Who does she think she is? Halle Berry?
Some stars are just "upity" and "don't know their place" in the scheme of things. Hollywood and has done so much for "people like her and her husband". Without Hollywood she would be just another "single mom". .Why is she so "emotional" and "difficult to work with"
from www.imdb.com
'Matrix' Star Erupts
Matrix Reloaded beauty Jada Pinkett Smith had a major falling out with the movie's producer Joel Silver - just two days before the sequel's premiere. Insiders report Silver was "upset" when Will Smith's wife refused to make a promotional appearance on MTV that would include a video shopping tour. A source tells gossip website Pagesix.Com, "Jada thought the idea was cheesy and awful, so she said no way." Return To Paradise actress Pinkett Smith was further enraged when Silver informed her she would not be able to stay in her usual suite at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York, after the premiere of the much-anticipated movie on Tuesday. A source reports, "Joel tried to tell Jada that Warner Brothers wouldn't shell out for a suite so she had to take a smaller room. He said, 'Well, we aren't even giving Keanu Reeves a suite, so we can't give you one.' But Keanu has an apartment in New York so he would never have stayed at the Four Seasons anyway. Joel was just using him as an excuse to stick it to Jada." Jada was so angry that she and her famous spouse refused to appear at the after-premiere party. The insider adds, "She was so angry at Joel she would not even fly in the same plane as him, much less be in the same room."
Good for her for refusing the TACKY and STUPID MTV appearence.

It does seem like they are already making too many appearances- if I didn't like the first movie as much as I did then I'd be sick of it all by now- and this over-promotion has not increased my interest.
I'm sure they both have attitudes and I don't care if they like each other or fly together.

Hmmmm makes you kind of wonder why they're having issues with other actors. Tank and now Jada. I agree both can be difficult expecially Jada who's somewhat arrogant as Mrs Wil Smith. But I agree with Hotaru. Enough of the cheesy promotions...let the movie stand on it's own.

I'm sorry...but when you sign on to do a flick [especially what is destined to be one of the most hyped pics of the year], there should be no question about how much/what promotion you're expected to do.
Would I do an MTV promotion? Hell no. I barely watch the channel anymore...but in today's media obsessed/cross promoted culture, i'm sure she must've known/had something in her contract. Hell, when Will does a flick, he sells the hell out of it.
BTW...EVERYTHING is overpromoted nowadays..can't get away from that..
Oh...and also...Jada was on Dave earlier. Apparently there's going to be a show based on her & Will's life..

My thoughts exactly. I'm sure she would have done a talk show or something, she just didn't want to do that particular MTV show. Big deal, why take Joel's side?

I've never cared for Pinket. Considering they WROTE the part with her in mind, and the fact her career these days consists of being Mrs. Will Smith, you would think she would have just done the promo and shut the **** up.

Also, on a side note: little known fact. Halle Berry can't act.

Neither can Julia Roberts and she's a bitch. But ya'll seem to give her props all the time.
For that matter, 98% of the fanboy "Beat off poster girls" in movies(Jeniffer Garner comes to mind) can't act....

Are you kidding me!? Someone said that Julia Roberts could act? Who?? Someone thinks that she's good looking? Again, WHO??
Look, it's not all about who's hot and who's not. There are plenty of actresses who look very average but are amazing on screen. There are also plenty of super-babes who stink it up every time the lens points their way.

Uh...yeah. I know this and yeah I meant this thread for Jada, and countless others on dvdtalk for Halle.
