'The Love Guru' Takes a Bow

"Mariska Hargitay! Mariska Hargitay!" No, we're not talking about the actress, we mean the blessing of happiness and tranquillity that peppers Mike Myers' new comedy The Love Guru.

It kept the peace last night, as fans lined Hollywood Boulevard to catch a glimpse of the funnyman and buddy Justin Timberlake at the famed Grauman's Chinese Theater.

Alas, J.T. left the renowned Speedo in the drawer for the night—probabably a bummer for Myers, who has readily admitted to a "man crush" on the "SexyBack" star. "I will confirm that [adoration]," he told Us magazine.

He recalls the water wear quite fondly, though. "What is amazing about the Speedo is they had to do a lot of special effects to reduce the size. Oh, yeah, you heard it here first, folks!"

Also on hand were the hockey flick's stars Meagan Good, Verne Troyer (who actually is shorter than the Stanley Cup), Telma Hopkins, Romany Malco and Mariska Hargitay herself.

No doubt watching the recap on Access Hollywood was Jessica Alba, who just delivered baby Honor Marie Warren five days earlier. Safe to assume those mammaries need to stay in their corral for just a bit longer.

Click into the gallery at right for all the festivities—and check out the flick's first music video, featuring a belly-dancing Alba.

Quotables /

“Justin Timberlake was a red carpet cutup at last night's premiere of Mike Myers' latest exercise in annoyance wacky comedy 'The Love Guru' at Hollywood's Grauman's Chinese Theater.

If you've been living under a rock and haven't seen one of the nine bajillion commercials for the flick, this is the flick where Justin rocks a speedo, curly wig and exquisite moustache that would make Jason Lee jealous playing randy - and rather well-endowed - hockey player Jacques 'Le Coq' Grande.

Mike, who is still trying to be this generations Peter Sellers (not even close, dude), cast Justin in the role after seeing his performance on 'Saturday Night Live' back in December of 2006, where he sang that little ditty with Andy Samberg about putting one's anatomy in a gaily wrapped box and offering it as a gift for one's romantic partner.

Justin's glad to share the screen with such a big star as Mike - as well as having his own 'big star' packed into his pants. He joked in a recent interview that, 'I'm starting to realize that I'm digging myself a nice big hole of penile humor.'

What's he digging that hole with - Le Coq? Sorry, I couldn't resist.”

“Mike Myers and his new buddy and costar Justin Timberlake looked like they were posing for a promotional poster for an modern-day version of "My Two Dads." In actuality, the scene is the red-carpet for their movie together The Love Guru in Hollywood.

Timberlake talked about his scant wardrobe on the set of the film, telling the press, "There's nothing worse than wearing Speedo on a film. Sexy and what I wore in this film should never be in the same sentence." Liar.

Romany Malco and Telma Hopkins both also star in the film and God love Telma, but I think someone needs to tell her that her bra is holding one of her breasts hostage.”
