Oh snap, you guys. If this is true, fuck … I’ll be so disappointed in the Fresh Prince that I won’t be able to watch reruns at 2 AM anymore when I’m having fits of insomnia and the desire for shitty takeout Chinese food and that? Is bad.
According to author Terry McMillan, Will and wife Jada are pushing their kids to succeed in the entertainment field in order to capitalize off of their fame, because apparently they don’t have enough money or something. McMillan took to her Twitter earlier in the week saying:

Looking at this image of Will and Jada with their kids Willow and Jaden at the London premiere of The Karate Kid is just like looking at so many albums from my own childhood. The paparazzi, the glamor, the historical surroundings… Can’t we all relate to this?
Check the gallery below to conjure up more memories from your own childhood…

Word on the street is that action hero Jackie Chan is gonna land the role of Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid remake that will star Jaden Smith.
The role was originally played by the irreplaceable Pat Morita, who died in 2005.
Personally, I don’t really care who plays Mr. Miyagi. I find Jaden Smith so eternally and hopelessly annoying that I wouldn’t see this movie even if Brad Pitt’s erect penis played Mr. Miyagi.
What do you guys think of this decision?

Okay, seriously, on a scale of 1 to 10 — with 1 being a Duggar child and 10 being Lindsay Lohan — how obnoxious and self-absorbed is Jaden Smith going to be by the time he’s a teenager?
Because I’m thinking, like, 11.
Here’s Jaden pimping out his new flick, The Day the Earth Stood Still, in Japan.

Jaden Smith shows up looking more like an umbrella than a little boy at the NYC premiere of The Day the Earth Stood Still. I just think he looks ridiculous. This is not a fashion statement. When your hair, like, presents a drowning risk, it’s time for a change. Those tight curls can be really hot, but not at that length.
It is worth noting that he looks more and more like dad Will with each passing day.

So, Columbia Pictures is remaking The Karate Kid … as a star vehicle for Will Smith’s progeny, Jaden.
The film will be produced by Jerry Weintraub (who launched the original franchise) and Overbrook Entertainment’s James Lassiter, Will Smith and Ken Stovitz. Will Smith, who is the 10-year-old actor’s father, co-starred alongside Jaden in his feature debut, “The Pursuit of Happyness,” which Overbrook and Escape Artists produced for Columbia.
The script is being written by Chris Murphy, and the film will shoot next year in Beijing and other cities. While the new film will be set in that exotic locale, it will borrow elements of the original plot, wherein a bullied youth learns to stand up for himself with the help of an eccentric mentor.
China Film Group Corp. will co-produce in China.
The younger Smith, who next stars in “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” is a martial arts practitioner.
Dude, I’d be famous, too, if Will Smith were my father, pulling every imaginable string to put me in the public eye and create a level of fame for me that I’m in no way equipped to handle, allowing the world to cast a larger-than-life image on me that I’m too young to differentiate from the person I actually am, leading to a lifelong and painful struggle to become this non-existent, impossible person I feel I ought to be. Instead, I had a dad who cared about my best interests. No fair.
