Jada Pinkett Smith sings about lost love
This is not going to help with the marriage trouble rumours. Unbeknown to most people Jada Pinkett Smith is a rocker, and a hard rocker at that, who is not afraid to get her feelings out there to blistering guitar riffs and heavy drumbeats. Last Sunday, the actress and her metal band Wicked Wisdom released a video for their long-awaited new track, Stuck.
The 42-year-old sings her heart out in the power ballad in which she laments about a lost love. With reports that her marriage to Will Smith is under strain, the already poignant lyrics could be interpreted as somewhat of a revelation by the Hawthorne star — who even appears to stare longingly at a wedding ring in the clip. In the dark song, the star — who sports a very metal partially shaved head in the clip – sings: “I remember when you kissed me, Said you’d always love me, Your words broke me and left me there, Staring at a shadow.” And it does not end there, with the mother of two melodically howling: “Some nights I feel the way you touch me, Those nights I believe that you once loved me, Tonight I wish that you could hold me, And now it’s time to end this story.”
In the clip, which Jada posted on her Twitter on Sunday, the actress seems to be fighting to get out of a dark emotional place, and the video makes sure to use all the classic angsty metal imagery of darkened rooms, blood and broken dreams represented by smashed vases of white roses. And, just to push the point home, Pinkett Smith as the female protagonist is filmed running away from someone or something throughout the video.

Kate Moss lands another spot in Vogue
Kate Moss appears in American Vogue’s newly released December issue in a spread set in Istanbul’s lush landscape. The supermodel takes to the streets of Turkey’s much-visited city in an array of designer outfits, often accompanied by English actor and 12 Years a Slave star Chiwetel Ejiofor in a spread titled ‘The Silk Road’. Moss looks every bit the seasoned supermodel in her newest Vogue spread. She and Ejiofor visit The Egyptian Bazaar and the Cinili Kosk, among other sites — creating a vivid scene for outfits by the likes of Dior, Ralph Lauren, and Proenza Schouler. Moss and Ejiofor even pose with whirling dervishes mid-dance and take a sail on the Bosphorus.

Nicole Kidman opens up
She scooped the Best Actress Oscar in 2003 for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf in The Hours. And while that particular Academy Award is the one most coveted by all actresses, it wasn’t as happy a moment as it should have been for Nicole Kidman. The 46-year-old has opened up about the bittersweet victory in a new interview in the December issue of the Australian version of Harper’s Bazaar. Nicole apparently told the magazine that winning such a prestigious award “can show you the emptiness of your own life, which is kind of what it showed me”. The star had divorced Tom Cruise less than two years earlier, and recalled how she “was having professional success and my personal life was struggling”.
She previously told Vanity Fair of portraying Woolf: “Walking into the river with those stones in my pockets — I chose life. At the time, I was at a low point, and by playing her, it put me into a place of appreciating life.” Nicole graces the cover of the issue, in which she replicates the 1992 holiday cover for the US issue, which starred Kate Moss holding a snow globe.The stark spread — shot by James White – also shows the To Die For actress in a strapless black lace gown with a plunging neckline.
