Jada Pinkett Smith talks about her “saucy” sex life, again

Photo by: Genesis/starmaxinc.com 2010 4/17/10 Will Smith and Jada Pinkett at The American

As you may have already seen from the previews, Oprah’s guests today are Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith and their family (assorted kids, Will’s ex-wife and Will’s mom). Now, I do like Will Smith. He seems like a total pro, a nice guy, and a sweetheart. I know he loves and adores Jada. I know their marriage is solid, and I know they work on their sh-t, and they talk about how they work on their sh-t openly. So I’m not saying this to be disrespectful to them – but when are they going to shut up about their sex life together? E! News has some advanced clips of the show (below), and Jada is still talking about their sex life. Last year, when she was promoting her crapfest TNT show HawthoRNe, she wouldn’t shut up about her sex life too – and I know she gets asked about it a lot, but would it kill her to just say “We’re good” and wink?

Don’t get us wrong. We love Will Smith just as much as the next person. Particularly if the next person is waiting in line at the movie theater on July 4th weekend. But is it just us, or has he been spending a bit too much time in the self-help section lately? Hey, at least there’s finally a prime contender to take over for Oprah Winfrey when she adioses off daytime next fall.

But Smith, accompanied by wife Jada Pinkett Smith, kids Trey, Jaden and Willow, his mother, his ex-wife and her new husband (phew) all stopped by The Oprah Winfrey Show today and proved that no matter how enlightened their brood has become, they still know how to bring the funny. And the saucy.

When Winfrey asked the couple—whom she dubbed the head of Hollywood’s First Family—how they manage to keep the spark alive after more than 12 years of marriage (and nearly 20 years together), things got a little spicy.

“How saucy do you want to get, Oprah?” Jada asked, before Will interjected, “Hey, hey, we got kids in the green room.”

Not to mention his mother, front row center.

“Keep it spontaneous,” Jada said. “I surprise him. He’s a thinker. He’s always thinking. I just, I always surprise him…Now I don’t know if you want to get in on how I surprise him… During the day I might send a sexy picture of some sort…If he’s on set with me, we might take a break.”

As this is daytime, the chit-chat stopped there. As for Will, Jada said people would be most surprised to find out that he’s “extremely sensitive. And not just in feelings, but in intuition.”

The couple also talked about how they have a business plan for their family, and while Will and Jada sometimes (OK, most of the time) veered into statements like, “In order to reach the type of excellence…you have to find and focus on the individual and help them live up to their excellence” (Will) and, “At the end of the day we have to look past our own selfish desires. What can we do to facilitate the group, to facilitate the children…how do we incorporate all this talent that we have in our family to create an environment where all our dreams can come true,” (Jada), their kids seemed to take a more grounded approach to the concept.”

“My parents embarrass me all the time,” Jaden said, who added that his dad “pulls his pants down”—”his” meaning Will’s not Jaden’s—all the time.

Well, no one can be enlightened 24/7, right? Still, while Jaden, who will star alongside Jackie Chan in next month’s The Kung Fu Kid The Karate Kid remake, has already gotten a taste for the spotlight, his parents like to keep things in perspective for the 11-year-old.

“I tell the kids all the time, it’s like, Mommy and Daddy are rich, y’all are broke,” Will said. “We don’t allow them to just sit around. We talk about the concept of the group and the necessity of adding to the family, and then the neighborhood, then humanity.”

And despite his ability to talk a very, very good game, Will proved that movie stars really are just like us! Well, except for their superior gene pool and million-dollar bank accounts. But the insecurities are the same!

“No matter how successful you get, it’s really difficult to shake your mindset,” he said. “I still have a poor person mentality. I can’t shake it and it gets really detrimental. It’s really difficult to shake. When I go to sleep at night right now, I’m as financially nervous as I was 20 years ago.”

When he turned to Oprah for commiseration, it was clear she did not harbor the same fears.

“You’re doing a little more than us,” Will said. But as the family was ostensibly there to talk about Jaden’s martial arts flick, he got the lion’s share of the kids’ screen time, answering Oprah’s questions about how it felt to work out and (awww!) film his first onscreen kiss.

“I’m pretty ripped,” he said. “I wasn’t as ripped as I am now. I was like, how he looked in I Am Legend, I looked like that.”

“I Am Little,” joked Will. And as for that kiss query, Jaden continued to prove that humility might not exactly be his forte.

“Um, I mean, I’m good at kissing, so…” He is his father’s son.

