In her latest music video for the single "Summer Fling," Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith's 12-year-old daughter Willow Smith holds hands with an older boy, frolicks around in a crop top and sings "It's just a couple months but we do it anyway."

Oh yeah, and she has a weird, fake British accent for no apparent reason.

The mature video has caused some backlash online. Here's what some are saying on Twitter:

Willow Smith is 12, has a tongue ring, half her head shaved, and is bisexual. She needs to go live with her Aunty and Uncle in Bel Air.

Willow Smith, you're 11 years old. Nobody needs advice about "being themselves" from you. Call us back when you get your period.

— Grandad Freeman (@GrandadJFreeman) June 29, 2013

Willow Smith is 12 with a tongue ring? If my 12 year old daughter got a tongue ring, I would pull her whole tongue out like Mortal Kombat.

you are 11. RT: "@OfficialWillow I break rules and live life on the edge #yolo"

Comments on the music video's YouTube page haven't been kind, either.

Guillermo del Toro's giant monster versus robots film "Pacific Rim" comes to theaters Friday.

After a number of similartrailers, the only thing audiences really know about the film is that we can look forward to an all-out alien brawl.

We saw an early screening of the film, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Essentially, it's "Power Rangers" for grown ups.

Before checking out Warner Bros.' latest, here's a little more background on the monster film, along with some of the actors you can expect to see in the blockbuster.

No spoilers here.

"Pacific Rim" opens in theaters July 12.

After a chasm opens in the Pacific Ocean floor, terrifying monsters called Kaiju — Japanese for "giant beast" — begin attacking Earth.

They start tearing apart cities from San Francisco to Sydney.

In order to take them down ...

After 30 years as a member of the Church of Scientology, actress Leah Remini has left the building.

The "Old School" and "King of Queens" star finally called it quits after years of questioning the religion'streatment of followers and the leadership of David Miscavige.

“It all began when Leah questioned the validity of excommunication of people,” a source told PageSix of her decision. “She is stepping back from a regime she thinks is corrupt. She thinks no religion should tear apart a family or abuse someone under the umbrella of ‘religion.’ ”

Remini reportedly spoke out about the mysterious disappearance of Miscavige's wife, Shelly, who has only been seen once since 2006.

Another PageSix source explained, “Because Leah threatened to call the police to find Shelly, she was put through ‘Security Checking,’ her family was put through it, and her friends.”

Scientology blogger Tony Ortega wrote earlier this week: “Shelly has not been seen [in public] since 2006, except for one sighting when she was allowed to attend the funeral of her father. ... Remini dared to ask about it — and loudly.”

The Page Six source explains that as a result of her outspoken questioning, the former co-host of “The Talk,” “was put through ‘thought modification’ for five years,” but, “When they tried this with her again earlier this year, she said, ‘Enough.’ ”

On Thursday evening, Remini issued her first public statement since leaving Scientology:

“I wish to share my sincere and heartfelt appreciation for the overwhelming positive response I have received from the media, my colleagues, and fans from around the world. I am truly grateful and thankful for all your support.”

Meanwhile, a Scientology rep denied all allegations.

Remini, 43, has been a member of the church for three decades after her mother became a Scientologist in the 1970s. The actress had risen through Scientology's ranks to achieve Operating Thetan Level Five, with three more rungs to climb until reaching the highest spiritual rank, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The actress’ husband, restaurateur Angelo Pagan, is also a Scientologist.

Mike Rinder, a former Scientologist who also runs a blog about the religion, says Remini “remains convinced of the value of L. Ron Hubbard’s work, but will no longer tolerate the squirreling and human rights abuses perpetrated in the church. Nor will she allow anyone to tell her who she can and cannot talk to or associate with. As a result, the church has lost one of its most effective supporters — both in the public relations arena and their bank balances.”

Amanda Bynes usually hides behind a computer screen, hurling insults via her Twitter account.

She can safely call people "ugly" from the comforts of her disheveled apartment and rarely makes public appearances, except for court dates.

So when the 27-year-old former Nickelodeon star is spotted on the streets of New York City — attempting to do everyday things like run errands or eat soup alone in a restaurant — people feel as if they have spotted a rare bird outside of its cage.

