8)My mother was on the school board. I was on my way to MIT to study computer engineering but choose otherwise. My girlfriend is Jada Pinkett, who starred in 'Set It Off' and 'The Nutty Professor.' Who am I?
Answer: Will Smith. CS Vijay pointed out that Jada Pinkett may probably be married to The Big Willie coz she has changed her name to Jada Pinkett-Smith. I picked this question up from newspaper more than a year back. So the marriage development may have happened in the meantime. But isn't it possible that she changed her name to Jada Pinkett-Smith and still lives-in just as his girl-friend ;-) Does anybody have any info on her?
