I really don't think there's a need for another thread, the very first post in this thread explains why it's merged like this

hilarious video. Jada's favorite Will joint is Jazzy & the Fresh Prince "Brand New Funk"

I'm surprised it wasn't one of his songs about her

[Michael Jackson Dies At 50]

I started crying when they rolled out his casket and kissed it. Cried off and on throughout then little Paris broke my heart. I was still crying when they took him away and Man in the Mirror was playing w/o him singing. It didn't seem real until now.

[Jada/Fam/Misc]

grow it out Will! grow it out! lol

I don't like that "I am Legend" look on him, he looks old and sick, like he did in the movie when he was supposed to be 51/52 years old.

Okay superficial aside, I love how good he is to his fans.

there's a bunch of behind the scenes videos up at the Hawthorne site, quick flash of Will in the "get to know the Cast" one

Jada says something her fans don't know about her is that she's goofy, she'd have to be to be married to Will

LMAO I just noticed he had on a Carlton shirt!

[Michael Jackson Dies At 50]

Tupac said :

"We look at death from the selfish side, like, "That guy died. Oh, it's so sad." Why is it sad? He's away from all of this bad stuff that's here on Earth. I mean, at the worst, he's just somewhere quiet, no nothing. At best, he's an angel... or he's a spirit somewhere. What is so bad about that?"

I'd never heard this, thanks for posting it, that is an awesome way to look at it.

from Jada's facebook:Be at peace, Michael. Love, Jada.

I can't imagine how people who actually knew him are feeling, if the impact on his fans is so amazing. Some of the celebrity responses are just breaking my heart esp. from Lisa Marie and Liz Taylor.

there's songs and tributes coming out and the BET awards is changing a lot of the show as a dedication to him.

still in shock, even though his music will live on, the world just lost an amazing talent.

Truly wishing you a peaceful rest Michael, and praying for your children.

[Sitcom Saga: TV Mom Claims Will Smith Was No Prince]

I'm so over this, but I really hope that's not her going around all these gossip sites commenting to the posters, b/c if it is it's sad and she's saying a lot of stuff that's untrue

Dear Natalie

please check out my website, we are doing wonderful things for the children. I have two amazing young brothers who work with me creating positive images for children, instead of the current thug images that they are bombarded with.

Dwayne Fergeson, and Vincent Spencer are a part of my wonderful team.

Downloads are there for the children

BTY

I don't see Smith anywhere giving back anything to those upon whose shoulders he has stood.

you must remember to respect those who came before you.

Be blessed

from the bv blog. I hope that's not her b/c that person certainly isn't doing her any favors.

[not Quincy Jones]

i'm sure this doesn't warrant a new thread but whatevs, this has been on my mind since I heard somebody around here say that was Q in the FPOBA opening credits.

KW: Before we start, I hope you could answer this trivia question. I recently

interviewed Rashida Jones and I was asking her about the opening sequence of

every episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Towards the end of the theme

song, when Will gets out of the taxi, I always assumed that the cabdriver was

Quincy Jones. Looks just like him. When I asked Rashida, she said had never

heard that rumor before, and that she didn’t know for sure, but she didn’t think it

was her father. Can you settle the mystery once and for all and tell us whether

that’s Quincy behind the wheel?

JPS: Yes I can. That cabdriver was not Quincy Jones. If I remember correctly,

Will said he was actually somebody from Philly. And it's a cabdriver for sure. I

just can't remember what the story is. But it absolutely is not Quincy Jones.

so there's a bit of trivia for the FPOBA archives. I never thought it was him though, lol.

I think she's only doing it for promotion for the show, on her facebook video she says she's computer illiterate and still has a pager(lmao), so people should be patient with her. I didn't think it was her either b/c she's said before that she's not a computer person.

[Will Smith songs that no one really talks about...]

Y'all named some great songs there, "I Loved You" is such a deep song, "Y'all Know" and "Yes Yes Y'all" got such incredible lyricism, "The Rain" has such real lyrics just like "Tell Me Why", I really like "Afro Angel" too which tells inspiring stories, "Block Party" is a summer anthem, and lately I've been playing "Nothin' On My Mind" a lot, it's such a cool song to groove to

what Ted said. :smile:

I think "Afro Angel" like "Tell Me Why" would've made for great videos, b/c there's so much imagery in the songs. I love the spoken word on AA too.

"Y'all Know" is one of my fave BWS tracks, and Block Party actually puts me in the mind of "Summertime"

[Who is Kel Spencer?]

according to Kel's twitter he'll "feature" in HawthoRNe on July 7. can't wait for the premiere Tuesday. :smile:
