Jada Pinkett Smith volvió a negar las acusaciones de que Will Smith se enganchó con Duane Martin, pero esta vez fue un poco más lejos. Dijo que no ha habido ningún tipo de enredo similar a este con ningún hombre.

La actriz se puso firme una vez más sobre el chisme en Nueva York el miércoles. Esto, no mucho después de que nos dijera que ella y su marido planean tomar acciones legales. En respuesta a la pregunta de si los rumores entre Will y Duane son una tontería, ella simplemente dijo: "Por supuesto".

Sin embargo, cuando el fotógrafo le pregunta si ella ha visto a Will con cualquier otro hombre (obviamente, en el ámbito sexual), Jada también lo rechazó rotundamente.

Echa un vistazo a lo que dijo, suena como que nunca ha visto nada de eso con sus propios ojos y podemos decir que lo dice en serio por la insistencia.

Por supuesto, su firmeza se hace eco de lo que nos dijo el miércoles, a saber, que los Smith tomarían acciones legales contra Brother Bilaal, y posiblemente otros, quienes iniciaron esta historia sin fundamento que alude explícitamente al sexo gay.

Por cierto, Jada abordó todas estas cuestiones en "The Breakfast Club" el miércoles, apuntando a la posibilidad de que su próximo paso sea el aterrizaje en la corte.

Como recordarán, Brother Bilaal, un hombre que dice que es ex asistente y amigo de Will dijo a principios de esta semana que una vez vio a Will en el camerino de Duane, inclinado sobre un sofá y teniendo sexo anal con Duane.

Jada Pinkett Smith is doubling down on denying Will Smith hooked up with Duane Martin -- but going a bit further now ... saying there hasn't been a whiff of this with any dude.

The actress put her foot down yet again on the gossip in NYC on Wednesday -- not long after she told us she and her hubby planned on suing. In response to being asked if the Will and Duane chatter was baloney ... she simply said, "Absolutely" ... reiterating her initial denial.

However, when the photog here asks a follow-up -- namely, whether she's seen Will with any man (obviously meaning in a sexual nature) ... JPS emphatically shoots that down as well.

Check out what she has to say ... sounds like she's never seen anything like that with her own two eyes -- and you can tell she means it by the repetition here.

Of course, her being firm echoes what she told us Wednesday as well ... namely, that the Smiths would be taking legal action against Brother Bilaal -- and possibly others -- for floating the unsubstantiated story that explicitly mentioned gay sex.

BTW, Jada elaborated on all this on "The Breakfast Club" Wednesday -- further pointing to the possibility of this landing in court as her family's next step.

You'll recall, Brother Bilaal -- a man who says he's Will's former assistant/friend -- said earlier this week he once walked in on Will bent over a couch in Duane's dressing room, with the 2 having anal sex.

A rep for Will told us, "This story is completely fabricated and the claim is unequivocally false" ... and sources told us Duane had no plans to publicly respond to Bilaal's claim -- 'cause the allegations are so ridiculous.

DaBaby thinks he got the best of Jay-Z when they popped up the same track -- and isn't shy about singing his own praises ... even at the expense of one of the rap G.O.A.T.s.

Shannon Sharpe recently had the "Bop" rapper on his "Club Shay Shay" podcast and his take on Lil Yachty's opinion that DaBaby had a better verse than Jay on Kanye West's "Jail" track from his 2021 "Donda" album.

DaBaby got added to the track last minute along with Marilyn Manson and wholeheartedly agreed with Lil Yachty that his verse was superior to Jay's.

He noted that they didn't record at the same time so it wasn't a direct competition and they had no knowledge of each other's verses, but when the final results came in ... DaBaby Did!!!

Snoop Dogg dice que está dejando el humo para siempre, una actividad que ha sido sinónimo de su carrera desde el primer día. Francamente, es difícil saber si esto es legítimo o no.

El Doggfather sorprendió a sus seguidores de Instagram el jueves: "Después de mucha consideración y conversación con mi familia, he decidido dejar de fumar. Por favor, respeten mi privacidad en este momento". La verdad es que parece decirlo muy en serio.

Los aficionados hicieron miles de comentarios y lanzaron sus propias teorías: "Snoop sin la chronic es como el ying sin el yang" y muchos pensaron que simplemente estaba cambiando a comestibles para mantener sus pulmones limpios.

Snoop ya había dejado de fumar en el pasado, en torno al lanzamiento de "Paid tha Cost to Be da Bo$$" en 2002, pero el año sabático duró poco, ya que unos años más tarde entró en la era de Snoop Lion. Lo explicó en una entrevista por aquel entonce, diciendo que simplemente no podía dejar la ganja.

Irónicamente, su amigo Wiz Khalifa anunció recientemente todo lo contrario, el aumento de su consumo de yerba en pro de abandonar el alcohol por completo.

Puede ser una batalla cuesta arriba, Snoop acaba de publicar una foto de su cenicero muy lleno hace menos de una semana... tal vez solo se estaba preparando para la desintoxicación.

André 3000 is coming clean about his decision to walk away from OutKast at the peak of their success ... saying he simply lost his drive to rap.

In a video interview with GQ to promote his upcoming instrumental album, André not only admitted his creative juices for the group had dried up but said he hasn't been harboring a boatload of unreleased raps like everyone accuses him of.

At 48 years old, 3 Stacks says sometimes rapping even feels "inauthentic" for him ... and he feels like he'd have to make more age-appropriate music -- in his case, dropping bars about having a colonoscopy and trips to the eye doctor.

OutKast's 2004 album "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below" was certified 13x Platinum this year -- making it the biggest-selling rap album of all-time ... but as Sleepy Brown hinted to us in the summer, André was embarking on another journey ... one without words.

The new project "New Blue Sun" is mainly composed of his flute recordings ... the opening track is titled "I Really Wanted To Make A 'Rap' Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time" --- and there's even a warning label informing fans there are no bars to be found!!!

André tells GQ that his chemistry with Big Boi changed over time and while he didn't want to be thrust into the limelight again, he needed the press run to promote the music he believes in so much.

Snoop Dogg says he's giving up the smoke for good ... an activity that's been synonymous with his career since day one -- but, frankly, it's hard to tell if this is legit or not.

The Doggfather shocked his IG followers on Thursday with the PSA ... "After much consideration & conversation with my family, I've decided to give up smoke. Please respect my privacy at this time." On its face, it's a serious announcement ... it ain't 4/1 today.

Fans struggled to wrap their hands around the announcement in the comments -- Snoop without the chronic is like the ying without the yang ... and many figured he was just switching to edibles to keep his lungs clear.

Snoop's quit smoking before -- circa the release of his 2002 "Paid tha Cost to Be da Bo$$" -- but the sabbatical was short-lived as he entered his Snoop Lion era a few years later. He explained this in a sit-down around that time ... saying he simply couldn't quit the ganja.

Ironically his 'Mac & Devin' pal Wiz Khalifa recently announced the complete opposite -- increasing his smoke intake in favor of ditching alcohol altogether.

It may be an uphill battle -- Snoop just recently flicked a pic of his heavily stuffed ashtray less than a week ago ... but maybe he was just preparing for the detox.

Cardi B is coming to Will Smith's defense amid a rumor that he had sex with Duane Martin -- one he denies, BTW -- and she's also dragging the blogger who aired this laundry.

The rapper hopped on IG Live Wednesday night to talk about the story. She doesn't really weigh in on the veracity of the claim -- or what she makes of the allegation itself -- but simply says Will's unproblematic ... and that he doesn't deserve this treatment.

Cardi brings up his horoscope (Libra) and says she believes Libras are constantly being tested by others --speaking as one herself -- until they eventually snap ... seemingly referencing WS's infamous Oscars slap.

Basically, she sees it as unfair when people are pushed to their limits and when they act out -- the public gives them side-eye. She also thinks it's wild folks can get on a big platform and just say anything about anyone ... and that it picks up major traction, even if it's BS.

This is where she lays into Tasha K -- who, BTW, is the same woman CB successfully sued for defamation. Remember, Tasha technically owes Cardi about $3.4 million in a judgment.

It was just a few weeks ago that Cardi signaled an apparent softening on trying to enforce that payout -- but here, CB seems to be reversing course ... saying some people never change.

She lays into Tasha for allowing the supposed ex-friend/assistant of Will to get on her podcast and make such an outlandish allegation ... and says that has to stop STAT.

FWIW, Tasha keeps landing in trouble ... mind you, she just got sued by R. Kelly. Now, after Jada said a lawsuit's coming -- she could possibly see herself named as a defendant again.

Drake just announced he's following up on his newest album only a month after its release ... and some fans think it's a direct move reacting to the viral bashing from Joe Budden.

Shortly after Drake announced his "Scary Hours 3" EP would arrive at midnight, Budden's name became a trending topic crediting him for the quick OVO Sound turnaround.

They also predicted Drake would give him a lyrical thrashing on at least one of the songs ... a fact JB seemed to revel in with his crying emojis reaction!!!

If you remember on the weekend of 'Dogs' release, JB criticized Drake for blending in with the teeny boppers, even slamming the Yeat collab "IDGAF" ... which has been the runaway fan favorite on streaming.

