Will Smith

Remember when actor Will Smith strode onto the 2022 Oscars stage and slapped Chris Rock across the face after the comedian made a joke at the expense of his Smith’s wife? Oh, how everyone laughed. Said nobody.

Barry Sonnenfeld, director of the 1997 smash hit blockbuster “Men in Black,” made headlines this week when he shared a rather embarrassing story about his film’s star, Will Smith, having such a bad case of flatulence that the movie set had to be vacated for three hours.

Two years after Will Smith delivered the slap that was seen – and heard – around the world, the actor returned to the BET Awards on Sunday night to be met by a standing ovation.

All eyes will be on “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” which is projected to open between a lackluster $30 million and a stunning $60 million.

It was nearly two weeks before its board of governors voted to ban Smith from the Oscars and all other academy events for 10 years. Smith had already preemptively resigned as an academy member.

Serena Williams spoke publicly about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock for the first time on Thursday, but what she said is quite confusing.

Taylor Swift was up. Elon Musk was in, out, in and maybe out again. Tom Cruise was back. BTS stepped aside, and so did Serena Williams, and Tom Brady too — oops, scratch that.

Will Smith’s “Emancipation” has ambitions well beyond its grasp, but works just fine as a streaming movie.
