As you probably know, Men in Black III is coming. It’s out tomorrow actually. I still remember seeing the first movie like 20 years ago. It seems like forever, but I just checked and it was 1997, still ages ago. Men in Black II was out in 2002, a full ten years ago. So they’re releasing the third one a decade later since no one puts money into original movie ideas anymore. (Sometimes for good reason.)
Kaiser, Bedhead and I were wondering if this will make back its production budget, a very steep $375 million(!) according to Wikipedia. It’s a huge gamble, but it could pay off. Bedhead wrote that “it might squeak by if you add in international ticket sales and merchandising.” Plus, you know, it’s got Will Smith in it and he’s a big draw.
Speaking of Will, his youngest two children, Willow and Jaden, came out to the premiere in New York last night, as did his wife, Jada. Jada was just in Cannes looking like a million bucks at Sean Penn’s Haiti benefit, so it’s nice to see her fly back to support her husband. We’ve heard split rumors about these two for a long time, but they were spotted out together during the European promotion for the film earlier this month. I tend to think they went through a rough patch and worked it out, like a lot of other couples. Is it goofy to say that I’m rooting for them? I really like them together.
Willow wore this ridiculous long shirt featuring Freddie Kruger at the hemline, like he’s jumping out from her lap. I would conveniently “lose” that thing if my daughter owned it. Willow is 11! She’s just a tween, but her parents are treating her like a little adult. They’ve made a lot of parenting decisions I disagree with, particularly putting their kids in the business so young. I guess they’re letting her express herself through her fashion and hairstyles, which I can’t argue with too much if she’s covered up. Kids know what they like to wear, and there’s no use forcing them to dress a certain way. (Although I would draw the line at Freddie Kruger dresses.)
I just looked up some quotes from Will Smith to add to this story, and I found this really awesome one about how Jaden, 13, asked President Obama if aliens were real. Will, of course, has been gunning to play Obama for a while, saying that he’s the “natural choice.” This story about Jaden asking Obama about aliens is a funny one, and I know my kid would bug me to let him ask the President something like this. Here it is:
Will Smith was left red-faced after his son asked U.S president Barack Obama if aliens are real during a visit to the White House.
The Men in Black star banned his son Jaden from asking the extra-terrestrial question ahead of a guided tour of the President’s home with his family, but the cheeky 13-year-old actor couldn’t resist defying his dad.
The youngster popped the question as Obama showed the family around the “situation room” – where the president holds meetings during a crisis – and the U.S. leader was happy to answer him.
Smith tells BBC Radio 1 host Chris Moyles, “The night before Jaden had said to me, ‘Dad, I gotta ask the president about the aliens,’ and I’m like, ‘Dude, no, it’s not cool. It’s embarrassing. Do not ask the president!’ So we get into the situation room and Jaden gets the look in his eyes and he leans over to me and asks, ‘Dad, What’s my punishment?’
“And Barack is starting to talk about this situation room and Jaden says, ‘Excuse me Mr. President?’ and I’m like, ‘Hey, Barack man, listen?’ and Barack said, ‘Don’t tell me.’ And in perfect form – and this is why he is the president – he stopped and looked at Jaden and said, ‘The aliens, right? OK, I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of extra-terrestrials but I can tell you if there had been a top secret meeting and if there would have been a discussion about it, it would have taken place in this room.’”
[From The Huffington Post]
That’s hilarious and I love Obama’s answer! Have you seen this game Obama Alien Defense? I would say that must be where Jaden got the idea, but his dad has been kicking alien ass at the movies forever. I think they should do a film where Will Smith as Obama fights aliens, like Independence Day except with the Commander in Chief. You don’t need to vary a good formula much, at least that’s the premise the movie industry operates under.
As for Jada’s black deep v-neck dress I kind of love it for some other event, and wonder if it’s from her Cannes luggage. The skirt is so sheer it looks like she’s wearing granny panties underneath. It’s too dressy and sexy for her husband’s premiere is what I’m saying, but he probably loves it. So maybe it’s just the right outfit.
Josh Brolin looking like a handsome rogue.
And Benedict Cumberbatch doing the same! What’s he doing there? He’s not in the film as far as I can find. I like him better as a blonde, though.

the whole lot of them look awkward and uncomfortable. Will’s smile looks so fake and plastered. But I LOVE Jada’s dress. it’s such a diva look and she actually seems curvy in it. this movie will do as well as the others.