In fact, 'Dogs' surpassed the 1 billion stream mark this week ... clearly people are still bumping it but Joe told him he needed to do better.

Drake says he's happy with 'Dogs' -- he's just getting musical inspiration at a rapid pace and thinks it would be a crime to withhold the tracks from the public.

Cardi B sale en defensa de Will Smith en medio del rumor de que tuvo relaciones sexuales con Duane Martin  —algo que él niega, por cierto— y también está yendo detrás de la bloguera que comenzó todo este astuno.

La rapera hizo un live de Insta el miércoles por la noche para hablar de la historia. Ella realmente no cree en la veracidad de los dichos. Dice que Will no es problemático y que no merece este trato.

Cardi trae a colación su signo (Libra) y dice que cree que los Libras están constantemente siendo probados por otros hasta que finalmente se rompen, aparentemente haciendo referencia a la infame bofetada en los Oscars.

Básicamente, ella ve injusto que la gente critique a alguien que está siendo empujado al límite. También cree que es terrible que la gente pueda subirse a una gran plataforma y decir cualquier cosa sobre cualquiera y que tenga una gran repercusión, aunque las cosas que diga sea mentira.

Aquí es donde se dirige a Tasha K que, por cierto, es la misma mujer que demandó con éxito por difamación. Recordemos que Tasha técnicamente le debe a Cardi alrededor de $3.4 millones.

Fue hace solo un par de semanas que Cardi se mostró comprensiva respecto a tratar de hacer cumplir ese pago, pero ahora las cosas han cambiado, diciendo que algunas personas nunca cambian.

Ella arremete contra Tasha por permitir que el supuesto ex amigo/asistente de Will llegue a su podcast y haga una acusación tan extravagante y dice que tiene que parar.

Tasha sigue metiéndose en problemas, recordemos que R. Kelly la acaba de demandar y ahora Jada dijo que una demanda se avecina, así que podría verse de nuevo como acusada.

Drake dice que la fuerza se ha apoderado de él y que las canciones fluyen como nunca, por lo que las está lanzando la tercera edición de su serie "Scary Hours" EP.

El jueves, Drake hizo el anuncio improvisado a través de un trailer filmado dentro de una de sus lujosas fincas, donde explicó el método para su última ronda de canciones.

Drake dice que está tan confiado en su álbum recién lanzado —"For All The Dogs"— que podría irse de vacaciones un par de años, pero dice que ese no es su estilo.

¡Citó su famoso "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" mixtape como inspo detrás de la caída 'SH3' y afirma haber escrito el proyecto en los últimos 5 días!

Kevin Durant y el ingeniero de Drake Noel Cadastre también figuran como productores ejecutivos para el proyecto, pero las apariciones de invitados son mamá por ahora.

Drake no hizo mención de los "problemas estomacales" que trajo a colación el mes pasado cuando le dijo a sus fans que no iba a lanzar música por un tiempo.

El nuevo EP y el hecho de que se va de gira con J. Cole, parecen buenas señales de que ya no está preocupado por su salud.

Drake says the force has taken hold of him, and the songs are writing themselves, so he's releasing them -- the 3rd edition of his 'Scary Hours' EP series is about to drop!

On Thursday, Drake made the impromptu announcement via a video trailer shot inside one of his lavish estates, where he explained the method for his latest round of madness ... comparing his latest tier to being on drugs!!!

Drake says he's so confident in his recently released album "For All The Dogs" that he could go MIA for a couple of years ... but says that's not his style.

He cited his famed "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" mixtape as inspo behind the 'SH3' drop and claims to have written the project within the last 5 days!!!

Kevin Durant and Drake's longtime engineer Noel Cadastre are also listed as executive producers for the project but the guest appearances are mum for now.

Drake made no mention of the "stomach issues" he brought up last month when he told fans he wouldn't be releasing music for a while.

The new EP, and the fact he's going on tour with J. Cole, seem like good signs he's no longer worried about his health.

Justin Timberlake dio la cara por primera vez desde las explosivas declaraciones de Britney Spears en sus memorias, y lo hizo junto a algunas de las personas que más lo quieren, incluyendo su esposa.

El cantante asistió al estreno de "Trolls" en Los Ángeles el miércoles con nada menos que Jessica Biel a su lado, sonriendo de par en par y mostrándose como un frente unido con su maridito. La pareja estuvo tomada de la mano delante de las cámaras, y su presencia poderosa ciertamente se sintió.

Lo mismo para Justin y los miembros de su ex banda, que también estuvieron en la alfombra. Todos los chicos *NSYNC asistieron y posaron para una foto grupal.

