Will Smith’s Former Co-Star Hates His Guts
I’ll admit, Will Smith can get a little irksome. He claimed the next thousand years for himself. He produced a remake of The Karate Kid without Mr. Miyagi. But one Smith project I never get sick of is The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
No matter how many neon over-sized T-shirts he wore, or laugh-shrieks he emitted, I’m on-board. His former co-star Janet Hubert aka Aunt Viv number one, isn’t such a fan of 90s Will.
After some Fresh-Prince reunion pictures were posted… More »

Kim Kardashian’s Pretty Cheap When It Comes to Wedding Favors
With all the money that Kim Kardashian is getting out of her lavish wedding to Kris Humphries, you would think that she could’ve afforded to splurge a little more on the guests’ party favors! Thanks to her public wedding registry, we know that Kim asked her guests for gifts like Hermes porcelain plates ($200+ a pop) and that infamous $7,000 vase. And what did her celebrity attendees get in return? More »
Need Another Reason To Envy The Smith Family? Check Out Their House
In the September issue of Architectural Digest, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith will let the world in on a little secret: their home is ridiculous. Maybe that’s not exactly a revelation, but did anybody (besides their architect, designers, and friends) imagine it would be a magnificent palace? Well, yes, probably. More »
13 Actors Who Could Have Played Iconic Roles
Severus Snape? Alan Rickman. Marty McFly? Michael J. Fox. Vivian Ward? Julia Roberts. We all know and love these characters, and their actors’ portrayals of them were so perfect, it can be hard to imagine anyone else playing them. But guess what? If things had gone a little differently, Alan Rickman might not have landed Snape, Michael J. Fox may not have donned Marty’s orange vest, and Julia Roberts may not have become one of the world’s most well-known prostitutes. That’s right: Each of these characters were originally pitched to different actors, and in some cases, were even recast midway through shooting. What other iconic characters might have ended up being played by totally different actors? Read on to find out! More »
10 Things ‘Independence Day’ Taught Me About Independence Day
Ah, Independence Day: The day on which we burn food items to a crisp, dress in only three colors, and set fire to a bunch of explosives, all in the name of celebrating the day a bunch of long-dead dudes signed a piece of very important paper. Incidentally, it’s also the day on which, in 1996, aliens descended upon the Earth and attempted to destroy it. Happily, they failed, thanks to the ingenuity of a few resourceful humans; and now we can use the day to celebrate not one, but two forms of independence. Hoorah!
I was 11 when Independence Day came out, and as you might imagine, I was a rather impressionable child. It seemed to me that there was more to take away from this Hollywood blockbuster than simple entertainment. I studied it carefully, and under its tutelage, I discovered a number of valuable lessons about the true meaning of this national holiday. In honor of 4th of July weekend, I have decided to share my findings with you, Gentle Readers; here are the 10 things Independence Day taught me about Independence Day: More »
Questionable Choices: Willow Smith’s Heart Hair
Willow Smith may be ten years old, but she is cooler than I will ever be in my entire life. At the BET Awards, Willow showed up rocking a T-shirt with a picture of her dad Will Smith on it, crazy open studded boots, and heart hair. Somewhere, Kingston Rossdale and Zahara Jolie-Pitt are having an exclusive closed-door session to plan a celebrity child outfit that will outdo this. More »
Video: Is Willow Smith Going to Regret This Stuff When She’s Older?
This is a video of Willow Smith behind-the-scenes at the Kids’ Choice Awards. Watching it I can’t help but think of home videos of myself at the age of 10. I had a budding rap career back then myself, you see, and there’s video of me spitting such classics as “A Doubly Dose of Cool TV.” Granted, Willow has songwriters and producers and stylists — whereas I couldn’t be bothered to run a comb through my hair — but videos like this one seem like something she’s going to be embarrassed about in a couple of years.

Celebrity Black Sheep: Siblings Who Refused Fame
Thanks to reality TV and the Internet, more and more we’re seeing not just celebrities, but celebrity families: The Palins, the Lohans, the Osbournes. If you’re related to a semi-famous person, you’re semi-semi-famous by association. Most people gobble up that chance for attention, but it seems that in each of these clans there’s a black sheep — the kid who is too old to care about paparazzi shenanigans, who may enjoy the perks of their siblings’ stardom but don’t feel the need to get arrested or put out a sex tape of their own.

Will Smith’s Huge ‘Men in Black III’ Trailer Evicted from SoHo
Say you’re Will Smith, shooting Men in Black III in downtown New York City. You rent an apartment nearby on Bond Street for $25,000/month, but you’ve decided that you need to set up two massive trailers right on the set: A $9,000/week, 1,150-square-foot one equipped with bar and movie room, and a 55-foot trailer housing your personal gym. The trailers are set upon Broome and Greene streets, less than a mile from your apartment. More »
Interview: ‘M. Night School’ Creator Discusses Trailers, Twists, and Whether He Expects Shyamalan to Actually Go Back to Film School
This past Monday, M. Night School launched: The cheeky website is trying to raise $150,000 through crowdsourcing — asking just a dollar a person — to send M. Night Shyamalan back to film school at NYU. We spoke with the site’s creator, BBDO copywriter Chris Baker (@funkmastabaker), about what he and the other creators will do if they fail to raise the money, what could be responsible for Shyamalan’s creative downslide, and the negative backlash they’ve already received.

Video Face Off: Bruce Springsteen vs. Will Smith Doing ‘Whip My Hair’
Last night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Bruce Springsteen stopped by the set. And if you’re going to have The Boss in studio, what else would you do besides dress your host up as Neil Young for a Whip My Hair duet?
Willow Smith’s first single is so popular that everyone in the world will have covered it by Christmas. Including her dad. Someone has mashed up Will Smith dancing to Whip My Hair in a scene from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Both videos are pretty inspired. Check them out after the jump and let us know which one you like better. More »
Video: Willow Smith’s ‘Whip My Hair’
Presented without comment, Will Smith‘s daughter Willow Smith‘s first single, “Whip My Hair.” Actually wait, one comment: Is preparation for this single what inspired the bevy of strange hairdos this summer? Doesn’t seem to be much to “whip,” there, Willow. Then again, we’re not going to be the jerks that take aim at a 9-year-old just because her single is based on pure nepotism. More »
Video: Jay Pharoah Added to SNL Lineup For More Racially Diverse Cast
Earlier this week we were introduced to 3 new cast members that will be joining Saturday Night Live in the midst of Will Forte (and perhaps others?) departure from the NBC staple. Now there is video of a 4th ringer, the young Jay Pharoah, whose claim to fame so far is doing a pretty good Will Smith and Denzel Washington impression.
So while Keenan Thompson‘s status is up in the air, we hope Jay’s arrival doesn’t mean that Lorne Michaels is axing the only other African-American cast-member More »
