Will Smith to Make Men in Black Look Good Again, Again

Sony will get its Memorial Day 2011 tent pole after all. To fill the void left by the cancellation of Spider-Man 4 , the studio is moving ahead with a third Men in Black film. Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and director Barry Sonnenfeld will all return for the blockbuster which — spoiler alert — will be filmed in 3D. Of course more inquiring minds are curious about only one thing: Will they find room for Rip Torn? [ /Film ]

HBO Renews Curb Your Enthusiasm

After a resurgent season that brought us the long-awaited Seinfeld reunion, HBO and Larry David have decided to move ahead with an eighth go-around of Curb Your Enthusiasm . Says David: “After much soul searching — and by the way, it was nowhere to be found — I have decided to do another season of Curb . I look forward to the end of shooting, when I can once again resume the hunt for my elusive soul. I know it’s here somewhere or perhaps in the rugged mountainous regions of Pakistan.” In other television news, NBC renewed Parenthood for a second season, though they didn’t make an Osama Bin Laden joke while doing so.

Matrix This

Get ready for the Approval Matrix , a new television series from Bravo that literally rips a page from New York Magazine . The in-development show will feature four rotating pundits who categorize that week’s pop culture news into the four quadrants employed by the magazine: Highbrow Brilliant, Highbrow Despicable, Lowbrow Brilliant and Lowbrow Despicable. Bravo (which, by the way, fits somewhere between the Lowbrow Brilliant and Lowbrow Despicable on the grid) says that “celebrity guests” (translation: Bethenny Frankel) will visit the show to offer their own opinions on news. Best Week Ever , anyone? [ The Wrap ]
