At the Moscow “Men in Black 3″ premiere, Will Smith was forced to defend his personal space, backhanding a Ukrainian reporter who attempted to steal a smooch from the actor. TMZ reports that the forward move is part of the reporter’s schtick, but Smith wasn’t keen on kissing a stranger, and reacted violently.

Smith later said, “He’s lucky I didn’t sucker punch him.” Worth noting: Smith has publicly expressed his support for gay marriage, so this act is probably more driven by the invasion of his personal space than anything else.

Check out a video of the encounter below. Do you think Will Smith was right to react as he did?

With the Cannes film festival in its opening days, ”Rust & Bone” (De rouille et d’os) by director Jacques Audiard stars the “La Vie En Rose” Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard, with Matthias Schoenaerts.

Setting the bar high, Audiard explores the intense complexities between emotional and physical conflict. Loosely based on Craig Davidson’s short story collection, the film begins with a destitute Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts ) and his 5-year-old son leaving the North of France to seek a more orderly life. An ex-boxer, Ali soon obtains a job as a nightclub bouncer, where a chance encounter leads him to meet orca trainer, Stephanie (Marion Cotillard).  After a tragic accident occurs at Stephanie’s workplace, a dynamic relationship between the two emerges as their afflictions (his emotional and hers physical) ultimately tangle into a mutual struggle for reconciliation.

Audiard’s directing skillfully intensifies the vulnerabilities of human healing, and it is Cotillard and Schoenaerts’ commitment to the evolution of these intimate moments, allowing them to unfold honestly, that puts Rust & Bone in the ring with the rest of Cannes’ heavyweights.

Check out Celebs.com‘s pics from the press conference:

Some outlets are reporting that Sean Penn went on a verbal rampage on Friday in Cannes, blasting Haiti slacktivists whom he says abandoned the nation after its 2010 earthquake. “It’s not only celebrities who went for a day,” he said. “It’s the whole f*cking world. It’s all of you.”

That said, Celebs.com was there on the ground and was listening to what seemed like nothing more than an impassioned Penn discussing the situation and certainly didn’t see the level of heat coming from Penn that used to land the actor in trouble with paparazzi photographers.

Penn went on to add that people weren’t committed to the cause from the beginning. “The reason we have Haiti fatigue is because there was never a commitment in the first place,” he explained.

Sean Penn’s remarks came during a news conference with Paul Haggis and Petra Nemcova preceding their Cannes Film Festival benefit for Haiti sponsored by Giorgio Armani. Check out Celebs.com’s own photos from the press conference!

Before partying the night away at a private Calvin Klein event, Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jessica Chastain, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith took to the Cannes press corps to promote “Madagascar 3,” which is showing as part of the Cannes Film Festival program.

While “Madagascar 3″ obviously isn’t in competition against the (much more) gritty festival films, the crowd lapped up the all-star power of the voice talent team. Ironically, in most theaters in France, the voices heard behind the penguins and lions will be these Hollywood heavyweights’ French voice dubbers.

Jackie Chan has had it with acting — in action films, anyway. Chan announced his career shift at the Cannes Film Festival during a “Chinese Zodiac” press conference, saying, “This will be my last action movie. I tell you, I am not young any more. I am really, really tired.”

What’s next for Chan in Hollywood? “I don’t just want to be an action star. I want to be a true actor. I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro,” he explained. “I want to get rid of my image. So, for the last 10 years I’ve done other films like ‘The Karate Kid’ where I’d rather play an old man. I want the audience to know I’m not just about fighting or comedy, also I can act.”

Do you think Jackie Chan will succeed in rounding out his acting resume?

“iCarly” star Miranda Cosgrove is the face of the June issue of Teen Vogue. The child actress was photographed at a seaside setting wearing airy dresses from fashion labels like DKNY. Cosgrove talked to the magazine about the future of “iCarly” and her ideal boyfriend.

“It’s weird when your biggest success is something that you’re also trying to break out of,” she said. “We don’t know if we’ll do more episodes. I’m looking at this as the last season. Though we said that last year.”

As for Cosgrove’s romantic life, she does have an ideal mate. “I just want someone who lives in L.A.,” she mused. “I’ll meet someone and they’ll be traveling all the time. Someone here — that would help a lot!”

Cosgrove has definitely broken out of her shell as iCarly in this editorial. Check out the gallery below for more photos.

The latest issue of Premiere magazine features some rather gruesome photos of Robert Pattinson. In an editorial entitled “Rob 2,” the “Twilight” star recreates several scenes inspired by David Cronenberg horror flicks such as “Dead Ringers” and “Scanners.” The idea was suggested by Pattinson, who stars in Cronenberg’s 2012 film “Cosmopolis.”

“I have five projects lined up right now that follow the path that ["Cosmopolis"] opened for me,” he said. “Before, I spent my time doubting myself. As soon as I read a script that I liked, I was working myself up, asking myself if I was good enough. Now, I tell myself: ‘F*ck it! If they want to hire you, go!’”

Check out the gory photo shoot by Elliot Lee Hazel below. What do you think of this dark side of Robert Pattinson?

At the Hollywood premiere for What to Expect When You’re Expecting, a gaggle of stars came out to support the premiere; everyone from General Hospital‘s Finola Hughes (about to direct her first feature!), the stars of the upcoming film “Step Up 4′s” Ryan Guzman and “So You Think You Can Dance’s” Kathryn McCormick (opens in July!) and the film’s own brazilian heartthrob Rodrigo Santoro.

Author Heidi Murkoff, who wrote the best selling book on which the movie is based, was ecstatic about how the script was adapted and thrilled with the A list talent cast to bring her words to life.
