I love Agent J— Will Smith

The international superstar reprises his role as Agent J in "Men in Black 3." The science fiction comedy, which also stars Josh Brolin and Tommy Lee Jones, hits theaters this weekend. The film is expected to do a brisk business at the box office, but it will face strong completion from the still red-hot "Avengers."

Lucky for Will Smith, there was no red carpet kiss snafu at the Men and Black 3 premiere, but that doesn't mean E!'s own Jason Kennedy and Alicia Quarles didn't have a little fun with our alien-fighting friend!

The man in plaid looked as handsome as ever on the red carpet with his beautiful wife Jada Pinkett Smith and adorable kiddos Jaden and Willow in tow at New York's Ziegfeld Theatre.

So, what's it like being the man, the myth, the legend behind the super successful franchise? And which body part was Will worried about when the alien-fighting flick goes into 3-D mode?

"I love Agent J—I love his bravery," Smith said of his character. "This is a character whose life was based on the truth and he was willing to give us everything to know the truth. I'm not that brave."

Despite shooting delays, script tweaks and a reported budged of $250 million, the film is well on its way to becoming a box-office hit, and Will takes every moment to appreciate his success.

"I enjoy the gifts that I have. At the end of the day, I'm a dude from Philly who didn't go to college, traveling the world making movies," Will said. "I'm blessed and I don't got nothing to complain about."

Humble and handsome—let's get an extraterrestrial cheers to that!

Lingerie Worker Claims, Fired For Being 'Too Hot'

Wearing a form-fitting sequined black dress and black leather, sequin-studded boots, Lauren Odes, 29, said her Orthodox Jewish employers at Native Intimates told her that outfit and others like it were "too hot" for the warehouse.

We should not be judged by the size of our breasts or the shape of our body," Odes said.

Lauren Odes, 29, did data entry at the Native Intimates warehouse for a week in late April. She says that she asked what the dress code was, and was told just to check out what everyone else was wearing. "So I did," Odes (pictured at left) said at a press conference on Monday. "The dress was very casual athletic wear to business attire."

Odes's attorney, celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, said she filed a gender and religious discrimination complaint with theU.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in New York.

But within two days, Odes says her supervisors began cautioning her that her outfits were too provocative, her lips and hair "too fresh," and her breasts too big. She was allegedly advised to tape down her chest, and on one occasion was given a "humiliating" bathrobe to wear over her clothes.

Finally she was reportedly told, "You are just too hot for this office.

Odes said she felt her wardrobe was appropriate for a business that sells "thongs with hearts placed in the female genital area and boy shorts for women that say 'hot' in the buttocks area.

Media photographers climbed on chairs and crashed into each other as Odes held a pose and Allred held up a series of purple, black and brown outfits she said also led to the woman's dismissal.

Now celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, who has battled O.J. Simpson, Arnold Schwarzeneger and Tiger Woods, has taken up her cause. "We should not be judged by the size of our breasts or the shape of our body," Odes was quoted by Reuters as saying.

She's filed a gender and religious discrimination complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in New York.

"I understand that there are Orthodox Jewish men who may have their views about how women should dress," Odes said, "... but I do not feel that any employer has the right to impose their religious beliefs on me."

You might expect a lingerie warehouse to have a pretty lax dress code for its employees. But a New Jersey woman claims that she was fired for her "too hot" outfits. Her Orthodox Jewish employers didn't appreciate her busty physique and form-fitting clothing, even thought they sold, in her words, "thongs with hearts placed in the female genital area and boy shorts for women that say 'hot' in the buttocks area."

A New Jersey woman said on Monday that she was dismissed from a temporary job at a New York lingerie warehouse because her male employers felt she was too busty and dressed too provocatively for the workplace.

Romney promises ‘Better America’

Romney shifts focus to Obama, vowing to unveil a ‘better America’ if elected

Coming off a clean sweep of all five primaries up for grabs Tuesday, including Pennsylvania and New York, Mitt Romney kicked off his general election pitch, insisting the upcoming campaign will be about the "very different visions" he and President Obama have for the country.

Speaking to a crowd in Manchester, N.H., Romney said the country is suffering from the "failed leadership" and "faulty vision" of the current president and insisted "a better America begins tonight."

