These are the first red carpet photos of Demi Moore we’ve seen in months. The last time we saw her at an event was last December, when she was acting the fool at a party for Terry Richardson. So Demi hasn’t been putting herself out there, she hasn’t been tweeting, and we’ve only heard some scattered stories about how she’s still upset over Ashton’s romance with Mila Kunis and is trying to stick it to him in the divorce.

These photos of her looking healthy and happy last night at the AFI Night at the Movies will go a long way to change the narrative. (Update: Demi was presenting her movie Ghost at the festival, Cher was there for Moonstruck, and Sally Field was there for Norma Rae.) She looks like she’s gained some much-needed weight, her eyes look normal and not-glazed over and she looks perfectly at ease and like she’s having a good time. I’m so glad to see her like this. It’s as if she’s come out on the other side of her Ashton obsession and is ready to face the world anew.

In terms of her outfit it’s fug to me but not terrible. Just Jared points out that this is a Valentino jumpsuit. There’s something so 90s about wearing a see through blouse with lingerie underneath and big white cuffs, but it’s not terrible. Her tits aren’t assaulting us, and she’s covered up well enough and looks comfortable. It’s appropriate for the event. This is a win for Demi. Something negative: her extensions look really fake. Maybe she needs them to cover her bra, though.

Cher was there in a long black jacket and pants paried with a black and white bustier thing. The Daily Mail points us to a picture of Cher and Demi together and notes that they “sport identical unlined foreheads.” Isn’t that how all the monied LA ladies look?

These are some of my favorite photos, of Shirley Maclaine and Sally Field embracing. I want to hang out with them! Also, Sally’s leather jacket is so cute with that outfit.

Kurt Russell. Sometimes he looks like a GILF to me, but not here. No Goldie, which makes me sad.

Harrison Ford also flew solo.

Kevin Spacey, that handsome bastard.

Samuel L. Jackson and his crazy studded hat. This must have been a good party.

Christopher Meloni is 52 years old and he looks damn good. I honestly thought he was about 45, tops, and that’s only because I know him from TV. If I saw him walking around looking anonymous and fine (a fantasy is forming in my mind), I would guess he was around 40. His hairline doesn’t bother me because I have a well-documented thing for guys with little to no hair. (I’ve had that preference for over 20 years. Someone once told me that balding guys have more testosterone, so maybe that’s part of it, but I just read part of Wikipedia’s entry on baldness and it’s probably a myth that bald guys are more virile, still it’s one I wholeheartedly believe.)

Meloni looks better with a little facial hair, though, like in this appearance back in November. Man I am having a good morning.

Meloni is one of the stars of 42, about the life of baseball great Jackie Robinson, out this Friday. These are photos from the premiere. Robinson of course became the first African American baseball player in the major leagues when he was signed to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Meloni plays a colorful character called Leo Durocher who was the “player-manager” of the Dodgers, which I guess they don’t do much in baseball anymore. His most famous quote is shown in the trailer for the film, and it’s more awesome than they’re able to portray for a general audience. He said to the players “I do not care if the guy is yellow or black, or if he has stripes like a f*kin’ zebra. I’m the manager of this team, and I say he plays. What’s more, I say he can make us all rich. And if any of you cannot use the money, I will see that you are all traded.”

I’m covering this partially because I saw this touching photo, over on ET Online, of actor Chadwick Boseman (above) who plays Robinson, hugging Robinson’s widow, Rachel Robinson. It looks like the lady is crying, although you can’t see her face, and the effect is heart warming. All the other photos we have of Mrs. Robinson (did you get that song stuck in your head? I did) have her smiling though, which is nice to see. She’s 90 years old! Here’s more on this incredible lady.

