"Adult don't understand us" Jaden and Willow Smith open up in their first joint cover for Interview Magazine
In their first joint cover, Willow and Jaden Smith posed together for
Interview magazine in a high fashion shoot and sat down with Pharrell
Williams for a Q&A. The teens opened up about a wide range of topics
from their parents, generational discrepancies to where they see
themselves in 10 years. The siblings noted that sometimes they feel misunderstood by judgemental adults.
"It seems like they don't understand our thought process. Or, like, things have happened in the past that they are still mad about," Willow,15, said.
But that is OK as their famous parents...Will and Jada Pinkett Smith
completely understand them and they couldn't be more proud of their
parents.
"My parents are definitely my biggest role models. And that's where me and Willow both pull all of our inspiration from to change the world," Jaden, 18, said.
Willow:
"Growing up, all I saw was my parents trying to be the best people they could be and people coming to them for wisdom, coming to them for guidance, and them not putting themselves on a pedestal, but literally being face-to-face with these people and saying, ‘I’m no better than you, but the fact that you’re coming to me to reach some sort of enlightenment or to shine a light on some- thing, that makes me feel love and gratitude for you.’ They always give back what people give to them. And sometimes they keep giving and giving and giving. And some people don’t feel like they need to give anything back because it’s like, ‘Oh, if you’re famous, you can just keep giving, and it doesn’t matter.’ It’s not just about money. It’s not just about giving people gifts or whatever. What my parents have given to me is not anything that has to do with money or success or anything that society says people should be focusing on—it’s something spiritual that only certain people can grasp and accept. And that’s how I act and move in the world today.
Jaden:
"I 100 percent agree with Willow on that one. My parents are definitely my biggest role models. And that’s where me and Willow both pull all of our inspiration from to change the world. It all comes from a concept of affecting the world in a positive way and leaving it better than it was than when we came. I feel like that enters into all types of different areas because there are so many different outlets that life has to offer for us. That goes into technology, into music. That goes into science, into spirituality, into education. Where me and Willow come from, a lot of it is trying to make society more efficient, so that kids don’t cry, like, ‘Why do I have to go to school?’ Instead, kids are like, ‘Yeah! I’m so glad to go to school! I’m a better person than I was yesterday, and I can help people.’"

rage.

The Florida businessman previously accused Miss Hunt of stealing $2.1million worth of jewellery from the safe in his massive mansion following their split last summer.
In response she claims Mitchell gave her black eyes and bruises before breaking off their wedding in August. But Mitchell's attorney Todd Foster told FOX 13:
Mitchell and Hunt dated for two years, within the time, Mitchell claimed he paid for everything, including her mortgage, credit card debt, health insurance and let her drive his 2015 Mercedes Benz.

The Florida businessman previously accused Miss Hunt of stealing $2.1million worth of jewellery from the safe in his massive mansion following their split last summer.
In response she claims Mitchell gave her black eyes and bruises before breaking off their wedding in August. But Mitchell's attorney Todd Foster told FOX 13:
“The explanation for the black eye is now very different.There is no evidence that he ever beat her. This video now demonstrates that she is striking herself in the same area of the face and head that they allege Scott struck her.”
Mitchell’s legal team have now hired a former FBI forensic expert to study the footage.
Hunt has spoken out about the alleged abuse in the past.
She told the TV station in June: “There were so many times when I wanted
to give up, but I couldn’t do it anymore and I think about how much he
would have wanted this.”
Earlier this year, Mitchell filed a lawsuit against Hunt and her
parents, The lawsuit is claiming costs to recover stolen items plus
damages for a total of $4million. He claims Hunt's parents helped her
hide his jewels which include 99 three-diamond necklaces, 147 gold rings
and 172 loose diamonds.
Mr Mitchell's lawyers also produced CCTV footage allegedly showing Ms
Hunt stealing valuables from his mansion, but Ms Hunt's lawyers have
contested the images, hiring a video expert who suggested the footage
could have been doctored. Ms Hunt's legal team have also released
private security footage, showing Mr Mitchell having an angry meltdown
on his drive way, in an attempt to demonstrate his fiery temperament.
Mitchell and Hunt dated for two years, within the time, Mitchell claimed he paid for everything, including her mortgage, credit card debt, health insurance and let her drive his 2015 Mercedes Benz.

Yahoo News says Kim and Kanye seemed more into their phones than each other when the cameras weren't rolling
There seemed to be a “diskonnect” between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West at the 2016 MTV VMAs. The power couple was the toast of the room last night - everyone wanted to take selfies with her or get him alone to hear one of his bizarre rants in person. But with all the behind-the-scenes cameras running on MTV.com, aka the best part of last night’s show, they seemed “on” when the spotlight was on them and “off” when it wasn’t.
In their front row seats, the pair, who married in 2014, had their arms around one another and were even gazing into each other’s eyes. (Oh, Kanye, you genius you. Oh, Kim, you are the most beautiful woman on the planet.) Backstage though, they sat apart even though there were chairs side by side. They seemed far more into their phones than each other.

The new camp is about 4-6km away from the BHT location attacked earlier on 20 August 2016 by NAF Mi-17 helicopter within the same vicinity in a similar night operation that led to the death of about 300 insurgents. The post-strike Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) mission had revealed that surviving BHTs converged at the new location.
According to the Director, NAF Public Relations and Information, Group Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa, the information was later confirmed to be true by series of follow-up Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions that led to the latest strike.
Recall that the general area around Malam Fatori and
Kangarwa is infested with BHTs hence the need to clear the remnants of
BHT in the area. The air assault is therefore expected to further
degrade the capability of the insurgents while fostering the creation of
the necessary enablement for own ground troops to operate.

The former couple have had a long-standing bitter
feud which reached its climax earlier this year with a very public row
about sex- but judging by these pictures taken backstage, it looks like
they finally have put their past issues behind them.
Kanye who attended the event with his wife had given a shout out to Amber when he said 'I see you Amber'
A source at the event last night told The Sun Online:
“Amber and Kanye met up backstage and it was surprising how well they got on. They couldn’t stop smiling at each other and Amber reached out to him as soon as she saw him. Kanye made a beeline for her.

instructing black school pupils to straighten their hair. Black school
girls claim that they have been subjected to racism and that their
blackness has been discouraged. They added that school rules forbid
African hairstyles such as afro, Bantu knots, dreadlocks and braids.
#StopRacismAtPretoriaGirlsHigh is currently trending in South Africa. Videos and photos of pupils protesting at the school, one of them sporting an afro, went viral over the weekend
A petition STOP RACISM AT PRETORIA GIRLS HIGH which has over 9,889 signatures so far, has been set up asking the authorities to investigate the school. Part of the petition read:
Spokesperson, Elijah Mhlanga told DRUM that it is too soon to determine what action will be taken against whom at the school if the girls’ concerns are valid.
Meanwhile, the situation at the school has escalted with political youth movement gathering outside the main gate. Members of SASCO,COSAS, the African National Congress Youth League and Economic Freedom Fighters tried to force their way into the school premises after the school's management barred parents from coming in to fetch their children.

He is currently in a meeting with parents, management as well as the school principal Karen Du Toit.
Spokesperson, Elijah Mhlanga told DRUM that it is too soon to determine what action will be taken against whom at the school if the girls’ concerns are valid.
"I can’t have a blanket solution for every time there is an outburst of racism at a school because each case is unique," he says. "We want to know what is going on here before we can make a comment"The girls also claim they are not allowed to speak their mother tongue and that a teacher called them monkeys when they were singing and chanting in class.