"Four years ago, Barack Obama dazzled us in front of Greek columns with sweeping promises of hope and change. But after we came down to earth, after the celebration and parades, what do we have to show for three and a half years of President Obama?" Romney said. "People are hurting in America. And we know that something is wrong, terribly wrong with the direction of the country."   CONTINUE . . . . . .

EU imposes new sanctions on Syrian regime

LUXEMBOURG, The European Union on Monday banned the sale of luxury goods and products to Syria that can have military as well as civilian uses as the U.N. political chief demanded that the Syrian government stop using heavy weapons and comply with a cease-fire.

B. Lynn Pascoe told the U.N. Security Council in New York that the cease-fire, which went into effect on April 12, remains "incomplete" and "human rights violations are still perpetrated with impunity." He said Syria has also failed to fully implement international envoy Kofi Annan's six-point peace plan, saying the government's compliance with requirements to release detainees and allow peaceful demonstrations "are clearly insufficient."

The EU ban on luxury items appears to take direct aim at some of Syrian President Bashar Assad's most loyal supporters: the business community and prosperous merchant classes that are key to propping up the regime. An influential bloc, the business leaders have long traded political freedoms for economic privileges in Syria.

So far, the wealthy classes have stuck to the sidelines, but if the economic squeeze reaches them, it could be a game changer, analysts say.

Assad, who inherited power in 2000, spent years shifting the country away from the socialism espoused by his father. In the process, he helped boost a new and vibrant merchant class that transformed Syria's economic landscape even as the regime's political trappings remained unchanged.

Emails purportedly from Assad and his wife Asma, published in February by London's Guardian newspaper, indicated that the Syrian first lady has a taste for the finer things in life. The emails, whose authenticity has been questioned, revealed the first lady shopping online for crystal-encrusted Christian Louboutin stilettos, expensive jewelry, custom-made furniture and other luxury goods as violence swept the country.

EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton said the EU's 27 foreign ministers approved the new set of sanctions — the 14th in the past year — "because of deep concern about the situation and continuing violence in spite of the cease-fire."

"We expect the government to withdraw all troops and heavy weapons from towns and cities (and) we want to make sure that the regime gives full access to humanitarian organizations."

The U.N. estimates that more than 9,000 people have been killed since an uprising against the government of Assad began 13 months ago.

Pascoe, the U.N. undersecretary-general for political affairs, told the Security Council "we are at a pivotal moment in Syria."

He said the U.N. hopes the deployment of 300 unarmed U.N. military observers, which the Security Council authorized on Saturday, "will help to stop the killing and consolidate the calm" with the aim of creating the conditions "for a serious and credible political process."

To create these conditions, Pascoe said, "it is essential that the government of Syria fully and immediately implement its obligations to stop using heavy weapons and to pull back military forces from population centers."

He said it is also essential that Syria implement other aspects of the Annan plan, noting "little progress" on its requirement to allow unimpeded access for aid workers to an estimated 1 million people in need of humanitarian assistance.

He said Annan, the joint U.N.-Arab League envoy, will brief the Security Council on Tuesday.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told reporters late Monday that it is "absolutely important" that Syria protect the monitors and ensure their freedom of access and freedom of movement. There must be "no such obstacles," he stressed.

Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, again urged the Syrian government "to seize this chance for a peaceful political solution to the crisis — before it's too late."

The U.S. welcomes "the positive statements from various Syrian opposition figures and groups" about the expanded U.N. observer mission, she said, "but we are all sober in our expectations."

"The Syrian regime should make no mistake: we will be watching its actions day and night," Rice said. "We will work to ensure there will be consequences should the Syrian regime continue to ignore this Council's decisions, press ahead with its murderous rampage, and flout the will of the international community."

Syria's U.N. Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari strongly criticized Qatar, saying its leader didn't believe that the Annan mission would succeed. Ja'afari accused Qatar and Saudi Arabia of financing "terrorist groups," which the Syrian government blame for the violence.

Previous rounds of U.S. and EU sanctions have done little to stop the bloodshed, although there are signs the Syrian economy is suffering. International measures against Assad's regime have depleted its foreign currency reserves by half, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said last week.

EU experts will work out later precisely which goods will be included in the new embargo. One of the diplomats said so-called "dual-use" goods can include anything from vehicles to fertilizers and other chemicals.
