Did you know that Jada Pinkett Smith is in Magic Mike XXL? She plays a club owner who announces the acts. Other lucky bitches in this movie include Elizabeth Banks, Amber Heard and Andie MacDowell. (Love her!) I know the plot is not going to be exceptional, but I’ll be watching it for the cinematography.

Jada did an interview with Howard Stern in which she talked about Magic Mike XXL, her role on Gotham, her relationship with Tupac (?!) and her marriage to Will. The quotes about Will are getting the most press of course, and she’s said similar things about their relationship many times in the past. Say what you will about Will and Jada, they will tell you how they parent and they will tell you about their relationship. (Sometimes they reveal too much.) Here’s some of what Jada told Howard, and you can read more and hear excerpts on Howard Stern’s site.

On her marriage to Will Smith
Thank God I have a husband who is just a gangster partner. Can you imagine taking that road together from 25 to 44? It takes work Howard.

You’ve got to trust who you’re with. At the end of the day, I’m not here to be anybody’s watcher. He’s a grown man. I trust that the man that Will is a man of integrity. He’s got all the freedom in the world. As long as Will can look himself in the mirror and be ok, I’m good.

On if Will tells her about crushes
Absolutely. You have to in this business. I’m going to know anyway… just because your man is attracted to another woman does not mean he doesn’t love you [and it] does not mean he’s gonna act on it. If your man cannot see another woman’s beauty how the hell is he gonna see yours?

Tupac was her friend while they were growing up in Baltimore
[There] was no physical chemistry between us at all. It wasn’t just me. [We kissed] It had to be the most disgusting kiss for us both. The higher power just did not want that. If Pac and I had any kind of sexual chemistry we might have killed each other. We are both passionate… it was hard enough just with us being friends. We had a very volatile relationship…

I had never in my life met a person like Pac. He had so much charisma and he was poor. When I met Pac he owned two pair of pants and two sweaters. He used to tell me all the time “Jada, you’re a superstar.” He didn’t say it about himself.

Tupac changed after he came out of jail & they stopped speaking
Jail was a very difficult experience for him. Of course we were on two sides of the spectrum. Pac and I have always had very intense conversations… we had a very hardcore disagreement. I just wasn’t in agreement with the direction he was taking. I told him it was a destructive direction. He felt as though I had changed, I had gone Hollywood.

Howard asked her if she felt guilty when Tupac was murdered
I don’t think if I was guilty as much as I felt just sadness for not having the opportunity to tell him that I loved him. But I know he knew that. It wasn’t the first time that we had had a bad argument and had stopped speaking and all that. That was kind of a constant in our relationship… It definitely taught me a lesson. Life is too short. Do not let disagreements stand in between you and people that you love and care about. [Howard pointed out that she had tears in her eyes.]

[From Howard Stern]

Many of you will already know about Jada’s friendship with Tupac (Howard Stern’s site has photos of them together), which is something that I probably heard about but that didn’t stick with me. The way she talked about him really moved me, especially when she said that he would have achieved so much more if he had lived.

It’s rare that I hear a celebrity interview and come away feeling like I heard something genuine and real, but I got that from this interview. Jada is a take no prisoners type of person. I’m not a big fan of hers, I didn’t particularly like her character on Gotham when I watched the show (until about halfway through the season) and in general she makes a lot of statements that I don’t agree with (not in this interview) but she will tell you how it is. There’s something so admirable about that. I’m not even side-eyeing her thoughts about Will. Whatever they have going on seems to work for them.

Look at how tall Willow is here! It’s the shoes but still.

Mark Wahlberg, a born-and-bred Bostonian, loves everything about the New England Patriots, especially QB Tom Brady. Brady and Wahlberg have been buds for years, and Mark even asked Brady to do a cameo in Ted 2. I won’t get into specifics, but the scene involves Mark’s character and Ted (the anthropomorphized teddy bear) breaking into Tom Brady’s home while he’s asleep – you can see the SuperBowl commercial for the film here.

Anyway, they’re buds. So it’s no surprise that Mark is defending his bud. Mark has been doing some promotional work for Entourage: The Movie (Mark executive produced the HBO series and now the film), and Us Weekly chatted with him about all things Brady, Deflategate and more.

Mark’s reaction to Deflategate: “I don’t know. Listen, obviously I’m a die-hard Patriots fan, I just feel like they’re just trying to keep us down. They’re trying to keep us down. They don’t like winners. Tom is the best ever. Arguably the best ever. He’s probably going to get two more victories when it’s all done. Then he’s going to come help run the team.”