Some New Yorkers have recently taken it upon themselves to capture Bynes on such outings, and she doesn't disappoint.

Instagram user @mlcny spotted Bynes dancing as she walked down Eighth Avenue in New York this week — wearing the same sweatpants outfit she wore to court Tuesday, trading out her blue wig for a blonde one.

And as luck would have it, a supervising producer at "The View" happened to be "one of three people" at a soup and salad restaurant on the Upper West Side when Bynes — in her full wigged glory — walked in and started mumbling to herself over a cup of split pea soup before terrifying patrons by peering at them through the outside window on her way out.

Watch "The View" producer tell the crazy story:

Here's a photo the producer took of Bynes while eating dinner alone.

"She sat down, she ate very, very quickly, and was mumbling to herself," she explained of the encounter. "I thought to myself, very seriously, why is she alone? Why isn't anyone doing anything about this?"

Bynes got wind of the producer's tale and once again took to Twitter late Thursday with a denial.

that is not me eating soup! there is someone posing as me who looks nothing like me! ew!

— amanda bynes (@amandabynes) July 12, 2013

when my hair grows out will everyone stop putting up fake videos of random girls in wigs posing as me? thanks!

This morning, people in Hollywood are probably kicking themselves that they didn't think of "Sharknado" first. 

If you weren't watching SyFy's latest original made-for-TV movie last night, you missed out on a big television event.

The film, starring Tara Reid and former "90210" star Ian Ziering, rocked Twitter last night, trending for hours on end.

"Sharknado" quickly  gained attention after SyFy released a ridiculous trailer that made the two-hour event look like a "so bad, it's good" film.

The film generated so much online buzz that even people in Hollywood — from actors to producers and execs — began tweeting about it.

After the ratings come in for "Sharknado," we shouldn't be surprised if we see a storm of similar movies in the future. 

Take a look at what Hollywood was saying across the Twitterverse last night:

Somewhere in Hollywood there is a senior executive yelling at a junior executive for not coming up with #Sharknado first.

Video-streaming giant Netflix is in talks for one more season of 'Arrested Development,' says Brian Grazer, co-chairman of the production company behind the comedy series.

Ad Age reports that in an interview on Bloomberg Television yesterday, Grazer stated "We are in conversations with them to do another. They are interested in doing that."

The show, which gained a cult following after only three seasons in part thanks to its availability on Netflix, received mixed reviews from critics and was even accused of being responsible for a drop in Netflix's stock price by severalpublications after its revival back in May.

Ted Sarandos, the Chief Content Officer in charge of getting new shows and movies onto the service, claims that fans love the new season and that the response from critics stemmed from the way they reviewed the series:

"If you're a critic in New York and you set your alarm for 3 o'clock in the morning, and you wake up and watch a half-hour of television and write a review, which is like the equivalent of writing a review of the first 10 minutes of a movie, you're probably not going to have a great experience."

Two new teasers for "Breaking Bad" have been revealed featuring Hank and Jesse.

The last time we saw DEA Agent Hank (Dean Norris) he finally figured out his brother-in-law Walt (Bryan Cranston) is the huge drug lord he's been chasing since season 1. 

The teasers don't show much, but that's okay.

A full trailer should debut next week during San Diego Comic Con. Next week can't come soon enough.

The final eight episodes begin August 11.

Watch out, Emma Stone.

The star of "Spider-Man 2," Andrew Garfield, told Entertainment Weekly he wouldn't mind the web slinger having a boyfriend. 

While kind of joking with producer Matt Tolmach, Garfield asked why Mary Jane — Spidey's love interest — isn't a guy.

‘What if MJ is a dude?’ Why can’t we discover that Peter is exploring his sexuality? It’s hardly even groundbreaking!…So why can’t he be gay? Why can’t he be into boys?”

Garfield went on saying he knows the perfect guy to play the role of the male MJ — up-and-coming rising star Michael B. Jordan.

“I’ve been obsessed with Michael B. Jordan since The Wire. He’s so charismatic and talented. It’d be even better—we’d have interracial bisexuality!”

Here's a photo of Michael B. Jordan:

The only problem?

Jordan has been rumored as a frontrunner for a different comicbook character in a potential reboot of the "Fantastic 4."

