Will Smith, Tatyana Ali perform viral 'Anxiety'/'Fresh Prince' dance with help from special guest
The former co-stars, who played Will and Ashley respectively on the '90s sitcom, reunited to perform the viral social media dance to Grammy award-winning rapper Doechii's song "Anxiety" with the "Denial is a River" hitmaker herself. Smith posted the viral video on his Instagram page Thursday.
The dance trend, which has taken over TikTok recently, features Ali donning headphones as she dances alone in her room before Smith imitates her from behind. The original clip is from the show's 1990 pilot episode.
"Waited 35 years for this dance to trend," Smith captioned the post. Smith's son Jaden commented, "Dad you gotta tell me what's happening in the crib so I can fly home bro."
More news on Will Smith: Smith announces first album since 2005, previewing pivot back to music
Earlier this month, on March 5, Smith shared the video writing, "I've been watching y'all and every video has been better than the last!! Love that track @Doechii. @Tatyana Ali remember this?" seemingly dropping an easter egg to fans about their reunion.
The "Anxiety" trend is right on time for Smith, who is returning to his musical roots. The "Pursuit of Happyness" actor announced a brand-new album in January. "Based on a True Story," set to be released March 28, marks Smith's first full studio project since 2005's "Lost and Found."
On Friday, he shared the album cover art on social media.
Smith has been soft-launching his return for nearly a year, releasing several singles with high-profile collaborators. The album will include those tracks − "You Can Make it," "Work of Art" and "Tantrum" − made alongside rappers Russ and Joyner Lucas and Smith's son Jaden.
"Based on a True Story" marks a return to public life for the Oscar-winning actor whose slap of Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards ceremony seemingly derailed his career.

Plane passenger tries to outsmart airline's luggage rule by doing the unthinkable with her suitcase: ‘She's so real for that'
They told her to check the bag — she checked them instead. A fierce flyer is going viral for muscling her suitcase into a carry-on sizer at a European airport — leaving airline staff stunned when the bag actually fit. The shove came courtesy of TikTok user Arina (@summermken_official), who posted a video of herself forcefully wedging her luggage into a metal bag checker at the Vueling counter during a recent flight from Paris to London. 'Never give up, at least not on the sake of €200,' she wrote in the caption — and the internet agreed. The clip has racked up more than 10 million views since it was posted July 22. 'They asked me to place my bag in the checker to confirm it met size requirements,' Arina told Newsweek. 'It seemed that they were just suspicious of the size of my bag since it didn't seem like carry-on luggage.' The Spanish low-cost carrier, like many budget airlines, has earned a reputation for eagle-eyed enforcement of size rules — and for slapping on sky-high baggage fees. Vueling charges up to 88 euros (about $96) at the airport if your bag doesn't fit its requirements. 'I was 100% sure that it would fit […] plus I measured it before buying and it fit the standards of the company,' she told the outlet. What followed was a now-iconic suitcase showdown: Arina is seen in the clip straining to push her bag into the checker — and then yanking it out with just as much effort. The Vueling employee? Gobsmacked. 'She seemed quite surprised that the suitcase actually fit,' Arina said. 'She said, with genuine shock, that I must be very strong… she clearly didn't expect it to fit at all.' TikTokers applauded her persistence — and side-eyed the airline. 'Her face, that's 'I told you' face,' wrote one viewer in the comments section. 'She's so real for that,' another chimed in. 'Bro that's small carry-on too, I hate airlines,' added an additional user. As previously reported by The Post, one Ryanair passenger broke down in tears this week at Sofia Airport in Bulgaria after being denied boarding when her bag wouldn't fit the airline's size limits. Despite shoving it into the sizer, she refused to pay extra, pleaded with border police, and ultimately collapsed to her knees sobbing as staff looked on. Overall, when it comes to budget flights, it's bend or break — and these women did both. Solve the daily Crossword

This TikToker is trying to hit every McDonald's in the U.S. and rate them all
How many McDonald's locations do you think you've been to across the U.S.? Ten, maybe twenty? One TikTok creator is aiming to hit all 13,589 of them. Posting under the handle @donnyboys10, the creator kicked off the challenge last July and has since visited 275 locations across the country, including stops in Chicago, California, Oregon, and Arizona. Each McDonald's gets its own rating out of 10, complete with a short review and a tour of the facilities. And not every location is up to par. The Hollywood Boulevard location in Los Angeles came in at just 3 out of 10. The TikToker wrote: 'This very famous iconic location was absolute shambles.' The main complaints were the bathrooms, as well as the food being overpriced. 'I almost didn't even want to pay for it.' The Encinitas location however, scored a solid 9. 'Everything was available. Everything was clean,' he wrote. Even the bathrooms were 'super luxurious.' Throughout the challenge, @donnyboys10 has built an impressive following of over 128,000, with several videos racking up millions of views. In the comments, fans request to be tagged when he eventually reviews their local McDonald's. 'Im a day one, respect for you man',' one user commented. 'Bro is slowly getting closer to my McDonald's,' another wrote. According to the Daily Dot, @donnyboys10 averages 60 to 90 McDonald's visits a month. At that pace, it would take him about 15 years to visit every single McDonald's in the U.S. (assuming no new locations open in that time). When Fast Company spoke to @donnyboys10 over email, he was more optimistic. He estimated the challenge would take about 9 years to complete. For now, he's juggling his nationwide McDonald's tour with a part-time job and pursuing his bachelor's degree, which slows him down. 'At the start there was one other person involved and we did it together,' he tells Fast Company. 'As the challenge got harder and we needed to visit locations farther from where we were from, he stepped back and left the challenge to only me.' But that hasn't stopped him. 'I wanted to start this not only so I could go to McDonald's,' he explained. 'I try to pick places that I genuinely want to travel to. Besides going to every McDonald's in the US, it has always been my dream to go to every city in the United States.' Fans can donate to help cover the costs—or buy him a Happy Meal—via a GoFundMe linked in his bio. His favorite location so far? The famous blue McDonald's in Sedona, Arizona, where the traditional golden arches are painted to match the skyline and preserve the area's natural beauty. The worst? 'Between third and Pine in Seattle or most McDonald's in downtown Portland.'

