Oh, interesting. Wonder whether he wanted to hit her.I've read that one of the co-hosts, Regina Hall, made a joke about their "open" marriage earlier in the show.

I've never watched GI Jane but always thought it was not a very successful movie. I don't think that unsuccessful movies get sequels very often.I'm sorry, but I don't buy that Jada Pinkett Smith is all that sensitive about her bald head. She still looks gorgeous and she looked fabulous at the Oscars. And Demi Moore with her bald head in GI Jane was a bada$$ that inspired young girls and women around the world.
To me that joke of Chris Rock's fell a bit flat but IMO it certainly wasn't insulting to Jada. If she's that sensitive while being an actress where you're judged as much on your looks as your talent, she's in the wrong line of work. She and her husband had to know the camera was there watching for their reaction. Better actors would've laughed it off and the next day pitched GI Jane 2 to every producer they know.
It received mixed reviews, with Moore's performance receiving criticism and winning her the Razzie Award for Worst Actress. It also performed poorly at the box office, grossing $48 million on a $50 million budget.

Apparently they both laughed hysterically.Oh, interesting. Wonder whether he wanted to hit her.
I never saw his shows in Vegas. I only watched him on Johnny Carson show. Couldn’t stand the guy.But Don apologized at the conclude of his shows n Vegas. . He usually picked on the first rows next to the stage…so he always made his way down to shake/hold their hands and talk to them after…
I saw a documentary on him.
All bark no bite. Sorry have no link.
Just my recall . Go Don.
Oh, good! I’m glad he was able to avoid all those awkward feelings.Questlove was a guest on The Tonight Show last night. He's normally the musical director and band leader of the house band, The Roots. His comments about what happened before he was announced as the winner come at about the 4 minute mark.
I think Tupac was the love of Jada's life.Wasn’t that the guy she said was the love of her life?
If true, how sad for WS not to be the "true love" of who he is married to. There are always (at least) two sides to every story, but the more I learn about JP-S, the less i like.I think Tupac was the love of Jada's life.
Me too. And not being able to take a joke and laugh at yourself is not attractive. As long as the joke isn’t nasty and mean (this wasn’t) it’s always better to laugh it off and take the high road. The more I learn about this whole situation, the more I think WS is scared of her and when he saw how she was taking the joke, he was more afraid of the consequences if he didn’t do something. He’s responsible for his own actions though. Comes down to their believing they are off limits unlike everyone else IMO.If true, how sad for WS not to be the "true love" of who he is married to.

Amateur opinion and speculation
It does give context if they have history, but it just didn’t feel like a diss, and that’s why it was so bizarre. It makes total sense to me that the joke wasn’t scripted, because it seems like he saw her sitting there and the joke came to him on the spot. I personally don’t feel it was out of bounds, although not really funny either. But the reaction was so uncalled for, and assaulting and verbally attacking the host when you are fully aware millions are watching is not ok. Just so uncool.And, many of the people who were ruthless comedians were not really that funny when their comedy just "ragged" on people. Mr. Smith was totally wrong for his behavior, I have no doubt. But, it is important to note that Mr. Rock has worked with both of them. He said some funky stuff about their boycott of the Oscars. And, truthfully, his stuff is not so funny-- it was sexist (Javier Bardem comment about his wife being angry if he gets an award) and demeaning (IMHO). When people like Ricky Gervais took on Hollywood elitism it was equally opportunity and approved by the producers. Rock's statement about Jada was not (Oscars network say Chris Rock's Jada Pinkett Smith joke was off-script) so then the question is why did he ad lib. I don't think his joke a few years ago was well received nor was his response to the tweet.
We can easily see that Smith's behavior is out of line. That said, it is important to note that Rock may not have been appropriate with his commentary which was the latest in a history of dissing the couple.
Jada Pinkett Smith Embraced Her Look Days Before Oscars: '#IAmNotMyHair'
While I don't think it's healthy for our culture to look up to celebrities as role models just because they're celebrities, I do think Jada missed a great opportunity Sunday night to "walk her talk". Her comments days before the Oscars certainly would have been inspiring to people afflicted with alopecia. But with Sunday night's antics it just seems now like all of her brave words were just for show and the aftermath and consequences will live on for much much longer. Very sad, IMO.
Oh I don’t know. Not that our society and our country don’t have issues (I think social media has helped to exacerbate all of it), but I try to be optimistic about it. I think people are inherently good, not evil, and we’re experiencing growing pains. I hope so anyway!The whole thing was pathetic, a symbol of things to come? I'm glad I'm old and won't have to live to see the decline of our country and civilization as a whole.
