Even the holiday season won’t prevent the Smith family from getting super honest with one another.
On Saturday, Will Smith, 50, posted a YouTube clip of his family celebrating Christmas at home — including 47-year-old wife Jada Pinkett Smith‘s decorations, which he describes as “too much,” and footage of the actor forcing his kids to “get into the Christmas spirit whether you like it or not.” In the home video, the father of three also debates the lyrics of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” with his daughter, Willow.

The banning of the holiday classic “Baby It’s Cold Outside” because critics suggest it alludes to date rape is ruffling the songwriter’s daughter, who blames the turn of events on Bill Cosby.
“Bill Cosby ruined it for everybody,” Susan Loesser — whose father is legendary songwriter Frank Loesser — told NBC News on Thursday.
“Way before #MeToo, I would hear from time to time people call it a date rape song. I would get annoyed because it’s a song my father wrote for him and my mother to sing at parties. But ever since Cosby was accused of drugging women, I hear the date rape thing all the time.”

Iconic musicians like Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan, Dolly Parton and Rod Stewart, and Michael Bublé and Idina Menzel have all recorded versions of the song together. Chris Colfer and Darren Criss sing the tune to each other on an episode of Glee, and Will Ferrell and Zooey Deschanel belt it out in Elf. But in recent years, the catchy holiday song has left fans feeling more and more uncomfortable due to its suggestive lyrics, which have led many to wonder if they describe an instance of date rape.
Because of the potentially sinister meaning behind the lyrics, a Cleveland radio station has decided "Baby, It's Cold Outside" really can't stay - on the air, at least. Wdok Christmas 102.1 has pulled the song from its 24-hour Christmas rotation,...
