Jada Pinkett Smith is our number three girl crush behind Angela Bassett and Michelle Pfeiffer. You know you love her too -- it's hard not to, right? She's this stunning, bold, hilarious woman who's married to a huge movie star, but still has her own thing going on, and she's shooting a new pilot for TNT!
List of Reasons We Think Jada's The Greatest:
1. Because she's so BADASS in the Matrix movies. Do you think she wears that leather outfit around the house? Because we totally would...
2. The way she and Will are always complementary but not too matchy-matchy on the red carpet. We know this is Jada's doing. We all remember Will's pre-Jada fashion.
3. Her voice is kind of loud, but she makes it sound friendly and in-charge, rather than forced and annoying in a Jim Carrey sort of way.
4. Because she's married to a megastar, but somehow manages to command the stage whenever they're interviewed together (i.e. On Oprah: "I told him, you'd better be absolutely sure, because there will be no divorce!" Yes, get it, girl).
5. That episode of 21 Jump Street where she played the straight-edge member of a high school girl gang and gave our eleven-year-old self an education on the evils of dealing drugs.
For all these reasons, we couldn't be more thrilled to see Jada back on TV in TNT's new pilot, Time Heals, about a single mom/nursing director in a North Carolina hospital. Granted, the title's a little cheesy, and it's penned by Touched By An Angel writer John Masius, which could increase its potential sappiness, but we feel like Jada can rock it out anyway.
