6-12 - A bunch of pretty but unfamiliar Hollywood starlets
gathered at L.A.’s Century Plaza Hotel for a fashion
show, but all of their dates were even cuter. The Fabrese
fashion show and Jeep Yappy Hour included a runway show of
G.W. Little’s newest designs for canines, and the pups
were the real stars here. Rescue organization Amanda Foundation
reaped the benefit. Oh, wait a minute, there’s one pretty
blonde we recognize, Hilary Duff.
Some
cute Europeans invaded Hollywood this week. A Brit named William
Shakespeare had a lucky break; they made a movie out of a
play he wrote called The Merchant of Venice. The
premiere at the ArcLight in Hollywood brought out Will’s
homies like Joseph Fiennes. Yank Al
Pacino, who plays Shylock, must have been busy fox
hunting or something, and didn’t attend.
We guess
the French are as concerned about piracy as their American
counterparts. Like U.S. films that premiere all over the world
to thwart the practice, French flick A Very Long Engagement
received the red carpet treatment at Mann’s Chinese
Theatre. The delicious Audrey Tautou and
Gaspard Ulliel star in the WW1 drama.
One of
the things the stars of After the Sunset liked best
about shooting the film in the Bahamas was Salma Hayek
in a bikini. Unfortunately, it was way too cold at the New
York premiere for Salma to model them.
Actors
Maggie Gyllenhaal and Ed Harris
joined the literary crowd at the Paris Review Foundation’s
annual dinner, reading from honoree William Styron’s
works.
Victoria’s
Secret models concluded the Angels Across America promotional
tour in L.A., at the Grove. Sticking their hands into cement
for a VS version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Gisele
Bundchen commented, “We’re getting our
hands dirty. We’re doing some real work.”
