Check out XXL's gallery of rappers before the flashing lights.

Last summer we learned that Joe Carnahan (The Grey, The A-Team) was interested in directing Bad Boys 3, which Sony has scheduled for a 2017 release. He was never officially confirmed for the job, but these new pre-visualization images he shared on Twitter are all the confirmation you need that Carnahan is behind the wheel on the long-developing sequel.

Will Smith will join his wife Jada Pinkett Smith in boycotting the 2016 Oscars.

'There's a regressive slide toward separatism,' Smith lamented in a 'Good Morning America' interview.

The Oscars were already overwhelmingly white; now they’ve gotten even whiter.

Arquette wrote, 'When Jada comes out as gay and her beard husband admits his first marriage ended when she walked in to him…then I will listen to them.'

Janet Hubert, a.k.a. the original Aunt Viv from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, tore into Jada Pinkett-Smith for her boycott of the Academy Awards.

'It was terrible when I found out my character died,' he said.

We've been waiting a long time for this to happen.

Earlier this month, Will Smith grabbed the mic once again after a 10-year hiatus and spit some fresh rhymes on Bomba Estereo’s “Fiesta” remix. Now the Colombian electronica group deliver the video for the remix and it looks like one big dance party.

Back in June we learned that Joe Carnahan (The Grey) is interested in directing Bad Boys 3, and in August it was reported that Sony had officially put the long-awaited sequel on their release calendar for 2017 (along with a spot for Bad Boys 4 in 2019). Not much else has been reported about the third installment in the franchise, but Will Smith himself has officially confirmed that we’ll be seeing Bad Boys 3 very soon.

We're going to party like it's 1989 since Will Smith announced that he's going on tour with DJ Jazzy Jeff next year.

Bomba Estereo's got a brand new 'Fiesta' sound, courtesy of the Fresh Prince.

Warm fuzzies alert! Will Smith delivered the sweetest birthday tribute to his wife Jada Pinkett Smith who turned 44 years old today (Sept. 18). The Hollywood heavyweight went on Facebook and wrote a message that will touch your heart.

Will Smith's newest move 'Concussion' doesn't sit well with the NFL.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are being plagued by divorce rumors -- again. Thankfully, the Hollywood couple are not planning a split anytime soon.

This past weekend at Comic-Con, fans attending the Batman vs. Superman panel were treated to an additional surprise: the entire cast of Suicide Squad appeared on stage (minus Jared Leto) and introduced our first ever look at footage from the upcoming supervillain film. Despite their pleas to not record any of the footage, someone of course did, and it leaked online shortly thereafter in a really crappy quality. Well, director David Ayer and Warner Bros. feel your pain and have decided to do the right thing and just release the whole trailer online.

With Father's Day nearly upon us, we've rounded up a gallery of some of our favorite celeb dads hanging out with their kids.

Former Saints who were punished for bountygate react to deflate gate punishment on twitter.

Alert, alert: Will Smith still has it. The star of the upcoming con man romantic comedy drama (co-ma rom-com-dram?) Focus hit The Late Show last night to chat it up with host David Letterman and, oh, yeah, to just randomly rap “Gettin Jiggy Wit It” alongside Letterman’s own band. Sure, most late night guests just walk out on stage, give a big hello, and sit down, but not Smith, who seemed determined to remind everyone of his rap roots.
