'Tropic Thunder' Premiere Brings Out the Boys

'Tropic Thunder' Premiere Brings Out the Boys

The Tropic Thunder premiere in Westwood featured a star-studded red carpet as impressive as those who attended the premiere of competing summer comedy Pineapple Express. The film's stars Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. all showed for the event. Hollywood power couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes also lent their support to Thunder mania, but were conspicuously out of town for Scientology's recent annual gala.

Tom has a recurring bit part in the film about a group of self-absorbed actors who unwittingly find themselves struggling to survive in the middle of a real-life war. Wife Katie took a break from her rigorous Broadway rehearsal schedule and jeans-rolling activities to stand by her hubby.

Jodie Foster flashed a wan smile on the red carpet, possibly already exhausted by Jack Black's antics. A bearded Tobey Maguire looked much happier than the last time the paparazzi flashed their bulbs at him.

And Matthew McConaughey looks like he just happened to be chillin' when he stumbled upon the event and thought, "Hey this looks cool. Maybe these guys have some weed."

Quotables /
“Ok, I'm not sure what he's doing, but whatever it is, it's sleazy. He was probably smart not to show up in blackface. That probably would have been taking the joke a little far.”
Socialite Life
“If anyone was gonna boycott "Tropic Thunder," I thought for sure it would be the blacks, but the retards struck first. Checkmate!”
“Jodie Foster is looking like a new woman since she switched up lady friends. Who knew Tropic Thunder was her kind of flick. Is the new girlfriend the producer? She seems more like a documentary-type girl as opposed to watching Jack Black waddling his fat, unfunny ass through the jungle.”
Socialite Life
“Katie Holmes and husband Tom Cruise arrive on the red carpet of the Los Angeles premiere of Tropic Thunder at the Mann’s Village Theater in Los Angeles on Monday.”
Just Jared
“I want to take that jacket off Jack Black's back and smother him with it. It's really bothering me. You can turn off the shtick for two seconds, Black.”
Socialite Life
“Tom Cruise tried to claw back the years last night by hitting the red carpet in a casual chic ensemble. His white pumps were set off by a trendy pair of jeans and a v neck sweater.

Katie meanwhile had pulled out all the stops in a curvacious navy blue dress, leaving Tom looking a little underdressed in comparison.”
Splash News Online
“Tom plays a fat, bald guy in the disabled/black people-mocking film. Way to come correct, Tom.

Katie's not wearing jeans, but she still looks like she's been cutting her own hair without a mirror.”

    OMG, socialite, it seems that you have such a lame arse view of actors that have done well, maybe you were once an aspiring actor but you were so shit yourself that you have to slam achievers because you were so crap at making it yourself. PUSSY!
