It looks as though Agent J will be without his leading lady for Men In Black 2. Numerous reports are confirming that Patrick Warburton (you know, Elaine's "main squeeze" Puddy from Seinfeld) is set to play Will Smith's new partner.

Previous speculation maintained that the ending of Men In Black hinted at Linda Fiorentino's return as J's partner, but this latest piece of casting news seems to indicate otherwise. Also confirmed to be returning for the sequel is Tommy Lee Jones, who will reprise his role as Agent K.

All that is known about the plot, thus far, is that Agent J is sent to retrieve Agent K from his retirement and restore his memory, so that they can use his knowledge to overcome the latest alien infestation.