She looks really good in this dress, not many can carry the transparent skirt look without seeming a tad tacky. She does it so well and effortlessly.
Her face looks very pinched and gaunt though; Photo assumption, she doesn’t want Will that close to her, and wishes she was altogether elsewhere.

I hate everything the Smith family are wearing. Will’s silly jacket. Jada’s OTT dress. The little boy’s ridiculous trousers. Willow’s age-inappropriate shirt dress. Bad, bad, bad.
Result: I feel SO GOOD about my jeans, tank and little latered shirt now. I am fashion. Yes.

Agree..everything about them is way to forced. Not natural. Especially the kids. It’s like “hey look at me…I’m soooo cool”. Which IMO comes across as trying way to hard and not cool at all. Rather silly

Is Jada playing the alien villainess in MIB III? Those cheek implants!
And why does Jaden Smith always looks so sullen and sour? What could possibly be so horrible about his life? Never seen that kid crack a smile.

Jayden reminds me of my son, in posed photos he has that same look..He just freezes up and thinks that’s what a smile looks like. When you catch him not looking his smile is so beautiful and natural; but anything posed from school pictures to family he is so stiff. Lol

I much rather talk about Will’s clothes!
He has been wearing the hell out of incredible suits for the last couple weeks. And I love that he has no issue’s with wearing lots of patterns and colors.
I am truly excited to see this MIB III. I love that they have stepped back in time to the 1960′s. And using Josh Brolin as “K”.
I do have to agree that Benedict Cumberbatch is an interesting looking man. I finally watched “The Other Boleyn Girl”. And he has darken hair in that film. But he always dresses beautifully and that is my favorite thing about seeing him.

Ugh! This fake family. You could slice a roast on Jada’s cheekbones, I just can’t with this bald girl’s atrocious sense of “style” and please oh please tell me WHY the boy’s photo face ALWAYS looks like he’s smelling a rotten fart?Their body language just screams that they don’t even like each other.

Benedict is friends (or “friends”, I’m not sure) with Alice Eve who is in the movie. They are also is Star Trek together.

That means nothing they are always photo together when promoting something to look like one big happy family. It’s when their not promoting that they are never seen together, really this is the most I seen Willow with her family in months usually she by herself traveling or shopping.

don’t love the look.. I was hoping there would be a post on here about Beyonces’ ‘ab’ video shooting pool… she was baring her midriff…she looks great…so I’m thinking it must have been old footage prior …I don’t think she would purposely show her tummy so soon with all the ‘fake’ baby controversy….

I agree with you. I like her dress, but her face is looking more n more jacked up. She is doing something to it and she needs to stop! She is beautiful, but like so many women in hollywood, she is treading a slippery slope of plastic surgery gone bad.

Love the dress, hate the implants!
Jaden, start practicing making another face & posing in the mirror..that one is not doing you any favors!
Jada, your daughter is wearing a crotch popping, shorter than her cookies SHIRT! That is not a dress!
Willow…enjoy the artistic freedom, but also enjoy being a kid…. You will be just another pampered, used up child star and wonder what happened. Don’t try to grow up too fast.. Listening Dad????

The whole family is trying too hard with all their outfits.
Jada needs to go back to her PS regarding her cheek filler, too shelf like and needs more blending.
She looks awful. Maybe if she gained some weight she wouldn’t look so Madonna-ish. Which isn’t a good thing these days.

Has Jada lost her wedding ring? Or is it invisible? Or did she never have one?
They’re all trying too hard, and that includes Will, trying desperately to be funny, lest anyone remembers to ask about his ties to the Crazy $ciento Cult, aka the Church of Xenu.

The dress is absolutely gorgeous but her exposed bony chest and super chiseled arms are killing me! I hate when women exercise too much and have grisly bodies. Also, her face is a wreck which is a shame because she used to be so beautiful. She could have aged gracefully and looked so lovely. I like Will’s suit and coat

You know who strikes me as outrageously cool, quietly intelligent and just plain understatedly awesome?

Willow on the other hand? She totally irritates me! Focus on your schoolwork darling, you don’t really have ‘it’.

Totally agree with the other posters who think Jada’s cheek implants look terrible…. but I do like her dress.

Jada = too much plastic surgery! Her breast implants look hard & nasty, he cheek implants are in the same territoy. She needs to put a few pounds on her body & maybe she will look normal. The rest are a mess, Will Smith is narcisst on the highest level & it comes out through how those kids act.

The dress is fine.. the event is all about Will so.
I just see a disconnect with everyone. They are together but not. But that is just photo assumption on my part. Do she and Will wear rings. I don’t recall.
