“I don’t think they know how poorly they come off…” Howard Stern
Howard Stern is still just as controversial as ever in this latest clip where he and co-host Robin Quivers attack Will and Jada Smith for just about everything they said while on the Oprah show. Howard keeps going full steam ahead after the jump.

Lifefiles, please do us all a favor and don’t make posts about this idiot… Howard Stern. He doesn’t make any sense and has nothing better to talk about than slamming a powerfully accomplished black family living in the hollywood spotlight.
Keep doin’ your thang Smiths!!!
ABSOLUTELY. Cant stand that man!
I actually don’t understand his disdain for them. Firstly, Hollywood chews and spits a child from celebrity parents out in such a manner, I can understand clearly why Will & Jada mentioned the family unity matter. He’s undermining their reasoning for the things they do and yet overbearing hidden messages. And the pressure Howard speaks of is not pressure at all because Will & Jada simply want what any other parent would want for their children…being the best they can be at whatever interest them.
As for marriage business plan, there’s nothing wrong with that. It serves as a healthy marriage when you and your partner have purpose in your relationship. Heck, my girlfriend and I have a purpose. It’s why we continue working through any and everything. And Howard, even the most renowned individual utilizes slang phrases. It doesn’t dictate “Ebonics” or whatever you choose to say. This article is Lame
What’s wrong with being rich Black parents who don’t think their children are entitled to the riches of the parents? In other words, similar to Warren Buffet who said education is the only thing he’ll guarantee the children in the family, after that, you have to find your place in life. So in a nutshell, I maybe a billionaire but it doesn’t dictate your ownership in those riches. You must work as I did.
Tell em’ MBA!!!!!
I guess none of you people actually listened to the interviews or Howards commentary… He actually says he likes them, he met them, and they were very nice people! But Will and Jada sounded like two snooty snobby pieces of black royalty… like she disn’t used to be a slut out in LA, and he’s not from west Philly hood!!! They’re talking about having a marriage business plan, and that they’re two big people who came together!!! ENNNNHHHHH…. Jada was a nobody before she latched onto to Will’s ass hairs. All Howard is saying is that they sound ridiculous and I’m gald thelifefiles picked this prize piece of reporting up!
I am just watching this interview today on Oprah and Howard is dead on! People who do not agree with that obviously did not listen to the interview. The Smiths interview came off very scripted and unreal! They tried to come off as Aristotle and Socrates and DID NOT ACHIEVE THEIR GOAL. BTW, they sound like they are deep into scientology and Robyn was dead on when she said no wonder they are friends with the Cruise’s. Narcissus of a feather truly flock together.
God forbid the world be shown that rich, powerful black families with morals, and standards do exist and they didn’t have to compromise who they truly are and become bougie uncle toms just to fit in and maintain their success. Kudos to Will and Jada for putting it out there.
Morals? Will and Jada are swingers…. the fuck other couple, Yeah thats moral
Howard Stern and his uncle Tom side kick sound silly. I totally understand what WIll and JADA meant by “”Two Beings”. They were and still are high profile celebrities so coming together made them a power couple. Two big beings!!! I get it and I am proud of what they are doing. I only pray that God will continue to bless they’re marriage so that other black couples. Wait, hell any couple for that matter can look up to these two. Go will and Jada! I am praying for you both.
I think you’re taking Howard too serious!
It’s just a joke people!
GEEZ
I do think Will & Jada are bullshit but whateva!
I didn’t even listen to Howard, but Will sounded like a damn soulless person. He seemed programed and didn’t talk like a normal person like he was trying to hard. I turned it off because they seemed so fake. He sounded brain washed pronouncing everything in slow loud syllables, like he was talking to a bunch of kids or a bunch of learning disabled.
Howard’s take on Tom Cruise is basically the same. Will and Jada are just saying the stupidest and most cliche things and Oprah takes it, not just seriously, but like it’s the new word of Christ. They sound like pompous and arrogant jerks. As if they invented Hollywood. Like Men in Black 2 and the Western with the mechanical spider don’t exist.
Also, the director of Karate Kid had a real problem with Will Smith because he basically was just there in name and Will had scenes shot several times in a row over the director’s better opinion. Karate Kid may have done well in dollar terms, but look at the IMDB ratings and other polls done on the film, it sucked.
It’s not about being black or white. Howard doesn’t dislike Will Smith, and has said he likes him and a lot of his movies. Will’s just a douche, that’s all.
Karate Kid has a 69% rating…that’s not too shabby if you ask me.
I understand his positioning with Oprah and her admiration for the couples wording being something out of this universe but the consensus is based not on him saying he met the couple and liked them but for what they said in this specific interview. Howard has competitions in his studio where porn stars compete on who can squirt the furthest out of their vagina’s…yet he’s here casting stones because of the couple sounding arrogant; really Howard?
Harald Zwart’s highest rated film is The Karate Kid. His lowest is Pink Panther 2. The Karate Kid is also his highest grossing film to date. He couldn’t make a movie to save his life and Will…well, he’s the movie industry’s epitome of the go-to-actor. You need a hit, go to will. So Yes I understand he’s the director but hey if someone of Will’s status who trumps my career can make a scene better and his child is the star of the very film I’m shooting; “have at it Will.”
I would do the same if I were a director in Zwart’s position where my films bomb at the box office and the child in the current film as a severely famous parent on set.
Dissector would love to chat. 323-930-3328
howard stern is perpetual Iago. contrarianism is untrustworthy by definition.
the reality is that stern has always had a plan for himself – and his entire platform is built around instigating uninformed dissent by appealing to the base emotions of his listeners.
laymen’s terms: this dude is a mindfuck. who in their right mind listens to a guy like this? he LITERALLY serves no purpose. NONE.
btw: will smith and jada made great points about their relationship.
I’m sorry but Will and Jada sound like a couple of phonies. I would love to be a fly on their home wall…..wonder which kid will hit rehab first.
People take offence because they feel that Howard is bashing on black people or families. It might seem this way because the life files only posts videos of Howard when he happens to be commenting on someone black .
The fact of the matter is that everybody with no exclusion gets the same treatment from him and he does have a point that the language used by Will and Jada is egocentric. This doesn’t take anything away from black people. There’s a lot of successful and humble black families that actually deserve praise and respect but this family is not the case.

That Howard video made the cut because life files authors are obviously Leno fans and your point is only valid because of a crossroad. Find me another Howard video commentary on a subject like this other than the Leno and tell me if its fair to all of Howard’s body work. I’m not much of a Howard fan but the guy talks about a lot subjects and people and they get the same treatment.
You mean to tell with all the stuff going on in the world, Howard chooses to analyze Will & Jada’s interview on Oprah…….
Come on…..Howard is hating for no reason….what he is saying make absolutely no sense.
Great article on Fashion and Lifestyle.
