Will Smith On His Faith And Other Religions

Excerpts of Will Smith's interview published in Newsweek (Dec. 8, 2008 issue) where he talks about his view on other religions and his own belief :

" I love the nature of humanity's search for meaning. For me I'm certain about my relationship with the model of perfection of human life that's laid out with the life of Jesus Christ. I'm certain of that. So I'm at home and not fearful when I sit in a mosque or a synagoque or a Buddhist temple, the same way that I'm home in the church of Scientology. I like anywhere people are searching for the truth, and I respect their path and I'm intriqued by their path. I think when you are certain in and of what you believe in, you can open your mind to seeing the ways of others. I'm not bothered when someone says "Allah" because they're talking about the same person... When people are afraid of religion they have to go back and get in touch with the Good Book. Fear of other religions means you're questioning your own understanding, and that's just not where I am."

Angelina Jolie On The Joys And Difficulty Of Raising Twins

Following are excerpts of Angelina Jolies interview during her press-con on the film, "The Changeling." The actress talked about her twins, Knox and Vivienne and her other kids in the Pitt-Jolie household.

"It's great. Yeah, during hair and make-up sessions, I had one baby on each arm. It's so much fun. Like this morning we all had jet lag so we tried to get to bed at a decent hour. Then about 4:30 in the morning, everybody started to wake up and Brad took them for me. He said, "You've got to work so I'll take it on" and he went out. I just heard chaos in the living room for about four hours. I tried to sleep but I kept wondering ...."

"Brad is an amazing, dedicated father. It's absolute chaos but the kids are really forming beautiful relationships. They (the older kids) are very loving (towards) the babies. I think that has a lot to do with the fact that we're not working right now. We've had the kids home schooled. We've been together all the time. We haven't gone away or spent too much time with the babies. Everybody's getting a lot of time, so everybody's doing pretty good."

Ricky Martin On Being A Father

Ricky Martin, Latin superstar, is showing off his twin sons, Valentino and Matteo, in People Magazine. It was the singer who announced their birth on August 20, who were born last summer to a surrogate mother.

Martin says surrogacy "was an intriquing and faster option" than adoption. "I'm so happy! Everything they do, from smiling to crying, feels like a blessing. Being a father feels amazing. This has been the most spiritual moment in my life."

He says : "I'm the one who changes the diapers, the one that feeds them, the one that bathes them, the one that puts them to sleep."
