Judging by the smile and glow on her face, we thought Jada Pinkett Smith was returning from a tropical vacation, but it turns out she was actually departing from Los Angeles International Airport.

Last month Jada was in New York City to shoot the upcoming FOX series Gotham, in which she'll play Fish Mooney. The show is based off of characters from DC comics (specifically Detective James Gordon and Bruce Wayne), but Jada's character is original to the show.

Mooney is described as a "sadistic gangster boss" who owns one of Gotham City's most popular nightclubs and has "almost extra-sensory abilities to read people like an open book." Ben McKenzie will play the young Gordon in the show, which will premiere later this year.

Can't wait to see Jada in action -- and this would definitely explain the crazy red-tipped hairdo she was rocking in late March!
