As in, …
Even when you have the most laissez-faire, No Curfew, "You're-Going-To-Drink-So-Drink-In-The-House-Here's-Some-Patron" liberal Hollywood parents ever, you still want to fly the parental coop. Case in point: For Jaden Smith's 15th birthday this July, he asked Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith if they'd sign the papers to…

Then you'll come to the bit about how NBC's corporate…
In his first publicized trip to the U.S. since August's disastrous dongscapade, Prince Harry and his Prince Hairy will be touring the states again this May "on behalf of charities with which the Prince is closely associated." You have two months to ready the slip-and-slide and the Jell-O.

Ahem. Jada Pinkett Smith, one of the premiere Awesome Moms of our time, has something to say. And then she will drop the mic. But first:
NBC has taken their Ann Curry ostracization to whole new level by unceremoniously banishing the much-maligned morning show anchor to Today's Phantom Zone of recorded video.
