Academy ‘split’ over confiscating Will Smith’s Oscar on decision day

Will Smith’s Oscars trial is at a stalemate: With Smith’s fate over The Slap slated to be decided today, the Academy board is reportedly divided on whether to confiscate the “Hancock” actor’s Best Actor award.

“The members — of which there are over 9,000, with hundreds of WhatsApp groups flying about — are completely split,” an LA Source told the Sun of the hearing by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Tinseltown tribunal was originally scheduled to meet on April 18, but was moved up to today following the 54-year-old’s resignation from the Academy.

Smith, who won the Best Actor Academy Award for his role in “King Richard,” slapped Oscars host Chris Rock after the 57-year-old comic made a “bald” crack about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who has alopecia.  “The decision was made earlier this week to expedite the hearing in the wake of Will’s resignation,” the source explained. “And during that call, it was clear that the decision would go to the wire.”

Kim Kardashian reveals what makes her ‘horny’ and able to ‘sleep at night’

Kim Kardashian is talking dirty … about her cleaning habits.

The beauty mogul revealed in a preview of her family’s new reality show that nothing gets her going quite like organizing her four children’s toys.

“To me, that’s what’s so exciting is just that side of our lives,” Kardashian, 41, said of the differences between E!’s “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” which wrapped last summer after 20 seasons, and Hulu’s “The Kardashians,” which is set to premiere on April 14.

“People don’t see, like, I cleaned out the playroom today,” she explained in the teaser, which debuted on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Wednesday. “Like, that kinda stuff gets me … makes me horny, to literally clean out my f–king playroom. I’m insane.”

With a laugh, Kardashian added, “Any mom will get that! Like, if you have a clean playroom? Oh, my God. Like, you can sleep at night.”
