The World Premiere of "How Do You Know"

The World Premiere of "How Do You Know"

December 13, 2010 Mann Village Theater, Westwood, CA.

 

 

It has been quite sometime since James L. Brooks stepped behind a camera to direct a flick, the Adam Sandler dude "Spanglish" doesn't really count I guess. However the comedy ensemble from Columbia Pictures "How Do You Know" http://www.howdoyouknow-movie.com/  promises to delight unless you read the reviews; anywho this evening was a benefit for AFI http://www.afi.com/ which is always the kiss of death for us because guests have to pay for tickets and with celebrities being used to getting everything gratis they stay away and then it turns into a glorified cast and crew screening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well despite the less than stellar turnout we got ol' Jack on the red carpet, he doesn't do many red carpets these days and can be quite unpredictable in the posing department but I got lucky that evening and snagged Mr. Nicholson. Perhaps it was the fact that his daughter was just down the road a bit with the grand kids or it may have been a request from a photographer to get some photos of the classic wiseguy without his trademark sunglasses. He just gave the Cherish er cat grin and said "You must be new"

 

In addition to Jack Nicholson, who won two Oscars with James L. Brooks in "Terms Of Endearment" and "As Good As It Gets" shared the red carpet with another Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon. Paul Rudd, Kathryn Hahn and Owen Wilson rounded out the cast making the jaunt down the carpeta rojo. 

 

 

 

It was also great to see Jane Fonda who had a health scare with breast cancer earlier in the year and at 72 still looks awesome anyone else remeber "Barbarella"? But I have to say that one cougar that still looks mighty fine is Marilu Henner at 58, she should do "Dancing With The Stars"

*Highlight of the evening was that tall drink of water Jennie Finch http://jenniefinch.com/ of the U.S. Olympic Softball Team, normally I am not into sports types but she is one exceptional athlete hubbahubba

Gwyneth Paltrow Star Ceremony

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow Honored With A Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame

December 13, 2010 6931 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA.

 

Its' been said that musicians want to act and actors want to try their hand at making music, sometimes with success and other times with horrible results IE Justin Timberlake meet Joaquin Phoenix. So on this warm and sunny late morning the daughter of actress Blythe Danner and late television producer Bruce Paltrow; Gwyneth Paltrow is honored by her own merit with the 2,427th Star on the Legendary Hollywood Walk Of Fame http://www.hollywoodchamber.net/ right in front of Madame Tussauds Hollywood. Just on the eve of her premiere for "Country Strong" http://www.countrystrong-movie.com/. Costar Tim McGraw was present to give good thoughts about his experience working with Gwyneth and lucky for us he brought his hot wife Faith Hill!!!

Of course for all you Gleeks out there Matthew Morrison was there too!

 But I have to say the only thing that really bothered me was that Gwyneth spent a good portion of the time staring at the floor and if I hear anyone say that dreaded word she is "shy" I am going to blow a gasket

*Highlight was just next door they were filming the Muppet Movie and I could swear I saw Kemit and Miss Piggy!!!! Oh and Jason Segel and Amy Adams were there too big deal...