This Woman's Mexico Facelift Has Results So Shocking, It Has Left Over 125 Million People Completely Flabbergasted
A few weeks ago, a woman named Michelle Wood began documenting her facelift journey in Guadalajara, Mexico. Her series of videos have been going viral on TikTok, with her first one accumulating well over 21 million views. She begins, "I am down here to look more refreshed and feel more refreshed. I am 50 years old, almost 51. I decided to get a full facelift, forehead lift, upper bleph, lower bleph, and lip lift, as well as a mini chin implant to help my profile. The forehead lift is really to address my uneven brows..." You can read the specifics about each procedure Michelle had done below: 📍Facelift 📍Forehead Lift (also called a brow lift) 📍Upper Blepharoplasty 📍Lower Blepharoplasty 📍Lip Lift 📍Mini Chin Implant Michelle goes on to talk about how her surgeon is Dr. Maribel Belmontes Castillo. "The people of Guadalajara are so friendly. And I hope to bring you along with my journey and let you see the good, the bad, the ugly. I chose this surgeon based on reviews. She's very, very conservative in her approach. I did not want to look 20. I just want to look like I slept for 30 years. So I've lost 130 pounds twice in my life, and I think it's just done a number on my skin, particularly my neck. I'm a single mom to two kids that are 17 and a half, and I am choosing to do this for me, and everybody is fully supportive," she concludes, and shows some photos of the hospital. @michellewood165 / She shared this photo of herself a day after her procedures: Right away, people said they could see immediate results: Related: And on day three she admited that she felt like a Bratz Doll, although she did say she "turned a corner" and was feeling better. Again, people were quick to express just how much younger they thought Michelle looked: Here is Michelle on day five. "I think the hardest part that no one tells you about is that it is hard to just sit still and do nothing. Like, it really is. I think as adults we are on the go so much in our lives, but to just sit still and not move for 10 days is tough — really tough," she expressed. At this point people were claiming it was the best facial work they'd ever seen done: Here are some closeups of the incisions that were made: @michellewood165 / Related: And these are Michelle's results 10 days post op: Clearly, everyone was thinking the same thing at this point: On day 15, Michelle was still in Guadalajara and still a bit swollen and tired, but overall, she said she was doing very well. Related: After a few weeks, Michelle returned to the US and, as the days went on, each video she posted continued to rack up hundreds of thousands of views with people genuinely in awe of the results. Most of the swelling was down by day 24, when Michelle broke down the cost. It converts to about $14,000 for all six procedures and an additional $1,000 for the recovery home that included food, transportation to and from appointments, and 24/7 nursing care. Michelle didn't specify how long she was in the recovery home, but judging from the dates on her videos, she appeared to be there for two to three weeks. To compare these prices to those in the US, Michelle saved TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. Here is an example of a pricing structure breakdown in America: The following price estimates are JUST the surgeon's fees without necessary add-ons (like anesthesia and facility fees) you would also have to pay: 📍The price range for a full facelift obviously varies by region, but it is typically priced between $7,000–$20,000, with Beverly Hills or "celebrity‑level" cases reaching a whopping $500K+!!! 📍The national average for a forehead lift is around $3,900–$7,600, and can be up to $9,000+ in Los Angeles. 📍The national average for upper bleph eyelid surgery is about $4,950, with upper lid procedures typically ranging between $3,500–$4,500. In LA, people report the cost being $12,000 with local and general anesthesia! 📍Lower bleph is generally around $4,000. 📍Lip lift can vary significantly, from $1,500 up to over $8,000. 📍A mini chin implant can range from $2,200 to 17,000. Michelle also shared that she felt comfortable getting the surgeries done out of the country because she had a good experience getting skin removal surgery in Mexico before. She also said she found Dr. Maribel Belmontes Castillo through her own research, and vetting reviews from others. Michelle is currently a couple of months post op, so here are some before and after photos to give you an idea of what she is looking like now: BEFORE: Related: AFTER: @michellewood165 / BEFORE: AFTER: @michellewood165 / You can follow Michelle's journey on TikTok to see more progress!
