WILL SMITH SLAPS REPORTER IN RUSSIA

A funny thing happened while on the way to the Moscow premiere of Men in Black III. Will Smith slapped a male television reporter who he said tried to kiss him on the lips as he walked down the red carpet for the premiere. The reporter from the Ukrainian television channel 1+1, Vitalii Sediuk, made headlines at the Venice Film Festival last year when he presented a bouquet hydrangeas to Madonna. Supposedly, it’s common knowledge that she hates hydrangeas (in her words, “loathes” them), and he purposely presented her with the flowers to get a rise out of her. Will Smith was even less charmed by the reporter, who approached him on the carpet outside the movie theater on Friday night and tried to kiss him.
