#JAB Celeb: Jaden Smith Wears Dress to Take Amandla Stenberg to Prom



If Jaden Smith's not the best prom date ever, then he's definitely one of the most stylish.

A couple of weeks ago, the 16-year-old son of Will and Jada got all decked out in his white Batman suitto escort Mecca Kalani (a.k.a. Crystal Mec) to the year-end dance. He made the prom scene once again on Friday when he took Amandla Stenberg, who played Rue in The Hunger Games, to her high school prom. (This guy gets around, eh?) Of course, Stenberg took to Instagram to share a few shots from her big night. "Here's to highschool," she wrote alongside the above pic of her and her date in their party attire.

While Jaden opted to leave his superhero costume hanging in the closet this time around, he wore an equally unique outfit to prom no. 2. Smith likes to experiment with "girl clothes,"so it wasn't all that surprising that he showed up in a black-and-white dress, skinny black pants, and a black blazer for the occasion. He accessorized with a fingerless white-and-gold glove and pair of sneakers. The only traditional thing about the After Earth star's look was his boutonniere. Amandla simply captioned a shot she posted of Jaden sniffing his white rose, "Gentleman."

Jaden certainly made a fashion statement, but Amandla had the prettier prom dress. The 16-year-old actress looked beautiful in a metallic floor-length halter gown, which she topped off with long silver braids and a gold nose ring
As for the status of Jaden and Amandla's relationship — we're guessing they're just friends — they make a cute couple, NO?

Amandla is more than just a pretty face. Earlier this year, she and a classmate created a short video for a school project that addresses the relevance of black culture and its appropriation by the mass media.

Zambia shuts schools over typhoid outbreak

Thirty schools in the Zambian capital Lusaka have been closed due to unsanitary conditions following an outbreak of typhoid in the city, the Times of Zambia reported on Thursday. Public Relations Manager for Lusaka City Council, Mulunda Habenzu, said the schools, including both public and privately-run ones, are in Kanyama, a densely-populated shanty town, west of the city, where the water-borne disease has broken out. So far, a 11-year-old girl in one of the schools has died of suspected typhoid while two others have been tested positive for the disease, the official said. The health ministry claims it has scaled up measures to bar the disease from spreading to other parts of the city. Deputy Minister of Health, Chitalu Chilufya, said 36 cases were recorded in Kanyama but noted that the situation has been brought under control. “There has been no escalation in cases of typhoid from the initial 36 that we are talking about in the township and we will not relent in the quest t...

Ice Prince preaches against pre-marital sex

*Ice Prince Zamani Ice Prince may have learnt one or two lessons from having a child outside wedlock as the young man, perhaps from experience, advised students of the University of Lagos against having pre-marital sex. At the MTV Base Suga Tour where the singer was one of the artistes that performed, Ice Prince thrilled the students and other guests with hits from his albums, making them dance and dance as they sang along with him. Amid the fun, some of the students inflated condoms and turned them into balloons and started tossing them around the auditorium. It was then Ice Prince caught one of the condom turned balloons and started preaching against pre-marital sex. His advice was well accepted but it didn’t stop one or two of the students talking about Ice Prince being a father. “This guy thinks we don’t know that he has a child outside wedlock or does he think we would have forgotten so quickly. I think he should have given himself this advice before impregnating a w...
