Jaden Smith's drug habit sparks fear among friends, Will Smith's son busted in Paris: ‘Completely let off the leash'
Hollywood star Will Smith's son, Jaden Smith, has sparked serious concerns among fans and close circles after a reported drug bust in Paris. The incident has led many to fear that the young star might be heading down a troubling path.

Now, his closest ones are scared that he is way off the rails. The rapper got into the spotlight for his drug use recently after he was photographed exiting two party spots in Paris in a beanie and with a bong. "It's not a good look, especially as cannabis is illegal in France, where the legal possession amount and use is a criminal offense. Clearly, Jaden is heading in a dangerous direction. He was out at 3 a.m. in a foreign city partying his head off and then spending a lot less time at home. And with his parents living separately and their marital situation up in the air, he's probably avoiding them altogether,' a source told the outlet. At the moment, Will Smith is busy working on his music comeback, while mom Jada Pinkett Smith, 53, is focusing on new projects following the cancellation of her Red Table Talk by Facebook Watch in 2022. 'Jaden's a sweet kid and he means well, but his parents are not helping. He's misunderstood. He's been spoiled his whole life, so he's used to doing whatever he wants and making people laugh – often at the cost of looking ridiculous. Jaden's been completely let off the leash. He's making a lot of people very upset. Once so cool, he's making it look foolish,' added the source. In 2023, Jaden said his mom, Jada Pinkett Smith, introduced psychedelic drugs to him and the rest of the family. During the Psychedelic Science conference, the Karate Kid star said, 'I think it was my mom, actually, that was really the first one to make that step for the family.' More about Will Smith's family Will Smith became a father for the first time in 1992 when he welcomed his son Trey Smith with his then-wife Sheree Zampino. The couple eventually separated, and Will went on to marry Jada Pinkett Smith in 1997. Will and Jada had two children together, Jaden and Willow, in 1998 and 2000, respectively. Will has previously spoken about his parenting style, which is rooted in respect and treating his children as individuals. The family has allowed their children the freedom to express themselves and make their own choices, as seen in Jaden's decision to ask for emancipation at the age of 15.

5 best new movies to stream this weekend on Netflix, Max, Hulu, and more
Another weekend is here, which means the question of what to watch is fresh on our minds. But with so much coming and going from the best streaming services, narrowing down what's worth adding to your watchlist can quickly turn into a headache. That's why we regularly comb through all the new releases to highlight the best of the bunch, so you can skip the scrolling and get to streaming. Leading the pack this week are two premieres on paid video-on-demand services: Wes Anderson's new espionage black comedy, "The Phoenician Scheme," and the latest nostalgia-filled entry in the martial arts drama series, "Karate Kid: Legends." Over on Netflix, you can find Tyler Perry's latest spin as everyone's favorite sassy matriarch in "Madea's Destination Wedding." Elsewhere, Max just got "Opus," a new A24 thriller led by "The Bear" star Ayo Edebiri, and "A Quiet Place Part II" just arrived on Hulu for all you horror fans out there. So without further ado, let's dive into the best new movies on streaming to watch this weekend. After his intense psychological thriller "Straw" hit Netflix's No. 1 spot last month, Tyler Perry is back with his famed Madea persona for another romp as the moomoo-wearing matriarch with a mouth. Written, directed, and produced by Tyler Perry, "Madea's Destination Wedding" carries on the series' trademark mix of over-the-top slapstick humor and heartfelt family drama, this time set against the vibrant backdrop of the Bahamas. When Madea's nephew Brian (also Perry) and his ex-wife (Taja V. Simpson) discover their daughter is marrying a rapper (Xavier Smalls) she met on a yacht in just two weeks, the entire family heads to the islands for an unforgettable showdown. You can expect the classic Madea formula: a joyful family gathering that quickly devolves into a pressure cooker situation of strained relationships, long-buried secrets, and hijinks. Watch it now on Netflix Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The sixth installment in the 'Karate Kid' franchise wears its nostalgia on its sleeve, but fans eager for more training montages and martial arts showdowns have already propelled "Karate Kids: Legends" to the top of the streaming charts now that it's on PVOD. With plenty of throwbacks to the original series, "Karate Kid: Legends" packs a familiar punch, and clearly there's an audience for it (even if its theatrical debut fell short). In the newest chapter of the 'Karate Kid' saga, kung fu prodigy Li Fong (Ben Wang) moves to New York City with his mother to attend an elite school, but finds himself in the crosshairs of a formidable local karate champion. Determined to stand his ground, Li decides to enter the ultimate karate tournament. But to have a shot at winning, he'll need some serious training, and thankfully, kung fu master Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) and the iconic Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) are there to help as he prepares for an epic martial arts showdown. Streaming now with purchase on Amazon or Apple I was surprised to learn "The Phoenician Scheme" is Michael Cera and Wes Anderson's first collab. (Cera's brand of awkwardness seems built for the Wes Anderson cinematic universe.) Cera's part of a star-studded ensemble cast for the legendary director's latest comedy alongside Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, and Benedict Cumberbatch. The film centers on Zsa-zsa Korda (Benicio del Toro), a wealthy businessman and arms dealer who is fed up with all these assassination attempts ruining his day-to-day. After yet another near-fatal encounter, he sets out to reconcile with his daughter, Sister Liesl (Mia Threapleton), a nun, and shocks everyone by naming her his sole heir. That bold move puts both of them in the crosshairs of terrorists, assassins, and a slew of Korda's enemies. Who, if anyone, will survive the mad scramble? You'll have to watch this espionage black comedy to find out. Streaming now with purchase on Amazon or Apple Ayo Edebiri is easily my favorite star of "The Bear," and watching season 4 this week has me eager to check out her performance in the A24 horror thriller "Opus," director Mark Anthony Green's feature debut. Edebiri stars as a young music journalist invited to the secluded desert home of Alfred Moretti (John Malkovich), a legendary pop star who vanished without a trace 30 years ago. He promises her and her fellow journalists a front row seat to his shocking return to the world of music, but things quickly start to get weird. For starters, he's surrounded by a cult-like group of robe-wearing yes men who treat him less like a pop idol and more like the second coming. As she investigates further, she grows more uneasy with Moretti's fans and his equally unsettling behavior, and it's not long before their sinister intentions come to light. Watch it now on Max If "28 Years Later" has you itching for more horror thrills, Hulu just got one of the best horror sequels of all time. "A Quiet Place Part II" follows the Abbott family once more as they desperately try to navigate a world overrun by deadly aliens that hunt by sound. Though Emily Blunt's Evelyn discovered these monsters are vulnerable to high-pitched sounds, with their home destroyed, her husband Lee (John Krasinski) dead, and a newborn to keep quiet, knowing that weakness doesn't make their world any less dangerous. As they set out from the safety of their former shelter, they find a familiar face: "28 Days Later" star Cillian Murphy as Emmett, an equally hardened survivor and old family friend. From him, they learn about a colony of survivors led by Djimon Hounsou's character, who also shows up in the prequel "A Quiet Place: Day One" (my personal favorite of the series). Packed with edge-of-your-seat tension and deeply relatable characters, "A Quiet Place: Part II" is such an intense thrill ride that you may catch yourself holding your breath right along with the cast.
