A quick work of advice — never invite Will Smith and his wife Jada into your home…

The Collateral actress has revealed in a new interview with Redbook magazine that the frisky pair frequently sneak off at parties for quick sex sessions in friends’ bedrooms, bathrooms, closets… anywhere they can find.

And that, frankly, makes us feel a little queasy.

…these are the days of Madonna’s life.

As the Material Girl’s latest Malawian adoption soap opera continues to unfold, Madonna visited Chkhota Village in Malawi on Sunday, where she has bought land to build part of the girls’ school she’s planning. According to our photo desk, in this shot she’s being shown a map of said land she has purchased.

The New York Post’s Maureen Callahan offers an insightful look at Gwyneth Paltrow’s GOOP and why it’s destined for failure; it’s snarky but balanced, calling Paltrow’s email bulletins “narcissism masquerading as benevolence” (we concur) while explaining what makes Paltrow and her affectations so maddening.  The piece includes several quotes from the obnoxious Paltrow profile in Elle UK, including our favorite: “F— the haters!  I am who I am. I can’t pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year.”

1) Nobody uses the term “haters” anymore; 2003 ended.  2) Nobody expects Paltrow to pretend she isn’t rich.  It’s the failure to acknowledge that everyone else isn’t — or even that not all rich people care to cleanse their colons semi-annually using fair-trade wheatgrass — that grates.

Ironically, today’s “BE” missive via email was one of the less galling; it talked about how to get the most out of your parenting time, and the twee psychobabble flew thick and fast, but it showed some improvement in the appealing-to-a-broader-audience department.  But…you know.  We already have an Oprah.

We will give Paltrow this: her hair looks amazing in those Elle UK shots.

Listen, we’ve got nothing against Angelina Jolie.  We really don’t.  We think she could stand to eat a cheese steak lately, but we don’t think she’s a bad person or anything; she’s a good actress, she’s pretty, she seems quite intelligent, etc.

But we’re very tired of this…well, “news cycle” isn’t quite the right way to describe it, but the tendency of every story about Jolie, or quoting Jolie, not only to focus on her children and her status as the committed mother of six, but to cast her in this saccharine, sanctified light: St. Angie of Toddler Acres.  The latest set of quotations is particularly syrupy, as Jolie describes herself as “[waking] up every day, just the happiest mommy,” and says she doesn’t want to miss “school lunches and things like that.”

Frazzled mommies wouldn’t mind a shout-out, we’re betting — after the jump.

Page Six reports that Uma Thurman made the best of the long flight from New York City to Utah for the Sundance film festival last Thursday — by doing yoga poses on the plane.  A witness reported that Thurman “started doing yoga in the aisles. She used the flight-attendant station as a ballet barre, where she stretched and did pliés for 20 minutes.”

We know experts advise travelers to get up and move around during lengthy flights, but that seems a bit pretentious to us…especially since the witness also noted that, immediately after deplaning, Thurman “ran for an exit and then chain-smoked like crazy.”  We guess the one cancels out the other…
