Trey Smith, first son of Hollywood star actor, Will Smith, is telling everyone who cares to listen that his father's marriage to Jada Smith is not over and dismissed any insinuation that the two are getting a divorce.

Trey, whose own mum was divorced by Will Smith about 13 years ago, had this to say on his Twitter page on Tuesday: "Will and Jada getting a DIVORCE... NOT TRUE AT ALL!! "

Recall that the international media was awash early Tuesday with news that Will and Jada had separated and are filling for a divorce. The two have been married for 13 years with kids...

‘Unwanted Guest Is A Must-See Movie'

Chuck Ajoku, a Nigerian-born US-based filmmaker, speaks about his debut effort - UNWANTED GUEST. Here is a glimpse of what he said about the movie in a recent media interview:

It's about a guy who is married and the wife lives in Nigeria. You know it takes a long time for you to get a Green Card, talk less of citizenship. He gets involved in a relationship with an African American girl. This is what happens in many men's lives abroad. You travel two/three years, you're going to get involved one way or the other. So he gets involved. He still talks to his wife; he's still in love with his wife. The wife won a Green Card Lottery, decided to surprise him in the United States on his birthday. He got a phone call with a New York number. He comfortably picked up the phone and it was his wife calling from JFK airport; and from that time onwards, that was it; and when you see the end of this movie, it's crazy. It's a must-see for every woman. I learnt something after the production of this movie. I used to assume a lot; I don't do that anymore so everybody has something to learn; especially the women.
The plot looks somewhat interesting. You all should encourage this talented young man by taking time to go see the movie when it drops.

Sexual Assault Case Against Ex-IMF Chief, Strauss-Kahn, Dismissed

A New York judge on Tuesday dropped the criminal sexual assault charges against ex-IMF chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, after prosecutors said they’ve lost faith in the credibility of his accuser. "If we do not believe her beyond a reasonable doubt, we cannot ask a jury to do so," they argued.

The decision gave freedom to the man seen by many as a leading contender to the office of President of France and a fresh chance to rebuild his ‘tarnished’ political career. The former IMF chief appeared in court with his wife, Anne Sinclair, and the pair left the hearing smiling.

However, Strauss-Kahn is not yet free to return to France, after New York State Supreme Court Justice, Michael Obus, stayed his dismissal of the case for an emergency appeal.... Will keep you guys posted with the rest of the case.
