It was all eyes on Charlize Theron and Will Smith as they hit the red carpet in Tokyo for the Japanese premiere of Hancock today.
As Will was typically dapper in a three-piece suit, his big screen leading lady was fashion foward in a sexy halterneck number with lace detail.
While we love it when costars try to make their ensembles match on the red carpet, Charlize’s funky stripped sandals leave us baffled.
Did somebody’s stylist dress her in the dark?

Serving double duty as both host and musical guest, Miley Cyrus performed her new single 7 Things. We can think of many more things that are wrong with this picture.
He may be an old fart by teenage standards, but Steve Carell didn’t let his bedtime stop him from picking up his surfboard for Choice TV Actor in a Comedy for his role as Michael Scott on The Office.
Guess which Jesus-loving, purity ring-wearing pop rockers impressed their easy-to-impress fanatics with their lame on-stage antics.
OMG, eeeeeeeek, it’s the Jonas Brothers!
She says she’s “eternally 12 years old”, but that didn’t stop Mariah Carey from hitting up the Teen Choice Awards. The inappropriately-dressed songbird skipped the red carpet show due to a timing mix-up (read: she was late), but Mimi managed to get her sh*t together in time to perform her summer jam, I’ll Be Lovin’ You Long Time.
What? Was it Cameron Diaz’s year off?
The cast of Gossip Girl was without a doubt the belle of the ball. The show picked up enough surfboards to start a small Olympic team.
Hayden Panettierre picked up the award for Choice TV Actress in an Action Adventure. Needless to say, the Heroes actress was more than thrilled.
And finally, Channing Tatum. Just because.

Taking a break from a promo tour pimping her new album Identified, Vanessa Hudgens was spotted with her boyfriend Zac Efron arriving at the 2008 Teen Choice in Los Angeles on Sunday.
While the High School Musical starlet donned a flirty strapless number and a pair of studded pumps, her buffed beau looked hipster chic in a pair of skinny slacks and a matching vest.
The celeb couple otherwise known as Zanessa was joined by Hancock star and everbody’s favourite ageless teen, Will Smith.

Forbes’ magazine has just released its new best-paid actor list, covering June 1, 2007 to June 1, 2008.
So, who came out on top? Will Smith, banking an estimated $80 million over the course of the year. Often called the hardest-working man in Hollywood, Big Willy has proved that no matter the genre, he can deliver an audience.
Johnny Depp and Eddie Murphy came in second with a annual movie paycheck of $72 million and $55 million, respectively.
Others rounding out the top 10: Mike Meyers, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bruce Willis, Ben Stiller, Nicolas Cage, Will Ferrell, and Adam Sandler.
And it should be noted that men are still making more than women. Collectively, the big screen’s leading men took home an estimated $487 million in the past year compared with the leading ladies’ haul of $244.5 million.

Despite legal battles, a recent stint in the hospital and on-going health problems,
Amy Winehouse managed to arrive in one piece for her much anticipated appearance in Hyde Park for
Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday bash.
Earlier today, the British soulstress was spotted struggling through soundcheck, but later failed to turn up for a photocall with the former South African leader and the rest of the artists on the bill for his special concert.
So, where was she? Visiting husband Blake Fielder-Civil in Pentonville Prison, where he is awaiting sentence for a slew of charges.
Meanwhile, the show’s finale is expected to be feature Queen, Wino and Jerry Dammers (of British ska legends the Specials) performing Free Nelson Mandela, a Dammers-penned song from 1984 that was quickly adopted as an anti-apartheid anthem at the time.
Stay tuned for more!

