This story developed over the weekend but it's still good to pass up. Will Smith says honesty is the best policy to sustaining the marriage of one of Hollywood's top power couples That is why he and wife Jada Pinkett Smith often "talk" about having sex with other people.
Smith, who earlier admitted that divorce wasn't an option for the couple, told Reveal that an open relationship is good for their marriage.
He said: "Our perspective is, you don't avoid what's natural and you're going to be attracted to people.
"And if it came down to it, then one would say to the other: 'Look, I need to have sex with somebody. Now, I'm not going to if you don't approve of it'."
Smith suggested that his marriage would survive a permitted affair because of his and wife Jada's honesty.
Very interesting news coming from Will, given much of the gossip that has surrounded their marriage, and, the rumors about Jada's colorful social life. When the wife's away, the boys (and the girls) will play.
Thanks KEITH

Okay, so where do we sign up?

I want to know if they play together. The couple that plays together, stays together ..
Posted by: ID | 16 July 2008 at 14:53
How can they play together of Will Smith likes boys and Jada Pinkett likes women? This is the ultimate Hollywood double beard.

Personally, I always thought Jada was very butch and very hard. Probably bisexual. Maybe Will likes to watch.

>>>Look, I need to have sex with somebody.
Not another 'man' or a certain 'woman' but 'somebody.' Sounds very bisexual.

I think it's great they are that open and can discuss these things. Honesty is the best policy, and, they are both very attractive. More power to them.

Will is just being honest. He said they are talking about having affairs but haven't actually had one. Where does it say they are having affairs?

This fact has been known in many circles for years. But what I find amusing is when this story broke online a few days ago on the (straight)urban blogs how many of the black women rejected the idea that either of them could possibly entertain members of the same sex.
It was as if their little fantasy of the perfect black hetero marriage had come crashing down right before their eyes. Quite laughable and sad at the same time if you ask me.

DT, are you a publicist or do such ridiculous statements come naturally?
Posted by: David | 16 July 2008 at 15:47
That's a very interesting story, Darian. I was at one of the other straight/urban blogs and the denial was a mile deep. 'Cuz of course, if it is true about Jada, then it maybe be true about Will. So the str8s delude themselves into believing the couple is very straight and hetero. A fantasy marriage, as you say.
Posted by: Talented | 16 July 2008 at 16:02
Will is being honest about what many couples choose not to be honest about.
To me, that's healthy for them and their relationship. I wish them well.

Look Miss David, I'm not a publicist, I just think some of you queens over-react.
Posted by: DT | 16 July 2008 at 16:38
A lot of these man-obsessed homosexuals are over-reacting. This is my second day visiting this blog and there is another story speculating that God-fearing, heterosexual black prince and princesses are not who they say they are. Where is the proof
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are an inspiration to millions of black men and women. The gay lifestyle and homo brain is very jealous. Darian, Ryan and ATL Kid, I will be praying for you. Have a blessed day.

WWJD has jokes. One person in that couple certainly is a princess but it's not who you think it is!
Posted by: Franklyn Smyth | 16 July 2008 at 16:52
Will Smith is STRAIGHT. Jada Pinkett Smith is STRAIGHT. Gays are always HATERZ because you can't get fine men like Duane or Will.
Posted by: VERONICA | 16 July 2008 at 17:05
And who are you referring to Franklyn and Ryan?????
Posted by: VERONICA | 16 July 2008 at 17:06
Veronica and WWJD must be today's honorary straight ambassadors. Tell me, "WWJD" say about hatred and bigotry? It's not in the bible.
Posted by: David | 16 July 2008 at 17:12
WWJD, this is your second day in a row posting, so why do you come to a gay blog? Doing research? Or dipping on the down low?
Posted by: Oliver | 16 July 2008 at 17:15
You don't need to pray for me, sweety. You're the "straight" "god-fearing" man/woman trolling the gay blogs for news and tidbits.
Oh, and I think you have sex on the brain more than we do.
Posted by: ATL KID | 16 July 2008 at 17:20
Veronica, I don't know about these other brothers but I can "find" and have found men as fine as both of those gentlemen, if not finer. In fact I'm dating a brother who looks so much like a young Denzel that it's scary. You know the finest brother's are at least bi and at best sgl. I think you all know that and it makes you very nervous, but I hope you sisters can find good men of your own. Good luck; especially in L.A. N.Y. ATL., and DC.
Posted by: freeleo | 16 July 2008 at 17:26
Freeleo is 110 percent correct. Dream on, Veronica. Go to NYC, DC, ATL or LA and the phinest and most buff men are GAY. Sorry, if Will Smith wasn't Will Smith, he would be an average brotha at TRAXX.
