James Avery, star of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,' dies at 68
Nobody laid down the law like Uncle Phil when Will got out of hand.
James Avery, best known for playing Will Smith's no-nonsense rich uncle on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the actor's manager confirmed Wednesday to E! News. He was 68.
"I'm deeply saddened to say that James Avery has passed away," Alfonso Ribeiro, who played preppy son Carlton on the 1990s-era hit, tweeted this morning. "He was a second father to me. I will miss him greatly."
Per his manager, Avery died Tuesday night at a Los Angeles hospital due to complications from open-heart surgery. He never stopped working, most recently shooting Zach Braff's indie film Wish I Was Here up until September.
Avery amassed dozens of TV and film roles over the years, including appearances on The Closer, That '70s Show and Grey's Anatomy, the imposing actor's most memorably role will always be that of lawyer (and ultimately Judge) Philip Banks, married father of three (and later four) who does his sister-in-law a favor by letting her son Will come and stay with them in Bel-Air to escape trouble in urban Philadelphia.
Cue the hilarity, which lasted for six seasons and put Smith on the road to mega-stardom.
Avery, who was born in Virginia and raised in Atlantic City, N.J., also lent that booming voice of his to a number of animated shows and films over the years, including TV's Teenage Mutanta Ninja Turtles (he was The Shredder!), the 1990s-era Iron Man series and DreamWork's The Prince of Egypt. His many live-action film credits include The Brady Bunch Movie and Dr. Dolittle 2.
He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Barbara Avery; step-son Kevin Waters; and his mother, Florence Avery.
"James was my teacher my protector & the most magnificent actor. We're feeling his loss very deeply. He'll always be a part of me #JamesAvery," Tatyana Ali, who played daughter Ashley on Fresh Prince, also tweeted today.

Kristen Bell Is Back As Veronica Mars In New Movie
The "Veronica Mars" movie trailer is finally here, Marshmallows.
The hotly-anticipated trailer debuted on E! Online on Thursday (Jan. 2), and in the new footage, Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) hears some bad news: her former boyfriend Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring) is caught up in some major legal troubles: he's been accused of murdering his girlfriend.
Will Veronica throw away her new job as a high-powered New York attorney and her happy life with Piz (Chris Lowell) to help her former flame? Plus, will she be able to handle her 10-year high school reunion? A previously released clip seems to imply she won't.

Hawick Lau Flies Back to HK to Pick Up YangMi for Surprise Wedding Tomorrow

Translated by: aZnangel
Hawick took two days off from work for his wedding. Yesterday at 6:20pm, he arrived at the HK airport and was surrounded by reporters congratulating him. Hawick had a smile on his face the whole time and said: "I made a special trip back to HK today to pick up Yang Mi and my family. Tomorrow we'll be flying to Bali together." When asked about their wedding guests? He expressed: "Majority are my colleagues, classmates and family. We didn't invite friends from the industry because its hard to match the schedules for so many people. I don't want to trouble anybody. (Hold a wedding banquet in HK?) I still have two jobs on hand, haven't planned for a HK wedding banquet and don't have time to go on a honeymoon. Actually its fun to go on vacation with a group of friends, we'll be in Bali for three days, then we have to get back to Mainland for work."
It had been widely rumored Yang Mi is pregnant, Hawick had a big reaction when heard this: "Hahaha...ah...hahaha... I'll let you all know when there is good news!" Will Yang Mi reduce her on-screen work after marriage and focus more on the family? He expressed: "She can balance between family and work. She won't give up anything. (What if there is a baby?) Hahaha... talk about that when we do have one!" Does Hawick like to have a boy or a girl? He said: "Hahaha." But he admitted he and Yang Mi are prepared to have children. "Starting a family and having children is a very important goal in life for me. I am trying to achieve this goal now!"
It was disclosed Hawick did careful wedding planning, arranging the five star hotel and romantic beach wedding. He deliberately created a surprise for Yang Mi. Hawick said a little disappointed: "Not any surprise, everyone (the media) went to take pictures already. Whatever surprise there was is no surprise." Will the couple share the wedding photos with the public? He laughed: "Let's see if she wants to or not. Have to see whether the photos look good or not before posting." Hawick declined to reveal how much he spent on the wedding. He just laughed: "Priceless."
