Blake and Salma Go Supersexy For Savages
Blake Lively and Salma Hayek were a pair of stunning visions at their LA premiere of Savages on Monday evening. Blake channeled Old Hollywood in Zuhair Murad gown, while Salma showed off her curves in green. The two ladies were joined by their costars for the Oliver Stone drama, including Taylor Kitsch, Mary-Louise Parker, and Emile Hirsch. John Travolta and his wife, Kelly Preston, also hit the red carpet together, not showing any signs of stress despite all the recent drama surrounding their family. Blake was without her man Ryan Reynolds, though the two are going strong and were spotted shopping outside NYC together last week. The actress will soon be starting work on her final season of Gossip Girl, but she's already lining up her next high-profile projects: this week Blake was named the face of Gucci fragrance.
Penelope Cruz Get Amore From Italian Fans and Her Venuto al Mondo Director
Penelope Cruz, Emile Hirsch and their Venuto al Mondo director Sergio Castellitto were on hand in Italy today for the Rome Film Festival. The cast took part in a loved up photocall, where Sergio planted a kiss on Penelope's cheek, then headed into a panel discussion about their project. The actors were seated next to each other during the question and answer session while an Italian occasionally leaned in to help translate. Penelope and Emile have been filming on location throughout Europe over the past two months, and Penelope's taken advantage of the exotic destinations to explore new cities with her favorite guys Leo and Javier Bardem.
The Darkest Hour Trailer: When Aliens Attack Emile Hirsch
The trailer for The Darkest Hour starts off like a music video: we see a bunch of twentysomethings (including Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby, and Rachael Taylor), head to Moscow where they take in gorgeous scenery by day and party it up with beautiful people by night. The dream becomes a nightmare however, when Moscow is attacked by a mysterious species that starts sucking up all the energy and electricity they can. Thus begins a face-off, led by Hirsch, to protect our planet.

If the premise sounds silly, it's because it is — there's really nothing new here other than the Russian setting and a new crop of faces, but overall, The Darkest Hour looks like a slicker version of your typical teen horror movie. It does look pretty stylish though, so maybe we've got a fun popcorn movie on our hands. To watch the trailer, just read more

Matt was able to enjoy the evening out celebrating the movie during a break from his own film project, We Bought a Zoo. He was on set with a giant grizzly bear earlier this week, though he'll soon trade the wild cast for a more civilized costar. Matt's set to star alongside Michael Douglas in Liberace, and it was just revealed that the two men will share intimate scenes including multiple kissing moments.
