Will Smith Discusses His Open Marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith in New Interview
Will Smith opened up about his non-traditional marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith in an interview for the November cover of GQ on Monday. “Jada never believed in conventional marriage,” he said. “Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship. So she grew up in a way that was very different than how I grew up.” There were significant endless discussions about, what is relational perfection? What is the perfect way to interact as a couple?” he continued. “And for the large part of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose, not thinking of monogamy as the only relational perfection.” Smith and Pinkett Smith tied the knot in December 1997, before welcoming their son, Jaden Smith, in 1998, and their daughter, Willow Smith, in 2000. Throughout their marriage, they have been...

In a new interview with Guitar World magazine, Yngwie Malmsteen reflected on the embarrassing drunken episode on an airplane more than three decades ago which inspired the title of his “Unleash The Fury” album.

I fly first-class and the band and crew fly coach — that’s the way it is. But back then, some knucklehead decided to put everybody i...

Five Burning Questions: Lil Nas X’s ‘Montero’ Debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart
1. No. 2 and 126,000 equivalent album units is obviously an excellent performance for a debut album by just about anyone — but if you’re Lil Nas X, are you smarting a little bit that you’re held at the runner-up spot for your big week, both by Drake’s Certified Lover Boy on the Billboard 200 and The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s “Stay” on the Billboard Hot 100? And which do you think has a better shot of eventually climbing to No. 1, Montero or “Industry Baby”? Rania Aniftos: I’m sure with all the build-up leading to the album release, Lil Nas X was hoping for the top spot on the charts, but he knows better than anyone that any big Hot 100 hit eventually gets dethroned.

Finally, my wife [Evaluna Montaner] called me and said: ‘Love, you’re nominated for like 10 awards.’ I said, “What does ‘like 10’ mean exactly?” She said, “It means you have 10 nominations.” You’re up for awards in pop, urban and tropical categories, as well as album, song and record of the year. Which is most significant? They all pinp...
