 Celebrity
Extra
by Cindy Elavsky
Q: I really enjoyed Jaden Smith’s performance
in “The Pursuit of Happyness.” Does he have any
more projects coming up? -- Shirley K., Lady Lake,
Fla.
A: The 11-year-old son of Will Smith and Jada
Pinkett Smith wowed audiences with his dramatic
performance in the 2006 tearjerker. Next up for Jaden
is the remake of the 1984 martial-arts classic, “The
Karate Kid,” which opens this June. Jaden plays the
role of Dre Parker, a young boy who moves to China
with his mother (played by Taraji P. Henson) and is
bullied by kids at school. Dre seeks help from Mr.
Han (played by Jackie Chan), a maintenance man
who is secretly a kung fu master.
***
Q: What is the name of the young actor who
played the main character in the movie “Witness,”
and has he been in any other movies? What is he
doing now? -- Patricia H., Newport, Tenn.
A: Lukas Haas, 33, played the young Samuel
Lapp, an Amish boy who witnesses the brutal murder
of an undercover police officer in a railway station
restroom. Lukas has since played characters on the
big and small screen, including the feature films
“Mars Attacks!” “Everyone Says I Love You” and
“Material Girls,” and TV shows “24,” “Entourage”
and “Criminal Minds.” He recently wrapped the
movie “Inception,” a big-budget sci-fi thriller with
Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard and Ellen
Page. It’s scheduled for release in July.
***
Q: I love the
SOAPnet show “Being
Erica,” and am anxious
for its return. When does
Season Two start? -- Avis
S., Venice Fla.
A: Season Two
of the Canadian time-
traveling dramedy started
Jan. 20. Just like the first
season, in every episode,
Erica Strange (played by
Erin Karpluk) goes back Erin Karpluk
in time to relive a regret
from her past in order to come back and make a
positive change in her present. I spoke recently with
Erin, who gave me some clues as to what to expect
this season: “The show is much sexier and edgier
this season, and more forward-thinking. Erica uses
what she has been learning and applies it in her own
life, and also uses it to try to help others.”
***
Q: What happened to the show “Find My
Family”? Will it be coming back, and if so, when? I
love that show. -- Carrie F., Englewood, Fla.
A: The reality show “Find My Family,” which
features reunions of long-lost family members --
usually one member was given up for adoption and
now wants to find his/her birth family, or vice versa
-- debuted on ABC in late November. The show is
slated to return this year; however, according to a
representative for the show, no decisions have been
made as to exactly when.
Check my Web site often (www.celebrityextraonline.
com), as I’ll keep readers posted on the status of the
show as soon as I hear something. You also can find
lots of other up-to-the-minute celebrity news and
interviews on the site.
