METAL DETECTOR Proclaiming his love of metal on a bright pink shirt, Will Smith pulls his own luggage through Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday. (His wife Jada Pinkett Smith is in the metal band Wicked Wisdom.)

Just a suggestion! :thumbsup:

MTV BackTrack: DJ Jazzy Jeff, The Fresh Prince & Ready Rock C (1988)
Ale replied to Ale's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
Welcome :emot-keke: -
Exactly. That was recorded from TV, so that's why I find it strange. Who knows, maybe they made the video some years later and for that reason we can see clips from tracks included on the 'Code Red' album. :shrug: Anyways I don't think it's official either. It's cool tho'.

TO SOME FANS of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," Janet Hubert will always be the real Aunt Viv. Hubert played Will Smith's classy and well-to-do Aunt Vivian for the first three seasons of the '90s TV sitcom that made Smith, just 22 at the time, into a big star. More than a decade later, "Fresh Prince" is finding a new generation of young fans watching it in syndication on cable's Nick at Nite. Hubert, who lives in North Jersey, said she runs into school-age kids who ask: "When are you going to go back to the show?" , unaware that it hasn't been in production for years. It was a fallout with producers over the show's direction - and not a rift with Smith - that led to her sudden departure, Hubert said. "It was never a firing," Hubert said in a recent telephone interview. "It was a setup. They wanted me to sign a contract for 10 episodes rather than the usual 27, which meant my income, which was not that large in the first place, was cut in half." Rather than try to renegotiate, she says the producers announced she had rejected her contract and they would recast her role. They brought in Daphne Maxwell Reid for the three remaining seasons. At the time, gossip mags and the Hollywood grapevine buzzed that Hubert and Smith had clashed on the set, something Hubert denies. She acknowledges that she did ask him to apologize to castmates if he showed up late for a shooting. "I'm a professional," said Hubert, an alumna of New York's Julliard School. "I believed in being on time." But her major beef with the show was the way the producers diminished the roles of Aunt Viv and Uncle Philip (played by James Avery). Eager to appeal to young audiences, she said, the show followed a TV sitcom pattern of denigrating parental authority. Aunt Viv was a college professor and Uncle Philip was a lawyer, but she said the show rarely gave them scenes befitting their professional status. A scene that escalated her conflict with producers occurred when she was pregnant in real life and writers included the pregnancy in the script. "I remember an episode where they had Will going to the Lamaze classes with me," she recalled. "I wanted to know why Philip wouldn't go with me." She didn't think the scene made sense and she was especially upset when the action called for Smith to suddenly snatch a pillow from beneath her head and give it to Vanessa Williams, causing Aunt Viv's head to fall back hard on the floor. Hubert loudly protested and says she was considered persona non grata from then on. Hubert's break with "Fresh Prince" was a painful period of her life. She had just given birth to her first and only child, Elijah, and her then-husband, writer James Whitten, was unemployed. Despite the lingering wound of what she calls the "public humiliation" of being dropped from "The Fresh Prince," Hubert says she is healing. And she is happy to see how successful Smith - hailed by Forbes magazine as Hollywood's top earner in 2007 - has become. "I wish him nothing but the best," she said. "But I am not surprised. I always knew he would become very large one day." Hubert has kept her foot in TV with guest appearances on series such as "Friends," "The Gilmore Girls" and "The Bernie Mac Show." And she's been working on an animated cartoon series, "J.G. and the B.C. Kids," slated for DVD release. She's shopping the show around to children's TV networks, too. The show is about a young, black female archaeologist who helps a boy named Vinnie learn about dinosaurs and science through the magic of time travel. A line of book bags and other products based on the show's characters will be available at Wal-Mart in time for back-to-school shopping. The cartoon project grew out of her 15-year-old son Elijah's fascination with dinosaurs, beginning when he was 6. "I've been trying to make it happen for nine years, until I finally did it myself. I produced it myself," said Hubert, who collaborated with illustrator Vincent Spencer in the creation of the series. The "J.G." in the title stands for "Janet Granite," a name Elijah and two friends gave Hubert back when she gave presentations about dinosaurs to elementary school classes. The "B.C. Kids" in the title can mean a number of things, Hubert said, including "bright children," "bold and confident" and "beautiful and caring." "My son was my inspiration," Hubert said. "He knew every single dinosaur that there was. We had to get bugs and snakes and every book that existed because he was so driven." She wanted to produce a show starring mostly black children because, she said, it is important for them "to see themselves as smart and excited about science and math." "Our children are being bombarded with thug images," Hubert said. "J.G. and the B.C. Kids" is an antidote, a show about children who are eager to learn, she said. * http://www.philly.com/dailynews/features/2...oon_series.html

