Will and Jada Smith's house in Calabasas, California is 25,000 square feet and rests on 150 acres of land. The home took them seven years to build, so it is more than a bit of a bummer that they are now planning to sell it. The custom-constructed compound has multiple wings and a massive motor court with an eight-car garage. Inside Jada and Will Smith's house there is a double height entryway and living room with columns, multiple fireplaces, a formal dining room, and an oak accented kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances, and a separate breakfast room. The house also sports a meditation lounge, a retractable skylight in the main living area, and the recording studio where Willow Smith recorded her first hit, "Whip My Hair". Outside of Jada and Will Smith's house, there is a man-made lake, a swimming pool designed to look like a lagoon, volleyball, basketball, and tennis courts, and multiple buildings for chilling in when you're not running around playing. The couple is asking $42 million for their former abode. Divorce or no, if they get their asking price, they'll be walking away with enough pocket change to buy something equally fabulous, separately or together.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department released cell phone footage Wednesday of the police shooting of Kajieme Powell, a 25-year-old black man killed on Tuesday in St. Louis, according to St. Louis Public Radio.
A convenience store owner called 911 on Tuesday when he suspected Powell stole drinks and donuts from his shop, according to a recording of the call. Another woman called to report Powell was acting erratically and had a knife in his pocket.
Two officers in a police SUV responded to the calls, the cell phone video shows. When the officers got out of their vehicle, Powell walked in their direction, yelling and telling them to shoot him already.
St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said Tuesday that both of the officers opened fire on Powell when he came within a three or four feet of them holding a knife "in an overhand grip."
But the newly released cell phone footage undermines the statement, showing Powell approaching the cops, but not coming as close as was reported, with his hands at his side. The officers began shooting within 15 seconds of their arrival, hitting Powell with a barrage of bullets.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department released the video and 911 calls, telling St. Louis Public Radio that it plans to act transparently.
The shooting death occurred less than four miles from where Michael Brown was fatally shot by a police officer in the suburb of Ferguson on Aug. 9.
A White House petition that would create a “Mike Brown Law” requiring police officers to wear cameras has earned over 100,000 signatures in just one week.
The petition, with 131,897 signatures at the time of publication Wednesday, asks the following of the White House:
Create a bill, sign into law, and set aside funds to require all state,county, and local police, to wear a camera.The law shall be made in an effort to not only detour police misconduct(i.e. brutality, profiling, abuse of power), but to ensure that all police are following procedure, and to remove all question, from normally questionable police encounters. As well, as help to hold all parties within a police investigation, accountable for their actions.
Even though the petition has crossed the 100,000 signature threshold that usually prompts a response from the White House, no response has yet been posted. On the petition site, the White House says that it may not respond to petitions involving law enforcement to “avoid exercising improper influence.”