With so many great tracks and albums coming out every week, it’s sometimes difficult to keep up with all the news.

Lucky for you, we at FILTER love looking through everything to find some great new music amongst everything.

This week, we are bringing you some great artists that have recently come out with new tracks that have captured our attention and made us eager to share with you!

PAPA

We have been following this LA duo since the release of their 2011 EP, "A Good Woman Is Hard To Find." Since then, PAPA have not only continued to create excellent music (that’s a given), but they have gained a reputation for putting on quite the animated and unforgettable live show. Last month, they released a 7” that featured tracks in anticipation of their upcoming, debut full-length. This week, they shared the ridiculously catchy “Young Rut” which only makes us want the full-length to come out sooner.

Lowland Hum

This husband and wife duo from North Carolina makes beautiful folk music together. There is a lovely simplicity to their sound, however the harmonizing of their vocals adds a vital depth that is pleasant to listen to. They put thought into their lyrics and add visual elements to their videos to create an experience that is multi-sensory. Just take a look at their video for “War Is Over” to see what we mean. With a sound so soothing, it’ll definitely be worth a look into when their album, "Native Air," comes out next month.

Twin Peaks

Riding on an interesting blend of lo-fi and garage pop-punk, these Chicago teenagers have been creating quite a buzz. The whirlwind layers of guitars and raspy vocals get into the listener’s head quickly, and the youthful lyrics are catchy enough to get that same listener singing along with Twin Peaks immediately. “Irene” is one of the standout tracks on their debut album, "Sunken," though it should be said that the entire record is a solid listen and enjoyable experience.

Ellery James Roberts

After breaking away from the brilliant but short-lived WU LYF, Roberts put out a single this week that reminded us of his raw talent. While we’re a little saddened that it’s only one track, “Kerou’s Lament” is so packed with grand emotion and intensity that it satisfies the need for more. The polished synths in the background provide an oddly contrasting harmony to his gruff cries that yell out a message of strength in the midst of battles. With such honest emotion, it’s difficult not to be captivated by this one track and really, no less should be expected from him.

Sampha

Even though he has yet to release an EP, Sampha is already renowned, evident in his exceptional collaborations with popular artists like Drake, Jessie Ware and SBTRKT. However, it is tracks like “Without” and “Indecision,” that this R&B artist proves he is more than capable of standing alone. His smooth vocals and poignant lyrics speak volumes in our ears and we’re looking forward to hearing more on his upcoming EP, "Dual."

When Jay-Z — one-half of music's billion-dollar couple— likes something, he puts a seal of approval on it.

Tech, fashion, beer, sports teams, presidents: Everything he touches turns to gold.

Independently worth an estimated $500 million, Jay-Z seems acutely aware of his global, cross-industry influence.

On the recently released (and disappointing) album “Magna Carta Holy Grail,” he references Andy Warhol, Tom Ford, Maybachs, Mark Rothko, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Givenchy, and the MoMA — name-dropping them as equals on the pop culture playing field.

People in the business tend to agree.

“He is a true virtuoso in terms of his crossover abilities in both entertainment and sports business,” deputy commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silver, told USA Today. “It's clear why he is the cultural icon he's become.”

Take a look at the 10 product endorsement deals that made Jay-Z a jack-of-all trades:

10. Bing

The search engine company fashioned blown-up images of each of the 320 pages of Jay-Z's unreleased autobiography, “Decoded,” onto unexpected surfaces: a pool bottom in Miami, dinner plates at his New York City restaurant, a rooftop in New Orleans, and more. Fans could discover clues to the pages' locations by logging on to bing.com and using Bing Maps.

9. Carol's Daughter

Jay-Z, Will Smith, and Jada Pinkett Smith invested $10 million in this Brooklyn-born beauty products start-up, which targets African-American women. “Jay-Z once said that chapped lips are universal and we can all relate,” founder Carol Price said. “As long as I sell products like Lip Butter, I will have something for everyone.”

8. Rhapsody

In a killer ad spot for the digital music service, Jay-Z recreated all his album covers in single-take style. Rhapsody became the exclusive supplier of the album “The Blueprint 3” three days before its release.

