WILL SMITH went to India . . . supposedly to meet with a spiritual guru. Meanwhile, CHRIS ROCK’s mom addressed the slap. “When Will slapped Chris, he slapped all of us, but he really slapped me. When you hurt my child, you hurt me.” She said she’s really proud of Chris for the way he dealt with the slap, and You (Will Smith) really could have been taken out in handcuffs.

Being called a ‘Redneck’ to some would be considered an insult…Not Justin Moore!! He’d like you to know that the word redneck means “more” than what people usually use it for. “It’s blue-collar, hard-workin’, simple . . . in a good way, God-fearing. And so, it’s absolutely a compliment. To me there’s not much of a higher one.” Justin has a Greatest Hits out now…and his tour starts May 5th in Knoxville TN

More drama in the court room with Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard. Last week Amber’s attorney claimed that Amber carried a concealer palette from Milani Cosmetics during the ENTIRE relationship to cover bruises Johnny caused.

Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.
