Cher, Rosario Dawson and Leslie Bibb hit the premiere of their new film, "Zookeeper", on Wednesday, July 6, 2011 at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles.
The comedy, out this Friday, July 8, centers on “a group of zoo animals that decide to break their code of silence in order to help their lovable zookeeper (Kevin James) find love.”
Also in attendance, aside from the 50 or so PETA protestors, were star of the film Kevin James, Ken Jeong, Jon Favreau, Leah Remini and Donnie Walhlberg among others.
Sign wielding PETA group members were protesting the film for alleged cruelty to animals, a claim Sony Pictures and director Frank Coraci have denied.
According to Entertainmnet Weekly, Julia Galleucci, an animal behavior specialist with PETA, wrote,”PETA is calling upon moviegoers to boycott the film in order to send a message to Hollywood that audiences care about what happens to these animals behind the scenes.”
Director Frank Coraci told EW “It doesn’t hamper my good mood or my celebration at all because I am completely secure with what happened on our set and believe we did everything we could to treat the animals well,"

All eyes were on Jennifer Aniston as she
hit the red carpet for her latest film, "Horrible Bosses" premiering at
Grauman's Chinese theater on Thursday, June 30, 2011.
Looking
stunning at the premiere in a Balenciaga "little black dress" that
showed off her toned figure, Jennifer smiled and waved for the cameras
as boyfriend Justin Theroux, 39, avoided the commotion and slipped
inside the premiere through a separate entrance. The couple have
reportedly been dating for about a month and met last autumn when they
worked together on the film, "Wanderlust."
Other red carpet
notables included Jennifer Love Hewitt in a red skin-tight Herve Leger
dress, Alyssa Milano and her growing baby bump, Jennifer's BFF Chelsea
Handler and movie co-stars Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jamie Foxx. (

About the film:
Management
candidate Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman) has been logging 12-hour days
and eating everything his twisted supervisor Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey)
dishes out, toward the promise of a well-earned promotion. But now he
knows that's never going to happen. Meanwhile, dental assistant Dale
Arbus (Charlie Day) has been struggling to maintain his self-respect
against the relentless X-rated advances of Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S.
(Jennifer Aniston), when she suddenly turns up the heat. And accountant
Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis) has just learned that his company's
corrupt new owner, Bobby Pellit (Colin Farrell), is not only bent on
ruining his career but plans to funnel toxic waste into an unsuspecting
population.
What can you do when your boss is a psycho, a man-eater or a total tool?
Quitting
is not an option. These monsters must be stopped. So, on the strength
of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con
whose street cred is priced on a sliding scale (Jamie Foxx), the guys
devise a convoluted but foolproof plan to rid the world of their
respective employers... permanently. But even the best-laid plans are only as good as the brains behind them.
