Janet Hubert is known as the “blacktress” in these internet streets, but she’s more widely known and adored as Aunt Viv from the classic ’90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. In fact, according to the unwritten and unofficial black culture handbook, Hubert is the only Aunt Viv we recognize. Imma let you finish,…

This world we live in has proved to be ... one strange rock, which is the name of the new National Geographic series that shows us all the wonders of the world. The cherry on top is that we get to learn about these wonders from the authoritative yet soothing voice of Will Smith.

Monday marks day 1,411 since the people of Flint, Mich., had (relatively) clean, safe water running through the pipes in their homes. We are nearly at the four-year mark, and although there has been some change, it has been slow, and the end is still not here. The city doesn’t get as many headlines in the news, at…

Quincy Jones’ recent viral interviews have proved that he’s thoroughly fuck-deprived. And also, to quote the homie Sai Grundy, “the antithesis of Sway”—because while Sway AIN’T GOT THE ANSWERS, Quincy Jones definitely does.

In true dad fashion, Will Smith has found a way to celebrate his son Jaden Smith’s achievements while simultaneously trolling him, and it is beautiful and hilarious to behold.

Bad Boys II is a very good bad movie. Lots of shit blows up and Will Smith wears a fun shade of purple for a meeting to tell Gabrielle Union to fall back. Either way, this movie is forever seared into my memory for one super-memorable scene: Johnny Tapia is trying to move millions of dollars to Cuba and has it stashed…

She ready! In addition to her star turn in last summer’s runaway hit Girls Trip, comedian Tiffany Haddish won the adoration of millions with her now viral appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in July. During her visit, she hilariously recounted taking Will and Jada Pinkett Smith on a swamp tour in New Orleans, using…

My friends and I constantly talk about how we want a bunch of black movies across the spectrum, from romance to science fiction. White actors get all the fun and we get all the supporting (and usually dying) sidekicks.

’Twas the week before Christmas, and stars Will Smith, Joel Edgerton and Noomi Rapace were getting ready to bring explosive action to the world this Friday, Dec. 22, with the Netflix film Bright. In this brand-new featurette, the fearless cast discuss shooting the movie’s mind-blowing action sequences, including an…

Even if the Rock thinks that Tyrese Gibson (and his music) is baby shit, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith are here for the increasingly emotional celeb.

For years, rumors that they’re swingers have circled around the marriage of Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith, and that being in the swinging lifestyle is what has kept their marriage going strong. Finally, Pinkett Smith is speaking about what she refers to as the most absurd rumor of them all.

I've been blessed with many talents.

The worst part about the Colin Kaepernick protest situation isn’t the flagrant hypocrisy, colorism, or the stifling of freedom of speech. It’s something a little more matter of fact. Something that I wasn’t truly aware of until this situation garnered mainstream media attention. Apparently, Colin is not a great…

Who is Janet Hubert?

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air may be my favorite television show of all time. Yes, I liked it even more than The Wire, Law & Order: SVU, and Unsolved Mysteries. I loved A Different World, and liked The Cosby Show Family Matters, but I was all about Fresh Prince.

On Monday night, Lifetime finally debuted their unauthorized Saved By The Bell story largely based on the tell-all book by Dustin Diamond who played Samuel "Screech" Powers on the show. Terrible casting aside (Zach was horribly miscast and AC Slater was just confusing) the movie was at least interesting. It showed…

Look, as optimistic as I want to be about this new treatment for Ebola, we've all seen enough post-apocalyptic horror movies to know how it starts:
