Sony Pictures needs some new ideas - badly!

During a movie industry convention, Showest, yesterday in Las Vegas, Sony revealed its love for trilogies.

The studio is working on releasing Men In Black III and Ghostbusters III.

Seriously, MIB 3? Is that really necessary?

Ghostbusters we're totally feeling. They should have released that movie years ago!

Can Sony still afford Will Smith's salary for some shitty trilogy and would he even consider it? Or maybe just produce it?

No screenwriter has yet to be hired for the flick.

As for Ghostbusters, it's obvious the original gang consisting of Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd is too old to be fighting the paranormal. Instead, they'll return to mentor a new crew of Ghostbusters.

What's next, Back to the Future, IV?

Actually….that'd be kick ass!!!!

Everyone wants to share their opinion on the Chris Brown and Rihanna controversy. Though some remarks are clearly just idiotic.

This time around, it's Will Smith giving his thoughts.

Thursday night at the NAACP Image Awards, Smith said: "Jada and I reached out to both of them. If it's help they need, then let's get it right. This is a time where they need to be left alone and if they have things they need to work out, work it out."

We agree, though someone should fess up to the truth. And if Chris does have a history of hitting RiRi, then they both need to seek help NOW.

Smith continued, "People should take a minute before they jump on it and judge. We don't know nothing. If there are mistakes people make, then they should be willing to live up to the mistakes and do whatever penance they need to do. I don't think it's up to us, specifically the media, with such a fast hand to try to chop someone's head off."

What do U think?

Forbes decided to do yet another(!) survey - they gotta keep their writers busy - and they decided to take a look at some numbers.

What did they discover?

They discovered that Will Smith is the most valuable actor in Hollywood.

Smith was the only actor to received a perfect 10 in the Forbes Star Currency survey.

Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Angelina Jolie all tied for second place. The rest of the top 20 include Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, and Matt Damon.

These are the folks who can almost guarantee to pull in numbers at the box office, regardless of the film they're starring in. And with a combined 69 nominations and 15 wins, as far as film awards go, they're not so bad at acting either.

So in an economy where people might not want to spent $10 on a movie they might end up not liking, we bet we'll be seeing Will Smith's face a whole lot more these days!

According to a new survey, movie theater owners heart Will Smith big time because he reels in the big bucks.

Tom Cruise's best friend was voted the star who generated the most box office revenue for theaters in an annual survey by Quigley Publishing Co.

This summer, the Will flick Hancock made a jaw dropping $228 million.

Here's the rest of the list, in rank order:
Robert Downey Jr.
Christian Bale
Shia LaBeouf
Harrison Ford
Adam Sandler
Reese Witherspoon
George Clooney
Angelina Jolie
Daniel Craig

Is Will upset that his bestie, Tom, didn't make the list?

We all know that Will Smith is a pretty charitable guy.

Recently, he's even been going to hospitals and schools to donate his time and money.

So it's no surprise that Smith, and his beard wife Jada, have given away $1.3 million in donations this last year to a variety of charities.

The tax returns for Smith's charitable foundation show that several donations were made to art groups, hospital, and religious groups.

Smith's biggest single contribution was again to the Yesha Ministries of Philadelphia. The born-again Christian based organization received $250,000 from Smith.

But perhaps the most interesting thing is that Smith donated to the Church of Scientology, giving a combined total of $122,500.

Smith and Jada have also supported that new private school in Los Angeles, New Village Academy, that uses Scientology learning concepts.

Smith denies being directly involved with the "religion." But, as the old saying goes, MONEY TALKS!

Tuesday night's Los Angeles premiere of Will Smith's Seven Pounds turned into a Fresh Prince reunion on the red carpet.

Besides the Queen Prince himself, Cousin Carlton (Alfonso Ribeiro) was there, along with the rebellious Ashley Banks (Tatyana Ali).

It's nice to see that the former castmates are still friends.

Or that Will Smith at least took pity on their dead-end careers and invited them on a night out.

'Tis the season after all!

P.S. The film and Will's performance are getting awful reviews.

One of the highest paid actors in HOllywood, Will Smith, is about to make a few LOT more millions.

The bankable box office star is reportedly in talks to make some sequels, cuz we didn't get enough of his crappy films the first time around!

Reports are that both Hancock and I Am Legend will soon have follow-up flicks.

One insider said Will "is ready to do both. Producers are just trying to get Charlize Theron to sign on for the 'Hancock' sequel."

Though with I Am Legend, the new flick will be a prequel, considering Will's fate at the end of the first movie.

A source says about the prequel, "It will be about how the disease spreads and the fall of the last great American city. It will also develop the relationship between Will's character and his wife."

As for Will's rep, they say, "There have been talks about both of these projects."

Is there no stopping this man?

We just told you this week how Will Smith took time out of his schedule while promoting his latest flick, Seven Pounds, to visit with patients at Miami Children's Hospital.

Well, we just found out from one of our Perezcious readers that there's even more good news.

Turns out Smith took time out yesterday to visit Case Elementary, an inner city public school in Cleveland, Ohio.

He spent time visiting with the school officials and hanging out with the kids.

Will's got such a huge heart, and he knows how to manipulate the media almost as well as Angelina Jolie!
