Here’s some photos of the big world premiere of Homefront, which was held in **drumroll** Planet Hollywood in Vegas. I don’t know the formal box-office projections for this movie about an undercover cop (Jason Statham) who comes to blows with a comically-evil meth dealer (James Franco), but I’m guessing the movie will hit about $20 million. That’s not great, but this movie isn’t exactly a blockbuster or high art. Don’t tell Franco that though.
Kate Bosworth led the red carpet even though her role in the movie is relatively minor. She wore a Fendi strapless dress that’s completely embellished with Swarowski crystals. I think she’s going for major glamour, but the effect is one of a tiny disco ball topped with lots of hair and red lipstick. She has a gorgeous face, by the way, but Kate always seems so fragile.
Of course Kate and Michael Polish had to gaze into each other’s eyes on the red carpet. We get it, you’re crazy about each other.
Winona Ryder wore black like she always does. Well sometimes she wears deep purple, but usually she goes with basic black. It’s her thing. This dress is Cushnie et Och, and it’s kind of plain. Winona is usually more dramatic even with her continual string of LBDs. Wouldn’t it be great if she wore pepto pink sometime just to mess with all of us?
Speaking of pink, here’s Holly Madison in a cotton candy-colored confection of a slinky dress. Holly shimmered and shined. The dress could have been tailored a little better, but she still looks very pretty here.
Oh look who decided to grace us with his AAARTful presence — James Franco.
Here’s Jason Statham. Did you know this is pretty much his movie? Franco probably chews the curtains out from under the Statham.

I like silvery/sparkly but that dress is a bit too bedazzled looking even for me.
This movie looks very generic.
This has to have been the best lit step & repeat of all time – or everyone had wonderful makeup artists – they all look flawless!
I’m not a huge fan of the bottom of Kate’s dress but other than that I agree with you.
Agree. They all look really great.
James Franco: from “arty” awful unspell-checked film reviews to starring in films with Kate Bosworth. In the immortal words of Darryl Kerrigan, “he’s dreamin'”
She’s pretty. Obviously no one likes her in Hollywood, because she’s not untalented; she was pretty good in Blue Crush. Biel and Alba have zero talent or charisma. I think Kate is just a case of people thinking she’s a pain in the ass and not wanting to work with her.
She can be hit or miss in her movies so yeah, she’s got some talent and her face is made for the screen, it really is. But I don’t think people dislike her in Hollywood, it’s probably just that she’s very rarely first choice? I can’t think of a movie in the last few years where she would’ve been no. 1 on any list because while she’s somewhat talented, there are always 10 others who are better. A bit like Blake Lively only BL has the crazy bombshell thing going for her.
For me, her best performance was still that wonderfully entertaining relationship she had with a certain Swedish actor. I laughed for over a year, it was glorious and I miss them.
You are both right. She does have a rep for being a bitch/spoiled brat/little high on herself – she’s a so-so actress but she does look good on screen. Career wise I wonder why she hasn’t gone for roles on TV, but I don’t think acting is her true priority anymore – unless it’s a movie her husband is directing. I get the sense that she sees herself as too good for television. She’s been getting more and more into fashion which I think is how she’s trying to stay relevant.
I think this is the last time we see her on a red carpet for a movie she’s in, that has a wide release.
“For me, her best performance was still that wonderfully entertaining relationship she had with a certain Swedish actor. I laughed for over a year, it was glorious and I miss them. ”
LOL! This. The hair and makeup look good, but her body is so unattractive. I hadn’t heard that she was difficult, just think she is mostly wooden and stiff. She doesn’t emote, so doesn’t make a very interesting model either.
@Lydia: She’s mentioned in several interviews over the last year that she wants to focus on acting. I don’t know how true that is. She doesn’t seem to be getting really interesting offers, at least to her, otherwise she’d have more than the two non-MP roles in the last two years. I do wonder what offers she gets that she turns down? Lifetime Movie channel? She can financially afford to turn them down, since they probably wouldn’t pay much and she makes more from fashion now.
The Bos looked good, boring and fragile but good.
Winona’s hair was a mess and black makes her look old. I think she is too conservative and it doesn’t suit her all that well. I still love her though.
The bony clavicles are a bit unnerving but her face is certainly pretty.
I swear, upon first glance I thought Holly Madison was wearing a tiara! Wouldn’t be out of place either with that dress.
Kate Bosworth really does have such a pretty face but as soon as you look down her body it just becomes uncomfortable. It’s become somewhat of a cliche but she is painfully thin.
Aaaarghhhhh silver pointy shoes!! My eyes!! my eyes!
Yes Kate is beautiful but something is off with this look. I don’t know if it is the lighting or what but she looks like she is in her late 40’s here and even her skin has that old woman look. Loved her in Blue Crush. Her body was rocking. Also, why are celeb women marrying dweebs. Kate, AnnE Hathaway, Drew Barrymore, Nikki Reed, Sienna Miller, etc they all are married or partnering with scrawny gross men.
+1
She really does look like she’s in her late 40’s. Her face looks a little bloated to me but it could be the lighting.
I love Winona, but no to the messy hair and dated shoes.
I’m giving this one to Holly, as the only one of the three ladies who doesn’t look like she’d snap in half in a strong breeze.
I hate Franco but… he looks really good here. Finally shaved the gross stubble and took a shower.
God there are no winners here are there? Everyone here looks washed up and like they should’ve just stayed at home.
My boy Statham, I missed him 🙂
How do you sit in that heavy, beaded dress?
Like I said on another site, she’s always over-dressed. It’s sooo try-hard.
I guess she can’t help herself anymore.
Damn Franco. Dude is hot…
Sigh….when I compare Kate Bosworth from Blue Crush to the one we have now…its just a damn shame. She kind of reminds me of Jennifer Lawrence in a way, but Jennifer kept on the path of light instead of falling to the Dark Side….
the bos lives to over dress. she marks her calendar as soon as she gets the dates and plans her sparkles well in advance. her only life is in sparkles!! and meth.
Franco looks good here. He does well with character roles. Ex: Spring Breakers.
I think its funny people keep referencing Blue Crush with the Bos, just considering that movie is over a decade old. Talk about peaking early.
She looks lovely.
I like Kate’s dress and red lip, but it’s the hair that doesn’t do it for me. Looks like she left the cab window down on the way to the premiere or something.
Winona looks amazing! Isn’t she in her mid forties? She looks like she’s still in her early thirties. She took good care of her skin.
I think lovely. Ah please Chris go back to one of your ex’s (Natalie!) or find someone new that deserves you (think Kate is off the market now too bad for him..) but he deserves better. Again, think Kate looks nice here if a little much still pretty.
Bosworth always stands like she’s a little girl…something weird about that.
yeah, it’s like in her mind she’s still 14.
they say fame freezes you at the age you became famous. she started in horse whisperer w/
scar jo at 13-14, maybe mentally stopped growing then…
Yes! I was gonna comment on this but you beat me to it! Her go-to solo stance is chest out, shoulders and elbows pulled back, straight legs, and toes pointed ever-so-slightly inwards. She must have practiced this in the mirror for hours, ugg.
