Let's be honest, there are very few amongst who haven't rapped the entire Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song after three or more vinos, so it's no surprise that the internet is blowing UP after The Lonely Island paid tribute to Will Smith at this year's MTV Movie Awards.

Performing a medley of Mr. Smith's biggest hits which included Men in BlackSummertimeGettin' Jiggy Wit It,  Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer gave the entire world what they didn't know they really, really wanted.

The incredible intro which paid tribute to the actor and musician who was honoured with the Generation Award during this year's ceremony was the ultimate throwback to the 90s, and we still can't get enough!

From their lame-ass dungarees to their oh-so 90s patterned shirts, this video is EVERYTHING to anyone who grew up worshipping the wonderful Will.

Will Smith has been smashing it lately, announcing he might be doing a world tour album, on top of starring in the highly anticipated Suicide Squad (which we can't wait for).

But today, Will shared even bigger news that's going to make a lot of people happy.

In an interview with Radio 1Xtra, Will admitted a Bad Boys sequel is in the works.

He said, "I saw Martin a few weeks ago and I hadn’t seen him for about two years and we just looked at each other.

"We hugged and in that moment, we both knew we were making another Bad Boys. We’re definitely doing another one."

YAAASS!

The first instalment of Bad Boys debuted in 1995, and then 13 years ago Bad Boys II hit our screens.

But we say the next one is going to be sooo much better.

Since the Oscar nominations were announced, there was a lot of controversy surrounding them, especially with Jada Pinkett Smith.

Will Smith's wife made a public video about how she wants fellow actors to boycott the award show, since her husband, and other black actors got overlooked in the nominations. 

Some thought she was right to voice her views, and others thought she was wrong. Will's ex Fresh Prince co-star, Janet Hubert, even made another video to say what she felt about Jada's views. 

But now, Will Smith himself has stepped up and revealed what he really thinks. 

"I was knocked over. I was happy to be married to that woman but I appreciated the push," he told Robin Roberts on Good Morning America.

"There's a position that we hold in this community and, if were not a part of the solution, we're a part of the problem."

And even though the Oscars president said she was disappointed in the outcome, Will said that he still won't be attending the show. 

"My wife's not going. It would be awkward to show up with Charlize Theron. We've discussed it and we're part of this community, but at this current time, we're uncomfortable to stand there and say, 'This is OK.'" 

Do you think he's making a mistake?

In what will probably be one of the best movies this year, Warner Bros and DC Comics have released the second official trailer for Suicide Squad.

The first one debuted at the San Diego Comic Con last July, and now six months later, we get a sneak peak to what the story, and the characters are all about.

Prepare for some bad-ass acting by Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Cara Delevinge, as this is one movie that is not to be missed. 

Sooo… Should we buy are tickets already?

After her outburst during the week, Jada Pinkett Smith has thanked Oscars president Cheryl Boone Isaacs. 

The president of the awards admitted to being "heartbroken and frustrated" by the all-white nominations, which were announced this week. 

Jada made a very public video and promised to boycott the award show next month, but Cheryl had a very quick response and insisted that the organisation is going up for a review. 

Mrs Pinkett Smith then took to social media saying: "I would like to express my gratitude to the Academy, specifically Cheryl Boone Isaacs, for such a quick response in regard to the issue at hand. I look forward to the future."

Jada's husband, Will Smith was hoping for a nomination for his role in Concussion, but didn't make the final five. Will's ex-co-star, Janet Hubert, who played Aunt Viv in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, also spoke out yesterday about Jada's public video.

During the week, Jada Pinkett Smith delivered a rather powerful message about no black people being nominated for the Oscars.

Will Smith was overlooked for his role in Concussion, and since the nominations were announced, Jada wants to boycott the awards ceremony. 

In the video, which was posted by TMZ, Jada says, "Maybe it's time we pull back our resources and we put them back into our communities, and we make programmes for ourselves that acknowledge us in ways that we see fit, that are just as good as the so-called mainstream."

She also made it clear that she won't be attending the Oscars this year.

But now, Will's former co-star, Janet Hubert, who was the original Aunt Viv on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, has ripped into Jada, saying that she is a sore loser. 

"First of all, Miss Thang, does your man not have a mouth of his own with which to speak," Janet said. 

She then goes on to say that there are worse things happening in the world: "People are trying to pay bills and you talking about some motherf***ing actors and Oscars."

You really have to watch the video to believe it.

He's been married to Jada Pinkett Smith for twenty years, and Will Smith has finally revealed the secret to a happy relationship.

Unfortunately, it's a little less romantic than you might think. Speaking at the LA premiere of his film Concussion this week, the actor said the main thing keeping his marriage going strong was his and Jada's insistence on "not quitting."

And indeed, the 47-year-old star admits his two decades of marriage haven't always been easy.

"It’s like our marriage was the most difficult, gruelling, excruciating thing that we have ever taken on in our lives. And you know we're just not quitters."

While many long-term couples would say teamwork is important in a relationship, Will seems inclined to disagree.

"I would say is that we never went into working on our relationship.

"We only ever worked on ourselves individually, and then presented ourselves to one another better than we were previously."

Over the last few years the couple, who have 17-year-old son Jaden and 15-year-old daughter Willow together, have been plagued by divorce rumours.

