Few sitcoms can boast the enduring impact that ‘The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air’ has.

Originally broadcast from 1990-1996, the Will Smith series resonated with millions during its initial run and after – thanks thanks to global re-runs that are still showing today.

As such, any collective sighting of the much loved Banks family grabs headlines.

Such is the case today, after Alfonso Riberio (Carlton) shared a shot of himself with surviving cast-mates Smith, Tatyana Ali (Ashley), Karyn Parsons (Hillary), Daphne Maxwell Reid (the 2nd Aunt Viv), and Joseph Marcell (Jeffrey). James Avery, who played Uncle Phil, sadly passed away in 2013.

Trey Songz’ 7th album, ‘Tremaine’ (released March 24th), zoomed to #2 on iTunes top 100 albums chart within hours of its release.  Granted, some of the set’s highlights like ‘Animal,’ ‘Song Goes Off,’ and ‘Nobody Else But You’ deserve some credit for their role in assisting, but the feat is undoubtedly due in greater part to his aggressive promo schedule.

Touching both sides of the pond in just a matter of days, Songz’ has hit GQ, Hot 97, Beats Radio 1, BET, and, of course, his now infamous Breakfast Club interview, all in support of the new LP.

But throughout his quarter century career, Pharrell’s personal life and upbringing in Virginia Beach has always been a mystery of some sort.

That’s all set to change soon, though. Because the 43 year-old has reunited with FOX, the studio he worked with on the Oscar-nominated ‘Hidden Figures,‘ for a film based on his childhood.

Since the LP’s roll-out,  Legend more omnipresent than ever. Indeed, there’s been the high profile performances, lucrative synch deals for a number of songs from the project, and a sizeable role in box office blockbuster ‘La La Land.’