[From E! News]

I mean, sure, they sound like a very happy and loving family, and I really buy that Will and Jada try to keep their kids grounded. So good for them. I’m just tired of the sex talk from Jada – she always sounds like she’s trying to prove something to someone.

Here’s another video, this one of Jaden:

    I feel like she does that to combat the rumors that swirl regarding Will’s sexuality. I don’t necessarily believe (or disbelieve) the rumors, but it’s like she has to constantly provide proof that they are sexually active. Disturbing, actually, as I personally know a couple who behaves that way, but when you get them separate, drunk, and speaking candidly, it’s not a true representation of their relationship.

    • gppd says:

      Wow jada is one of the most conceited persons of all time. Every thing out of her mouth is just con. Love will….but those kids have jadas nasty personality.

  2. Constance says:

    I don’t believe they have sex… with each other.

  3. Statler says:

    ‘I still have a poor person mentality. I can’t shake it and it gets really detrimental. It’s really difficult to shake…’

    This is my main problem with Will Smith. He grew up in Main Line Philadelphia, not terribly far from where my father grew up. It is by no means a poor/struggling/(or even)middle class neighborhood, nor is it the kind of area where you can get away with ‘faking it ’til you make it.’ People who live there come from money, typically established over many generations. The Fresh Prince was just a music/tv character, I wish he’d stop trying to sell it as his real background.

  4. Chico says:

    I agree Pretty, they keep bringing it up like they have something to prove? It makes you wonder.

    And, they have young kids. I wouldn’t want my kids turning on the tv to listen to mommy and daddy talking about getting dirty. Eewwww

  5. WTF?!? says:

    What Constance said. And Jaden is a dreadful actor, why remake a classic and then employ Hollywood nepotism to ruin it?

  6. virginia says:

    I must be a horrible prude because I am so F*CKING SICK of hearing people talk about their sex lives. Yes, we all have sex, yes we all enjoy it, but that does not mean that i want to hear (usually in graphic detail) about how you like this or that shoved up this hole or that one, or what your fetishes are, and so on. Spare us please. Why do people do this? Can someone please explain it to me? And while you’re explaining that, please explain why those of us who don’t want perfect strangers (or anyone who we’re not having sex with) to know how we like it are prudes. And we wonder why children are oversexualized….BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL NOT SHUT THE F*CK UP ABOUT SEX!

    Also, does anyone actually enjoy hearing about other people’s sex lives? It’s about as boring as listening to someone drone on and on about their job, or their kids, or any other asinine, inane topic. I JUST DON’T GET IT!

  7. Annoyed says:

    I don’t like Jada because she seems to me to be very, very arrogant. I’m sure most celebrities are but she is worse at hiding it. Will Smith does not come off nearly as arrogantly as she does. I agree about the annoyingness of the sex talk. Seriously? You’re already rich and gorgous and now you need us all to believe you’re just wild, wild. Gag. A little more class and humility please. . .

  8. Tia says:

    It is known Jada loooooooooooves the ladies… Veryyyy much.

  9. YT says:

    All talk and no action.

    Doesn’t she know how trashy it is to discuss her sex life in public? Of course, I don’t believe her. She really is tiresome.

  10. Victoria says:

    I like them (him more than her) and I agree that the sex talk is there to remind people neither one is gay because apparantly there are rumors about both of them. Did anyone else feel their “family business” talk sounded Scientology?

  11. lucy2 says:

    I like Will and they seem like close, strong family, but agree Jada seems arrogant. I have heard that from people who have met her. She also seems to try WAY too hard with all of the sex life talk. If you’re happy and things are good, you don’t need to tell everyone about it (over and over). I agree it’s to combat rumors (I’ve heard as many or more about her as him) but it really comes off as overcompensating. And gross, especially when their kids are sitting there.

    I don’t get his “poor kid” mentality either. Compared to now, sure, but it’s not like he grew up in the projects, that’s a nice area, and he had two working parents – heck of a lot better off than many kids.

    All of the self help kind of talk is a bit over the top, and makes me wonder if there was truth to the stories of them getting involved with Scientology.
    …like minds, Victoria! 🙂

  12. MARKY MARK says:

    I understand that here show is coming back on & she always pulls this when she has something to promote. I don’t think that it’d be cool for her to say look at us we’re successful & a-list, so she has to say “Envy us, we have hotter sex than anyone on earth”

  13. Anon says:

    They are both hardcore members of the Cult of Scientology. That alone speaks volumes on how honest they are capable of being in regards to their sexuality or anything else. Scientologists are trained to lie per order of L. Ron Hubbard. I kid you not. It is called TRL (Training Routine Lying) and it is taught early on. Google it.