Mark texted Brady when the scandal broke: “I sent him a message — saying from a guy who’s been there, [not to] worry about it. Keep your head up. It will all blow over.’ He just sent me a very funny response. So I knew he was handling it well. They’re comparing him to Alex Rodriguez, I mean, what are you talking about? I’ll always be there to support him. He’s a good friend and the greatest thing to happen to the Patriots.”

[From Us Weekly]

I kind of love all the whining from Bostonians, like the world is against them and their team. I mean, if you love the Patriots, more power to you and God bless. Go ahead and love the Patriots and support them. But don’t act like the world is conspiring against your team when really the NFL is just trying to enforce some rather mundane rules about ball inflation and punish some people who actively obstructed their investigation.

This also bothers me: “…saying from a guy who’s been there, [not to] worry about it.” Tom Brady’s deflated balls = Mark Wahlberg violently assaulting two Vietnamese men in a racially charged hate crime?

Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe shared a shot of her two sons – Skyler, 4, and Kai, 1 – via Instagram Wednesday.

“The Mickey Mouse effect is real #mezmorized #NYmoments #bestfriends #brothersforever xoRZ,” Zoe, 43, captioned the image of her sons wearing matching white.

Last month, we spotted Rachel and her family-of-four – including husband Rodger Berman – on a Starbucks run in Beverly Glen, Calif.

The hashtag #squadgoals often appears in wanderlust Instagram captions about a power posse, but it’s best paired with the two new Suffragette trailers. Carey! Meryl! The HBC! They’re the HBICs fighting for a vote for women in the film – I’m all in.

Congratulations to David Faustino and Lindsay Bronson.

The Married… with Children star, 41, and his girlfriend are expecting their first child – a daughter – he announced via Twitter.

“Yup…” he captioned a picture of a pink baby carriage that reads, “It’s a girl!”

On Monday (June 1), the expectant parents radiated the red carpet at the L.A. premiere of Entourage in Westwood, Calif. Looking beautiful in a black dress, Bronson was all smiles alsongside a proud Faustino who cradled her growing baby bump.

Yesterday, People Magazine published one of the strangest royal propaganda pieces in recent memory. Actually, People published three big royal stories yesterday, but the Prince William story and Duchess Kate story were pretty obvious in their intent, both of which were designed to make Will and Kate look “normal” and “middle class” and “just like us.” But in the wake of those stories, People did this one on Princess Beatrice and how she’s going to move to New York soon. That could have been the intent of the story – Bea is coming to NYC, yay! – but they veered off course a few times and I’m trying to figure out why. Here’s the story:

Princess Beatrice has been dating her boyfriend, American-born Dave Clark, for nearly 10 years – and rumors have long swirled that not everyone in the royal family approves. Beatrice, 26 – who was spotted eating out at The Ivy in London on Wednesday – is “very steely under everything – she is a strong character but a little bit more sensitive,” a family friend tells PEOPLE, adding that questions about her romance “must be difficult for her.”

The buzz picked up again after the birth of her royal cousin Princess Charlotte, whose arrival pushed Beatrice’s spot in line to the British throne down to No. 7. According to succession rules, only the first six in line must ask permission from Queen Elizabeth to marry. But Bea’s mother, Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson, 55, has given her endorsement, telling PEOPLE that she loves “Mr. Smiley,” as she refers to him.

“She calls him that because he is constantly smiling,” the source tells PEOPLE. “Dave is absolutely charming.”

The U.S.-born, U.K.-raised Clark is famous among the couple’s inner circle “for his cheeseburgers,” says a friend. “In fact, it’s a joint effort, as Bea helps too.”

Clark, who left Virgin Galactic to work at car service Uber, lives in New York City – where Beatrice is soon expected to join him. She is still on schedule to start a new role at a private equity firm in the city following the short finance course that she took on the West Coast earlier this year, a source close to her confirms to PEOPLE.

It was thought that she would start in Manhattan at some point in the summer, but the timing is yet to be firmed up, the source adds.

The elder daughter of Fergie and Prince Andrew hasn’t worked since leaving her job at Sony Europe last December. In the meantime, she has been enjoying some high-glam downtime on various luxe getaways. Last weekend she attended the glamorous wedding of London friends Joseph Getty and Sabine Ghanem in Rome, where she looked pretty in pale pink. She and her sister Princess Eugenie, 25, live a jet-set life, mixing with international billionaires, vacationing in St. Tropez and partying with their close friend, Virgin CEO Richard Branson, and his family.

