Smith's acting advice for Willow

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's daughter Willow made sure she was well prepared for her TV debut - she turned to her famous father for acting advice.

Eight-year-old Willow - who appeared in her dad's 2007 film I Am Legend and voiced a character alongside her mother in hit animated film Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa - is guest starring in a one-hour episode of Nickelodeon's True Jackson, VP later this month (25Jul09).

And Men In Black star Smith was determined to impart his acting wisdom to his young daughter.

Willow tells Access Hollywood, Hes giving me advice like, Willow, stay in the moment! You have this, you got it down. Just stay in the moment. Okay, now go out there and kill it.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has embarked on a secret career as a writer - the teenage actor has already published a book under a fake name.

The 19 year old has vowed to keep his identity secret from the public as he continues to test his talents at writing, but admits he's enjoyed some acclaim with his first venture.

He tells U.S. magazine Star, "I write verse. I'm not sure if it's any good. I don't write under my own name - that would be a bit scary - but I have had a private book published, and it's appeared in some magazines. I don't think that I could ever in a million years write a novel or a play, but a poem or a short story, they are... within my bounds."