    Will and Jada, Tom and Katie, and John T and Kelly donate millions and millions of dollars to the cult which enables it and its criminal leader David Miscavige to continue its human rights abuses including human trafficking, slave labor, coerced abortions, and breaking up families all while siphoning hundreds of thousands of dollars from their brainwashed followers.

    As Sen. Nick Xenophon of the Australian Parliament said – Scientology is a”two-faced, criminal organisation” hiding behind religious beliefs to get rich.” and also “There are no limits on what you can believe; but there are limits on how you can behave. It is called the law and no one is above it.”

    Check it out for yourself – Google Lisa McPherson, check out http://youfoundthecard.com/ or http://exscientologykids.com/.

    Also, the US IRS should remove their tax exempt status immediately. This country and others are in terrible economic shape and we exempt and therefore support this criminal cult through tax exemption???! It is the equivalent granting the Mafia tax exemption.

  14. benny says:

    They’re so full of shit. I still remember they showed up at a movie opening, or awards, or something where the press was there and they stopped to give an interview . . . to explain that their kid was really, really sick, and they were going to put family first by going home instead of staying for the event.

    Um . . . WHY did you leave this sick kid in the first place? Just so you could be on tv and show off what good parents you are by going back home? They are such phonies, and full of shit.

  15. buckley says:

    Urgh…Jada is so uncouth. Don’t like her rough girl looks (in my opinion she has that angry face).
    But I think I dislike Jaden even more.

  16. Green Is Good says:

    Way to keep it classy, Jada. You wanna tell us about you bowel movements too?

  17. gen says:

    Thou doth protest too much. I find when someone talks about something an overt amount, it becomes suspicious. I think they’re both bi & sleep with others. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. And I think they hide that so they can remain this middle america sucessfull family. Plus scientology is against homosexuality and they ARE a part of that. Maybe they’re good people but I think they’re full of secrets & lies.

  18. wtf says:

    I love Will and Jada. I think they have a beautiful family, and since they have been married for a hundred years ( in hollywood marriage years) I think they’ve earned a little sh*t talking.
    Their children are adorable. What is wrong with a family that really seems to work and care for each other?

    p.s.
    If I got to have sex with Will or Jada every night, I would talk about it ALL THE TIME!

  19. Jo says:

    Can not stand her!! She bugs big time… She is so masculine and militant with all her fist pumpling and stuff.. So not attractive..

  20. sharylmj says:

    I really like Will Smith and I think they seem like a pretty well adjusted family. I can’t stand Jada, I agree with you guys that she is so arrogant and yes.. it appears her son is following in her footsteps, except I did see that sparkle in his eye like his dad gets.. so there may be hope.

  21. FIONA says:

    I’ve always heard that they have an open marriage……

    along with many other “happy” celeb couples.

  22. FIONA says:

    actually, heres an informative link talking about the alleged open marriage they have.

  23. RHONYC says:

    “In order to reach the type of excellence…you have to find and focus on the individual and help them live up to their excellence”

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    smells of ‘xenu’ ALL over that statement.

    *ralph*

  24. Statler says:

    @Anon-

    tl; dr

    C’mon people, this is a gossip blog fer chrissakes. You just end up looking kind of unhinged, to be honest.

  25. Iggles says:

    Ugh. Indeed Gen, the lady doth protest much..

    Can’t stand the attitudes of their little brats. Suri’s got that haughtiness too. Maybe it’s a rich kid thing or a scientology kid thing.. or maybe both.

    I refuse to see the Kung Fu/Karate kid. It’s plain ridiculous. That little boy looks 8! Daniel was 15 in the first movie. An appropriate age to have a love interest in a movie.

  26. Catherine says:

    Some people just need to prove they are relevant.

  27. MeMyself says:

    What has impressed me about Jada is that she has always stressed how important Will’s first wife is to their family.
    Because of Will’s oldest son and just because, as she said it, “She is in”

    I also heard how Jada and wife 1 (can’t remember her name) collaborated on a painting or photograph of all their kids together, to give to him for some special occasion.

    Very, very classy.

  28. Nanea says:

    It’s become so predictable: whenever Jada opens her mouth, she talks sex life at Chez Smith.

    The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

    I remember Will talking a lot about Scientology to Vanity Fair at one time when one of his movies came out, that he “studied” the Bible, Buddhism and Scientology and that they have 98% in common.

    At one film set some time ago Jaden was homeschooled, with Scientology-approved textbooks – Jada was there with Willow. Someone who worked there (one of the cast) told me.

