Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans
"Independence Day" Sequel, Who's In & Who's Out? : More alien butt-kicking will start on July 3, 2015 when the "Independence Day" sequel hits theaters, but who will wage a fight for the planet and who will sit this one out? Director Roland Emmerich says Will Smith is "too expensive" and will not return. He further explained the no-Smith situation, telling The Huffington Post, "We gave him our very first script and he liked it very much. He said, 'Look, I don't want to go there anymore because I was a different person than I am now. And I have so many other projects that I want to do.'" However, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman - who appeared in the 1996 blockbuster - along with a new gay character will fight for Earth's future. Read more with Roland! (P.S. the dog, Boomer - who narrowly escapes that fiery blast in the tunnel - won't be getting a call from the director!)
