True.

Stymie said:

Good point.

I'm skeptical as Will and Jada have talked about their marriage together and separately and this has yet to come up but I do realize it could very well be true to which I say whatever works for them. Every marriage is different. Ultimately, what matters is that they and their children are happy and healthy. Whatever construct they build their marriage on and around is up to them.

in that pic....posh spice looks like one of them cheap dollar store dolls that are Barbie wanna be's. Her legs especially look like that. in fact, that vacant look and super thinnes, she looks like that a lot...

Now I get to thinking...she embodies Hollywood...vacant, shallow, and superficial-ness in that whole look. Hollywood people are so pretentious

KatSkrizzle said:

i disagree. look at that picture. you can just TELL by the looks on their faces they can't wait to leave that hollywood event so they can go to some smokey cafe and discuss Proust and the essence of being until 5am. okay, well, tom cruise might chime in with some sylvia plath readings, but when i look at their faces i see PROUST, PROUST, PROUST. and a little sylvia.

it's right there, clear as mud.

Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis had an open marriage and they were together forever it can work

I saw Jada at an event. She's really small

Anxiety said:

Damn, I JUST realized how big Katie is (height wise) Will Smith is a pretty big motherf***a, and she's his height with heels on? Good lord, Katy could probably sit Tom on her knee with a red wig on like a Howdy Doody doll and I bet no one would be the wiser

Ossie and Ruby? Dang!!! Heartbreaking.


This reads, if memory serves, just like the last article that mentioned such a thing. If it's real and if it's a real confirmation, the only thing I see it doing is preempting the publicizing of some embarrassing information. Kind of odd, coming from the cat who used to talk about running for president one day.

Anxiety said:

i read this response without seeing your signature or your avvie and I still knew it was you.

Ottensen said:

Come on, Ottie. Why he gotta be Howdy Doody and shit????

But, she really IS an Amazon next to him. He's the same height as Jada.

Janfriend said:

She's not even a gamine or a waif or pixie, little mama is a straight up elf. She's sooooo miniscule

Janfriend said:

And you know this how?

You can read it here. I Googled it, but I wouldn't be surprised if Wikipedia had something on it, too.

so they had an open marriage but then realized that it was a bad idea?

I dont think this "open" marriage thing is right and Im not apologizing for it.I dont believe that that is a marriage.I dont care if they give eachother permission or whatever...its still adultery and their kids are a part of their marriage also.Would will be okay if his daughter Willow got into a "marriage" like this one?And what happens if during sex somebody catches feelings...or gets pregnant???They shouldnt risk so many things just for some pleasure with someone else than your husband or wife.And it is natural to be attracted to someone else but never is it a neccessity to sleep with them.
Ive shared my opionion ono other boards and people said I dont have an "open" mind.I have an open mind but I also have certain morals and standards in my life that I refuse 2 change.Im kind of sad 2 b/c I looked up to their marriage being a young African American woman.
Lets just hope Obama and Michelle keep it together.

This type of relationship would not work for me but if it works for somebody else fine

all of this is your opinion. You can't dictate to another couple how their relationship should be. Nobody is in a position to say what is right or what is wrong in their circumstances. The only person you can control is you. What you consider moral may not be the same for another.

PleasurePrinciple said:

i think those are fantastic ideals and standards. for YOU.

i think it's great that you are resolute in your values, but maybe other people are resolute in other ways of thinking and living as well, and as long as they're taking personal responsibility for the way they live and they're not hurting other people, i think it's just common respect to say "to each their own" and let people be without throwing judgment into the ring. there's already too much judgment getting thrown around in the world and too many people living in glass houses in the first place. i admire them for being honest with each other, and for taking on a public role as a celebrity couple with a successful non-traditional marriage. even if i thought their marriage was a bunch of crap, it doesn't effect me, so i'm not even gonna bother mixing my karma and bad energy into the lives of people i don't even know. ya know?

PleasurePrinciple said:

Respectfully: even if I disagreed with these people's personal, private lives, there's no way I'd give this much of a shit. Frankly, there are bigger and better things over which to lose sleep, no?

Anxiety said:

I just find her post hilarious considering Prince's history with the ladies.

But that glass house thing works, too.

ThreadBare said:

Did Will talk about running for president? If he did, the cheating on his first wife wouldn't go over well

Janfriend said:

If anything, it would make him less of an anomaly. Men and women in "power" cheat all the time, not that it isn't common for less influential men and women, either.

ThreadBare said:

Well, just looking at this upcoming election and people talking about candidates "moral code" and who they associate with and what kind of pastor they have, I doubt cheating would be accepted
