Will Smith: Growth Beyond Comfort Zones

Will Smith has spent the last two years travelling from the South Pole to the North Pole, and the experience was apparently as terrifying as it sounds.

Speaking at the 1 Billion Followers Summit in Dubai, the actor opened up about his upcoming National Geographic and Disney+ series Pole to Pole with Will Smith, which documents his 100-day journey through some of the planet’s most extreme environments. You can expect him skiing across polar ice, scuba diving under frozen Arctic seas, and trekking through jungles and deserts.

When poison becomes medicine

One of the wildest moments from his documentary was: Extracting venom from a rare spider in the Amazon. Smith joined scientists to show how something dangerous can actually become life-saving medicine when studied properly. It’s a metaphor that runs throughout the series: confronting what scares us can lead to unexpected breakthroughs.

“From your darkest difficulty, right in the centre of the pain, is where the cure lives,” he told the audience.

Answers at the edges

The journey wasn’t just about adrenaline or ticking off extreme locations. Smith met Indigenous hunters in the Kalahari, elders in the Amazon, and island communities dealing with rising seas. These encounters shaped his view that solutions to global problems often come from the margins, not the centre. “The solution to many of Earth’s problems is there at the edges,” he said.

It’s a perspective that challenges the usual approach of looking to major cities or research institutions for answers. Instead, the series highlights the knowledge and resilience of communities living on the frontlines of climate change and environmental challenges.

Confronting fear head-on

He also got honest about fear. Whether it was spiders, extreme cold, or diving beneath ice, the trip forced him to face what terrified him. “If you are scared, you cannot really enjoy this world. Fear is the greatest enemy of our wildest dreams,” he explained. The actor described learning to manage his mind during moments of absolute panic, treating fear not as a reason to stop but as a threshold worth crossing.

The seven-episode series, filmed over two years, premieres on 14 January. Smith described it as both beautiful and terrifying, calling it “heart-warming” and suitable for family viewing despite the extreme nature of the expedition.

It’s less about spectacle and more about what happens when you push past comfort, listen to people living at the edges of the world, and find meaning in the uncomfortable bits. The kind of journey that changes how you see the planet and your place in it.

F1 Star Meets Kanye West’s Kids

Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian’s growing relationship is back in the spotlight, and this time the focus is not only on the couple’s public displays of affection but also on the Formula One star’s developing bond with Kardashian’s four children.

Lewis Hamilton’s Bond With Kim Kardashian’s Children In The Spotlight After Monaco Grand Prix

The seven-time world champion recently sparked excitement among fans during the Monaco Grand Prix when he blew a kiss toward Kardashian after securing a second-place finish for Ferrari. Kardashian, who was watching from the paddock, was seen smiling and filming the moment on her phone as Hamilton celebrated on the podium.

While the romantic gesture quickly gained traction online, insiders say the relationship has become more serious away from the cameras, particularly because Hamilton has already spent time getting to know Kardashian’s children.

Has Lewis Hamilton Met Kim Kardashian’s Children?

According to reports, Hamilton recently joined Kardashian and her four children – North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm – on a trip to Tokyo, a move that signalled a new stage in the couple’s relationship. Sources close to Kardashian said the reality star is typically cautious about introducing new partners to her children and only does so when she feels a high level of trust and confidence in the relationship.

That trust appears to be growing. People familiar with the situation say Kardashian has been pleased with the way Hamilton interacts with her children, viewing the British racing icon as a positive influence in their lives. The fact that the children have already spent time with him has fueled speculation that the relationship is becoming increasingly serious.

Kim Kardashian’s net worth is approximately $1.9 billion (£1.4 billion), while Lewis Hamilton’s net worth is estimated between $300 million (£225 million) and $450 million (£338 million).

A post shared by instagram

Hamilton, who has largely kept his personal life private throughout his Formula One career, recently broke his silence about Kardashian while speaking after the Monaco Grand Prix. The Ferrari driver described it as ‘amazing’ to have her support during the race weekend and praised the people around him for helping him stay focused throughout the season.

Monaco Appearance And A New Phase Of Public Attention

The Monaco race marked Kardashian’s first appearance at a Formula One event since romance rumours began circulating earlier this year. The couple first sparked dating speculation in February after being spotted together in Paris before later making their relationship public through social media posts and joint appearances.

Kardashian’s presence at Monaco attracted attention from fans and media alike. She was photographed throughout the weekend in the Ferrari garage and paddock area, supporting Hamilton as he battled for a podium finish. The race ended with Hamilton taking second place, giving Ferrari another strong result during the 2026 season.

However, many observers believe the most notable development is not the couple’s public appearances but Hamilton’s growing connection with Kardashian’s family. For Kardashian, who shares her children with former husband Kanye West, introducing a partner to her children has historically been a significant milestone.

With Hamilton already spending time with the youngsters and earning Kardashian’s trust, fans are increasingly wondering whether the relationship could become one of the more serious romances either star has experienced in recent years.

For now, neither Hamilton nor Kardashian has publicly discussed his relationship with the children. Still, the combination of family trips, public support at races and increasingly frequent appearances together suggests their relationship is continuing to move forward both on and off the track.

Selena Gomez’s $150 white sneakers pair perfectly with summer dresses

You don’t have to travel across the pond to find this star-approved shoe style.

During a recent trip to London, Selena Gomez spent time with music exec Vanessa Tara Angiuli, who posted several sweet snaps on her Instagram.

In one photo in front of Big Ben, Gomez paired the For Love & Lemons All Aboard Minidress with Cole Haan’s GrandPro Tennis 2.0 Sneakers for a stylish yet comfort-first ensemble.

While the leather-upper shoes have a $150 price tag, consider adding some socks or sandals to your cart. On any purchase over $175, you’ll get 20% off with the promo code EXTRA20.

The shoe also comes in several other color options — some of which are even on sale starting at under $110 — in both medium and wide sizing options.

While the FeatherFeel Foam signature comfort is lightweight and easy to stash in suitcases, the midsole is made with support for all-day walking comfort (or tennis, if you prefer)

Despite the comfy design, the style is still appropriately dressy enough to wear with dresses à la Gomez (or any outfit you see fit).

“Most comfortable shoes I own,” reads one review, while some note that, due to the leather, they require a wee bit of breaking in.

“The bottom has a lot of cushioning, and they are comfy straight out of the box. You feel like bouncing on clouds walking in these,” wrote another shopper.

If you’re looking to put a little stylish spring in your step, don’t hesitate to add to cart.

Brad Pitt will never marry again after Angelina Jolie 

Brad Pitt tying the knot for a third time is reportedly off the table after his tumultuous divorce from ex-wife Angelina Jolie.

The actor, 62, has been dating jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, 33, since 2022, but marriage is not in the cards for them, sources told the Daily Mail in a report published Friday.

According to the report, while the couple is “very happy” and the A-list actor “enjoys the peace and support of his easygoing girlfriend,” they doubt he’s ever getting married again or having any more kids.

“He has a great partner who he appreciates but there is no rush in that direction,” one source said.

Jolie, 50, and Pitt split in 2016, then engaged in a contentious legal battle before settling eight years later in 2024. They’ve also been battling in court over Château Miraval, the posh estate they co-owned in France.

The exes’ six kids — Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17 — are also estranged from the “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” star.

A source told the Daily Mail, “There has been a campaign of alienation [by Jolie] which has been successful.”

“The antagonism is huge,” the source continued. “He has been alienated from the kids completely. It is devastating to him.”

Pitt was absent from Zahara’s graduation from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, last week. TMZ reported that Pitt did not reach out to Zahara ahead of her college graduation.

A source told the outlet, “Nothing prevented him from showing up for her. Or ever visiting her. The day was about all she accomplished. Not whether he was willing to attend.” 

But a Pitt insider hit back, telling the Daily Mail, “You can’t have it both ways – to promote a complete estrangement and then criticize someone for not going to an event when you’ve made sure that they would not be welcome,” adding, “That’s not a situation which he created.”

Page Six has reached out to reps for Jolie and Pitt, but didn’t immediately receive a response.

Zahara notably dropped her dad’s last name while walking on stage to receive her diploma for her Bachelor of Arts in psychology — instead of Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt, she was announced to the crowd as Zahara Marley Jolie.

A source told Page Six of the situation, “It’s a shame people feel the need to cast a shadow over this celebration by taking a dig at a father who has already been separated from his family,”