With just two days to go until Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday celebration concert, the stars stepped out to fete the former South African president during a fundraising dinner at London’s Hyde Park on Wednesday.
And, of course, no event having to do with Africa would be complete without its reigning queen, Oprah Winfrey.
She tells the Press Association: “What is so special is that you spend 27 years in prison, you come out and you do the thing that everyone thought was impossible to do, become president of the nation and change the way people feel about Africa, and then you get to live to celebrate 90. I just don’t know anybody who deserves this more or anybody who we should be gathered around literally at his feet to say thank you for all that he has given the world.”
Blending good will with a little shameless self-promotion, Hancock star Will Smith was in attendance with wife Jada Pinkett Smith. (Hancock opens nationwide on July 2.)
Looking pretty in pink, Leona Lewis was on hand to add a little star power….and to pick up a check! The British songstress is reportedly being paid over $2 million for personal appearances at parties.
Pussycat Doll frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger showed up looking like she was ready for a Pussycat Doll funeral. It’s a celebration, honey. Try a little colour.
The always stunning Uma Thurman was joined by a dark-haired mystery man. Yet another new romance for the often-in-love actress?
And finally, Kim Cattrall injected some much need sex into the city of London.

It was a case of extreme mutual admiration for co-stars
Will Smith and
Charlize Theron as they hit the red carpet today for the British premiere of their action flick,
Hancock, at London’s Leicester Square.
While Will kept it basic in a black blazer and matching slacks, Charlize was legs, legs, legs in a sexy Balenciaga number.
Will plays the title character, who manages to do jaw-dropping damage during his well-intentioned bids to save lives.
Directed by Peter Berg, you can catch the sure-to-be action-packed flick when it hits theaters on July 2.

Joined by co-star Jason Bateman and director Peter Berg, Hollywood heavyweights Charlize Theron and Will Smith cause a paparazzi frenzy as they hit the red carpet for the Paris premiere of Hancock at L’Olympia Hall on Monday.
In his latest superhero flick, Will portrays an alcoholic superhero named Hancock who is despised by the public because of his laziness. When he saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey (Bateman), the latter helps rehabilitate Hancock. He starts having an affair with Ray’s wife Mary (Theron) until he faces his greatest challenge.
The story was originally written by Vincent Ngo in 1996 and had languished in Hollywood for some time. Hancock was originally intended to be filmed before I Am Legend and has had various directors attached, including Tony Scott, Michael Mann, Jonathan Mostow, and Gabriele Muccino.
The film is scheduled for release on July 2.

PDA Alert!!!
Will Smith and wife Jada smooched it up for cameras last night at the NBA Finals in L.A.
During the star-studded game, Will told ABC reporters that he is in a 6-month “hybernation” while he films the upcoming Gabriele Muccino drama, Seven Pounds.
Luckily he mangaged to escape the self-imposed exile to catch the big game….oh, and of course, promote his latest flick.

Following his star-studded house warming party last night, Tom Cruise was spotted making his way into the 2008 MTV Movie Awards with Suri on his shoulders, and he later presented Adam Sandler with the MTV Generation Award.
The crowd went wild as Will Smith won Best Male Performer for I Am Legend. He was joined by his son and costar Jaden.
Canadian starlet Ellen Page from Juno went on to win the counterpart trophy for actresses.
Host Mike Myers and Dana Carvey resurrected their Saturday Night Live characters Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar, the cable access hosts of Wayne’s World. They acknowledged it’s been awhile since they’ve been together (”1994. That’s a while,” said Wayne) and presented a risque top ten list of adult film titles (No. 8: I Am Legend … In Bed; and No. 1 Iron Man).
Chris Brown and Mike Myers engaged in an intense dance-off following the opening monologue. Chris’ dancing was so great that we almost forgot to notice his strange outfit, which included a colorful jacket and some seriously red shoes. Myers held his own during the dance-off and even broke out some old school moves including some badass belly rolls.
Johnny Depp managed to win honours in both the Best Comedic Performance (for his turn as Captain Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean) and the Best Villain categories (for Sweeney Todd.)
Sarah Jessica Parker, whose Sex and the City: The Movie, scored the number one position at the box office, received congratulations from Tom Cruise. Wife Katie Holmes admitted that she hadn’t seen the movie yet and was waiting to “have all my friends over. We’re gonna dress up and do it right!”
Adam Sandler (aka “The Sandman”) took home the Generation Award and we were not only treated to a great montage of Adam’s work but also a musical number by The Sandman. He sang his own version of Nobody Does It Better in celebration of his own awesomeness while surrounded by dancers, including Rob Schneider in a gold unitard and Kevin James.
