Tatyana Ali sat down with VIBE about her new TV show “Love That Girl”!! Check out the advice Will Smith gave her on the new show and what she thinks about little Miss Willow! I’m so happy for Tatyana… always wanted to see her get another show. Check it out on TV One.

What advice did Will give you?

Will told me was that essentially there should always be a moral to every story that we tell. A lot of time you want it to be funny and you’re concerned about the comedy. And spend a lot of time going thru jokes and adlibs. And our writers are on stage with us while we’re filming and they’re changing jokes last minute. But heart of the show and what really grips people is that lesson, that moral, that thing that’s true. What the character is going thru. That’s why people love sitcoms, characters might make mistakes but they find out what’s right and wrong at the end of every storyline.

And speaking of Will, what did you think of his daughter Willow’s pop hit ‘Whip My Hair’?

Omigod, I loved it! And as old as I am I like, ‘Whoo hoo!’ [laughs] First of all Willow sounds amazing, she’s so cool. But she was cool since she was a baby. And that song is so positive in a cool way. It’s about confidence, having self-esteem and not caring what other people think. And everybody needs hear that any age.
