Yes he has: Ali. 'Training Day' was a great movie but Will's performance deserved that Oscar. Congratulations! We're still waiting for your reply in this thread dedicated to you tho' :lolsign: http://www.jazzyjefffreshprince.com/forum/...showtopic=12351

IMDb: Metacritic: Rotten Tomatoes: Awesome...

Quick question for those who have seen the movie: "Is 'TDK' a masterpiece?"

Saw the movie yesterday. Will's worst movie since Men In Black II, which means I, Robot is even better IMO. I'm not saying Hancock sucks. It's just that the way they wanted to tell us the story is disappointing. Funny and entertaining, of course, but disappointing. Apart from that, I'm sure it could have been a lot better if they hadn't tried to get the PG-13 rating. What could have been a great movie is just a good movie in its first half and a very bad movie in its second half. I know many people will disagree but it's what I think. Will's performance is outstanding. If it wasn't for him, this movie would be nothing. He's an actor so talented that has the ability to make people laugh and cry . Performances like this are the reason why he is the biggest star in the world.

Video: Catch 21 - Alfonso Ribeiro http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=85pl1_49Kyc&hl=es

moviehole.net says this is not true... http://www.jazzyjefffreshprince.com/forum/...showtopic=12391

Roger Friedman mentioned today that “[Tom] Cruise is probably not going to be playing the role of Edwin A. Salt, a fictional CIA officer who is outed as a spy” in Phil Noyce’s “Edwin A. Salt”. Says the author, it’s over money. “Apparently, Tom is unaware of the change in his status in the Hollywood community. Where once he was the top-paid star, Cruise now is in a position where a $20 million salary is not possible. I’m told an internal memo went around among the film’s producers and top creators in which the Cruise situation was discussed and names were gathered for a replacement.” Friedman adds that Will Smith will likely replace Cruise. Thing is, this isn’t true. We can confirm that this isn’t true - none of it. High-ranking contacts within the production tell us - and we quote - “The studio, producers,director and potential star (Cruise) are all waiting on a rewrite of the script from Kurt Wimmer,which is due in a few weeks. Will Smith has not been approached to star. Cruise is the only actor who has been approached.” Cruise is still very much set for “Edwin A. Salt”. http://www.moviehole.net/2008/07/18/cruise...rumours-untrue/

The ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ star dishes on his new game show and the ghost of Carlton Banks By Charreah Jackson Starring alongside Will Smith, Alfonso Ribeiro somehow made it cool to be the uncoolest man in the room on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” Child stars should take notes from the actor, singer, dancer and game-show host who continues to stay relevant. At age 12, Ribeiro moonwalked his way to a plum role alongside Michael Jackson in a 1983 Pepsi commercial, battling the King of Pop with Jackson’s own dance moves, and he has never looked back. Now 36, the performer has continued to be a small screen favorite. Perhaps you remember him as the thorn in LL Cool J’s side on “In the House,” or that he was the winner of FOX’s “Celebrity Duets” in 2006. The New York native’s latest gig is host of GSN’s (Game Show Network) new “Catch 21,” which premieres July 21. Ribeiro chatted with ESSENCE.COM about his new show, his first impression of Michael Jackson, upcoming projects with Will Smith, and how playing Carlton Banks was a blessing and a curse. ESSENCE.COM: Congrats on your new game show, ‘Catch 21,’ which you host. How has the experience been? ALFONSO RIBEIRO: The show is a lot of fun, combining the popularity of game shows with pop trivia. I think right now I’ve become a personality and not just an actor. I do feel like one of the luckiest people in the world to be able to do what you want to do, and make a living, and I work hard. I’m hoping that people fall in love with “Catch 21” and that the show continues for many years. ESSENCE.COM: It’s great to see your career has continued to blossom after such a huge success with “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.’ Is it hard to move on from the role of Carlton Banks in your career? I’m sure people still ask you to do the dance (laughs). RIBEIRO: (Laughs) It is what it is. We had an opportunity to make six seasons of great shows that I think were wonderful. I just know that, when I go out at some point, I’m going to be asked to do that dance and I have to live with it. It’s very funny, because in the script, it just said Carlton dances. So in rehearsal I was on stage thinking, ‘Okay, how will Carlton dance? What will be the dance that he would do?’ I stole that dance. It wasn’t an original. ESSENCE.COM: Unfortunately, with such a signature role, a lot of actors sometimes get typecast. Did you experience that with Carlton after the show? RIBEIRO: Of course. There’s no question that I’ve been stereotyped, but that meant I did something well enough for people to want to see more of it. It’s a compliment while it’s detrimental to your career. But I only do things that I want to do, and I did “In the House,” which was very similar to Carlton, and then I felt like I had exhausted that role. So there was no reason for me to continue to put new names on the same character. ESSENCE.COM: After working so closely with Will Smith, how has your relationship been after the show? RIBEIRO: Will has been so incredible and just so gracious with me after the show. Right now I’m in the process of creating a show with his company, which would be very different from any of the things that I’ve played before. Will gave me an opportunity to direct for “All of Us.” We still hang out, go on vacation, and have a great time together. The one thing that is clear is that he’s probably the hardest working person I’ve ever met. So he is not the biggest star in the world because things just happened that way, he’s the biggest star in the world because he worked very hard to achieve that and he deserves all he has achieved. ESSENCE.COM: You lived every 80s baby’s dream—to work with Michael Jackson. How did you end up in that famous 1983 Pepsi commercial? RIBEIRO: It was like a dream come true for a young performer. As a 12-year-old kid, I was a huge fan of Michael. Michael’s choreographer was directing a commercial I was in and saw me playing around on the set doing the dance and they gave me that opportunity. I met Michael in rehearsal. It was really cool to work with him. My dad and I hung out with him many times after that, but that was the first time I met him. ESSENCE.COM: Wow! Handpicked to dance with Michael Jackson… RIBEIRO: I’m certainly not a professional. I’m one of those people who, if I look at someone doing it, I can mimic it really well, which is what I did with Michael. I actually couldn’t do “Dancing with the Stars” because they said I have so much experience, which I really don’t because I never trained professionally. It’s just very interesting to me that I’m almost known for being a dancer and I was never a real dancer. ESSENCE.COM: What have you learned from your career? RIBEIRO: To never judge a book by its cover and don’t look back, look forward. Then find something that you want to do and spend your life doing it. ESSENCE.COM: What is the craziest rumor you’ve ever heard about yourself? RIBEIRO: I think the craziest rumor was that I broke my neck doing a head spin back in 1984. As I’m walking down the street in New York, some guy walked up to me and goes, “Hey man! What are you doing alive? You’re supposed to be dead.” So that was a little crazy. ESSENCE.COM: You won “Celebrity Duets” in 2006 and sang on “Fresh Prince.” Have you considered singing professionally? RIBEIRO: The biggest problem with music today is that there are not a lot of great singers. It’s really about an image, a look and a style, and not one that I really match up with. You look at these guys like Mario or Chris Brown—that’s not the audience that I’m going to have based on my past career. It’s not really what I see myself doing. I love singing and I love getting up on stage. I would rather do more of the classical Sammy Davis, Jr., stuff. I would maybe want to go and do Vegas. ESSENCE.COM: And what do you hope the Alfonso Ribeiro legacy will be? RIBEIRO: My legacy is a huge question mark because I don’t really care what other people think of me. I do this because I love to do it, and trust me, I have been offered a lot of work over the last five years that I have turned down. I really feel like it’s important to do good work because it’s for me. http://www.essence.com/essence/themix/ente...1823808,00.html

Hollywood’s happiest couple Will Smith (39) and Jada Pinkett (36) are the happiest couple in Hollywood. The “Hancock” star (39) and Jada Pinkett (36) have been married for ten years but were still spied making out like teenagers on a family trip to Hawaii. The couple was spotted riding the waves in Hawaii while son Jaden (10) and daughter Willow (7) looked on. They also didn’t seem to mind as their parents' passionately snogged like a couple fresh in love. http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/bild-english/...-on-hawaii.html

'Enemy Of The State' is definitely in my Top 5 Will Smith movies. It's pure entertainment, with good action scenes and, more important, a decent script, something that 'I, Robot' obviously didn't have. Apart from that, a great director like Tony Scott and excellent actors like Gene Hackman or Jon Voight make the movie even better. Jimmy Carter's interview with Will Smith when he was promoting 'Enemy Of The State': http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=a16fMK6GLrw&hl=es

Will Smith may be on top at the box office once again with Hancock, but his longtime friend and former rap partner DJ Jazzy Jeff says the success and fame hasn't gone to the Fresh Prince's head. "He's the biggest movie star on the planet, [but] he's still the same Will – the same good guy," Jazzy Jeff, 43, tells PEOPLE. "He's just a little harder to get in touch with." The "Parents Just Don't Understand" duo recently reunited for an impromptu show at the Hancock premiere in Hollywood. What's the rapper's take on Smith's happy 10-year marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith? "He's a hard worker," Jazzy Jeff said at the 33 Club Party presented by MLB.com at the Roseland Theater in New York on Sunday. "Will works like that at everything. You got to put in hard work to make relationships work and that's what he does with Jada." http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20...ss-topheadlines

Toto - Hold The Line :wickedwisdom:

Yes there is! Not everyone, but there is! Well, there can be exceptions of course, it happens on this site too, but in general I wouldn't say there are many blind fanboys over there. It's just that ws.com has always had a bad reputation, but that doesn't mean you can't find relevant opinions about Will's movies on that site.

You're wrong TD, there are no "blind fanboys" on ws.com either.

Is that clip on youtube somwhere possibly? I uploaded this a few months ago: http://www.jazzyjefffreshprince.com/forum/...showtopic=11822

Good for Trey! :thumbsup:
