Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore kicked off their Oscar weekend in LA last night at the Hollywood Domino and Artists for Peace and Justice charity event. Fresh off his trip to Russia, Ashton escorted Demi down the red carpet and while the two won't be at Sunday's show, she and Madonna are once again hosting their 3rd annual Oscar party. AnnaLynne McCord was also in attendance but, unlike Demi, she didn't have a date to the party, although we did see her sharing a romantic dinner with Twilight's Kellan Lutz earlier this week. Rachel Zoe has a marathon weekend ahead of her as we continue to count down to the Oscars; she's styled many winners and presenters in the past.

After nine weeks at number one, Avatar was finally knocked from the top spot at the box office by a boatload of stars in a sappy rom-com. You've heard all the cliches before: that Valentine's Day is more about commercialism than love, that it was created by Hallmark and so on. With that in mind, I can't say I was surprised to see that Hollywood finally decided to capitalise on the holiday hubbub with a romantic comedy that's brimming with stars—but unfortunately the film provides even more proof for the argument that the holiday is for suckers.    Valentine's Day has star power at every turn, chronicling the lives of a slew of people as they navigate through the "most romantic day of the year." Jennifer Garner and Ashton Kutcher are at the epicenter as best friends Julia and Reed and their tangled web of social contacts and random people they bump into extends (but isn't limited to) Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Patrick Dempsey, Eric Dane, Bradley Cooper, Jamie Foxx, Taylor Lautner, Julia Roberts and Jessica Alba. There are more celebrities in the film than you can remember and the sad part is that most of their onscreen counterparts are forgettable.

I don't know when action-packed romantic comedies became a Hollywood trend, but it certainly seems to be picking up steam these days. There's Knight and Day, The Bounty Hunter and now the latest: Killers. Previously titled Five Killers, this one stars Katherine Heigl as a woman who meets the man of her dreams (Ashton Kutcher) on a trip to France. The two meet, date, start a happy relationship, until—surprise!—Kutcher's character has a secret life that's jam-packed with guns, explosions and high-speed car chases. Now that his clueless girlfriend is added to the mix, hilarity ensues. Or not. I guess the concept here is to churn out films that appeal equally to men and women, but could the message be any more obvious? The trailer literally turns from rom-com to action movie midway through, leaving me scratching my head and rolling my eyes. I'm all for making movies that appeal to both sexes, but there are other, better ways to do it (just check out my list of guy-approved chick flicks). One bonus: I'm a fan of casting Tom Selleck and Katherine O'Hara as Heigl's parents. And if nothing else, there's some gorgeous shots of France and Ashton's abs, so check out the trailer.

By now you've probably seen the myriad on-set shots for the upcoming ensemble romantic comedy Valentine's Day. Oh and by "ensemble", I mean the most star-studded cast to hit Hollywood in years.
This movie has (take a deep breath with me) Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jamie Foxx, Bradley Cooper, Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Emma Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Eric Dane, Patrick Dempsey, Topher Grace, Shirley Maclaine, Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift. Did I miss anyone? Probably. Put all these beautiful stars in a rom-com, set the trailer to a booming pop song and you've got me excited.

The preview doesn't give much of the plot away (though I can make some educated guesses based on the title), but I'm already analysing the couplings we see in the clip. Anne Hathaway and Topher Grace? Brilliant. Bradley Cooper and Julia Roberts? I'm not sure about their chemistry, but I guess he does like older women. Zing! The only question is, with these components, are we looking at He's Just Not That Into You 2.0? Or Love Actually the remake? Or neither? The film is out today if you want to get a jump on your Valentine's Day celebration. Watch the new trailer and let me know what you think.

The ensemble cast of Valentine's Day hit the red carpet in LA last night for the film's premiere. Jessica Biel wins the award for getting in the spirit of things in her festively coloured Oscar de la Renta gown, while Jennifer Garner and Anne Hathaway both went short, sexy and dark. Jessica Alba slipped into a unique dress, though her hair length isn't your favourite on the actress. Julia Roberts and her niece Emma both looked stunning, sharing the limelight  off-screen despite not actually sharing any screen time in the movie. Taylor Lautner also hit the red carpet. Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about any awkward run-ins with his real life ex and onscreen girlfriend, Taylor Swift, since Swifty's busy falling in love here in Australia. Bradley Cooper sported a less than tantastic tan as he smiled through the night with Grey's Anatomy boys Patrick Dempsey and Eric Dane, who was accompanied by his very pregnant wife Rebecca Gayheart. Newly 32-year-old Ashton Kutcher and his Valentine Demi Moore rounded out the crew. Ashton kept things cute by pointing himself out on the poster to his wife. The film hits cinemas this Thursday. 7338334
