Reese Witherspoon brings Christmas to Hollywood!

Last night was a joyous event as Christmas came early in Hollywood with Reese Witherspoon and cast members of Warner Bros'/New Line's "Four Christmases" celebrated its world premiere at the Grauman's Chinese Theater.




"Four Christmases" is about an unhappy couple that are stranded in the city by the Christmas morning fog that ruins their exotic vacation plans. Having to deal with the cards they are given, they must now celebrate their Christmas with relatives that they have been avoiding during the past holidays.

With flocked Christmas trees abound on the red carpet, it felt like Christmas was here already. Even the stars looked like they donned their Christmas best to attend a christmas dinner. With three of the young cast members attending, they had smiles for all the photogs to shoot. The tween and pre-teen talent included True Bella, Skyler Gisondo and Zak Boggan.

For the adult set, Kristin Chenoweth looked all lovely with her burgundy dress along with Charlie McDowell on her side.

Mary Steenburgen wore a glittery black number while the star of the film, Reese Witherspoon donned a one piece evening dress accented with gold topped off with a muted gold necklace. For co-star Katy Mixon, she opted with a hot pink skin tight dress which caused all the photogs to hoot and holler trying to get her attention to pose for the cameras. She definitely wooed the crowd as a few photogs shouted, "Let me see the back of the dress." Hmm...is that what they only wanted to see. Bad boys on the carpet.

Sissy Spacek had her lovely country demeanor while she was accompanied by daughter Shuyler. Veteran actor Robert Duvall looked all stoic as he posed for the cameras. It was a bit funny when one photog kept asking Mr. Duvall to take one step to the side but Duvall just kept looking straight at the photog's camera. Mr. Photog stop complaining, you got a Duvall headshot!

Unfortunately, lead co-star to Reese, Vince Vaughn was missing in action. Maybe he was looking for that perfect Christmas present.

"Four Christmases" opens November 26, 2008 just in time for Thanksgiving movie going weekend. Take the family!

Hudson and McConaughey Search for "Fool's Gold" on Hollywood Blvd

Brrrrr...It's cold in here. There must be something in the atmosphere. Opps, wrong movie. But it definitely was brrrrr cold night for the "Fool's Gold" world premiere at the Grauman's Chinese Theater last night. The wind was also playing tricks on the ladies dresses and the men's styled hair. The wind was so strong that a fellow photographer was almost knocked to the ground but of course your very own blogger grab a hold of the photographer before he could hit the ground.

As for the female lead, Miss Kate Hudson was fashionably late but we forgave her because of her beautiful smile and happy go lucky attitude.



In "Fool's Gold," Hudson plays Tess Finnegan, the lovely wife of Ben "Finn" Finnegan (Matthew McConaughey). All is not good with Tess and Finn as the treasure hunter obsessed with finding the legendary 18th Century Queen's Dowry of exotic treasures lost at sea in 1715 sinks their marriage. After taking control of her own life by working on billionaire Nigel Honeycutt's (Donald Sutherland) yacht, Finn comes back into the picture when he discovers a secret to finding the treasure and uses his charm and witts to manipulate Honeycutt into joining him on the quest for the dowries. Along the way, against her own better judgement, Tess falls back in love with Finn.



The smile on Kate Hudson's face made many event photographers forget that they've been waiting at least 21/2hrs in the bitter windy cold night, to snap the lovable Hudson.



Earlier in the evening, film director Andy Tennant's wife Sharon had her own wardrobe malfunction as she stepped out of their limo. A breeze lifted her dress within seconds of her exiting the limo. Sharon had to dive back in and wrap her coat around her waist.



Sharon wasn't the only one with major malfunctions. Matthew McConaughey's fiance, Camilla Alves had to put her coat back on as the wind played tricks with her dress by blowing the front of the dress upwards. Thank god she was quick to react by putting her purse down in front of her dress.



As for the coldness, I have to give major kudos to Alexis Dziena (plays Donald Sutherland's daughter in the film) as she posed for the photographers for at least 20 to 30 mins without a moment of putting her coat back on. She definitely was a trouper as I shouted to Alexis, "Think of your warm location shoots from the movie." She replied back, "Warm thoughts! Warm thoughts!"





For Donald, his hair was tossed about as the wind started back up on Hollywood Blvd.



Well, it's time for me to take a warm shower and keep me warm for the next movie premiere - "The Eye" starring Jessica Alba.

Until next time on the red carpet, "Over the shoulder!"

"Fool's Gold" opens this coming February 8, 2008. Check your local listings for the theater near you.
