Much ado about...well, not nothing, exactly.

Last week, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith shot down a tabloid report that they were ending their 14-year marriage -- and that Pinkett Smith had an affair with Marc Anthony, her love interest on TV's HawthoRNe.

But although Pinkett Smith 39, and Anthony, 42, never had a full-blown romantic affair, one source tells Us the twosome had an "inappropriately close" friendship.

"They were a little touchy and like they were in their own little world," a set source explains, adding that the twosome often hung out alone in his trailer, and talked and texted frequently.

And when Anthony's own seven-year marriage to Jennifer Lopez began to fall apart, he leaned on his work pal.

"The more distant Marc and Jennifer became, the closer he got to Jada," a family insider says, adding that Pinkett Smith may have "overstepped her bounds" in lending Anthony marital advice.

"Jennifer didn't like that."

    Who cares if they are getting it on with each other. I just want to know is the show coming back on. I get so tired of show ending and leaving you hanging. If you are going to end the show do a two hour show and tie up the lose ends.Who shot Marc Anthony charter? Is he dead? did Hawthorn get back with her husband? what about the daughter? etc...

    Sometimes when folks go through a divorce, it can be very hurtful. I used to cry when I was alone about my divorce. Anthony needs someone to talk too, Jada, is someone he can talk too, without judgeing. At this time in his life, this is what he needs, someone to talk too. Peace

    wow !!! money is tha root of all EVIL !!!!! COME ON JADA- IS IT WORTH LOSING YOUR DIGNITY ????

    I don't think that married people should have intimate friendships with people of the opposite sex. It's unnecessary and asking for trouble.

  • September 13, 2011 - 5:51am Leah Jamilah

    I think they are just good friends...

    Jada had a history of having a fit when Will was offered parts involving sexy scenes with other women. So what gives her the "open-door" to do just that. 1. you don't get involved with best friends husbands. 2. you don't involve friends in your mess. 3. you don't do double standards in a working successful marriage. You keep it strong, and can't go wrong.

    Jada has had male friends like Tupac. Why can't a male & female be friends? -sjk

  • September 11, 2011 - 12:10pm Asha Irie

    To the author(ess) of this piece, - that's what friends are for. They support and advice when the going gets tough. One more bit of no-news

    Where there is smoke there is fire. Sounds just like Jolie did when she was sneaking around with Brad.

    Hmmm if this is true, then that really sucks=[

  • September 04, 2011 - 11:21pm Krystell Dahlen

    I think J-Lo deserves a real man in her life not a little pip squeek like Marc, i dont know what she seen in him to begin with, he looks like he can be a control freek, good for her i say! And Jada and Will wont divorce are you kidding me, if Jada leaves Will for Marc her career would be over !!

  • September 04, 2011 - 1:07am Misty M. Morse

    OMG~! PLEASE don't belive everything ppl , what if someone started a rumor bout you? it could happen ya know ? so what if they are or aren't ?? it is their business and we are not even in there radar let alone zip code so you all need to get a life and mind your bizness !

  • September 03, 2011 - 6:37pm Tina Mullins

    Where is the love??? Clebs or plain folks - life is hard enough. Their jobs put them out there for all to see, honestly how would your life be if we knew what you were doing 24-7???

  • September 03, 2011 - 4:49pm John Meoff

    Quite frankly, who really gives a sh*t? Marc Anthony is a has-been, and the older that Jada Pinkett Smith gets, the uglier she becomes. Two dogs in the doghouse - that's how I see it. Will Smith can do a hell of a lot better. And Jennifer Lopez is nothing more than a third-rate prositute, so who really cares about her?
