Let’s kick off with the bottom-feeders. Shall we? The premiere of the low-budget comedy The Hungover Games in Los Angeles attracted such luminaries as Sharknado star Tara Reid and the once-promising comedic actor Jamie Kennedy. The poor guy really couldn’t go much lower in chasing a photo op, right?Chris Pizzello/The Associated Press
We stand corrected. Here’s Jamie Kennedy at the same event with Teen Mom-turned-porn-star Farrah Abraham. It’s only fun until someone gets a rash, fella.Chris Pizzello/The Associated Press
Also at The Hungover Games premiere was former NFL star Hank Baskett, proudly posing on the red carpet with his expectant wife Kendra Wilkinson, a former Playboy playmate and reality-TV star. In today’s Hollywood, that’s called a ‘super-couple.’Chris Pizzello/The Associated Press
And then there was Camille Grammer, best known for her irrational outbursts on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and her four-year marriage to Frasier star Kelsey Grammer. More recently she’s dating the star of Ted.Chris Pizzello/The Associated Press
Jump to New York, where the Irish actor Colin Farrell took thespian requests from people attending the premiere of his new movie Winter’s Tale. Here, Colin responds to a request for ‘Dumb Surprised Guy.’CARLO ALLEGRI/Reuters
Here’s Colin demonstrating ‘Quizzical.’CARLO ALLEGRI/Reuters
And here’s Colin making his classic ‘Get-that-bleeding-camera-away-from-me-before-I-kick-you-in-the-Lucky-Charms’ face. So talented!CARLO ALLEGRI/Reuters
Mr. Farrell calmed down in the presence of his Winter’s Tale co-star Eva Marie Saint after she told him he reminded her of a young Cary Grant. Or maybe it was Marlon Brando. Colin wasn’t really listening.Andy Kropa/The Associated Press
Next stop: Jolly old London town, where the eponymous George Clooney brought a new scarf and best Ed Sullivan impression to the U.K. premiere of The Monuments Men.Jonathan Short/The Associated Press
Not to be outdone, George’s co-star Bill Murray brought along the nifty new fedora he received for Christmas to the premiere.Jonathan Short/The Associated Press
The handsome French actor Jen Dujardin brought his unique je ne sais quoi and a raised eyebrow.Jonathan Short/The Associated Press
And John Goodman brought along his appetite for the post-premiere buffet.Jonathan Short/The Associated Press
And then Bill Murray almost put a damper on the entire event by confusing the red carpet with the back alley behind a Chicago comedy club. Hey, once a Ghostbuster….NEIL HALL/Reuters
Meanwhile, over in Berlin, the Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly showed up to push her film Aloft at the International Festival Berlinale. Isn’t she just a portrait of actorly evervescence?Joel Ryan/The Associated Press
‘Quelle dommage, cheri,’ said 70-year-old French film legend Catherine Deneuve. ‘That’s not how a real movie star conducts herself on the red carpet. Look at me, I’m trying to look professional even though they’ve put me beside this frizzy-haired ape! And I was in The Last Metro!’THOMAS PETER/Reuters
‘And should you ever find the stench of your co-star driving you to distraction, simply face the other direction.’Joel Ryan/The Associated Press
None of which was an issue at this week’s State Dinner held in honour of French president Francois Hollande. Here we see the Oscar-nominated actor Bradley Cooper trying to rein in his giddiness while entering the White House with model girlfriend Suki Waterhouse.Manuel Balce Ceneta/The Associated Press
Needless to say, Monsieur Hollande endured some good-natured ribbing about showing up without a date.KEVIN LAMARQUE/Reuters
For the most part it was a civilized and convivial affair and more than once U.S. President Barack Obama raised a toast to Hollande, even though the American vintage provided at the event was ‘swill’ to the Frenchman.KEVIN LAMARQUE/Reuters
And thankfully a diplomatic crisis was averted when Monsieur Hollande asked the First Lady 'a tour of zee Lincoln Bedroom, s’il vous plait’KEVIN LAMARQUE/Reuters
