<strong>ca</strong>ll it the summer of Smith — Will and<br />
Jada that is. The Tinseltown twosome<br />
has films battling for supremacy at the<br />
box office this summer — I, Robot for him and<br />
Collateral for her.<br />
The sci-fi thriller I, Robot marks Will Smith’s<br />
13th feature film. “It’s a big Fox blockbuster,<br />
robots fighting, blowing up, it’s beautiful,”<br />
says Smith, who describes himself as a true<br />
science-fiction fan. “I play a detective who’s<br />
investigating the first robot on human murder.”<br />
In Michael Mann’s Collateral, Pinkett Smith is<br />
also on the right side of the law as a federal<br />
prosecutor opposite Tom Cruise, a hit man<br />
aiming to rub out four of her key witnesses (and<br />
has her marked for death as well).<br />
With successful film <strong>ca</strong>reers, and by all<br />
reports one of the strongest marriages in<br />
Hollywood today, the Smiths are a showbiz super<br />
couple who are just as happy snuggling on the<br />
red <strong>ca</strong>rpet as they are spending time at home<br />
with their kids.<br />
The charismatic Smith began his climb to<br />
stardom as half of the Grammy-winning duo<br />
D.J. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, and later<br />
rose to fame making his acting debut starring<br />
as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (NBC, 1990-96),
