Will Smith's Epic "Men in Black" Performance Steals the Show at Coachella 2024

Will Smith made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2024, joining J Balvin on stage for a memorable performance. The duo performed at the Coachella Stage on April 14, 2024, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, as part of the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

During the performance, J Balvin introduced Will Smith, who appeared on stage dressed as his iconic character, Agent J, from the 1997 movie "Men in Black." Smith delighted the audience by performing his rendition of the film's title track, complete with rap and dance moves reminiscent of his music video from that time.

Smith's appearance at Coachella was a nod to his role in the "Men in Black" franchise, where he played Agent J, a former NYPD detective recruited to a secret organization dealing with extraterrestrial matters. The song "Men in Black" was from Smith's debut solo album "Big Willie Style," which earned him a Grammy Award in 1998.

Despite his success with the "Men in Black" films, Smith almost turned down the role. He had just finished filming "Independence Day" and didn't want to do two extraterrestrial films back-to-back. However, Steven Spielberg, the film's executive producer, persuaded Smith to take on the role by sending a helicopter to get him from New York.

Smith's Coachella performance ended with him playfully using the Neuralyzer from the "Men in Black" movie to pretend to erase the audience's memory. J Balvin then returned to the stage to continue his set with a performance of his hit song "In Da Ghetto," accompanied by his dancers.

Smith's appearance at Coachella comes ahead of his return as detective Mike Lowrey in the upcoming film "Bad Boys 4," where he reunites with Martin Lawrence for the sequel, set to be released on June 7, 2024. The film will continue the adventures of detective duo Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, following the last installment, "Bad Boys for Life," released in 2020.

Biden administration delays proposed ban on menthol cigarettes

 A proposed ban on menthol cigarettes in the US “will take significantly more time,” US Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement Friday, delaying a decision that had posed political risks for President Joe Biden as he runs for re-election. “This rule has garnered historic attention and the public comment period has yielded an immense amount of feedback, including from various elements of the civil rights and criminal justice movement,” Becerra said. “It’s clear that there are still more conversations to have, and that will take significantly more time.” An administration official declined to specify further what the current timeline for a final decision might be, saying there was a need to speak with more groups and work through the concerns that have been raised. “Hard to put a timeline on that,” the official said. All flavors in cigarettes were banned in 2009, but menthol was left out after lobbying from the industry. The  US Food and Drug Administra

Sky Spectacular: Lyrid Meteor Shower and Pink Moon Show

Sky-watchers, get ready for a celestial double feature! Following the recent total solar eclipse, the Lyrid meteor shower is set to dazzle just before the arrival of April's full moon, known as the pink moon. While the moon's brightness might dim the show, experts suggest some tricks to make the most of this spectacle. The Lyrid meteor shower will peak on Sunday night into Monday morning, offering a glimpse of up to 18 meteors per hour. However, the bright pink moon, reaching its full phase on Tuesday at 7:49 p.m. ET, could obscure some of the fainter meteors. This cosmic display will be most visible in the Northern Hemisphere, as the radiant point of the meteors won't rise high enough in the Southern Hemisphere for optimal viewing. To catch a glimpse of a Lyrid meteor, experts recommend letting your eyes adjust to the darkness for at least 10 to 15 minutes before trying to spot one. It's advised not to use telescopes or binoculars, as these devices have a n