7. Hublot

After previously designing a limited edition watch with luxury brand Audemars Piguet, Jay-Z jumped ship to Swiss rival, Hublot. He announced his allegiance in the third line of his song “Otis,” saying, “New watch alert—Hublots!” Demand skyrocketed.

6. Hewlett-Packard

Jay-Z made HP cool, for a short while. He reportedly became interested in HP computers after seeing their impact on students involved in the Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund, and signed on to star in an innovative commercial, applauded for its captivating CGI visuals.

5. Budweiser

Jay-Z served as co-brand director of Budweiser Select, curated the music at Bud's “Made In America” festival, and recently signed on for a global advertising campaign to build the brand's international presence.

4. Reebok

In 2003, Jay-Z designed the S.Carter sneaker for Reebok, becoming the first non-athlete to land such an endorsement deal with an athletic shoe company. It ran out of its 10,000-item stock in just a few hours, making it the fastest selling shoe in the company's history. He even rapped about his kicks in a commercial also starring 50 Cent.

3. Barack Obama

Since confessing at the height of his campaign in 2008 that his iPod had quite a bit of Jay-Z on it, and “brushing his shoulder off” during a campaign speech, Barack Obama has sought the rapper's help in getting out the vote and hosting fundraising events. They even text one another, often exchanging sports analogies, Jay-Z bragged in an interview with Hot97 radio.

2. Samsung Galaxy

As part of a $20 million deal between Samsung and Jay-Z's company Roc Nation, the mobile company became synonymous with “Magna Carta Holy Grail.” Jay-Z appeared in candid commercials discussing the album's production and inspiration, and Samsung gave away 1 million early copies to Galaxy phone owners who downloaded the promotional app.

1. Brooklyn Nets

When the Nets were making the move from New Jersey to Brooklyn, owner Bruce Ratner recruited Jay-Z as an investor. He reportedly owned less than 1%, but his influence stretched from the team's redesigned black-and-white logo to the music played in the Barclays Center.

After announcing the creation of his own sports agency in April, Jay-Z relinquished his stake, per NBA rules.

Despite being the most talked about TV on Twitter Thursday night, Syfy's "Sharknado" didn't do all that well in the ratings. Just over 1 million people tuned in to watch Ian Ziering fight flying sharks with chainsaws and Tara Reid bandy about doing whatever she does. Apparently, you don't need that many viewers to take over the Internet with Steve Sanders GIFs. 

"Sharknado" got only a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 age demographic, based on early Nielsen numbers. For comparison's sake, "Chupacabra vs. the Alamo," a Syfy camp production that did not capture much of a Twitter audience, pulled a 0.3 rating back in March. 

And despite being Syfy's most social broadcast to date, "Sharknado" doesn't really stack up to other largely-tweeted TV events. The "film" was tweeted about 318,232 times, while the Super Bowl garnered about 24 million tweets this year. Even the Season 3 premiere of "Teen Wolf" got 1 million Twitter mentions in June. 

Still, those who were tweeting thought "Sharknado" was generally awesome. In case you missed it, you can catch the re-broadcast next Thursday on Syfy at 7 pm.

Kate Middleton's reported due date is July 13 and if the royal baby arrives on schedule, Middleton will be checking into her luxury birthing suite any moment now.

In the Lindo Wing of St.Mary's hospital where paparazzi are already awaiting Middleton checking in, patients are greeted with champagne, luxury toiletries and a reclining chair for fathers.

Georgie McGrath, a woman who has given birth to two babies in The Lindo Wing, told E! News that once inside the hospital, it's "like a five star hotel."

"You have an extremely nice room," McGrath continued, adding that the best part is the food.

"The food is delivered to you," explains McGrath. "You have a wine menu, there's champagne, Diet Coke, coffee, tea—you name it. You could go in and say, 'Could I possibly have a Lobster Thermidor?' or whatever and it will arrive."

And Middleton can reportedly expect a three-course feast at every meal.

"Kate can start with options like cream of tomato soup before moving on to an entrée of lamb chops or Mediterranean grilled chicken with a choice of side dishes," according to the hospital menu. "Desserts, meanwhile, include cheesecakes, fresh fruit platters or a selection of cheese."

In addition to the room service, McGrath also explains that a team of doctors and nurses are at patients' beck and call.

