Men in Black 3
19 hours ago | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Men in Black III is remarkably better than it should be. It is a “threequel” in a sci-fi buddy cop franchise that includes a time travel conceit and a partner switch. It comes ten years after a panned sequel that involved amnesia. (Or maybe you forgot?) And, for what it’s worth, Miiib is also being hailed as Will Smith’s return to the prime summer season, four years after Hancock.
Enthusiastic headlines read “Will Smith is back in black!” after years of wondering if he still had “it.” As if, over the short hiatus, Smith could ever lose it; that inimitable set of qualities he possesses that drives his work and makes the world adore him (and Ukranian journalists want to kiss him). He is charismatic, talented enough to make it look effortless, and, most importantly, he is consistent, bringing the same success and animated energy (“Big Willie Style »

'Watch the Throne 2': Jay-z and Kanye West set to team up again
25 May 2012 5:58 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Jay-z and Kanye West are set to team up again on a second album. "Watch the Throne 2," is in the works producer Mike Dean says in an interview with Quiet Lunch.
"I'm working on the G.O.O.D. Music album, of course," says Dean of another project he's working on with West, "and Watch The Throne 2 -- it's not started yet, but it's coming."
That's good news for fans, who made the original "Watch the Throne" a hit -- it debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard charts when it was released in August 2011 and was nominated for four Grammies, winning one for Best Rap Performance for the single "Otis."
Will Jay-z and Kanye tour behind a second release? It would be silly not to -- though both are busy, West with new "friend" Kim Kardashian while Jay-z is a new dad and on the hook to write the music »

Will Smith on the risks of Men in Black 3, says it's most tricky franchise he has ever worked on
25 May 2012 8:54 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
It's been 15 years since Will Smith first donned those shades and started chasing aliens in Men In Black.
And although the square afro that he first stepped into the limelight with as The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air may be long gone, there's no sign of greying on the 43-year-old, who seems to have the energy levels of his just-teenage children Jaden and Willow.
Will's youthful enthusiasm was very much needed as he once more protected the earth from the 'scum of the universe' in new film Men In Black 3.
The follow-up to the 1997 sci-fi comedy didn't do as well, and there has been a ten-year hiatus since Smith and his co-star Tommy Lee Jones last donned their black suits as Agent J and Agent K.
So why come back now?
According to Barry Sonnenfeld, who directed all three films, they were halfway through filming the second one when »

Jada Pinkett Smith: 'I'm scared of clowns'

What's it like being the voice of the hippo in the Madagascar films and the wife of Will Smith?
Hello! How's Cannes?
It's very busy and very beautiful. Oh my goodness. Usually when I have come it's rainy. The first time here I was 20, for Menace II Society. Oh boy, I didn't know anything then. My outfits were just … woah. (1)
Did you have to sleep on the floor?
No, fortunately not. It was a good time to just be naive and young and know absolutely nothing.
Do you ever feel limited doing cartoons? (2)
You have as much space as you need. If I go into a session and I do something and go: "I wasn't happy with that, I'd like to do that again," they say: "Ok, not a problem." Whereas, in live action, I tell ya what: it's best that you figure it out that day. You can go back, »

Jay-z writing new material for Willow Smith for 'Annie' remake

It was more than a year ago that Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment announced it would be combining with Jay-z and Smith's daughter for a remake of "Annie." With Willow Smith now aged 11 -- the same age as the title character in the original stage write -- it's about time everybody got around to making their move.

Willow Smith Wears Freaky Freddie Krueger T-Shirt To ‘Mib’ Premiere — Pic

Willow attends her dad's 'Mib' premiere wearing some seriously spooky threads! Does her outfit look cool or questionable?? Although Willow Smith sadly lamented recently that she wishes she wasn't famous, she was soaking up the attention at her dad Will Smith's Men In Black 3 premiere wearing a terrifying Freddie Krueger T-shirt. The 11-year-old wore a T-shirt with the spooky Nightmare on Elm Street character and ripped black tights. We suppose the white blazer toned down her outfit a bit.

'Men in Black 3' premiere: A holly jolly, slap-free evening
24 May 2012 9:50 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Before Will Smith walked the red carpet at New York’s Men in Black 3 premiere last night, a publicist delivered the same strict message to each reporter she saw: Do not bring up the slap heard ’round the world. “We wouldn’t want to ruin this premiere too,” she explained, sounding both friendly and as though she’d happily eject anyone who disobeyed.
Notwithstanding that stern warning, the premiere’s atmosphere was positively jolly. For the most part, attendees ditched black for more festive attire; Smith sported a boisterous checked jacket, while women favored bright colors over less flashy gowns. »

Willow Smith Regrets Fame: ‘I Wish I Wasn’t Famous’ — Interview
14 May 2012 1:20 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
In an emotional new interview, Willow reveals she regrets her road to fame and hardly feels like a regular girl anymore. As the daughter of one of the most famous couples in Hollywood, and with a burgeoning pop career on her own, Willow Smith admitted that she's struggling with the intense pressures of the public eye. (Her parents' persistant divorce rumors probably don't help, either). "If I could change one thing about my life, it would probably be I wouldn't be famous," the 11-year-old daughter of Will Smith, 43, said in the new conversation series Red Table Talk. The young pop star added that being in the limelight has made it difficult for her to get around. "Let's say if a regular girl is going to the book store, it's ten times harder to go everywhere [when you're famous]...it's going to take me ten more minutes to get there. Because I have to call security. »

Willow Smith Dancing On Rooftops, Is World's Coolest 11-Year-Old
2 May 2012 11:17 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Impossibly cool 11-year-old Willow Smith has released her latest music video, which shows Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's daughter whipping her hair back and forth in Berlin, New York and Paris. Well, not really, but the pint-size pop star does offer us a glimpse into her jetsetting lifestyle in the video for "Do It Like Me (Rockstar)" as she appropriately rocks out on urban rooftops and recreates Abbey Road. Meanwhile, older brother Jaden Smith ("The Karate Kid," "The Pursuit of Happyness") and some random dude make a curious lazy-dancing cameo round 2:55.
Willow's debut album, Knees & Elbows, was meant to drop April 3 but has been pushed back by the record label.

Watch: Jada Pinkett Smith And Family Put It All On The Table
1 May 2012 11:30 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
In a candid discussion about motherhood, quality time and the consequences of life in the spotlight, three generations of women -- Jada Pinkett Smith her daughter Willow Smith and Pinkett Smith's mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones -- sat down for the first of what Smith hopes to be an ongoing conversation called "Red Table Talks."
A minute and a half long trailer for the video discussion, which is set to debut on Mother's Day 2012, May 13, reveals Banfield-Jones' feeling that she was "not a good mother" to Pinkett Smith and Willow's concern that the family does not spend enough quality time with one another.
"For people to be able to sit down together and have a conversation, that's the power of love. Love is what sometimes holds us and binds us when we're not so happy," Pinkett Smith says. The conversation she's starting around "The Red Table" will eventually represent all conversation, she adds. »
