Here's someone we don't hear from often: Jean-Claude Van Damme. The Muscles From Brussels, as Wikipedia calls him, is (happily?) married, but that doesn't stop him from hitting on poor Newsweek reporters during interviews about his latest film creation. It's glorious, and almost akin to watching animals mate. You know you should look away, but you can't. See his Mystery-worthy technique after the jump.
Bonus: While searching on Mollygood for previous Jean-Claude items, I came across this old school post, which has become the greatest gift I've ever unintentionally received (video also after the jump). Enjoy. CONTINUED »
David Blaine seems to have fully recovered from his Drop of Death Gone Wrong '08 and even scored himself an invitation to last night's NYC premiere of Milk. Seriously? The event hosted all of Hollywood's popular (and good-looking) leading men and David Effing Blaine was invited? This is an outrage.
Not only did Blaine cause the event to lose major street cred — he also adversely affected the attractiveness of every male in attendance. Seriously, what the hell happened to these guys? Even Chace Crawford, who is usually the prettiest girl at the ball, arrived looking like he had been beaten up in the school parking lot by a couple of hobos. Thanks for nothing, Blaine. Go back to your lair and don't come out until you've devised another fake stunt.
• Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are celebrating two years of their creepy, bizarre marriage. [DListed]
• Amy Winehouse's drug-filled beehive is back. Everyone can relax. [ICYDK]
• Mariah Carey knows how to get the pregnancy rumor mill churning: Cover up and touch your stomach. [PS]
• Jessica Simpson continues to mutilate her face. [HT]
• Twilight star Robert Pattinson is going to have some sort of nervous breakdown in the very near future. It's inevitable. [INO]
• Life is tough for Kim Kardashian. [Yeeeah]
A band of poodles showed up last night at the NYC screening of Filth and Wisdom, a Madonna-directed short film about gypsies. Seriously, why were Madge and Lindsay Lohan trying so desperately to look alike? Although, to be fair, they do appear to be about the same age.

So last night I was invited to the premiere of Hounddog, the film that caused a lot of controversy a while back because it features a Dakota Fanning rape scene. After watching the movie, I can safely say that the fuss was overblown, but that's probably obvious at this point.
On to the good stuff: The red carpet! Where my spot along the velvet ropes was labeled "Whittle Little, Jossip.com." Awesome. CONTINUED »
STOP THE PRESSES! "Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston could reunite at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, when the exes are debuting their new flicks just two days apart."
Katie Holmes flew across the country from her Broadway rehearsals to attend husband Tom Cruise's Tropic Thunder premiere last night in LA, because no Cruise-related event is complete without Katie's dead eyes and silent cries for help. We're hoping Katie just ate more lettuce leaves than normal, because if that's a baby bump we should probably start stocking up on bottled water and flashlights.

We hope and pray to Xenu that Katie Holmes has not started a new trend of … whatever the hell is going on here. The baggy jeans rolled up with a nice blouse and scarf? We don't get it. Apparently, however, Amanda Peet does get it, because she was seen sporting a similar look on the red carpet of the Pineapple Express premiere.

Last night was the LA premiere of James Franco and Seth Rogen's weed-filled Pineapple Express, which attracted a vast array of celebrities. Nobody quite knows for sure how Adrianne Curry was invited, but those in attendance were graced with the presence of Kanye West and his odd shoes. You win some, you lose some.
Prepare to be bombarded with pictures after the jump. CONTINUED »
Which celebrity decided to get all gussied up for his movie premiere? CONTINUED »
The Dark Knight premiere in Barcelona yesterday marked Christian Bale's first public appearance since the media circus exploded over allegations he assaulted his mother and sister. And then, of course, there's PETA's unimportant claims that he also beats dogs. The great thing about Bale is that he doesn't act like a diva — although he bypassed reporters on the red carpet, he posed for lots of pictures and then spent an extended period of time signing autographs for all his fans. And we also love him because he's honest, like in a recent interview in which he opened up about his temper:
Everyone loses their shit on occasions, don’t they? Like, ‘Oh God, what demon possessed me to do that?’ … My wife gets to live with a variety of men. Some of them she likes, some of them she doesn’t. There are ones people like and others that they say, ‘Man we’re glad you’re finished with that project. You were an asshole.’
To be fair, we still don't believe he did anything horrible to his mother and sister over the weekend. He would have admitted it by now.

Last night a dreary and overcast New York City was treated to the premiere of The Dark Knight, which featured a black carpet. The stars of the movie and all the D-listers in attendance followed suit by dressing in the somber hue, except for a select few (Regis, we're looking at you).
Lots of pictures after the jump. CONTINUED »
The reviews for Hancock, which had its grand premiere yesterday in Hollywood, are here. And they’re not very good, unfortunately. According to various reviewers, despite the great cast and excellent concept, the movie starts to suck in the second half. Incidentally, these are almost the exact same reviews that I Am Legend got last December, and it ended up breaking box office records. So its doubtful that Will Smith is very worried.
After the jump, more premiere pics and some review excerpts.
Adam Sandler walked the red carpet of his new film, You Don't Mess With the Zohan, looking like a homeless man among a sea of designer duds. He's on something, no?

Last night's Sex and the City movie premiere wasn't all Manolos and butterflies — a large crowd of pathetic twenty-somethings was stuck outside Radio City Music Hall, despite possessing invitations to the event. Turns out the venue was oversold by 2,000 tickets. Whoops!
Despite this, look for all of the shunned guests to spend $11 on movie tickets this weekend after enjoying one too many cosmos with their girlfriends while on the prowl for a real-life Mr. Big. Feminism at its finest. CONTINUED »
It has descended upon us: The Sex and the City movie premiered last night in New York City, much to the delight of … Eli Manning? He was one of the guests in attendance, for reasons unknown, at the type of over-the-top shindig that should only be reserved for stuff like the second coming of Xenu.
The pictures (and there are many) are after the jump. CONTINUED »
Michelle Williams has taken a few months to mourn the passing of former partner Heath Ledger and decided to come out of hiding last night in Cannes. Although she did not star in Adoration, Michelle showed up for the premiere anyway, prompting reporters everywhere to declare the mourning period officially over. Because showing up at an event to be photographed obviously means she has completely moved on.

A very pregnant Angelina Jolie dragged Brad Pitt to the Cannes premiere of her new movie, The Changeling. Either Angie is about to pop or there are even more babies in there than we previously suspected.