"When you arrive here, you have the midwife, you have the nurses, the nursery nurses, you have your consultants," she says. "So you really don't have to know much because everything is done for you, literally, you don't have to lift a finger and they're there at your every whim and they'll do it for you."

A unique extra perk for new parents is the option to have a solo date night after the baby is born. 

"Once you've had your baby, you can have a special evening when the baby will go into the nursery, the nursery's nurses will look after it, and you have a special menu for you and your husband, with champagne, nice food," reveals McGrath.

But all of the extra perks add up.

The New York Post reports the cost of a suite at the Lindo Wing in central London is "£6,265 ($9,450) for a one-night stay with no complications and £2,200 ($3,318) for each extra night."

"Based on a trouble-free three-night stay, Kate’s bill will top £10,000 ($15,085)," writes PageSix, adding that "it is possible she and Wills have booked more than one suite."

It appears fatherhood hasn't quite calmed Kanye West's notorious temper.

As the rapper arrived at LAX airport in Los Angeles Friday, a TMZ paparazzi approached him saying he was a fan.

Kanye didn't react kindly and yelled at the photog: "Don't talk ... don't talk to me ... I don't want to hear paparazzi talk to me or anybody I know ... and tell everybody never talk to anyone that anyone knows ... don't talk to themselves .. DON'T TALK EVER AGAIN."

And then he blocked the camera with his hand. Watch the outburst below:

But this isn't the first time Kanye has had an altercation with a TMZ cameraman. In 2008, the rapper was arrested at LAX after smashing a photographer's equipment.

Let's relive the moment below, shall we?

This afternoon, the Bay Area's KTVU Channel 2 news made an embarrassing mistake while reporting the names of people they thought were pilots on the Asiana flight that recently crashed.

The station says the names were confirmed to them this morning by NTSB. And when typed out on the teleprompter, the anchor and the station didn't realize just how racist the "names" (which were not, in fact, those of the pilots), sounded.

According to Channel 2, the crew was comprised of:

• Captain Sum Ting Wong
• Wi Tu Lo
• Ho Lee Fuk
• Bang Ding Ow

And here's how the station's producer responded when he learned of the error:

Oh sh*t.

You probably know "Pacific Rim" is about giant-sized monsters and robots battling over Earth.

But do you know who's in the film?

This is a serious question.

While the many trailers we've seen tell us the movie is about robots and monsters going head to head, they fail to introduce actors and their roles in the Guillermo del Toro flick.

Sure you may have caught snippets of Idris Elba and Charlie Hunnam, but do you know who they are and what they're from? 

The film is out today in theaters and is already doing well in theaters, earning $3.6 million in Thursday night sales, now see who's in the film.

Do you recognize the actor who plays pilot Raleigh Becket?

"Sons of Anarchy" fans should. Charlie Hunnam is known for his role on the FX series.

He's slightly unrecognizable without his long locks and signature facial hair.

You probably don't recognize the Japanese actress playing Mako Mari.

Box-office analysts are not expecting Guillermo del Toro's big monster movie "Pacific Rim" to do well in theaters this weekend.

Early estimates pegged the movie to debut to a paltry $25-35 million. 

That wouldn't be good for Warner Bros. since the film cost a reported $185-$190 million to produce.

However, after earning $3.6 million at theaters Thursday evening estimates have been pushed up — slightly — to $41 million for the weekend. Still not an impressive number.

Instead, many think Adam Sandler's latest poorly reviewed film "Grown Ups 2" will beat out "Pacific Rim." While it may earn a predicted $40million this weekend — don't be surprised if it falls short — it looks like people are highly underestimating the power of del Toro's flick.

Here's why we think the monsters will pack a punch.

Ticket sales / The film is already doing great at theaters.

Yesterday, "Pacific Rim" accounted for 60% of Fandango's advance ticket sales.

We were told Thursday the film was also outpacing Brad Pitt's big-budget "World War Z" at the same point pre-sales cycle.

The $3.6 million "Pacific Rim" took in last night is in line with what Pitt's film took in upon its Thursday evening debut.

After low box-office estimates, that film went on to earn $66.4 million opening weekend.

What's bringing people out to see the monster flick? 

