OK, I'll admit it: When I first saw the
teaser trailer for Watchmen, I didn't really get it. I liked the look of it and I think the use of that Smashing Pumpkins song "The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning" is inspired. But I didn't understand what was going on, unfamiliar as I was with the source material.

Matthew McConaughey
cleaned up real nice (just like a good spokesmodel should) for the launch of Dolce & Gabbana's new fragrance at the Gramercy Park hotel in NYC last night. It certainly didn't hurt that he had his gorgeous girlfriend Camila Alves on his arm. Also out to celebrate the scent were starlets like Anne Hathaway and a
stylish Mischa Barton (where has she been?).
Dedication, the directorial debut from Justin Theroux, is a weird little movie. And while that's not necessarily a bad thing, Dedication gets a little too lost in its own weirdness, ultimately overwhelming what could be a sweet, unlikely love story.
At the heart of Dedication is Henry Roth (Billy Crudup), a basket case of a children's book writer who occasionally has to put heavy objects (encyclopedias or other large books, preferably) on top of himself to feel safe.

Mandy looked like a
vamped up version of herself at the
Dedication premiere in NYC last night. While we're a huge fan of the actress, we're not loving this harsh look. We bet her costar Billy Crudup wasn't into it much either.

There hasn't been much of a publicity push for
Dedication, a strange little indie romantic dramedy starring Mandy Moore and Billy Crudup, which can sometimes be a very good sign. After all, the last two movies I saw with Moore in them (
Because I Said So,
License to Wed) enjoyed major marketing pushes and then turned out to be some of the year's most embarrassing disappointments. For Moore's sake, I hope Dedication is a quality movie so we can see that it's not the actress that was the problem — it was the material.
300 director Zack Snyder's next project is
Watchmen, an adaptation of the 1980s comic book series by Alan Moore. For many weeks there have been rumors going around about who, exactly, we'd be watching in Watchmen (
Keanu Reeves? Jude Law?) and now that
the cast has been finalized, I am even more excited for this project.

Mandy is up in Park City and managed to sneak away from her new beau, DJ AM to get some promo pics taken for her film Dedication, which also stars Billy Crudup. Could she get any cuter? Mandy may have a squeaky clean reputation, but she set some things straight in the February issue of Jane magazine.

Brad and Angelina arrived together at the NYC premiere of The Good Shepherd last night. The couple who once kept their distance is proving they don't need to be separated any longer. Angelina looks very conservative in her beautiful black sparkle gown.

Billy Crudup, David Duchovny, Eva Mendes, Julianne Moore, Maggie Gyllenhaal and more all came out for the Trust the Man premiere. It was also a 46th birthday celebration for David as well. Looks like the gang had a fun time.
