WILL SMITH IS PISSED OFF TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF PISSTIVITY AFTER HIS HITLER STATEMENT WAS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT.

It's the Holidays and Will Smith is in a grumpy mood and not too thrilled with celebrity gossip website articles that he says misinterpreted his recent remark in a Scottish newspaper about Adolf Hitler. Saturday, The Daily Record quoted Smith as 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 sites posted articles, he says, that twisted his comment around to have the reader believe that he said Hitler was a "good" person.

"It is an awful and disgusting lie," Smith said in a statement Monday. "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."

Needless to say, the Jewish Defense league (JDL) pounced all over the statement: "(He) spit on the memory of every person murdered by the Nazis. His disgusting words stick a knife in the backs of every veteran who fought (and sometimes died) to save the world from the intentions of Adolf Hitler." As if that wasn't bad enough, the JDL is also calling on Barack Obama to repudiate Smith's comments, and wants theaters to pull Smith's new flick I Am Legend from their screens.

Lord have mercy.
