Earlier this week, news broke that 'Whip My Hair' singer and Roc Nation artist Willow Smith would star in a Jay-Z produced remake of 'Annie' being produced by Columbia Pictures.

But, there's one person who isn't thrilled about the celebrity of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's children, Jaden and Willow.

NAACP Image Award nominee and New York Times Best Selling author Terry McMillan took to Twitter to blast the Hollywood heavyweights for encouraging their entertainment children to follow in their footsteps.

"The Smith children already act like child stars. There's an arrogance in their demeanor and behavior. I find it incredibly sad," McMillan said on the popular social networking platform on Jan.27. "It feels like the Smith children are being pimped and exploited. Or, they're already hungry for fame. What about 4th grade?"

For Sirius Satellite Radio personality Shanae Hall, becoming a football wife to former Atlanta Falcons safety Cory Hall wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. After her marriage ended with her high school sweetheart, and she returned to the dating world, she felt it her responsibility to school the ladies on things they were doing wrong.

Hall and her mother, and co-author, Rhonda Frost, decided that Steve Harvey's New York Times best-seller 'Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man' failed to give women the real steps to getting a man. So, the duo put their heads together and came up with 'Why Do I Have To Think Like A Man,' which comes complete with Harvey's friend Cedric the Entertainer's stamp of approval.

Shanae Hall sat down with BlackVoices.com to discuss her Farrah Gray Publishing book and fills us in on why black women need to use their goodies properly.

Excerpts from the interview are below.
