Is Yaz Flight of the Conchords' Jemaine Clement? Sacha Baron Cohen? A risky oral contraceptive? The U.S. name of British synth-pop band Yazoo?

Bloody Disgusting sort of reveals!:

Columbia Pictures is officially having conversations regarding their third entry in the Men in Black franchise as we're being told by industry insiders that in addition to Jonah Hex cowboy Josh Brolin likely (still unconfirmed) to star, they've shown strong interest in both Sacha Baron Cohen (Sweeney Todd, Bruno) and Jemaine Clement ("The Flight of the Conchords") for a character named "Yaz"

Sounds great. I've always thought there should be a Men in Black character associated with
Heart attacks
Stroke
Deep vein thrombosis (severe blood clotting)
Pulmonary embolism (typically a blockage of the main artery of the lung)
Sudden death
Gallbladder Disease
Blood Clots
Headaches
Increased appetite
Decreased sexual activity and desire
Non-cyclical menstrual bleeding and spotting
Sporadic increases in weight
Vomiting
Stomach pains
Nausea
Vaginal discharge
Vaginal yeast infections
Vaginal irritation and regular discharge
Freckling of the skin or visibility of dark spots
Loss of hair
Swelling of the hands and feet
Changes in the menstrual cycle
Ocular irritation, mainly experienced with contact lens users
Loss of appetite
Mood swings or changes in emotional behavior
Abnormal sleeping patterns or sudden insomnia
Physical weakness
Chest pains combined with nausea and profuse sweating
Pains in the arms, shoulders, and chest
Breast lump(s)
Yellowing of the skin or eyes (symptoms of jaundice)
Severe, prolonged stomach pains coupled with loss of appetite
Constant severe migraines
Numbness or weakness in any part of the body
and
Problems with vision or speech, loss of equilibrium

Or maybe just like another sassy, street smart guy, y'know?