TMZ publicó la historia, *NSYNC organizó un plan de último minuto para estar presente en este evento de cara a su película, que se estrena este fin de semana. El estudio quiso hacer un poco de prensa en las once horas que le quedan para promocionar la película. Esto, después de que la huelga SAG-AFTRA llegara a su fin.

El tiempo dirá si logran los números de taquilla, pero lo más importante aquí Justin, luego que su nombre estuviera muy presente en los medios de prensa el último mes.

Como informamos, un montón de "verdades" salieron a la luz con el libro de Britney, incluyendo el hecho de que tuvo un aborto mientras estaban juntos, el que ella dijo que fue presionado en el momento. También alegó que él la había engañado durante su relación... entre muchas otras afirmaciones.

El tipo se llevó todas las críticas de la esfera de Twitter y no volvió a salir ni a referirse del tema, optando en su lugar, por pasar desapercibido. Ahora, sin embargo, está saliendo a la superficie con su mujer de la mano.

Justin Timberlake showed face for the first time since Britney Spears' explosive memoir claims -- and he did so alongside some of the people who love him most ... his wife included.

The singer attended the 'Trolls' premiere in L.A. Wednesday with none other than Jessica Biel right by his side ... smiling wide and putting on a united front with her hubby. They were holding hands in front of cameras, and their power-couple presence was certainly felt.

Ditto for JT and his ex-boy band members ... who were also there on the carpet. Indeed, all the *NSYNC guys attended as well -- and they, too, got together for some group pics.

We broke the story ... *NSYNC put together a last-minute plan to show up to this event, seeing how their flick is coming out this weekend -- and the studio wanted to do some 11th-hour press to plug the movie ... this after the SAG-AFTRA strike recently came to an end.

Time will tell if them touching down in the flesh affects box office numbers, but the bigger takeaway here is Justin ... seeing how his name got dropped a lot last month by his ex.

As we reported ... a lot of "truths" came out about him in Britney's book -- including the fact that she had an abortion while they were together, which she said he pushed for at the time. She also alleged he'd cheated during their relationship ... among lots of other claims.

The dude took heat in the Twitter-sphere -- and he never came out and addressed any of it himself ... opting to lay low instead. Now, he's surfacing with the missus looking cheery.

La casa de la infancia de Britney Spears en Louisiana podría estar en el mercado, pero eso no significa que la cantante esté buscando revivir su pasado. Sabemos esto porque nos informan que no está interesada en comprarla.

TMZ publicó la historia primero, la propiedad de $1.2 millones en Kentwood saltó al mercado a principios de este mes, casi dos años y medio después de que fuera vendida por sus padres separados, Jamie Spears, por solo $289k.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos informan que la estrella del pop no tiene planes o interés en la compra de su antiguo hogar. Nos dicen que es consciente de que está a la venta, pero que no tuvo ningún tipo de reacción, ni positiva ni negativa cuando se enteró.

¡No son solo las cuatro paredes que significan mucho en la historia de Britney, como informamos, el lugar se vende con algunos de sus muebles originales, incluyendo una puerta que tiene "Christina apesta, Brit manda" escrito en ella. Obviamente refiriéndose a Christina Agulera.

También tiene algunas de las obras de arte de Britney, un mini-santuario a NSYNC e incluso un mensaje de la cantante grabado en hormigón.

Britney Spears' childhood home in Louisiana remains on the market, and well within her price range, but that doesn't mean the singer's lookin' to relive her past.

TMZ broke the story, the $1.2 million Kentwood property went on the market earlier this month ... nearly 2 and a half years after it was sold by her father, Jamie Spears, for only $289k.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the Brit has no plans or interest in purchasing her family's old pad. We're told she's aware it's for sale, but didn't really have much of a reaction -- positive or negative -- when she found out about it.

As we reported, the place is being sold with some of its original furnishings, including a door that has "Christina sucks, Brit rules" written on it ... an apparent dig at Christina Aguilera!

It also has some of Britney's art, a mini-shrine to NSYNC, and even a message from the singer etched in concrete.

Kendall Jenner ayudó a traer la nieve al soleado sur de California, bombeando un montón de nieve falsa en el set de su sesión de fotos.

Kendall fue vista en el set el martes para un nuevo proyecto desconocido, luciendo una falda, top, botas y una gran sonrisa en su rostro mientras tomaba el control de la manguera.

No está claro si el trabajo de nieve era parte del papel de Kendall en el rodaje, o si simplemente quería probar la tarea por sí misma, pero está claro que le encantó cada minuto.

Si te lo estabas preguntando, el novio de Kendall —Bad Bunny— no fue visto con ella en la sesión de fotos, pero la última vez que los vimos juntos fue tomando el desayuno cerca del Hotel Beverly Hills después de organizar una gran fiesta de Halloween.
