We knew West Philadelphia was where he was born and raised but was it actually JAIL where he spent most of his days??
Will Smith is a genius, an icon, a legend, and a family man!! He is perfection!
Or so we thought…
In 1989, he was arrested and charged with "aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, simple assault and criminal conspiracy."
Just a few days after winning a Grammy for his amazeballs collaboration with DJ Jazzy Jeff, the Fresh Prince's bodyguard brutally beat William Hendricks, a record promoter, so badly that it nearly left him blind!!
While Will watched on!!
What the heck!? That's not the Big Willie we thought we knew!!
Because Men In Black 3 just made $18 million Friday night, and with Wednesday night's stellar sales, this pretty much confirms their speculated track to rake in $80 million over the holiday weekend.
Meanwhile, Iron Man and the gang will still make somewhere around
After spending a month on top, it looks like Joss Whedon’sAvengers will pass the top-earner torch to a trio of more inconspicuously dressed galaxy defenders.
Men in Black 3 is expected to earn around $100 million this weekend, and that would almost assuredly dethrone Robert Downey Jr. and his Super Friends.
Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, and newcomer Josh Brolin should all be very proud — there aren’t too many big budget franchises that can take a decade long break between sequels and still find great success.

The We Can’t Stop singer interviewed with Rolling Stone magazine for their July 4th issue, and revealed her fairly liberal thoughts on drugs and alcohol.
Given her stoner reputation, we’re not totally surprised. Though, when asked to clarify her penchant for weed, she said:
"You can't ask someone that and expect them to say yes... I did a song with Snoop Dogg called 'Ashtrays and Heartbreaks,' so people can put it together for themselves."
