wenn_gabrielleunion_jadapinkettsmith_052918
Jada Pinkett Smith and Gabrielle Union’s long-running feud came to an end after the two stars cleared the air on an episode of Red Table Talk on Monday (28May18).
The former Gotham star reached out to the Bring It On actress and asked her to appear as a guest on her Facebook Watch series, which led to their reconciliation after feuding for 17 years. The episode aired on Monday and the actresses had a candid conservation about their rift, the miscommunication that resulted in them not speaking for years, and how they felt tension with each other during that time.
“This is a very special show for me, because what I decided to do was make this about creating a new girlfriend,” Jada told her mum and co-host Adrienne Banfield-Jones. “Gab and I, we had a bit of a break, we don’t know how, and she’s been open to this healing, she’s been open to this conversation.”
She then recalled how she invited the Being Mary Jane star to the show and apologised to her for their feud over the phone.
“It felt so good on the phone with you to even just go, ‘Hey, I’m sorry that I didn’t even take the time to talk to you,’ you know?” she explained to Gabrielle. “And then I had to just apologize and just thinking to myself, ‘Damn, Jada! That was some petty a*s s**t!’ But at the same time going, ‘Well, that’s where you were then. Thank God you’re someplace else now.'”
Gabrielle also admitted that she could have reached out and tried to reconnect with Jada over the years, but instead she decided to let it go, refusing to let it affect her life.
But that didn’t work because “every time we would see each other we were always cordial and always nice, but it was always tension,” Jada explained.
Neither of them has been able to pinpoint exactly why they were considered each other’s rivals, with Gabrielle recently telling the Today show they were too young and stubborn to work out their differences.

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as  Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother  Sunny Deol  was already the  dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
