Last night, Charlize Theron presented good friend Will Smith with the Humanitarian Award from the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

When Smith took a break from being honored by friends and family, he and wife Jada Pinkett-Smith went on Rumor Control with Extra.
Smith was asked who he thinks makes a better black James Bond – himself, P. Diddy or Jamie Foxx.
Smith, responds, “Puff probably lives the most like James Bond… Jamie Foxx got the swag for James Bond. He can sing too, so he can add a new element to Bond. Wooing the ladies…And I think I can guarantee the box office!”
But don’t count Foxx out of the running. Smith told Extra's Mario Lopez that he wouldn’t mind donning the 007 tux. “Might be kind of cool. What would my drink be? Not vodka. I’d have to drink Hennessy or something like that. Little yak attack for James Biz-ond!”
Not that Smith is a stranger to playing big screen secret agents. Having played Agent J in two Men in Black blockbusters, Smith has good news for everybody hoping to see him fight aliens again alongside Tommy Lee Jones. “We've had a couple of meetings. We're looking at it. The team has committed, so we have to do it service with the creative part of it. Everyone is on board, so we will see what happens.”
Pinkett-Smith was busy shooting down the rampant rumors that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are set to send little Suri to Will and Jada’s Calabasas school, New Village Academy. Pinkett-Smith tells “Extra,” “No, Suri is not going to the school. That’s just rumors.”
“Extra’s” interview with Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith airs tonight.
