Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber will star as aliens in the forthcoming Men in Black III film, director Barry Sonnenfeld has confirmed.

Gaga was previously linked to a cameo in the film after Will Smith let slip in an interview that she may feature alongside several celebrity guests.

However, director Barry Sonnenfeld has confirmed in an interview with Collider that Gaga, Justin Bieber and Tim Burton will all appear on an alien surveillance board, which in previous films has featured Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Sylvester Stallone. The late Michael Jackson also starred in Men In Black 2 as Agent M.

Speaking of the castings, Sonnerfeld said is was difficult to find celebrities that will still be recognizable in years to come: "The challenge is getting celebrities that are famous, will give you permission and won't be like 'Who's that guy?' in 10 years". He added:

In this [film] there are a few people that youll see up on the surveillance board including Lady Gaga, Tim Burton, who probably knows more about aliens then I do, and lets see who else . . . Justin Bieber . . .

Men In Black 3 is due to hit UK cinemas on 25th May.

Lady Gaga announced last week (April 16) that she will play a second show at London's Twickenham Sadium this autumn. The singer, who was already scheduled to perform at the 60,000 capacity venue on September 8, will now play the following day too. ?

Gaga is touring Europe as part of her 'Born This Way Ball' tour, will also play Manchester's Evening News Arena on September 11 and a one-off date in Ireland at Dublin's Aviva Stadium four days later. The Darkness will support t! he singe r on all four dates.
