Ahoy there, Goran Visnjic. How thrilled are you to be appearing in the new TV sci-fi series Extant? Judging by the look on his face at this week’s L.A. premiere, the G-Man is bemused or transfused (which makes sense since he used to play a doctor on ER).KEVORK DJANSEZIAN/Reuters

Whatever his state, Goran settled down by the time he posed with Extant star Halle Berry on the red carpet. Wisely, he elected not to razz Ms. Berry about her obvious demotion from movie star to TV star. Hey, nothing wrong with the small screen, right, Goran?KEVORK DJANSEZIAN/Reuters

And since he’s the guy who actually signed off on Extant, CBS CEO Les Moonves naturally showed up at the premiere with his much younger trophy wife Julie Chen, who just happens to host the CBS series Big Brother. It’s good to be King MoonvesChris Pizzello

Since we’ve crossed the pond, let’s sneak into the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, an annual event that helps companies burn up their annual budgets by sending execs to listen to experts babble on the importance of advertising. Experts like Ralph Fiennes. Hey, if Lord Voldemort isn’t the right spokesguy for advertising, there isn’t oneLionel Cironneau/The Associated Press

Even more befuddling was the presence of musician/actor Jared Leto at the Cannes advertising hoedown. Judging by his beatific expression here, he’s still riding high from his Oscar win for Dallas Buyer’s Club a few months back. Let’s see if we can drag him back down to earth...Lionel Cironneau/The Associated Press

Now to Washington, D.C., where Leonardo DiCaprio appeared in support of Barack Obama’s plan to create the largest marine preserve in the world. Nothing says sincerity like an actor in a suit he nicked from his last movieCliff Owen/The Associated Press

But Leo is actually serious about his personal conservation efforts. Look, he even has his own foundation, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. They put the name up on the overhead and everythingCliff Owen/The Associated Press

And without a supermodel in sight, Leo was focused and spoke passionately about his efforts to spread the word about the impending ecological apocalypse. Now, if he can just get through his speech without reverting to standard DiCaprio behaviour...Cliff Owen/The Associated Press

And our last stop is in Hollywood, where the cast of True Blood showed up in force for the premiere of the icky vampire saga’s seventh and final season. Let’s give Rutina Wesley the benefit of the doubt by assuming she really had to get dressed in a hurryMARIO ANZUONI/Reuters

Also at the True Blood premiere was that fine Aussie actor Ryan Kwanten, inexplicably attired as a forties-era movie bellboy for the occasion. Call for Philip Morris!Richard Shotwell

Ditto for Michael Emerson, best known for playing a creepy guy on Lost and currently playing a creepy magnanimous guy on Person of Interest, shown here with wife Carrie Preston, who has actually appeared on True Blood. A night out is a night out in HollywoodJohn Shearer

And perhaps the biggest draw at the True Blood premiere party: Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., the eldest son of you-know-who and just recently released from the hyperbaric chamber left to him by the late King of Pop. It’s eerie how much he looks like his father, right?MARIO ANZUONI/Reuters