According to a Fandango survey of more than 1,000 "Pacific Rim" ticket buyers most — 86% —are heading out because of positive online and mobile buzz.

Fans of director Guillermo del Toro are flocking to see the film as well, with 64% saying they were fans.

As of today, "Pacific Rim" still held 31% of daily ticket sales on Fandango. However, "Despicable Me 2" and "Grown Ups 2" both saw 30% and 28% respectively.

Great reviews.

After early poor press, the film is currently sitting at 73% on film site Rotten Tomatoes.

Word of mouth should help this film out. 

While Sandler's sequel is currently poised to bring in $40 million — no doubt because that's what the first film opened to back in 2010 — the actor hasn't had a winning streak as of late at theaters.

His last two films, "That's My Boy" and "Jack and Jill," opened to $13.5 million and $25 million respectively. It wouldn't be a surprise if this film came nowhere near the $40 million mark.

This is the family to bring the kids to see.

Though del Toro's monster movie has a PG-13 rating, it doesn't have anywhere near as much gruesome violence as Disney's "The Lone Ranger."

In fact, the film offers a group of positive role models less grim than some of the D.C. and Marvel superheroes we've seen so far this year at theaters.

A nostalgic feel of anime characters brings thoughts of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" to mind. And that's a good thing.

Imagine that Apple CEO Tim Cook secretly called the heads of the Big Four record labels, which control most of the music on the planet, and said, "Hey, next month let's all agree to raise the price of a song in iTunes from $1.29 to $2, minimum." And imagine that the record labels — who are supposed to be competing — all agreed.

And imagine that this took the form of a literal conspiracy, like in a movie, involving secret dinners between CEOs, emails being deleted, and an all-powerful villain, who, facing death from an incurable illness, demanded that when it came to pop music, "The price will be the same!" for everyone.

The icing on the cake: Rupert Murdoch is in on it, too.

And lo and behold, music on iTunes goes up to $2 — a 50% hike — for no reason whatsoever.

You'd be furious. People would call for boycotts. The FTC might investigate. It would be front page news.

And rightly so: That would be the very definition of illegal, anti-competitive monopoly exploitation of the $2.9 billion music download market.

But Apple founder Steve Jobs basically did just that in the book market, a federal judge ruled last week.

It's a huge, watershed decision. Books are a much bigger business than music. Ebook downloads were worth ~$3 billion in 2012, and they're expected to grow to $8.2 billion in 2017. (The total book market including hardbacks is worth up to $42 billion.)

Yet no one seems to care.

People shrugged at the news. Normally, when an entire industry executes a permanent 50% price hike in a single month, consumers go crazy.

This chart (right) shows what happened to ebook prices back in 2010, once the iPad and its iBooks store came online. The average price of books leaped from ~$8 to just under $12.

By the way, this isn't just some legal technicality in which a couple of contracts were altered and there was a happy side effect for Apple.

This was Steve Jobs, creating an iBook store for the iPad and wanting all publishers to sign up for it at prices 50% higher than the $9.99 level Amazon was charging. Apple and the publishers discussed it at their very first meeting.

The CEOs of the publishing houses had secret dinners in the back rooms of New York restaurants to figure out how to screw Amazon and its low prices. Hachette executives were told to delete emails in case they contained evidence of the conspiracy. Jobs and his staff wanted the deal done before he died. Murdoch was in on it. Apple's Eddy Cue pursued the deal monomaniacally, pausing only to eat and sleep. And then, at the iPad launch event, Jobs gave the game away: When asked why anyone would pay $15 for a book on the iPad when Amazon sold them for $9.99, he replied  "The price will be the same."

The only thing the scene lacked was a thunderous sky and flashes of lightning as Jobs spoke.

The implication was clear: He knew ahead of time that Apple's book deal would lock in a uniform new price for the entire market.

And by the entire market, I mean Amazon, too, which once controlled 90% of the ebook business. This chart (right) shows the effect on Amazon's prices.

With their Apple pricing deals in hand, the publishers all renegotiated terms with Amazon — which is why all the top selling books on Amazon are now nearly $14, not $9.99.

Jobs even confessed that he wanted prices for ebooks to go up in his autobiography.

You can read it yourself. On Amazon, it's currently selling for nearly $14— not $9.99.
