London Gives Will Smith a Warm Welcome
Will Smith and the promotional train for Seven Pounds kept on chugging at the London premiere last night before he stopped by a studio today. With such a large group of excited fans and his name in huge lights, it's no wonder Will looked happy as can be on stage. As he continues to flash his grin around the world, his son's rumored Karate Kid remake is getting more buzz now that Jackie Chan has supposedly signed on in Mr. Miyagi's role.
Will Brings Seven Pounds To The UK
One man charisma machine Will Smith was in London's Leicester Square last night for the premiere of his new movie Seven Pounds. In the film, Will plays an IRS agent with "a fateful secret who embarks on an extraordinary journey of redemption by forever changing the lives of seven strangers". My girl Buzz wasn't a big fan of the movie when she went to see it, but I know that won't put off all those Will fans!
Which Rosario Dawson Seven Pounds Premiere Look Is Most Fab?
The worldwide promotion of Seven Pounds has kept Rosario Dawson happily busy in a bevy of beautiful dresses. In LA, the actress wore a slick Bottega Veneta nude number (which was my Fab favorite); in Germany, she shined in a silk chiffon asymmetrical gown by Azzaro; in Rome, Rosario wore a sassy Bottega Veneta LBD and a navy Ports 1961 frock; and in Paris, Dawson opted for a light lavender strapless Sonia Rykiel number with purple Christian Louboutin pumps. Tell me, which Rosario Dawson look do you prefer?
Will and Rosario Carry Their Seven Pounds to Germany
Will Smith led Rosario Dawson by the hand down the blue carpet at a photo call before the Berlin premiere of Seven Pounds yesterday. The costars have been making their way around Europe promoting the movie, but aren't showing any signs of homesickness or fatigue. Will's no stranger to touring the world, and not even the film's lackluster showing at the box office can break his stride or his spirit.
Will Smith Keeps Many Pounds of Cash Flowing In
Will Smith hammed it up with his costar Rosario Dawson on the red carpet at the Seven Pounds Paris premiere yesterday. His newest movie may not be his biggest hit, but Will still generated the most box office revenue of any actor in 2008. Will has lots of reasons for his ear-to-ear grin as he begins a new year of churning out movies and passing down the talent of creating box office gold to his kids.
Box Office: Audiences Say Yes. . . Man
It seems the dismal weather plaguing parts of the nation proved detrimental to box office earnings this weekend. Of the less-than-robust numbers, however, the Jim Carrey-Zooey Deschanel comedy Yes Man ended up taking the most in ticket sales with a little over $18 million. Will Smith's Seven Pounds did almost as well, though still worse than expected with $16 million.
Seven Pounds: Slow and Frustrating
If you were confused by the trailer for Seven Pounds that's because the movie is mostly one long guessing game, meant to have a confusing, slow build-up to a twisty surprise ending. There seems to be such an emphasis on keeping the audience wondering what's going on, and I was frustrated not because I didn't understand the "why"s of the plot but because it's hard to care enough about these characters — even the lead played by Will Smith — to truly want to figure out what the heck's going on.
Mostly I just wished they would stop talking in gratingly general terms ("Remember that thing you took from me?"
Watch, Pass, TiVo, or Rent: Seven Pounds

Will Has Costars and Fresh Friends to Premiere Seven Pounds
Will Smith usually has his real life family by his side on the red carpet, but last night at the Seven Pounds premiere in LA he was joined by his former on screen relatives. Alfonso Ribeiro and Tatyana Ali who co-starred with Will on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, smiled big out to support the big star. Will wasn't the only of the movie's stars out to celebrate — Rosario Dawson looked sexy in her hot little dress, but unfortunately Tom Cruise didn't bring his son Connor out for his first big acting premiere.
