US actor Will Smith took the action to the Red Carpet at the recent ‘Men in Black 3‘ premier in Moscow on Friday, May 18, 2012 as a reporter tried kissing him on the lips.

The man, reportedly from Ukraine walked up to Smith on the red carpet and tried to hug him first, then kissing him on both cheeks before trying for the lips. Smith immediately responded with a backhanded slap to the face.

‘Come on man, what the hell is your problem buddy?’, Smith angrily asked.

‘Sorry, he kissed me on my mouth! The joker is lucky I didn’t sucker punch him’, a rather composed Smith told two women standing beside him.

Sauce Kid aka Sinzu

Some hours ago Nigerian rapper Babalola Falemi better known Sauce Kid was involved in a motor accident which could have cost him his life.

Sauce Kid in a convoy of two other cars had just left the SUB 69 night club in Magodo and was heading to Club Deuces on Victoria Island. The accident occurred at the junction of the Oregun road connecting the Opebi Link bridge and the road going towards Ojota, in Ikeja, Lagos.

Sauce was said to have been driving his Honda i-VTEC car in company of a female friend and was about to turn onto the Opebi Link road when an Audi Q7 coming from Ojota drove into his car. It remains uncertain who was at fault.

‘It happened so fast, I’m just glad nobody died, the accident looked pretty bad.‘, a source told NET.

His manager Chigoziem Azubueze Prince popularly called Chief Capo was said to have been riding the car that led the convoy.

Sauce is said to have sustained a minor injury to the head but is ‘okay’. His friend in the passenger’s seat escaped without any injuries. 

We’re told the driver and two other passengers in the Audi Q7 are also doing fine.

Despite the accident, Sauce and his friends still went partying at Club Deuces. Sauce tweeted ‘Glad I made it. Accidents, car totalled, but I’m living. Amen. L.O.K.O lifestyl‘.

‘Some things jus gotta go. Material things. Movin on to Godly things. Amen‘, he later tweeted.

By Pedro Pinto

Ronaldo and Messi

Cristiano Ronaldo reveals he thinks he is a better player than Lionel Messi, and Real Madrid is a better team than their fierce rivals, Barcelona. In an exclusive interview on CNN International’s ‘World Sport’, the Real Madrid and Portugal star tells CNN’s Pedro Pinto ‘Some people say I’m better, other people say it’s him, but at the end of the day they’re going to decide who is the best player at the moment, which I think is me’.

He adds that his penalty miss against Bayern in the Champions League semi-final was ‘one of the worst days’ of his career thus far and that he sees this Saturday’s final as too close to call.
