The Smith clan hit up Nickelodeon Saturday night for the 2011 Kids’ Choice Awards. Jaden Smith accepted the Favorite Movie award for The Karate Kid and Willow hit the stage while her dad Will and brother watched from the audience. Check out her performances of “21st Century Girl” and “Whip My Hair” below.
The director of the upcoming “Annie” remake starring Willow Smith has quit. Ryan Murphy, who created the hit musical show “Glee,” dropped out of the film after “talks broke off.”
According to Deadline, he was both Sony Pictures and Will Smith‘s choice of director, but it looks like they’ll have to find another.
Both Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are locked in as producers, and Jay-Z is planning to handle the musical side of the project.
Cut the bull! We wanna know what really happened! We know Will Smith has already caused problems on both the “Men In Black III” set, as well as his wife’s show “HawthoRNe”…so give us the goods!
The single premiered last week, and now here’s the official video for Willow Smith‘s news single “21st Century Girl.” The video features a very special guest appearance by the legendary Cicely Tyson. Watch it below.
Not only did Willow assume co-hosting duties with Oprah, but she also hit the stage. Yesterday, the pint sized singer performed “21st Century Girl,” her new single from her upcoming album. Watch it below.

The new single from Willow Smith premiered this morning on Ryan Seacrest‘s radio show. “21st Century Girl” has the 11 year old singing about dreaming big and being a rebel (with class, of course). Listen to the song below and make sure to check Willow out on Oprah tomorrow, where she will perform her new song.
Willow Smith recently threw a charity fundraising party at a roller skating rink in Summit, Illinois. The “Whip Your Skates Back And Forth” event was free, but all donations were matched by the Bears Care foundation with proceeds going to rebuilding Chicago’s athletic fields to benefit local children.
The party also served as a meet-and-greet with fans where Willow discussed her “I Love Me” campaign, meant to encourage kids to love themselves and show respect for each other.
Nice
It looks like Willow Smith could be hitting the big screen again. Apparently, Will Smith, his Overbrook Productions company, and Jay Z are in talks to remake the classic musical movie Annie with Willow playing none other than Annie herself. The film would be produced in conjunction with Sony. Remember that it was Will’s Overbrook company that produced last year’s remake of The Karate Kid, which ended up grossing $350 million.
So what do you think? Can you see Willow as Annie?

While Willow Smith continues to rake in sales with her hit “Whip My Hair”, Soulja Boy is stepping in to take credit for her debut single.
According to Soulja Boy, he’s the one who actually penned the popular hit hence why she uses one of his trademark lines.
Speaking on the track, he told his over 1 million followers on Twitter,
“Yes it’s true I wrote Willow Smith’s “Whip My Hair”, that’s why she says Hop Up Out The Bed, Turn My Swag On.”
Moving past the Billboard hit, Soulja Boy also says that he’s looking for the next female superstar to add to his SODMG label in 2011.
“All I need to do now is sign the next biggest female star to my label… hmmmm… *puts on thinking cap*.”
As previously reported Soulja Boy recently released his The DeAndre Way album but experienced poor sales, moving only over 13,000 copies in the first week.
Willow was spotted in New York for “Dick Clark’s Rocking New Year’s Eve” Friday where she performed the Soulja Boy ghostwritten track.

Willow Smith recently interviewed with Yahoo! Music, where she discussed her upcoming singles, working with her family and, of course, Jay-Z.
On a remake of “Parents Just Don’t Understand”:
There’s a possibility that I will…it’s a really great song.
What advice you get from your parents?
Have fun because that’s the best. If you’re not really having fun then there’s no point of really trying. And sometimes it can be work [but] you need to do it. Sometimes you have to do it because you have to promote your song.
What’s the message of your music?
I have the motto that says “Whatever you see in your closet that you like….pick it and wear it.” It’s not just your closet but it’s with your life. Whatever catches your eye…check it out. If you want to jump over a log, jump over a log.
On working with Jay-Z
When I have an idea and I express it to him, he doesn’t say “Oh, that’s bad I don’t like that!” He tries to make it better.