    And at the school in Los Angeles that Will and Jada fund with a few others, more than two thirds of the teachers are Scientologists, because Study Tech is such an approved and distinguished method to teach kids. *rolls eyes*

  29. sasha says:

    @Iggles. I didn’t see that (saw the trailer though), but did see Pursuit of Happyness and SOOOOO want my money back!

    What a pile that was, and not even historically accurate. The dude’s biography bears no resemblance.

    Who do I go to for a refund? Nowhere? Oh….

  30. nycmom10024 says:

    I enjoy them. He is very sweet and she is very strong and focused. I would not call that arrogant. I find her confident and self assured. The kids, like most kids in that age group who are very bright or actors are precocious and even a tad obnoxious. But as a family they appear to be successful. That is a good thing.

  31. Miranda Ann says:

    I don’t think the marriage is “open” or that they are bi. I also don’t think Jada is arrogant. However, I really can’t stand either of them. I have no idea why. I have nothing bad to say about either. I just don’t like them.

  32. jzhz says:

    I knew her when we were both in our early teens, and she was soooo full of herself, even then! This does not surprise me, that she can’t help but come off as anything more than what she is – a big snot.

  33. Cinderella says:

    It’s funny when one person on the DL is questioning another on the DL about their sex life.

  34. irishserra says:

    @Virginia: I totally agree with you. I just made a similar comment in today’s Christina Aguilera post. I don’t consider myself a prude, but can we pleeeease hear about/talk about something of substance on occasion??

  35. Ruffian9 says:

    More talk means less action

  36. Camille says:

    I love to hear interviews from Will and Jada. Yes, there have been many of rumors and I’ve met people who’ve known them since before they were famous with stories, but geesh! Can’t people evolve? Can any of you REALLY say that you are the exact same person today than you were 5,10 or even 20 years ago? Sometimes having a family and a thriving career re-directs your life in a positive way. I’m not saying that their lives were negative before, I’m just saying that it is refreshing to see an attractive, successful, funny man who has some kind of morals & family values and puts his family first. With all the Hollyweird families out here, I think Will & Jada are doing quite well at keeping their family together (as a family unit) and thank God that Will is in his kid’s lives (especially his boys) which is something you don’t see enough of in most African-American communities.

    As for Jada, she has always been a good actress before Will came along. She was very hood back in the days & even had a rock band at one time (as an outlet). However, now she has seemed to evolve into a classy well-dressed & poised woman & mother over the years. Which I say kudos to you Jada! Can we just focus on the positive here?

  37. onyx says:

    yeah, I generally like kids, but I DO NOT like their kids. I’ve heard them give interviews and yuck, they are so f… conceited, at such an early age. I bet they are not popular at their schools.

  38. mO says:

    they are gay and don’t want us to discover.

  39. Camille says:

    ….Also to add (if you review the tape again), Jada was ASKED by Oprah what does she do to keep the flame burning for as long as it seems to be. This was not something that Jada herself brought up to “prove” anything to anyone. Then Will responded “Hey, we have kids in the green room”. I don’t think that either of them were trying to be overly this or overly that. This was an interview done by Oprah and answers given to Oprah as with any interview. Please stop hating on this rich successful Hollywood couple.

  40. Kelaa Khaa says:

    I find Speidi more interesting than Will&Jada.

  41. Fluffy Kitten Tail says:

    Jeez, she looks old, and I am sick of hearing about her sex lifve.

    Have some dignity dear. Not all of us care what you aren’t doing.

  42. abbizmal says:

    @victoria:
    Did anyone else feel their “family business” talk sounded Scientology?
    Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking, not that I really know what that bullshit cult bases things on.

  43. jzhz says:

    Whatevs – she was solidly middle-class growing up (living with her grandmother part of the time), but affected a “street” attitude. I hardly think it’s classy to talk about one’s sex life so regularly (especially around the boys).

  44. Amy says:

    Yeah she always has to bring up her sex life in interviews. Someone needs to tell her that we really don’t care.

  45. Aspie says:

    Oprah asked Jada about their sex life together after 12 years of marriage (already a lifetime to some), it’s not as if Jada volunteered that information herself without prior prompting.

    Clearly, Jada is outspoken and I think her confidence is a turn off and even a threat to some.

    I think they’re a wonderful and stable family and clearly Will and Jada share something that works for them. How many other current Hollywood families can you say that about?

  46. Aspie says:

    Here we go again with the old, cliched “the lady doth protest too much, methinks” comments…so unoriginal. Ugh.

