Iconic '90s Hip-Hop Duo Performs Together for the First Time in Years
Back like they never left! Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff reunited at the Capital Summertime Ball in London on Sunday, June 15.
Smith, 56, and Jeff, 60, looked straight out of the 90s as they posed together for photos. The pair's last public outing was at the 2023 Grammy Salute to 50 Years of Hip-Hop. They later hit the stage to perform mega hits like the theme song from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
You can check out a video from Capital's official TikTok account below:
Smith and Jeff formed the duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince in the mid-1980s after meeting at a house party in Philadelphia. Come 1987, they released their debut album, Rock the House, which garnered acclaim thanks to its clean, humorous storytelling style.
In 1988, they released their second album, He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper, which featured the still-beloved hit song 'Parents Just Don't Understand.' The following year, 'Parents Just Don't Understand' won the first-ever Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance.
Of course, we can't talk about Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff without mentioning 'Summertime.' The legends dropped the single in 1991, winning them a second Grammy. Their other notable albums include Homebase and Code Red.
Smith and Jeff's fame also transitioned to television when Smith starred on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air from 1990 to 1996 and Jeff had a recurring role as Jazz.

Pubisher and Spider-Man Set to Clash in Reported Major Action Scene For SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY — GeekTyrant
The web-slinger is about to go head-to-head with Marvel's most brutal vigilante. With production kicking off on Spider-Man: Brand New Day in Glasgow, Scotland, new intel teases a major confrontation between Spider-Man and The Punisher . According to insider Daniel Richtman, fans can expect a high-stakes brawl involving a Department of Damage Control (DODC) convoy. "I heard that tomorrow they'll be filming a big action scene with Punisher and Spider-Man fighting over a DODC transport convoy," Richtman revealed. If Frank Castle is gunning for someone in that transport, it's likely someone he sees as deserving his lethal brand of justice. Naturally, Peter Parker won't let that happen on his watch. This DODC connection ties neatly into what we've seen in previous MCU Spider-Man films, where the organization has played a significant role in cleanup and containment. The presence of their convoy implies whatever or whoever they're transporting is a big deal. So who's in the crosshairs? Rumors range from Bruce Banner to Mister Negative, or even a smaller-time threat like Boomerang. Recent set photos show a military-style vehicle that might be DODC property. Some fans have pointed out a devilish logo on the side, which could hint at Mister Negative's Inner Demons making an appearance. Word is The Punisher will be behind the wheel of one of these armored rides. As filming kicks off, early reports suggest rehearsals are happening ahead of a full shoot on Sunday. So while we haven't seen Tom Holland in costume just yet, it's only a matter of time before Spidey swings into action. We did get a tease of the costume, though! And while bringing The Punisher into Spider-Man's world is a big and exciting move, don't hold your breath for Charlie Cox's Daredevil to join the mix just yet. That team-up might be off the table for now. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to hit theaters July 31, 2026.

Man Utd club shop bans supporters from printing names of legendary trio on back of shirts due to key licensing issue
Fans cannot print name of three legends on their shirt United do not own player trademarks Sign at club shop informs confused fans Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Reported by Manchester Evening News, the three players in question are legendary No. 7s Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham and Eric Cantona. United do not own the trademark to any of the trio of former players' names, which means they are not licensed to print them on the back of shirts. THE BIGGER PICTURE The report states that this has been the case for several years and not just at United, as Real Madrid do not have the rights to print the legendary Ronaldo's name either, despite his status as one of the club's greatest-ever players. With this in mind, the recent craze around retro football shirts makes sense as it gives fans the chance to sport the names of their favourite players from the past on their backs, on shirts which were printed at a time when the player in question was at the club. In the case of Ronaldo, Beckham and Cantona, these shirts must be very rare to find indeed. WHAT FANS HAVE SAID United fans expressed their confusion at the licensing rule on social media. One fan said on X: "That's really weird." "Modern football just gets weirder," another added. A third said: "What if I call my son Beckham and he wants his own name on his shirt?" Another stated: "How can you copyright a name lol I'm pretty sure there's more people with those names." WHAT NEXT FOR MAN UTD? The Red Devils face Everton and Fiorentina in their final pair of pre-season fixtures before Mikel Arteta's Arsenal visit Old Trafford on August 17. Ruben Amorim's side will be looking for a major improvement on their unprecedented struggles last campaign and may look to complete further transfer business before the campaign gets underway.

Did anyone win £145m EuroMillions jackpot tonight?
A whopping £145m EuroMillions jackpot was up for grabs this week - but did anybody win? The estimated jackpot of £145,000,000 was waiting for the lucky player who matched all five numbers plus the two lucky stars in the draw, which took place at 8:30pm on Friday (August 1). It's a big week for the National Lottery, as players have been warned of a planned 36-hour outage taking place this weekend. From 11pm on Saturday (August 2), until "late Monday morning", all draw game sales and prize claims will be paused in shops across the UK. READ MORE: EuroMillions results LIVE: Lottery numbers for £145m draw on Friday, August 1 READ MORE: Asda to introduce one-day 'ban' across 10 UK stores National Lottery operator Allwyn has confirmed that the 36-hour outage this weekend is to make way for the biggest technology upgrade in the game's 31-year history. But that outage didn't affect the EuroMillions draw on Friday and nor should it affect the Lotto draw on Saturday. In June, one lucky ticket holder from Ireland won a staggering €250m in a EuroMillions draw, making them the biggest National Lottery winner ever. Since then, nobody has won the estimated jackpots, and it has gradually built back up week-by-week until Friday (August 1) when it reached £145m. Prior to the €250m EuroMillions win, the biggest National Lottery winner was an anonymous ticket-holder who scooped £195m in July 2022. Did anyone win the £145m EuroMillions jackpot? After a slight delay on Friday night, the winning numbers were finally drawn slightly later than usual. They were 04, 16, 25, 29, 30. The lucky stars are: 02, 10. However no one managed to win tonight's prize - meaning it will rollover again with an even bigger jackpot on Tuesday. Three players did manage to match five numbers and one lucky star, and 14 people the five main numbers.
