Jaden Smith went to prom again

[rootbeerfloat]

With Amandla Stenberg aka Rue from The Hunger Games. This time he wore a dress.

[WOT?*]

She is so pretty. What a shame. lol.

ETA: Is it me or does she look like she'd rather be somewhere else?

[meshaliuknits]

Is that a tee shirt over the dress or just an unfortunate dress?

Shoulda stuck with batman.

[LadySusan]

Noooooo, not Amandla! She seems so cool and he seems...

[ringstrue]

:/

[pixy0stix]

Girls, you can do better than Jaden.

[pixy0stix]

I thought he was a pretty heavy pot smoker, no?

[lissaholly]

There is a rumor that he wants to come out, but surprisingly, his parents want him to hold off. Maybe they don't appreciate the negative comments from his and his sister's infamous interview? This coupling though, makes me believe the rumor. Amandla going with her gay guy friend makes much more sense than Amandla being romantically involved with Jaden. I am sure In Hollywood there are some super odd friendships that form because, well, there is a lot of odd to choose from..

[IIOY]

I think he's pretentious and a bit of an AW, but his prom antics have softened me up on him. I'm still gonna laugh at his head-in-the-clouds quotes, though.

I don't know but....again, many teenagers smoke pot and manage to live productive lives. If that's his only crime, I don't get why all the hate. I think it's because he is weird and I don't like that. He's a kid. 

I'm here. Plus, who gives a shit if he smokes? There are adults who smoke a great deal and probably get a lotless judgement than Jaden does. ::shrugs::

DH may have worn a dress or two back in the day. He was one who liked to challenge people's sensibilities. So I won't judge. He's young.

[aprilsails]

I'm annoyed that they aren't smiling. It's prom. Smile dammit!

Otherwise I have no opinion on his sartorial choices. He can wear whatever the heck he wants and at least they are unlikely to be kicked out for exposing too much skin.

[Deleted]

I don't think he does things to make people talk (like Kardashians) I think he just dances to his own beat.
Kind of like Michael Jackson. (Not comparing but in the same style of people - if that's a thing) MJ didn't get a monkey to shock people, he did it because I think he wanted a monkey.

[pixy0stix]

Here's what bugs me about him - He's not educated. At all. He's been allowed to do whatever he wants, however he wants, and he thinks that he's an intellectual. He's had no consequences, ever, in his entire life. His parents basically birthed him, used him to make some money, and then set him free like a little puppy. He's everything that a spoiled little rich kid is. The perfect embodiment. And he will never grow up. He'll be the perpetual Peter Pan.

I don't think he's a bad kid. I don't mind if he does smoke (although that was in reference to Sou saying she doesn't think he does drugs not that I had any judgement against it). I do mind that no one is showing him how to be an adult, or give him the tools to succeed as an adult once he gets out of the business.

Also and hate to do this but why does formal education have to be synonymous with intellectualism? Look I think this kid is an obnoxious arrogant AW but at the same time I feel kind of weird at the idea that intellectualism cannot be achieved without formal schooling.

Have you read his tweets? Or the interview he did with his sister? LOL! You can tell he really think he's saying something deep, but it comes out like gibberish. Part of it is his age, but some of it is not.

[MrsAxilla]

I like his hair.

This.
And the detrimental effects of smoking a bunch of weed on the teenage brain are well documented. So it isn't like he will grow into his smarts.

This.  So much this.

I blame their confusing mixture of free range parenting in a bubble of privilege, Tom Cruise, Scientology, kids as accessories and friends, and lazy "let them do what they want" laissez faire parenting in said bubble. They couldn't make up their minds so they just threw them out there and hoped for something to stick.  I mostly blame Tom Cruise, because I can.  Will and Jada are not stupid people, so it's sad to see their kids stumbling through life in the public eye like they are.

My friend Google says they did attend elementary school - for about one year in a school Mom and Dad purchased that was a confusing mess of Montessori, Bruner, Gardner and I don't know what else, with a load of Scientology thrown in that is now closed.  (Suri Cruise also attended.  Wonder if that's what led to the divorce.)  Going to school made Willow "depressed."  Of course it did.  School requires structure and heaven forbid the children have any form of structure (or feel anything other than "eternally happy") in this free-form life.

They look miserable. Why even bother with the formality of going?

They were probably trying to look "deep" or "ironic."

Jaden annoys me in the same way Gisele Bündchen and Blake Lively annoy me.  They aren't bad people but they just think the world should take special notice of all their deep thoughts, special clothing, diets and artisenal whatever they are into.  I will make fun of these people forever.

Damn. I'm pretty smart now, so I could have been a genius if I didn't smoke all that pot as a teen. 

Probably. The studies are pretty clear and agree that heavy pot smoking as a teen is bad news on a variety of levels.

And ps: why is it "prom" and not "THE prom"? I don't go to "store", I go to "the store".

God I hate the English language.

YES.

I realize this is 90% the fault of his parents undereducating him in all areas of academics and life, but omigahhhhh stop talking.

On second thought, we are too hard on Jaden. He's a kid whose parents have let him just wander around aimlessly and be. This is his being. He says some asshole-ishy stuff every now and again, but he's not drinking and drugging and whoring and stealing cars and dragracing as far as we know and he's not treating women like objects from what I can see. Why do we have all this disdain for him? Yes, he is weird as hell. As hell. But, so what? Weird folks grow up and post on message boards sometimes. You know?

He is just like, normal teenage pretentiousness times a thousand plus millions of dollars. 

Normal teenagers are awful enough. Obnoxious celebrities are awful enough. Jaden is both of those things put together and multiplied.
