‘Men in Black’ reboot

    SCI-FI comedy “Men in Black” is returning with its own reboot, minus one major thing — its star, Will Smith.

    Producer husband and wife Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald confirmed in an interview that Sony is working on the reboot, which interestingly, won’t be just one movie, but a full trilogy. Smith played a lead role alongside Tommy Lee Jones in the hit film which was released in 1997 with two further films released in 2002 and 2013. Both actors played government agents in charge of monitoring alien activity and ensuring civilians remained unaware of their presence.

    Chris Brown visa trouble

    CHRIS BROWN’S plans to tour Down Under were in jeopardy yesterday after the Australian Government formally warned the troubled R&B singer that he is likely to be denied a visa because of his criminal conviction for assaulting Rihanna.
