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.

If there's one thing that Hollywood seems
to love, it's a good ol' romantic comedy about a wedding. That was the
topic of the evening as pregnant actress Kate Hudson premiered her
latest film, 'Something Borrowed' at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in
Hollywood on Tuesday, May 3, 2011.
Hudson, who is expecting her
first child with Muse rocker Matt Bellamy, looked radiant as she posed
for photographs, in a gown that accentuated her very obvious baby bump.
The 32-year old actress accessorized with a gold clutch bag from
Ferragamo, stud earrings and the huge diamond engagement ring she
recently showed off during an appearance on 'The Today Show.'
Also
in attendance at the premiere were Ginnifer Goodwin, Hilary Swank, John
Krasinski, Mayim Bialik, Natasha Beddingfield Kristin Cavallari and
British actor Colin Egglesfield - who plays Kate's fiance in the film
which opens Friday.
At an earlier press day for the film, the
Oscar-nominated actress mused on what having another child would do to
her career choices.
"I think now what's happening to me is that
I'm shifting," Hudson, who also has a seven-year-old son from her first
marriage, explained. "There are always different times and shifts in
your life, especially when you have kids. Now I'm going to have two
kids. Meaning that making 'Something Borrowed' was probably the last
time that I would be able to do something on a whim, to just pack up and
go away. The kids are the priority." (photo by © 2011 Joe Martinez / PictureLux)

ends up in the arms of the guy she's had a crush on since law school,
Dex (Colin Egglesfield)... who just happens to be Darcy's fiancé.

Veteran actor Peter O'Toole made a real
impression in Hollywood on Saturday, April 30, 2011 by joining a select
few who have left their mark on a Los Angeles sidewalk.
The
'Lawrence Of Arabia' star attracted a big crowd as he placed his hands
and feet in wet cement outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in celebration
of his illustrious film career.
The ceremony was part of the 2011
TCM Classic Film Festival honoring classic film and movie stars. The 78
year old was cheered by fans and proved that he still has an eye for
the ladies by planting a big kiss on actress Rose MCGowan's lips.
On
hand, along with O'Toole's family, were Barbara Hershey, Anjelica
Huston, Rose McGowan, Illeana Douglas, Richard Benjamin, Paula Prentiss
and Turner Classic Movie's own Robert Osborne.
Although a bit
frail-looking, the dapper star was in high spirits and joked with the
onlookers. He demonstrated how he used to carry cement before becoming
an actor and quipped: "It's been many years since I had an intimate
relationship with cement." (© 2011 Joe Martinez / PictureLux)

The stars of 'Sucker Punch' dashed from their Limos, eluded puddles and rushed in to the heated and tented red carpet, all in an effort to avoid the downpour and keep their gowns dry. There they joined director Zack Snyder and his wife Deborah, who produced the film.
The young ladies were joined by fellow cast members Carla Gugino and Scott Glenn as well as teen heartthrob Joe Jonas, Dancing with the Stars' Derek Hough, and other up-and-comers like Emma Roberts and Juno Temple. Hollywood veterans like John Hamm (also in the film) and A-lister Diane Lane did their best to ignore the inclement weather and joined the festivities as well.Fans gathered on Hollywood Boulevard Wednesday morning to mourn the passing of one of the world's most beloved Hollywood Icons, Elizabeth taylor, and making her star on the Walk of Fame a makeshift shrine to the Actress.
The child actor
who became a Hollywood icon, known for her radiant beauty and turbulent
off-screen personal life and star of such films as 'Giant,' 'Cleopatra,'
'Butterfield 8' and 'Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' died at
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles Wednesday morning March 30,
2011 from congestive heart failure. She had been plagued by ill-health
for many years and had been in the hospital recently with heart problems
- she was 79.
Taylor lived almost her entire life in the glare
of the media spotlight, not only for her Hollywood stardom but also for
her soap opera personal life which overshadowed her great acting career
from age 50 on. Nevertheless, she managed to overcome even the tabloids
by becoming the torch bearer and high profile activist for AIDS research
as friends like Rock Hudson and Roddy McDowall succumbed to the
disease.

The classic tale is re-imagined in this latest big screen version of 'Red Riding Hood. Gone is the sweet little girl depicted by the Brothers Grimm and a much darker tale is depicted.
Although rumored to be dating Ryan Phillippe, Amanda Seyfried opted to go solo to the Los Angeles premiere of 'Red Riding Hood' at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Monday, March 7, 2011. It was later revealed that he was at the after-party.
Seyfried tells USA today that she loved the darker feel of the movie. "I read the script and I was like, a murder mystery and some sex, why not?" she laughed. "It's our own version and it's not supposed to be exactly what we knew as children. It's a fun direction, it's for a lot of young audiences. All the relationships in the movie and the way we communicate in the movie are very contemporary but it's set in this medieval dark, Gothic town."
The Red carpet guest list included co-stars Gary Oldman, Virginia Madsen, Shiloh Fernandez, Max Irons, Adrian Holmes, Michael Shanks, Kacey Rohl as well as director Catherine Hardwicke. Also spotted were American Idol's top 13, red carpet-ready for their first movie premiere.