“It’s a different lifestyle to most members of the royal family,” says a source who has met the princess several times.

[From People]

My theory is that Beatrice’s press people – who are probably Prince Andrew’s press people and they just try to run light propaganda pieces on Beatrice and Eugenie occasionally – were trying to kick back on a few tabloid stories that have been percolating for a few months now. But if they were trying to do damage control, it’s too little and too late. Beatrice doesn’t seem to have a “glamorous, jet-set life” as much as she seems to have gone on fifteen vacations in seven months’ time, and she hasn’t paid for a single one of those vacations herself.

As for the Dave Clark stuff… questions about their relationship “must be difficult for her”? Why is that? Because they’ve been together 10 years and he hasn’t proposed? Or is that he hasn’t proposed because several high-ranking royals have issues with Dave?

So, what was the real purpose of this story? I’m really struggling to figure it out. What was the goal here?

Following its well-received premiere in Cannes a couple weeks ago, the first teaser trailer for Macbeth was released today. It’s good. Really good. A lot better, to me at least, than those clips that were released during the festival. Michael Fassbender is convincingly unhinged. You can almost se…      

Look who’s all grown up!

As she approaches her 17th birthday next month, Bindi Irwin, the daughter of the late Steve Irwin, shared an updated image on Instagram.

“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. “What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.” – S. Westerfeld,” she captioned the black and white selfie.

The budding actress recently shared a shot with her brother Robert, 11.

Last year, the Australian teenager opened up about dressing your age.

“I’m a big advocate for young girls dressing their age,” she told News Corp Australia. “I mean, for me, I look around at a lot of young girls that are my age and they’re always trying to dress older. Whether it’s wearing revealing clothes or hardly wearing any clothes at all, I feel really bad for them. It kind of has the opposite effect in some ways – it kind of does the opposite where it makes you look younger and like you’re trying too hard.”

Kit Harington has been in NYC all week to promote Testament of Youth with Alicia Vikander. He’s been talking about the film a lot, and it’s clear that he’s proud to promote something other than Game of Thrones. But he’s been a good guy when it comes to the GoT questions: he’s been answering all of them without whining (too much) and he’s even revealed some interesting GoT news here and there. So… we were due for a major complaint from Kit. He’s been too well-behaved. Of course he had to fall back on his favorite subject: how painful it is for people to admire his beauty.

ScreenRant: You’ve expressed frustration about being pigeonholed as a “hunk.” Was that a concern in Testament of Youth, taking on a role where Roland is such a dream-boy for Vera?

Kit Harington: No. No. It’s never a concern. I dislike the word “hunk.” I’ve been asked about it a lot. It came up at a kind of HFPA conference. Someone said, “Do you like being referred to as a hunk?” And I went, “No, I don’t like being referred to as a hunk.” It’s a f–king ridiculous thing to be referred to as. It’s like calling a girl a “babe.” It’s frankly offensive. But I never saw Roland as a hunk. I saw him as a very romantic young man who is just really interesting to play.

[From ScreenRant]

For the love of God, Kit. This feels like it’s more about the narcissism of actors who truly believe that they are the most put-upon people in the world. The word “hunk” hurts poor Kit’s soul and he’s deeply offended. But would he be offended if I called him a wee, sad-faced bastard?

Oh and because HUNK Kit Harington is like the Jennifer Aniston of Game of Thrones, he keeps talking about his hair. He told Page Six: “For ‘Thrones,’ my long hair’s never shampooed so it appears dirty and medieval. Nothing’s washed or cleaned on the show. Everything’s filthy and smelly to look realistic. Seems short in this movie because I wear an officer’s cap and it’s stuffed under a wig.” He also said that his fans were freaked out about his ToY wiglet: “It always surprises me how much people care. I don’t understand it, frankly, but then again, I don’t pay much attention to the Internet .?.?. You want to be able to adapt as an actor .?.?. At the moment I’m having to rock a certain look.”

What else? Kit listed his top five favorite films and it’s a pretty American-heavy list. You can see the list here and read his Rotten Tomatoes interview.

Dear Gossips,

Paris. Roland Garros. Where Rafa has ruled for a decade. Rafa is King. Was king? No one knows yet if that moment will become THE moment, the kind of moment when everything changes. And he’s certainly not talking like he wants it to become that particular moment. But it’s hard no…