    Like I’ve said before and I’ll say again, Jada is simply a confident woman and instead of being celebrated for it, people put her down for it by calling her “arrogant” instead of “successful” and “multitalented”. It sucks and it’s sad. She is one of few black women with power in Hollywood and all people can do it complain that she is “stuck up” and “arrogant” when she’s not. She is a multifaceted and very down to earth. How many other black moms create a metal band that produces interesting music while creating films and maintaining a career that spans at least 20 years? And I’d hate to drag race into it but I think that factor may have some to do with it.

  47. Sincerity says:

    Will and Jada Smith make a very interesting couple, period. In some respects, Jada is perhaps a bit more aggressive and less guarded than Will which probably keeps their relationship “fresh”. Jada knows she’s married to an “A-list” Hollywood celebrity and she has to display her “A-game” in order to keep other women who want to “take her place” at bay. Beneath her confidence is probably a woman who’s always struggling to keep up appearances when she would rather be much more “laid back” in public. Jada is a very talented actress in her own right and it’s not always easy living in the shadow of a much more successful spouse. I really admire the Smith’s as a couple and their children are precocious, witty and charming.

  48. canadianchick says:

    I love their dog Luigi who is Cesar Milan’s little assistant on Dog Whisperer. They should’ve put Luigi on Oprah-that would’ve been more exciting than hearing about Will and Jada’s fake sex scenarios.

  49. archiepelago says:

    The kid said this??:

    “I’m pretty ripped,” he said. “I wasn’t as ripped as I am now. I was like, how he looked in I Am Legend, I looked like that.”

  50. EB says:

    They are deep in the Scientology weeds these two – except they don’t have the courage of their convictions. At least Crazy Cruise owns it and doesn’t deny it.

    I’ve never found either of them to be very good actors, merely performers aping a “sassy” attitude. They’re like a walking Pixar movie – lame joke after lame joke. The kids too.

  51. lway says:

    They are an amazing couple. Love them to bits!

  52. virginia says:

    Aspie-

    Dragging race into this is unnecessary and pathetic. Believe it or not, people CAN criticize African-Americans without it being a racial thing. Maybe you need to drop the persecution complex or victim mentality or whatever your problem is because it just makes you look like that hypersensitive, paranoid whiner that everyone just rolls their eyes at. Maybe YOU are the one with racial issues if you have to turn this into a race thing when it clearly is not. GTFOver yourself please.

  53. PrettyTarheelFan says:

    Race has jack-all to do with it. I realize Oprah asked it, but Jada responded in an aggressive way…”just how spicy do you want to get?” is not something I need to hear. You can answer that question without getting overtly sexual. I also thought the picture comment was inappropriate. Who needs to know that sh*t? I guarantee that the questions were reviewed before hand-Oprah didn’t just “spring” it on them. In fact, I wouldn’t be shocked if Jada suggested the darn question. She just talks about their sex life way too much in way too vivid detail. She could be white, black, purple, yellow, a lesbian, a transgender individual, a Scientologist, a Catholic, a Baptist,a Muslim, a vegetarian, a vegan, or a freaking NUDIST and I wouldn’t care to hear about it, since we’ve heard it repeatedly.

  54. PrettyTarheelFan says:

    Apparently, pregnancy makes me cranky. Grr.

  55. I should be working says:

    @virginia- WHOA NELLY! Aspie wasn’t whining or playing victim or displaying whatever other unsavory attribute you accused her of– she said “I think” and “maybe”… it wasn’t like she was preaching. Relax yourself! Stop going into posts complaining about the sex talk, too, please. It’s a flippin’ celebrity gossip blog, what do you expect to read about? Why don’t you visit NPR? You’ll still find sex, but probably less sensationalized.

  56. Ogechi says:

    I love this couple. Really really want to be like them

  57. Kim says:

    Me thinketh they are both gay therefore talk about their sex life so often and so openly.

  58. Mouse says:

    I will never ever like these people. Why? SCIENTOLOGY.

  59. Slymm27 says:

    Jealousy makes you nasty! Let them be, let them talk about their sex lives all they want. Stop nagging about it.

  60. missworld says:

    I admire will smith because of his acting ability and jada no ability whatsoever except to spend money and fame of her husband. In my perspective they are both full of s*** and they deserved each other.
    not even oprah show is big enough for their ego and insecurities…too much self help talk seems rehearsed and It seems to me jada feels the urge to prove something and it shows.

  61. You have an enormous blog. Thanks for sharing your opinion with me. I am delighted with your views.

  62. whispy says:

    leave these guys alone. They represent well. If you think they need help, pray for them.
