“IT'S CALLED GOSSIP AND OF COURSE IT'S AN OBSESSION OF MINE -ANDY WARHOL

There may be too many celebrity lists, but there's only one Will Smith. Smith is the kind of performer that fans love to love, playing big, affirmative characters who seem to match the person he is in real life. "It's just Will Smith every time you see him," says Ellis Cashmore, author of Celebrity Culture. "That's a supposed part of the secret of remaining on the A list--to imprint your own personality on the roles. People go back to the box office because they know they're going to like it."
