Jaden Smith and dad, Will Smith, attended a special presentation by a group of young adults in the Mayor’s Leadership Club with Mayor Boris Johnson at City Hall in London, England on May 24th. During the visit the 14-year-old star performed an impromptu rap for the crowd at the achievement celebration. The Hollywood duo visited London as part of their circuit across the globe to promote their new film, “After Earth.” In the film, Jaden’s character Kitai gets a chance to prove that he has what it takes to be a soldier after he and his father (Will Smith) crash land on earth after traveling from their home planet of Nova Prime. Jaden and Will also made a trip to BBC 1 Studio on their rotation in London. In between work Jaden made time for some fun. The teen actor/rapper hung out with actress/singer Selena Gomez at Hakkasan while in London. “After Earth” hits theaters nationwide on June 7th. Check out photos of Jaden while in London below.

Earlier today Pro Wrestling:EVE was at the Rushcliffe Arena in Nottingham, England for the 2013 “Queen of the Ring” tournament, with eight stars vying for the chance to be crowned “Queen of the Ring” and earn a future shot at the EVE Championship. In addition, the championship itself was also defended, as Nikki Storm retained her title in controversial fashion, lamping her opponent Rhia O’Reilly with the title belt directly in view of the referee and getting herself disqualified. The pair had pulled out all the stops, in a tense and aggressive match abundant with conflict, both verbal and physical. The finish occurred when the referee was inadvertently knocked out by O’Reilly, who brought the belt into the ring, sensing an opportunity to capitalise on the situation. However, despite her having Storm down for the three count, the ailing referee had failed to see the pin, and Storm then took  it upon herself to end the match early and on her terms, meaning the championship remains firmly around her waist. The tournament, which was unique in not featuring a single English wrestler, was won by “Portugal’s Perfect Athlete” Shanna, who saw her way through three great matches to earn her crown. Her first round match was against rising Canadian star Leah Von Dutch, pinning her with a sit-out implant buster. The  first round was also notable  in featuring the Owens twins, Kasey and Leah, going one-on-one against each other for the first time in EVE. In a close-fought match, Kasey eventually got the better of her sister, rolling her up with an inside cradle to advance to the next round. Meanwhile, veteran Joshi wrestler Emi Sakura sealed her spot in the semi-final, defeating The Glamour Gym’s Carmel Jacob in a fine match, and Kay Lee Ray pulled off a huge victory against Alpha Female, rolling into the ring before the ten-count following a hard tumble to the outside and counting Alpha out. However, after the match a bitter and jealous Carmel Jacob ran to the ring and beat Ray down, leaving her status in the tournament up in the air. The first semi-final was a somewhat one-sided affair, as Emi Sakura made relatively quick work of a valiant Kasey Owens, who took flurry after flurry of stiff strikes and stinging chops, and although she was more than able to dish a beating out herself when the rare chance arose, Sakura’s experience paid off in the end, landing a beautiful corkscrew moonsault for the three-count. Her opponent in the final was arguably decided before the second semi-final had even begun, as although Kay Lee Ray showed a remarkable display of guts, refusing to back down and holding her own against Shanna despite her previous assault at the hands of Jacob, the on-form Shanna was relentless, picking up the win once again with her sit-out implant buster. The final was a plum tie in every sense, with both wrestlers putting on a clinic of athleticism, technique and grace in the ring, matching each other move-for-move. In the end, a brutal doublestomp from Shanna while Sakura was in the tree of woe was all that separated the two, and Shanna was proudly crowned EVE’s 2013 Queen of the Ring. Following the match, Nikki Storm came out to address the new number one contender to her title, before making a hasty exit, whetting our appetites for what might happen next. See below for the full results: “Queen of the Ring” Tournament – First Round Matches: * Emi Sakura def. Carmel Jacob. * Kasey Owens def. Leah Owens. * Shanna def. Leah Von Dutch. * Kay Lee Ray defeated Alpha Female by countout. “Queen of the Ring” Tournament – Semi-Finals: * Emi Sakura defeated Kasey Owens. * Shanna defeated Kay Lee Ray.

