Celebs Get Their Fill of 'Hancock'
Flynet

Taking time out from building their Scientology-inspired learning compound, Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith showed up at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood last night for the premiere of Will's latest big-budget flick, Hancock.

In addition to costars Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron (who presumably showered for the event), Will was accompanied by Jamie Foxx, Amanda Peet, Queen Latifah, Sean Combs—or whatever he's calling himself these days—and Minnie Driver, who appeared to be about 13 months pregnant.

The film, loosely based on comic-book characters, tells the story of a troubled and reckless soul with superhuman powers.

Whether the movie will prove as powerful with moviegoing audiences as Smith's past Fourth of July offerings, remains to be seen. A USA Today review calls Hancock "poorly conceived and misguided," opining, "it almost feels as if everyone involved just gave up."

Awww, sounds like someone's a little jealous.

Quotables /
“So, there's "I'm Charlize Theron, and as such, I look good in just about anything," and then there's "I'm Charlize Theron, and I'm so tall and hot that I could show up in a dress that shoves my boobs down to my navel and is thinner than one-ply airport toilet paper, and pair it with bedazzled flip-flops, and you will SUCK IT UP AND LIKE IT."”

“Well, if it isn't my first celebrity crush. Teen Wolf Too here looks super-cute and I actually met him once on the Fox lot while they were still shooting Arrested Development. I did that thing where I was so nervous to meet him that I probably seemed really rude. Oh wait, I do that to everyone...

In any case, Jason recently told Keith Olberman that the Arrested movie is totally going to happen and that Charlize will be reprising her role as Rita. Yay! But back to the carpet here.

Valerie Bertinelli is showing off her skinny self. Did you know she lost that weight on Jenny and walking around with a vest that has weights in it? I love it. She looks great, but I'm still not sure how I feel about the pockets in dresses bit.

Oh how cute. Tatyana Ali, Will's Fresh Prince little sister was there, as well as Tia Mowry. Loved me some Sister Sister. The mid-90s was a very exciting time for hats.

Also featured in the gallery are Amanda Peet, Kevin James, Terrell Owens, Vanessa Williams, Tyrese, Damon Wayans, Chris Daughtry, Cheetah Girls and Virginia Madsen.

“Will "king of the July 4th box office" Smith premiered his new movie Hancock with the help of family and friends at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles last night. Hancock tells the story of a washed up and drunk superhero who needs saving himself; Will plays the fallen hero and Jason Bateman plays the publicist who wants to turn his image around. Also on hand were co-stars Charlize Theron as well as Jada Pinket, Jason's sister Justine (Mallory!) and Will's Fresh Prince co-star Tatyana Ali (Ashley Banks!).

Hancock opens on Independence Day and will no doubt open to big numbers but let's not forget it has Wanted to contend with who had a HUGE opening itself! Battle of the box office titans!”
“For about an hour now I've been gazing at this photo of Queen Latifah, wishing she were at a Pirates of the Caribbean event so that I could crack, "No, honey, it's 'Pirates,' not 'Pilates.'"

Alas, she's just at the premiere of Hancock, which doesn't lend itself to hilarious and easy workout puns. You'd think she could've shuffled around her schedule so that she didn't have to hit the red carpet on laundry day; maybe the fact that she's dressed to flee doesn't bode well for the anticipated quality of the movie. Indeed, you might say she's expecting it to be a real downward dog. ZING! Thank you! I'll be here all week! Try the chicken and tip your bartender.”

“Hancock's three biggest stars showed up at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood last night to soak up some fan worship, sign autographs, and just look pretty. Check out Will Smith, Jason Bateman and the lovely Charlize Theron at their movie event.”

“At least these Scientology sympathizers know how to dress. Jada knows green is her color and she works it. I so much prefer sultry, old-school glam Jada over her strange sometimes-mullet. That whole bit about her being a metal-head just confuses me.

And Will looks charming, in that suit. Like an old-timey accountant. But still, what's with those trendy kids? Stop it with the jeans. And stand up straight.”

“WILL: God DAMN, we are hot.

JADA: Hell yeah, baby.

WILL: We are the wickedest couple in the history of badassitude.

JADA: Not to mention dappertasticness.

WILL: And slickocity.

JADA: Sexification!

WILL: Jiggyificence!”

“She might not have any problems roughing it, but Charlize Theron definitely look like she took a shower for the red carpet at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre premiere of "Hancock."

I love the dress, even though for a second I could have sworn she was rocking a dookie chain. That color looks great on her and she's tall and confident enough in her womanly hotness to be rocking the flats. Meanwhile, God love Stuart, a shave would definitely not hurt.”

“So, I had planned to hit up the Gap at the Hollywood and Highland complex to return a dress, but was re-routed because of traffic from this premiere and will probably have to go tonight.

Needless to say, I saw Minnie Driver driving past me heading the opposite direction on Franklin toward the event. It makes sense that we would share our brief moment passing one another, since we did break the news of her pregnancy. It's like we speak a special twin language. I'll try to commune with her to figure out who that baby daddy is.”

“Here's Sean "What's His Name" Combs at the red carpet looking mighty casual. I would judge how casual he looks, wearing tennis shoes on the red carpet and whatnot, except that he's kind of dressed like my Michael Jackson doll wearing his shiny red "Thriller" jacket and so my heart melted a little. Also, Sean wants you to vote.

Now, I could be mistaken, but I believe he's rocking a very similar (if not the same) necklace as Angelina Jolie wore for her photo shoot for Entertainment Weekly. The one with the rifle on it. Not to be biased, but I do think she might have the better cleavage for it.

(CORRECTION: It looks like he's wearing a fancy cross. My bad.)”
