LOS ANGELES - Will Smith is angry over celebrity gossip Web site articles that he said misinterpreted a recent remark he made in a Scottish newspaper about Adolf Hitler.


In a story published Saturday in the Daily Record, Smith was quoted saying: "Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'let me do the most evil thing I can do today.' I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good.'"

The quote was preceded by the writer's observation: "Remarkably, Will believes everyone is basically good."

Over the weekend, dozens of celebrity gossip Web sites posted articles about the comment, many saying that Smith believed that Hitler was a "good" person.

"It is an awful and disgusting lie," Smith said in a statement Monday provided by his publicist. "It speaks to the dangerous power of an ignorant person with a pen. I am incensed and infuriated to have to respond to such ludicrous misinterpretation."

"Adolf Hitler was a vile, heinous vicious killer responsible for one of the greatest acts of evil committed on this planet," read the statement.

    Will Smith is awesome. The media and paparazzi and journalists and all them are just trying to get people to believe what's wrong so that celebrities look bad. You can't always believe what you read.

    The press is 99% crap these days anyway...They twist stuff around to seem worse than it is because "Good News" doesn't sell newspapers...What better "Head Line" than One of THE Biggest movie stars on the planet...Some people will do anything to make money but karma will get them all in the end!

    why don't you stick to acting instead of making statements about things you don't know, read and
    learn about what this human monster did to the human
    race, and you will understand your mistake

    "Well Hitler wasn't born evil and he did set out to do what he thought was good for Germany and to hell with the conseqences as far as he was concerned."

    THERE WAS NOT A DAMN THING WRONG WITH WHAT THAT MAN SAID...he was telling the truth...and seeing that Hitler didn't like black people either I think they blowing this mess all types of out of proportion...
