The 'Diamonds' hitmaker shared a post on Instagram which points out why she's still single, reports aceshowbiz.com.

The couple was all smiles during the family outing. Pinkett gave her husband a big hug. Meanwhile, Will could be seen smiling at her.

The two had lunch with some friends that day.

Just last month, the 46-year-old actor took to Facebook to slam rumours saying that the couple's marriage was on the verge of a split.

"So, in the interest of redundant, repetitious, over & over-again-ness... Jada and I are... NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!" he wrote.

In an interview with Mario Lopez on the TV show "Extra" on Monday, Clinton said Kim was "warm and very personable", reports aceshowbiz.com.

"I met her for the first time. She came to one of my fundraisers in Los Angeles. I really enjoyed meeting her. I really found her to be warm and very personable," Clinton said of Kim.

During their first meeting, Kim managed to take a selfie with Clinton and rapper Kanye West and posted it on Instagram with the hashtag "Hillary for President".

"(Kim) had a nice way of introducing her husband, as if I didn't know who he was, right? And I enjoy seeing her with her daughter," Hillary continued.

"I think all of us in our own ways can be inspirational or aspirational for people and I certainly think many people see her as someone who gets up every day and tries to figure out how to make that day successful."

Of West's plan to run for president in 2020, Clinton jokingly gave him a suggestion: "If I'm going for my second term, (I will suggest him) to wait (for) four years. But, if I'm not, be sure he has comfortable shoes because there's a lot of walking involved (during the campaign)."

Earlier last month, Kim who was eager to take a selfie with Clinton, ended up writing a muddled caption with misspelled words.

She tried to correct it in the second tweet, but again ended up misspelling president as 'Presisent'.

Jennifer, 25, is circling "Red Sparrow", an adaptation of Jason Matthews' espionage novel that is being set up at 20th Century Fox, reported Deadline.

No deal is put in place just yet, but she is expected to reunite with Francis, who directed her in "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1" and "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2".

It was previously reported during the San Diego Comic-Con that Francis was eying involvement in the action thriller.

The filmmaker is apparently now close to signing a deal for the project, which once had David Fincher and Rooney Mara as potential helmer and female lead respectively.

"Red Sparrow" is set in contemporary Russia and centres on a state intelligence officer named Dominika Egorova, who is assigned against her will to become a "Sparrow," a trained seductress in the service.

During her first assignment, Dominika strikes up a relationship with her mark, a CIA officer named Nathaniel Nash, and in a charged atmosphere of trade craft, deception, and inevitably, a sexual attraction threatens their careers and the security of America's most valuable mole in Moscow.

Justin Haythe is tapped to re-write a script by Eric Warren, while Steven Zaillian and Garrett Basch are on board as producers.

Bingbing will also be a producer on the Chinese-Australian co-production, which is being represented by Darclight, the genre films offshoot of Sydney and Los Angeles-based Arclight Films, reports variety.com.

Rendall, a noted action director ("Matrix: Reloaded," "Matrix: Revolutions"), made his directorial debut three years ago with "Bait 3D", which was similarly a Chinese-Australian joint venture.

The film's story involves a team of scientists who, while making the discovery of the century, lose a colleague in an ancient labyrinth. The group must battle their way through a swarm of deadly, man-eating funnel web spiders and discover the secret behind the insects' power and unusual intelligence.

"With a mesmerizing story, the brilliance of director Kimble Rendall, the breath-taking talent of Li Bingbing and an A-list special effects team, 'Nest' is perfectly positioned to be a major commercial success with thrill-seeking audiences all over the world," said Ye, producer, and managing director of Easternlight.

"Nest" is understood to be the largest Chinese-Australian co-production to date, and has scored finance from federal funding body Screen Australia and from state film support agency Screen Queensland.

Pre-production ahead of a shoot in 3D is under way in Australia's Gold Coast and Darclight is pitching the film to distributors at the Toronto International Film Festival.

"No, there's nothing to it. I know where (the rumours) came from, because it's my fault," Kinberg said while promoting "The Martian" at the Toronto International Film Festival here.

The rumours had emerged when Kinberg was photographed with the "Bad Blood" singer alongside other cast members such as James McAvoy and Sophie Turner, reports aceshowbiz.com.

"...it was what I was listening to every morning to get sort of energized and I would listen to it on the set every day for 'Apocalypse'," he explained.

When Swift's tour came to Montreal, where "X Men: Apocalypse" was being filmed, Kinberg, McAvoy, Turner, Nicholas Hoult and Rose Byrne were excited and they didn't want to miss the concert.

However, Kinberg admitted that he actually loved the idea of Swift appearing in the film.

"After I saw those things I was like oh, that's kind of interesting, but no, we were actually just there for her concert," he said.

Michael Fassbender, Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Olivia Munn, Oscar Isaac and Alexandra Shipp are other actors in the cast.

Taking place a decade after "Men: Days of Future Past", the movie will be released in US on May 27, 2016.

Lil Wayne And Christian Milian We're Not Breaking Up

Lil Wayne and Christina Milian have broken up, but not professionally.

The couple announced their split this week, using the standard “our-schedules-make-it-difficult” reason, but we’re told one thing is clear … she’s not leaving Young Money — because it benefits both of them.

Christina has an album due out later this year, and neither wants to derail it.

This wouldn’t be the first time Christina worked with an ex. After divorcing The Dream, she continued with him on her music career.

Man Pretending To Be Gully Bop's Manager Gets 18 Months In Prison!

Gully Bop

A man who scammed a Canadian stage show promoter out of $300,000 by pretending to be the road manager of dancehall artist Robert ‘Gully Bop’ Malcolm was sentenced to 18 months after making restitution.

Kimauly Bull, 38, a resident of Tiverton Road in Kingston, pleaded guilty to two counts of obtaining money by means of false pretence when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court in St Andrew, yesterday.

Reports are that Bull, purporting to be Gully Bop’s road manager, arranged with the complainant to have Gully Bop perform at shows in Canada in June.

The complainant sent CAD$1,240 and CAD $2,480, via Western Union, on March 17 and 18, respectively, as part payments for the artist to perform.

Efforts were subsequently made by the complainant to contact the accused, but to no avail.

The matter was then reported to the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency and Bull was arrested and charged.

Prior to sentencing, Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey told attorney Vincent Wellesley “the dimension of what his client has done is so vast. I believe five years in prison is enough.”

“I think he was just being a thief,” Pusey said.

“Although he made restitution, I should send a message to those who defy. Anybody have any dreams of doing it must remember Pusey,” she said.

Bull was subsequently sentenced to 18 months on both counts of obtaining money by means of false pretence to run concurrently.

What is 'Katti Batti' team hiding?

There's more to "Katti Batti" than romance and comedy, but it's all in hiding!

'Katti Batti' co-stars Kangana Ranaut and Imran Khan

The Kangana Ranaut and Imran Khan-starrer, releasing on Friday, has been widely promoted. But the makers as well as the actors have mentioned the fact that the film has more depth it than what meets the eye from the promos and the trailers.

But they are perhaps hiding it.

Kangana has, in fact, even stated how her character in the film is one of the toughest role that she has played -- leaving many to wonder what it is.

A spokesperson for the film confirmed that there is indeed something more to the film, and said: "Like everybody has been saying that 'Katti Batti' is more than just a rom-com, it’s for the audience to come and discover it themselves."

Ranveer Singh: I will wait all my life for Deepika Padukone

Pune: Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh says he is willing to wait for his rumoured girlfriend and 'Bajirao Mastani' co-star Deepika Padukone for a lifetime.

"She is so beautiful that I would wait all my life for her," Ranveer said at a promotional event of "Bajirao Mastani" yesterday in Pune where Deepika was also present.

When asked whether she too would be willing to wait for a lifetime for him, Deepika says, "What? You have to ask him in what context he said that. Wait at a restaurant... or..."

The 30-year-old actor said it was just a joke before adding, "It was one of those random, smart, wisecracks which I cracked by saying 'she is so beautiful that I will wait all my life for her'. You guys waited since morning for us. So if you ask me I would say she is so gorgeous that I would wait for her all my life."

To this, Deepika interrupted saying, "I don't understand English at this point."

Deepika, who has earlier worked with Ranveer in "Ram Leela" and will next be seen with him in "Bajirao Mastani", says that she has not seen any change in him as a person.

"As a person I think he is the same... same energy and same enthusiasm, same protectiveness and same warmth. As a person he has not changed," the 29-year-old actress said.

However, she feels that as an actor Ranveer has grown a lot. "As an actor he has grown tremendously after 'Band Baaja Baarat'. 'Ram Leela' was a defining point in his career. He can do a film like 'Band Baaja Baarat', 'Lootera', 'Ram Leela', 'Dil Dhadakane Do', he plays different kind of characters convincingly on screen," she said.