Star Chadwick Boseman, looking fine. He’s at least 30 (Wiki says he was born in ’82, but they don’t have the date) so I don’t feel like a perv for thinking he’s hot. Boseman told Global Grind that this movie is the first time he’s seen “two black people in love in a major motion picture.” He added “You think you have, but you’ve only seen Denzel have a wife, but never a love story. You’ve seen Will Smith have a wife that’s tacked onto the story, but it’s not a love story.” That’s sad. He did mention Claudine and Love Jones as exceptions, but emphasized that they were not heavily promoted. Nicole Beharie plays Mrs. Robinson (so here’s to you) but she wasn’t at the premiere. Kaiser reminded me that Nicole broke off a piece of Fassbender for a while, but the fassdong cannot be contained.

Also there we have Calista Flockhart, who was supporting her husband, Harrison Ford. Ford plays Branch Rickey, the general manager of The Dodgers who signed Robinson. I’m not a fan of Calista’s piecey, choppy hair, but I do love that shiny blue a-line cap sleeve dress. That is killer. (I don’t have a designer ID on it but I’m guessing it’s Monique Lhuillier.) Those shoes are too chunky IMO though.

And finally Alyssa Milano in a really tight dress.

Here’s the trailer for 42, it looks really good!

Amber Heard currently occupies a strange spectrum in Hollywood. At first, she seemed like the next coming of Scarlett Johansson, which wouldn’t be terribly promising in and of itself except that Scarlett has entered a phase where she’s declared her worst nightmare to be considered sexy even within her roles. Also, Scarlett might very well get a bit flirty with her married co-stars, but she knows where the line is and (so far) refuses to cross it. In sharp contrast, Amber appears to be embracing her sexuality onscreen, on the red carpet, and in real life. As for getting with a married guy, Amber doesn’t seem to have a problem with that either.

Whether or not Amber truly broke up Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp’s relationship is up for debate, but they were almost certainly sleeping together as the relationship disintegrated. Now her fling with Johnny may very well be over, but Amber has steadfastly earned a reputation among the wives and girlfriends of Hollywood’s leading men. Miley Cyrus was reportedly very worried about Amber on the set of Liam Hemsworth’s upcoming film, Paranoia, but her mind was put at ease when Amber hit on Miley, not Liam.

Now Calista Flockhart is worried as well about the Amber getting into Harrison Ford’s pants on that very same film set. It doesn’t help that Amber and Harrison were recently spotted dining together in NYC. We don’t have those photos, but you can see them here. So does Calista have anything to worry about? Here’s the story from the Enquirer.

Calista Flockhart is keeping a close eye on her hubby Harrison Ford after he enjoyed an intimate dinner with gorgeous homewrecker Amber Heard, say sources. Bisexual beauty Amber, 26, reportedly broke up Johnny Depp’s longtime relationship with his baby mama Vanessa Paradis — and now she’s getting close with the 70-year-old Indiana Jones star, confide insiders.

The young bombshell, who’s been filming Paranoia with Harrison, enjoyed a private supper with the aging hunk on Aug. 28 at Da Umberto, an upscale Italian eatery in Manhattan. She radiated sex appeal in a sheer white top and skintight black pants. “Amber was dressed to kill and she really lacquered on the makeup,” noted a source. “There was no way that Harrison could have been immune to her charms.”

The source goes on to say that it was just a friendly dinner during which they discussed the movie, but Calista couldn’t have been happy about it because she’s well aware of the reports on Amber’s reputation.

Amber and Depp, 49, reportedly linked up while the two were filming The Rum Diary in 2009 and continued to see each other after filming wrapped. In the meantime, Depp’s 14-year relationship with Paradis, with whom he has two children, collapsed.

Then in a startling turn of events, Amber kicked the superstar to the curb and abruptly went back to former girlfriend Tasya Van Ree. “Now she’s split with Tasya again,” said the source. “And I think Amber has a little crush on Harrison.” That won’t sit well with 47-year-old Calista. Revealed the source: “She doesn’t want Amber romancing her man!”