However they've always insisted they're as strong as ever – with Will even taking to Facebook earlier this year to put an end to the speculation.

"So, in the interest of redundant, repetitious, over & over-again-ness… Jada and I are…NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he wrote.

"I promise you all – if I ever decide to divorce my Queen – I SWEAR I'll tell you myself."

Their approach to marriage might be a little unorthodox, but twenty years on it still seems to be working for this pair.

Willow Smith turned 15 over the weekend, and her famous dad couldn't resist a little Facebook shout-out.

As the daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow has lived her whole life in the spotlight, but her dad's message yesterday shows that underneath it all she's just a normal teen.

"Happy Birthday, my Bean. 15 years old today!!" the actor wrote on his personal page. 

Happy Birthday, my Bean. 15 years old today!! When you were born it took about 2 seconds to realize that I was willing…

"When you were born it took about 2 seconds to realise that I was willing to die for you.

Thank you for correcting my heart – and teaching me how to love without constriction or condition." The message was accompanied by a gorgeous throwback snap of Will and little Willow.

Will is clearly a fan of celebrating birthdays via Facebook – back in September he did some "birthday math" for his wife of 15 years:

This was taken at your mom's house 20 years ago. That's a long time ago!!! So I decided to do some math… I have sung…

Having found fame aged just 11 with her song Whip My Hair, Willow became something of a child star, but she has bowed out of the limelight more in recent years.

"She’s really just developing herself… She’s taking her time to develop her skills, so when she feels like people are ready to know the real Willow, then she will make a comeback," her dad said recently.

Back in 2012, Will came under fire for revealing his son had asked for emancipation from his parents for his 15th birthday.

However in a later interview on The Ellen Degeneres Show, Will insisted his comments had been a "joke," adding, "My baby boy, he's never leaving me, ever. No emancipation for the Smith kids."

As for Jaden, he joked that his dad wouldn't allow him to move out until "'I have a movie that's bigger than one of his movies."

Will Smith has revealed today that he is returning to music and already has a new album in the works!

Speaking on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show, he said that he's got about 30 new songs recorded.

"I have six or seven that I really like, that I'm trying to get the ideas to come out right."

Mr Smith said that after a decade of no music, he's going to be in the studio everyday, recording and working with an assortment of collaborators to find his voice. 

"I have so many things that I want to say and I'm struggling with saying them in a way that fit the flavour of music that I tend to like."

Later in the show, the 47-year-old teased plans of a world tour next summer, along with his longtime collaborator, DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Nearly 30 years after DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince released the triple platinum He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper in 1988, this would be the first full tour for the duo, and Will admits he's "terrified" over the prospect. 

"I was always making a movie, so we've never actually done a full tour. So I'm looking this summer to be the first time that we go out on a full world tour."

We have been big fans of Will Smith for some time now, he kind of won us over way back when he was still the Fresh Prince and parachte pants were a definite trend. 

People all over the internet feel even more in love with him this week however when he took to social media to post a very sweet tribute to his wife Jada on her birthday. 

He shared a very cute throwback snap of the pair as she turned 44 and the caption that came with it made people melt instantly:

“This was taken at your mom’s house 20 years ago. That’s a long time ago!!! So I decided to do some math… I have sung happy birthday to you 20 times and I have bought you 19 birthday presents (I was mad that one year).

“I have watched you blow out 693 candles (737 after tonite). I’ve told you “I love you” at least 8,285 times. And of the nearly 3.96 billion women on the planet – there is only one that I want to spend the rest of my life with.”

The pair have been married since 1997 and have to kids, Willow and Jaden. 

Of late the duo have been hit by many claims that their marriage is headed for divorce. In August Will announced to the public with a special message that he and Jada were not going to be separating and that the pair were sick of the speculation surrounding their family:

Under normal circumstances, I don't usually respond to foolishness. (Because it's contagious) But, so many people have…

At 17, Jaden Smith already has a solid  acting career carved out, as well as success in the worlds of music and even clothing design. 

Given that the teen reportedly even sought emancipation from his parents Will and Jada Pinkett Smith aged just 15, it's clear he is no normal teen. But we were still just a little taken aback when we heard who the young rapper was currently dating.

Jaden was first linked to 21-year-old model Sarah Snyder in the early summer months, but yesterday the pair confirmed their relationship when they were pictured kissing at two separate NYFW events.

The couple were first papped looking intimate at the Gypsy Sport SS16 show at Milk Studios, before talking a romantic walk around Manhattan together.

Despite their four year age gap, the couple seemed comfortable in each other's company, with Sarah leaning in to her man for a cuddle during the show.

Later they were seen kissing again in full view of paparazzi cameras.

Prior to meeting Sarah, Jaden was linked to Hunger Games actress Amanda Stenberg, who at 16 is a lot closer in age.

The pair attended Amanda's prom together back in May, but haven't been seen together since.

As for Jaden's little sister Willow, she made headlines for all the wrong reasons last year when she was pictured lying on a bed with 20-year-old Hannah Montana actor Ray Moises.

Ray's shirtless chest and the pair's intimate position was not well received in the media, who said it was far too mature a setting for a 13-year-old to be seen in.