Jolie replaces Cruise for Salt Update : Variety has since confirmed our story Moviehole has been informed by an inside source that Angelina Jolie will replace Tom Cruise as the star of ‘'Edwin A. Salt'' - or "Edwina A. Salt'', as the film will now be suitably retitled. The Philip Noyce-directed thriller is set for a February shoot in New York. Rumour has it that Cruise felt the role was a little too similar to that of his ''Mission Impossible'' character - IMF agent Ethan Hunt - and so left the production (He wasn't, contrary to what others say, fired from the production). After her success as an action heroine in films like "Wanted" and "Mr & Mrs Smith", Jolie was snapped up rather quickly for the role (there is no truth to the rumour that Will Smith was asked to replace Cruise first - Smith was never approached). http://www.moviehole.net/200814779-jolie-r...cruise-for-salt

Spielberg no longer directing 'Chicago 7' Thursday, August 7 2008, 19:29 BST By Simon Reynolds, Entertainment Reporter Steve Spielberg will no longer direct The Trial Of The Chicago 7, reports MovieWeb. Sacha Baron Cohen had been persuaded by Spielberg to play political campaigner Abbie Hoffman in the film, which is based around eight Vietnam protesters accused of inciting a riot at the 1968 Democrat party convention. Producer Walter F. Parkes explained that the director had quit the project due to the WGA strike and his commitment to the upcoming Tintin film. "He is not going to do it," Parkes noted. "He kind of had a moment of availability to do it, and the strike got in the way. We were unable to do the script work that Steven felt he needed and then, by the time the strike was over, he had already committed himself to begin production on Tintin. "It's not inconceivable that he would come back, but for now, he's had to move on to Tintin, which is something that he's been working on for 20 years." http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/a120207...-chicago-7.html

While the project was under Brett Ratner's supervision, actors Josh Hartnett, Paul Walker, Matthew Bomer, Brendan Fraser, Ashton Kutcher, David Boreanaz, Ian Somerhalder, Henry Cavill, Jerry O'Connell and Hayden Christensen were considered for the part of Superman. Brett Ratner left the project primarily because he and Warner Bros. executives could not agree on whom to cast as Superman.

Aug 9 2008 10:39 AM EDT Actor was hospitalized for pneumonia last week. By Jem Aswad and Jocelyn Vena Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who worked his way to stardom from humble beginnings on Chicago's tough South Side, died early Saturday at the age of 50, according to The Associated Press. "Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement. She said no other details were available and requested that his family's privacy be respected. Earlier this week she had said reports of Mac's serious illness were overstated and that he was expected to make a full recovery. In recent years, Mac (real name: Bernard Jeffery McCullough) had battled an inflammatory lung disease known as sarcoidosis, which causes inflammation in the lungs, lymph nodes and other organs. It had been in remission since 2005, and Smith had said Mac's pneumonia was not related to it. In addition to his appearance in last year's hit "Transformers," Mac had recently been working on the TV series "Starting Under," as well as several films, including the Samuel L. Jackson flick "Soul Men" (slated for release later this year) and the John Travolta comedy "Old Dogs," which is scheduled for a 2009 release. The status of those films was unclear at press time. Recently Mac made headlines when he attended a Barack Obama fundraiser and made a few lighthearted comments about the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. "I'm proud of him because politics is dirty, especially with Republicans," he said. "People like rumors. They are going to say things like, you know, 'You was in the club with Lil' Kim, and you and Kanye West got in a fistfight.' " The comments garnered a rebuke from Obama's campaign. Mac (Bernard Jeffrey McCullough) was born on October 5, 1957, in Chicago, and grew up on the city's South Side, according to AP. His first standup performance was at a church dinner when he was 8, and he began doing standup at clubs in Chicago at 20. His film career began with a small role in "Mo' Money" in 1992. Mac went on to appear in the "Ocean's 11" films with Brad Pitt and George Clooney, "Guess Who" with Ashton Kutcher, "Bad Santa," "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and other films. Mac is perhaps best known for his Fox television series "The Bernie Mac Show," which aired from 2001 to 2006. The series, about a man's adventures raising his sister's three children, won a Peabody Award in 2002, and earned Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for Mac. He also was nominated for a Grammy award for best comedy album in 2001, with his "The Original Kings of Comedy" co-stars, Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley and Cedric the Entertainer. Mac is survived by his wife, Rhonda McCullough, their daughter, Je'Niece, a son-in-law and a granddaughter. http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1592482/story.jhtml _______________________________________________________________________ Wow. I can't believe it. RIP Bernie :therain:
