Erin Andrews. BBC and ABC productions stated that they are moving in a different direction as their official reason for the decision to let Andrews and Bergeron go.
Banks will not only be the new host, but an executive producer, according to a news release from ABC obtained by CNN.
Ive been a fan of DWTS since its beginning The fun mixed with raw emotion, seeing celebrities push past their comfort zones, the sizzling dance performances its always transported me to my days of turning it up 10 notches on the catwalk, Banks said in the news release.
Tom has set a powerful stage, and Im excited to continue the legacy and put on my executive producer and hosting hats.
Longtime host Tom Bergeron on Monday broke the news that he will not be returning to the dancing competition show after 15 years in his role.
Co-host Erin Andrews will also not be returning.
The decision comes as ABC and BBC Productions, which produce the series, say they are heading in a new creative direction.
Bergeron had been host of Dancing with the Stars since the show began in 2005. Andrews had hosted since 2014.

As a fan of the show since its inception, I think Banks has some big shoes to fill. However, I believe she is eager to take on the challenge and deliver. I am sure there will be a lot of pressure on her not only because she?ll be one of the executive producers of a very popular show with a loyal fan base, but because she will also be the first Black host of the show.
Perhaps it is just time for fresh ideas or perhaps producers wanted a woman of color at the helm. And that?s not to imply that Banks didnt earn the job. She created, produced, and hosted the highly successful America?s Next Top Model, which became a worldwide phenomenon. I hope that Banks will breathe new life into the show. With that being said, I am sure the new season of DWTS will be highly entertaining if nothing else.