[From Enquirer print edition, September 19, 2012]

Truth be told, Amber kind of looked like hell in those photos of her leaving the restaurant. She really had piled the makeup on to a ridiculous degree, so maybe she really was trying to get with Harrison. Still, she’s 26 and he’s 70 … which kind of leads me to believe that Calista shouldn’t be worried. But if Amber is the type to use her sexuality to advance her career, then there might be something to this story. Maybe Amber really is that type of girl. I hope not.

These are two new photos of Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman in Philadelphia, where they’ve been filming their new movie (Paranoia), and they posed for photos when they went out to eat together. So… this is just your FYI: this is what Harrison Ford looks like these days. I know, it gets kind of depressing, especially on the heels of what Ralph Fiennes looks like these days. Much like Ralph’s unfortunate look, I suspect that part of Harrison’s vibe might be specifically for the film. He must have shave his head, right? Because just a few months ago (back in April), he looked like this:

Still grizzled, obviously. With hair, Harrison seems like an aging rancher or cowboy, leathery from working in the sun for decades. Without hair, Harrison seems… like, Ben Kingsley or something. Which isn’t bad at all – I love Ben Kingsley. But I never thought Harrison Ford would give me Ben Kinglsey vibes. Incidentally, Harrison Ford turned 70 years old a month ago. I’d say he looks pretty well-preserved for 70.

Also – I end up thinking about Harrison whenever I watch White Collar. Does Tim DeKay remind anyone else of a young Harrison? That’s one of the reasons I’m still watching White Collar – my love of Americana beefcake like Tim DeKay.

Last thing – Gary Oldman looks really hot, right?

I’m quite content to blame Olivia Wilde for the respective box office failures/disappointments of The Change-Up and Cowboys & Aliens. Sure, there are lots of people you could blame, but what do those two movies have in common? Bangs-Trauma Cockburn. Still, Olivia continues to book movie after movie for whatever reason, so there’s going to be at least a three-year lag before her movie career goes belly-up when people realize that she’s like the Typhoid Mary of box office disappointments. She’s even rumored to be taking over the Linda Lovelace role in some version of Lovelace’s life story (no word on whether it’s the same project that Linnocent was involved with).

Anyway, these are new photos of Olivia at the Berlin premiere of Cowboys & Aliens. I guess Olivia, Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford are going to be doing a lot of press in Europe, and probably Asia too, just so this damn film breaks even. Instead of trying to sex it up and sell it that way, Olivia looks like the odd man out – even Daniel seems to be holding her at a distance, like he knows she’s bad news. Olivia’s dress is Tom Ford, and it’s… kind of boring.

Meanwhile, Daniel seems to be clutching Harrison Ford lovingly. And Harrison looks like he doesn’t give a good goddamn about any of this. What’s up with Harrison’s hair, by the way? It looks like a piece from some angles.

Here are some fresh photos of Rachel McAdams and Harrison Ford at the Madrid photo call for Morning Glory. Rachel decided to wear this odd, smocked green summer dress for the occasion. Much like her “cocktail dress” at the London premiere a few days ago, I find this inappropriate for winter months, even if it is unseasonably warm in Madrid (is it?). Beyond the “you’re wearing a smocked cotton summer dress in January” issue, there is also an issue of… cheapness. This looks like it came from Target. The discount rack at Target. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing something from Target, you know this dress probably costs hundreds of dollars. And that’s the problem. A $500 cotton, smocked, designer summer dress that looks like it came from a Target discount rack. Ugh. She really needs a new stylist.

Here’s Harrison Ford… I know some of you think he looks ancient, but I think he’s been looking really great on this press tour.

These are photos from the London premiere of Morning Glory. A few days ago we had photos from the Berlin premiere – Rachel McAdams went high-glamour in a bright red Michael Kors, accessorizing with funky hair. While I think Rachel’s overall look at this London premiere was a lot better, I can’t help thinking that this is all wrong for a January premiere in London. The dress is an adorable little Suno (a label I’ve never heard of), accessorized with simple makeup and easy-breezy hair – gorgeous for an LA premiere in May. Wrong for London in January. And that’s not my only quibble. Look how much skin she’s showing! Yes, she’s a petite little thing, so the daring neckline doesn’t look trashy or tacky, like it would on someone more voluptuous. But still – eh. She doesn’t need to walk that line. Is anyone else getting the feeling that Rachel needs a new stylist?

