Brent Spiner to return for 'Independence Day 2'
Brent Spiner as Dr. Brackish Okun
Los Angeles - UPI
Brent Spiner will return for Independence Day 2.
The 66-year-old actor portrayed Dr. Brackish Okun in the original 1996 film, and will reprise the role in the sequel. Director Roland Emmerich revealed the news on Twitter Thursday.
"This just in... @JoeyKingActress and @BrentSpiner officially signed for #IndependenceDay - Welcome aboard!" he announced.
Jeff Goldblum, Vivica A. Fox and Bill Pullman will also return as David Levinson, Jasmine Dubrow and President Whitmore, respectively. The actors will appear alongside newcomers Liam Hemsworth, Jessie Usher and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Independence Day was directed by Emmerich, and saw U.S. Marine pilot Capt. Steven Hiller (Will Smith) lead a counterattack against alien invaders. Spiner's character appeared to die in the movie, but it seems Okun will be revived in some capacity.
Spiner is best known for portraying Lt. Commander Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation and in four Star Trek films. Newcomer Joey King is a 15-year-old actress who played Ramona Quimby in Ramona and Beezus.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
