Ukrainian television prankster Vitalii Sediuk attempted to kiss MIB3 star Will Smith on the lips, and got a smack ion reply.
An angry Will told the Vitalii: ”Hey man, what the hell is your problem?”
Video here.
He told another reporter that it could have been worse: ”He tried to kiss me on the mouth. He’s lucky I didn’t try to sucker punch him. … Sorry, I said that on camera.”
The media tend to see a movie before the general public do (unless the studios have no pride in their latest release). Here’s what movie reviewers are saying about MIB3:
* CBM: If the film falters anywhere, it’s that it feels a little too short. “Men in Black 3″ avoids the threequel curse of the likes of “Spider-Man 3″ and “X-Men: The Last Stand” and instead ends up being the best film in the “Men in Black” franchise. Fantastic fun which will leave you wanting more. (8/10)
* Digital Spy: Of course, it stops short of profound, but this is a funny, exciting, spectacular and surprisingly poignant thrill-ride – definitely worth two of your Earth hours. (8/10)
* Huffington Post: The story, despite all the aliens, takes on a ghostly, dreamy, vibe, at times somewhere between “Harry Potter” and “The Time Traveller’s Wife.” …it’s all about perfecting the balance. (8/10)
* ScifiNow: Lady Gaga, Tim Burton and Mick Jagger dragged through the otherworldly dirt for our amusement. Whilst “MIB 3″ wraps up the series neatly, there’s talk of a fourth already and you can’t help but feel the joke is wearing a little thin. (6/10)
* SFX: It’s Josh Brolin who almost steals the show in a performance that’s much more than an uncanny K pastiche. It’s neither a disaster, nor a roaring success. Not as good as “Men In Black,” but superior in almost every way to the risible sequel. (6/10)
* IGN: “Men in Black 3″ is another lackluster installment in this series, but somewhat better than the second film. A bit darker and edgier. But ultimately, Men in Black 3 never really comes together (5/10)
* Empire: …something of a too-many-cooks muddle. Despite some good moments, Agents J, O and K are missing an E. (4/10)
In summary:
Two sundaes, the “Lunar Lander” and the “Agent 31,” top “Lunar Cheesecake” ice cream with what Stan Frankenthaler, Vice President of Innovation at Dunkin’ Brands, called “creative flavor combinations and toppings” that mirror the movie’s “theme of unexpected twists.” In practice, that means marshmallow and yellow cake on the “Lunar Lander” and brownies and hot fudge on “Agent 31.”
The most exciting of the offerings is probably a “Pink Surprise Cake,” which allegedly clones a dessert featured in a “pivotal scene” in the movie.
All new, for a limited time at Baskin-Robbins, to promote Men In Black 3. There’s also the Lunar Cheesecake flavor, originally launched in 1969 to celebrate the first man on the moon.
Created in 1969. Lunar Cheesecake launched the day after the first man landed on the moon. It featured lunar green cheesecake ice cream with an Apollo 11 Marshmallow ribbon.

Obviously it is the Mexican issue of Premiere magazine. Doesn’t Hombres De Negro III have a nice ring to it?
I really like this one, and I hope it’s the one my local cinema chooses to hang on the wall:
Hollywood folk all have managers and agents, and they give them big cuts from the pay bonanzas. And because the money can be so great, legal disputes are commonplace.
Men in Black director Barry Sonnenfeld had UTA as his agent when his deal for the first movie of the franchise was made in 2005. He left UTA for CAA soon after, but UTA expect that all of Barry’s income that flows on from that original deal should be shared with them.
UTA have been awarded $325,000 by a Superior Court, but Sonnenfeld will appeal – he alleges that his deal for Men in Black 3 is different to those of the first two movies.

Rick Baker is famous with a capital F for his makeup effects. He rose to fame courtesy of the movie An American Werewolf in London and hasn’t looked back since. Here’s two pics of Rick working on the latest Men in Black sequel:
According to a long and revealing interview between MTV and Barry Sonnenfeld, there might be more MIB movies one day, perhaps depending on next month’s box office:
MTV: Wrapping up, you talked about how the ending of this film is “surprising.” As much as you can tease, do you view this film as an ending to the “Men in Black” trilogy? Or are there ways to continue the story?
Sonnenfeld: The fantastic thing about “Men in Black 3″ is that it totally closes out the trilogy, it answers questions that you didn’t even know you should be asking, it leaves you emotionally warm and sad and happy, and it could also reboot the franchise. But I can’t even begin to tell you how to interpret all of that. [Laughs] But I would say this: If your interpretation is that “Men in Black 4″ will only star the worm guys and Frank the pug, you are wrong.
They also discuss how the movie began shooting even though only the first act had been written, and how funny guy Jemaine Clement managed to play the main villain.
Expect a top-notch MTV-type video closer to the movie launch date in late May.
Last month it was leaked that Lady Gaga has a cameo role in MIB3, as a sequel to Michael Jackson’s appearance earlier in the franchise. Now we have news that Justin Bieber and Tim Burton are also Men In Black aliens, according to director Barry Sonnenfeld (interviewed by Collider)
“In this one there are a few people that you’ll see up on the surveillance board including Lady Gaga, Tim Burton, who probably knows more about aliens then I do, and let’s see who else . . . Justin Bieber.”
But that doesn’t necessarily mean they will be acting in the movie:
“Well, we’ve always had in Men in Black headquarters, alien surveillance, so one of the joys is deciding who you would put up on the board, who you would tell the world are aliens. And A) the challenge is you have to get permission from these celebrities and B) you don’t want to go with people that are either a flash in the pan, or political, or people that then in 10 years no one will know who you’re talking about.”