Other photos… Harrison Ford was there for the premiere too. He looked really handsome, I thought. I like the teal scarf. It looks nice on him.

Does anyone like Patrick Wilson? I think he’s a good actor, but he just seems so… I don’t know. “Pillow weeper” comes to mind. He’s all of the equipment: handsome, talented, nice smile, nice body. And yet the entire package feels less than the sum of its parts.

These are photos of Rachel McAdams and Harrison Ford at the Berlin premiere of Morning Glory last night. Rachel is wearing this rather spectacular red and black Michael Kors. This is one of those times where I adore the dress, but I wish I could see it on someone else. Not that I don’t love Rachel – I do, and I think she’s gorgeous. However, she’s been doing this lighter hair for so long… and I really miss her having darker hair. With darker hair (and lighter lipstick, right?), I don’t think this Kors would have looked so harsh. That being said, it’s still a great dress, and I applaud Rachel for picking it out.

Regarding Morning Glory – that film sank without a trace, didn’t it? Lots of critics even liked it, and said it was one of the better romantic-comedy-dramas of recent memory. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’d like to.

Also: Rachel’s still-on boyfriend Michael Sheen was nowhere to be seen, but that’s not surprising. She probably doesn’t want to flaunt the relationship so soon.

I just watched this new trailer for Cowboys & Aliens with my mouth hanging open. I mean… how did this film get greenlit? What was the pitch? “You know how people loved Independence Day? You know how people love Clint Eastwood cowboy movies? Why don’t we combine the two?!?” Yes, this film is about cowboys like Daniel Craig (the outlaw cowboy) and Harrison Ford (the federal marshal) battling aliens in the old west of something. I guess it’s supposed to be circa 19th century? All I know is that Daniel Craig’s accent work is horrendous, and the story looks like something two middle-aged Clint Eastwood fetishists came up with during an acid trip. Oh, and Olivia Wilde is in it. She plays an old-timey whore, I think. Even though they tried to ugly her up (I think), she just looks too modern for this.

So… is the story that Daniel Craig was an outlaw who got abducted by aliens and they gave him some magical bracelet that deflects the alien powers while also wiping his mind of everything, including whores? And then he goes right back into town and Harrison Ford is all “GIVE HIM TO ME!!!” and then the aliens are like “Wazzup?!?” and Daniel is all “Remember that bracelet you GAVE me? Eat it, bitches!!!”

Jesus. If this film is a success, I shall eat my hat.

Thanks to Gawker for the tip!

In addition to the European MTV Awards, last night was also the big premiere of Morning Glory, the film everybody’s mom wants to see. Personally, I’ve already had to promise my mom that I’d take her to see it, and I doubt I’m the only one. It’s going to be epic – Harrison Ford as a curmudgeon, Canada’s Sweetheart Rachel McAdams, and Diane Keaton doing her silly best. Now, while I think the trailer looks good, I don’t really get how this film is being promoted. If I was in charge (if, if, if), I would be putting the emphasis on Rachel as the Everywoman, the next Julia Roberts/Reese Witherspoon type who can carry a rom-com on her own. I’d also add a dash of Oscar nomination “rumors” for Harrison, because he looks really interesting in this. What I would not do is encourage my leading lady, Rachel, to dress up like some kind of twitchy blonde bombshell. This premiere dress (Lanvin) and styling reeks of “trying too hard” and it makes me not like her. Plus, I just don’t care for her as a blonde.

Harrison looked like hell too. I know he’s Old and everything, but the hair and the earring… God, Harrison. Just slick back your hair and be the elder statesman that you are.

Diane looked cute though:
