The Fresh Prince of Bel Air was one of the funniest shows on TV for a while. Will Smith and the rest of the cast were comic gold most of the time, but there were some serious moments throughout the show that took time to reflect on serious issues and deal with very real problems that can be found outside the realm of TV. Some of them were heart-rending and actually made people cry due to the severity of the issues, while others were life lessons that were quite valuable and raised the estimation of the show tremendously. Here are

Call it life imitating art! Remember the episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air during season five in which Will Smith dressed up as an older man in order to pose as Ashley Banks' dad? Basically, Ashley (Tatyana Ali) had secretly dropped out of Bel-Air Academy in order to attend public school without telling her family. When parent-teacher conferences came around, she thought she'd have to break the news to Uncle Phil (James Avery)—that is, until Will proposed his "genius" idea to dress up as her father. Eventually, plans go awry when Will tries to ask Ashley's teacher on a date, and the teacher discovers he's wearing a fake mustache. So what's the point of us...

I’m telling you right now that Will Smith reads this site. I cannot prove it but I just know he does. Not even a week ago just a short time after we were still ranting and raving about the Fresh Prince of Bel Air faux reunion, I wrote in an article that I was never really a fan of “serious action hero Will Smith.” I still think his best work comes in two forms: When he’s 100% humorous or 100% serious.

We recently learned that Ang Lee was in talks to direct a sci-fi film project called Gemini Man that has been waiting to be developed since 1997. The technology it would take to bring this story to life has finally caught up and Skydance Media is ready to move forward with it.
THR is now reporting that Will Smith is in talks to star in the film. The story centers on "an aging assassin who tried to get out of the business but finds himself in the ultimate battle: fighting his own clone who is 25 years younger than him and at the peak of his abilities."
So it looks like we will get to see Smith battle a younger version of himself in the movie, which seems pretty cool. Just imagine the present day version of Smith fighting the younger Fresh Prince of Bel Air version. I'm sold! Who wouldn't pay to see that?...

In under two weeks, some of our favorite DC TV shows will return to airwaves with new episodes. So, as we continue the sprint toward their respective season finales, it’s only natural that official synopses for each surface well in advance. Given that, we’re able to peer into the future and discuss what’s to come in the first week of May for Supergirl, The Flash and Arrow.
Obviously, we’ll begin with Supergirl, since it’s the first to air. When examining the description, one can’t help but compare Alex being kidnapped by an unknown party to Kara having a price put on her head not long ago. And although Rhea is in this episode, I’m not so sure she’s responsible because this kind of has Cadmus’ stench on it. But, I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

I’m still trying to get over the obsession that is Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I mean sure, it was a solid show. Yes, it featured a young Will Smith who went on to be a mega superstar actor in Hollywood films. But is the show That good? Honestly I think it’s the theme song. Seriously. The theme song solidified that show in the sitcom Hall of Fame for memory. Countless media outlets have used their own version of the Fresh Prince song and I would imagine that Smith is still raking it in on the royalties front month after

After going through a strictly harem pants and knee-length tank top phase in his youth, the teen idol has now moved on to fresh streetwear fare, favoring a combination of skinny jeans and button downs or basketball shorts paired with just a handful of diamond chains.

Will Smith still has a lot of love for the Banks family.
Over 20 years after the series finale of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Smith reunited with his onscreen family, including Alfonso Ribeiro, Tatyana Ali, Karyn Parsons, Joseph Marcell and Daphne Reid. "Always amazing to spend an afternoon with my Fresh Prince family," Ribeiro -- who played Smith's cousin, Carlton Banks, on the beloved sitcom -- captioned a photo of the cast. "Wishing that James Avery was still with us to make this complete."
Avery portrayed Uncle Phil on Fresh Prince during the duration of the series, which aired from 1990 to 1996. He died on Dec. 31, 2013.

Perhaps one of today’s rising stars in the world of filmmaking is writer/director Josh Boone. As of right now, Boone only has three credits to his name: Stuck in Love, The Fault in Our Stars, and All We Had (for which Boone only received screenplay credit). Of those three, only one has received a certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and yet on the heels of The Fault in Our Stars, Boone managed to leverage his success and attach himself to many high profile projects including three Stephen King projects (The Stand, Revival, Lisey’s Story), an adaptation of The Vampire Chronicles, and finally, X-Men: The New Mutants.

Fox’s treatment of Marvel properties is unacceptable. There, I’ve established how I feel. Now, let’s run down why it’s so exciting that one day we may see them work with Marvel in a capacity similar to Sony. To put it bluntly, it feels like Fox is just in it for the money. I’m aware of how capitalism works, but the difference between someone who cares about what they are doing and someone rifling through your pockets is glaringly obvious. Many of you will disagree, but let’s take a peek back in time. We’ll begin with X-Men.

Watch out, Will Smith! Longtime Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek rapped the lyrics to the popular Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song during the game show on Monday, June 29, and naturally, the moment has gone viral. A contestant named Brandon decided to go for the "TV for $800" category. "In the theme to this '90s sitcom," Trebek read aloud, before transitioning his intonation to mimic the original Smith-rapped theme song. "'I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, Yo, homes, [...]...

Now, this is a story all about how, you found out how much older the cast is now, and we'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, and we'll look back at the prince of a town called Bel-Air... Fans of the iconic '90s sitcom Fresh Prince of Bel-Air remember Uncle Phil (James Avery) as the head honcho, the man of the family, the big kahuna. Well, how about a little fun and super nostalgic fact for you? Will Smith is now older than Avery was when the TV series began. Mindblown. Avery was 45 years old when the first episode aired in 1990, and come September, Smith will be ringing in his 47th birthday. Where does the time go?! But why stop there? Let's discuss the ages (and make you feel old...

Way to make Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff proud! Jesse and Melissa Meeks didn't announce their pregnancy news with the basic "We're having a baby" Facebook post. Instead, this Oregon couple rapped their exciting news—to the tune of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song! Earlier this month, the Meeks posted their clever, hip-hop announcement to YouTube so that friends and family outside the Happy Valley area could see it. It started to get pickup, and before the future mom and dad knew it, they'd gone viral! "It was completely unexpected. Like, that was the last thing we thought would happen, that it would blow up to what it had, or what it has," Melissa told Fox...

One of the most glaring cast changes in television history, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air‘s replacement of Janet Hubert with Daphne Maxwell Reid in season four wasn’t just an awkward transition to a new actress playing Vivian – it was a moment that fundamentally changed Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as a show… and not for the better. When talking about Fresh Prince, it’s very much a show of two distinct eras: The Era of Vivian, and the much less entertaining Age of New Vivian. So what went wrong? Off-screen, the details have been well-noted: Hubert and Will Smith just didn’t work together well, which led to her firing and eventual replacement at the beginning of season four. Unfortunately for Fresh Prince, it took the show’s best character along with it: the show’s strong matriarchal center, a woman who wasn’t just a mother and professor, but...

Todrick Hall has made a name for himself online, where his elaborate musical creations regularly draw millions of views. Hall's videos are like nothing else on YouTube, and he has now been given an opportunity to go behind-the-scenes with a new TV program. Hall is the star of Todrick, an upcoming MTV series that will look at the creative process behind his intricately choreographed music videos. Hall's YouTube channel brings a hip-hop sensibility to classic musical numbers from the stage and screen. His videos are led by ensemble casts, who often portray parody versions of pop culture figures or well-known fictional characters. For example, one of Hall's most recent videos imagines what would happen if pop stars like Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, and Rihanna sang and danced the "Cell Block Tango" from Chicago. In Todrick, Hall will give viewer a look inside these videos and will explain the creative process behind them.

Life is different when your dad is Will Smith. For instance, if your dad showed up to a pool party where you were working, took off his shirt, and began rapping about his old coworkers, you would likely be very embarrassed. But for Trey Smith, eldest son of Will, that exact scenario did not cause him to storm away ashamed, or even unfriend his father in protest. Instead, he seemed to dig it. Trey, who spins under the name DJ AcE, was working an event at The Palms alongside his father's former partner DJ Jazzy Jeff. Undoubtedly remembering his own time working with Jeff,...

She also released an Ep earlier this year.Ali was hardly the only one to some some skin at the show, where Keke Palmer arrived without any underwear on ... and stars like Ashanti and Kenya Moore flaunted their "girls" as well.

DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince’s “Summertime” is a ridiculously obvious choice for a summertime jam, but that’s not really an issue as far as I’m concerned. Summer jams are about sharing moments with the people around you and basking in pure, unexamined pop pleasure. Overthinking things runs counter to the whole concept, as do the kind of status anxieties that often lie behind the desire to show off one’s knowledge of obscure music or ability to think outside the box.
“Summertime” is an obvious choice in the same way that margaritas are an obvious choice...