• Sergio Agüero extends Manchester City contract by a year• David Beckham career ends as he misses PSG's Lorient gameAgüero signs one-year extension of City deal Sergio Agüero has underlined his commitment to Manchester City by signing a one-year contract extension. The 24-year-old Argentina striker is now tied to the Premier League runners-up until 2017. Agüero joined City from Atlético Madrid in 2011 for £38m and ensured his place in the club's history books when he scored the last-gasp winning goal against QPR to seal the 2011-12 Premier League title and end the Blues' 44-year wait for the title. Agüero recently played down talks of a move away from the Etihad Stadium in the summer, saying: "I'm very happy at City and I feel very appreciated. It's been barely two years since I've arrived and sometimes I feel like I've been here for all my life. I have a fantastic relationship with the fans. I can never forget that moment. I am looking forward to next season and pushing hard to win the title again." Agüero had been linked with a move back to Spain, with Real Madrid believed to have been interested. APAll over for BeckhamDavid Beckham's football career is officially over. The former England midfielder has not been included in Paris Saint-Germain's squad to play Lorient in Sunday's final game of the season, meaning that his tearful farewell at the Parc des Princes last Saturday was his last match before retiring. Carlo Ancelotti, the PSG coach, had said last weekend that Beckham was unlikely to play at Lorient, having bid an emotional adieu to fans at his last home game. APEverton upset fansEverton are facing a backlash from supporters after revealing a new club crest which does not feature the club motto "nil satis nisi optimum" - "Nothing but the best is good enough".

Abandoned after neo-Nazis caused chaos, England's last match in Dublin was a hateful low point that shocked the gameNeil Fraser watched the England fans making Nazi salutes, leering, jeering and sneering. He heard the boos and the goading battle cries: "No Surrender to the IRA", "Judas! Judas!" And then, when David Kelly – one of eight England-born players in the Republic of Ireland team that night – put his side 1-0 up, and the chants and coins raging down from Lansdowne Road's upper west stand were replaced by wood and metal and iron, he did what any press photographer would do: moved closer, camera cocked, seeking the shot that would capture the chaos.Then it all went black.An iron bar, part of a back support for one of the wooden seats in the stand, had hit him in the head.The next thing Fraser remembers is lying on his back in the goal mouth, being bandaged by an ambulance medic and watching, through blurry panoramic vision, a full-scale riot. "It was very surreal," he admits. "And very wild."While he was knocked out, the photographer became the photograph. A picture of Fraser – bloodied and blotto, his skull fractured – became one of the enduring images of the night, along with that of a baffled boy crying into his Ireland scarf as the violence flared around him.After the match was abandoned after 27 minutes, with the home side 1-0 ahead, Ireland's manager, Jack Charlton, called it a "disaster", adding: "I've seen a lot in football but I've never seen anything like that. Every Englishman should be ashamed." Terry Venables, then in charge of England, also looked bewildered as he said: "There is no word to describe what I feel about people like that. It's sickening."Dozens were injured and 40 people arrested. Yet, strange as it seems now, both managers wanted the match to be replayed. A date that May was mooted, with Graham Kelly, the FA's chief executive, calling it "unfinished business." In a sense it still is. When the two countries meet at Wembley on Wednesday night, it will be their first encounter since that bitter February evening 18 years ago.The scale of the violence in Dublin that night, and the wicked glee of the perpetrators as they ripped up the upper west stand came as a shock to most people. But the warning dots were there; it was just that nobody connected them. There had long been a hard core of England fans who viewed football as war by proxy and Ireland as the enemy. They had caused trouble at the World Cup in 1990, Rotterdam in 1993, and other places in between. In Dublin their ranks were swelled by members of the neo-Nazi group Combat 18, who had not come for the craic, or the football.A lack of segregation, caused by the Football Association of Ireland reselling tickets in English sections to Irish fans, and a security operation that was not just complacent but outright dozy, did not help either. As Fraser, then a 21-year-old working for the Star, recalls: "There was a very tense atmosphere. When you see a bunch of guys doing a Nazi salute you know it's not going to be a normal match."An official public inquiry by the former chief justice of Ireland Thomas Finlay concluded the violence was caused solely by English fans, without any provocation. Yet Finlay also blamed the Irish police for refusing assistance from the National Criminal Intelligence Service in Britain and failing to act on information about Combat 18 travelling to Ireland. As a letter in the Guardian from the Labour MP Peter Hain two days later put it: "Wednesday night's events were not mindless thuggery but organised political violence. Leaflets were circulated at football matches in London last Saturday which advertised the Ireland match and actively encouraged violence."A significant number of the 4,500 England fans at Lansdowne Road were horrified at what they saw. Anne-Marie Mockridge, who has been to every England game since 1992, remembers cowering under the lower tier of the west stand as her fellow countrymen appeared "hell-bent

Hard work lies at the heart of their careers but they might also have what it takes to make it as managersThe national obsession with football managers, never more crazed than in the past fortnight, is the popular expression of the cult of leadership that keeps business schools busy and airport bookshelves full. Like corporate CEOs, the occupants of technical areas are examined exhaustively for those seven (or five, or 12) highly effective habits that could ensure competitive advantage (though, as in the business world, the evidence for any of them making a difference out of proportion to luck or spending power is patchy at best). Still, fans, like shareholders, keep the faith in their next messiah. So it is telling which individuals are earmarked for future greatness, what qualities the national game most prizes in its leaders.In the past few days, a new candidate on the shortlist of possibilities – in addition to the ever-present Hugheses and McCarthys and Benítezes – has emerged to give an insight into this question. Phil Neville, at 36, sensing that it may be time to call it a day as a player, has apparently found his way into the mix for the vacant manager jobs at Everton and Stoke City. He is, too, reportedly wanted by David Moyes as a right-hand man at Old Trafford. And he has simultaneously been fast-tracked into the England hierarchy to sit alongside Stuart Pearce with the Under-21s. What, you might wonder, makes him so likely a special one?One answer seems to be some of the same, somewhat elusive qualities, that characterised him as a player. That old chant that used to follow Manchester United around the country: "If the Nevilles can play for England – so can I," never sounded too outlandish, but the brothers amassed more caps between them (144, no goals) than Bobby and Jack Charlton (141, 55 goals). Though it might be a challenge to come up with a YouTube clip's worth of Phil Neville's 59 international appearances, successive managers saw something in Phil they needed. He was a world-class gap-plugger, a stellar space-filler. If there was a hole in the international side, for a decade or so it was instinctively felt to be Neville-shaped.The apparently fated rise of the Nevilles in the game for years to come also seems to betray a kind of collective guilty nostalgia for a link between effort and reward. Both brothers have always looked like a blunt corrective to the surreal fantasy land of Premier league football, archetypal multimillionaire journeymen. They never made success look like anything other than hard work and determined graft. If the excesses of the Premier League have a morality tale then it is generally told through the former United player Lee Sharpe, who was as profligate with his talent as the Nevilles were nurturing of theirs. The story goes that once, knocking off from training, Sharpe, already showered and changed and heading for his car, heard the repetitive thud of a ball hitting a wall and went to investigate. It was Gary Neville, practising his long throw. Sharpe mocked his dedication, but the 600 games Neville went on to play, long after Sharpe's career was over, famously gave him the last laugh.It is an odd fact that not one England player of the past 20 years is currently coaching in the Premier League. It says something about our football then that hopes for a Pep Guardiola or a Johan Cruyff, leaders who might set the tone and philosophy of the national game for a generation, seem, for better or worse, currently lie with one or other of the Neville brothers.What might that philosophy consist of? In an interview, Phil Neville set out some of his thinking. He has apparently been collecting wisdom for the past five years, writing things down. "I pick his [Moyes's] brains constantly," he said. "What it is like when your team goes on a night out? Do you set curfews?" Or: "You go and watch a training session and you think, 'That looks easy'. But then you think, 'How big is the pitch to make it w
