Sucker Punch star Vanessa Hudgens is slinky and see-through at film's premiere, while her co-stars break into dance

By ANDREA MAGRATH

We like to boogie: The stars of Sucker Punch broke into an impromptu dance on the red carpet at the London premiere of their film tonight


Their film has had an underwhelming reception from critics, so what are girls to do? Dance.

The stars of Sucker Punch shrugged off their bad reviews to have some fun on the red carpet at the London premiere tonight in Leicester Square.


Slinky: Vanessa Hudgens was glamorous in a white backless gown by Alberta Ferretti


While Vanessa Hudgens and Abbie Cornish looked on nervously in their glamorous gowns, their carefree co-stars Emily Browning, Jamie Chung and Jena Malone burst into an impromptu boogie.

The colourful group dazzled as they posed together on the red carpet, and didn't let the damp evening wet their spirits as they giggled like schoolgirls together.

High School Musical star Vanessa, 22, went for all-out glamour in a floor-length white gown by Alberta Ferretti.

Vanessa wore her hair up to show off the backless dress to its full advantage, and displayed her new butterfly neck tattoo.

Abbie Cornish, 28, also chose Alberta Ferretti in a coffee-coloured long dress with lace overlay and dazzled in £175,000 worth of Cartier jewels.


Girls just wanna have fun: Actresses Jamie Chung, Jena Malone and Emily Browning got in on the fun, while their co-stars looked on


Jamie Chung stood out in a flirty hot pink Dolce & Gabbana dress and black peep-toe heels.

The film's star, Australian actress Emily Browning, wore a 1920s style Azzaro dress, while entourage star Carla Cugino wore a bright blue Oscar de la Renta frock.

Jena Malone, best known for her roles in Stepmom and Donnie Darko, wore an interesting printed dress with slashes at the neck and hip by Juan Carlos Obando.

The film has been widely panned by critics, with Time Out calling the Zack Snyder-directed fantasy thriller 'confusing and self-defeating.'


Girl Power: Sucker Punch stars (L-R) Jamie Chung, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Carla Cugino, Emily Browning and Vanessa Hudgens pose together on the red carpet


Nevertheless the film's stars say they had a ball filming it, despite being forced to undergo rigorous workouts involving military and martial arts training and strict diets, in order to complete the action sequences in their tiny corsets and leotards.

But Emily Browning, who became a household name in Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events says the girls unwound together with a weekly 'cheat night' from their diets and fitness regime.

'Wednesday nights we would all go out and eat cakes together, or just have a cheat night and get together,' she said on the red carpet tonight. 'But we were hanging out all the time and we would have sing-a-longs. It was lots of fun.'


Girlfriends: Jamie Chung does some solo moves before cuddling up to Jena Malone


Abbie Cornish appeared on U.S. TV show, Jimmy Kimmel Live last week to promote the film and described how she was shooting an action scene when a fellow star came at her with a WW1 rifle with a steel bayonet on the end.

'I ducked it but the timing was off and this steel bayonet comes at my head it hits me on the side of the head,' she said.


Stylish: Abbie Cornish also chose Alberta Ferretti, while Jamie Chung looked gorgeous in a hot pink Dolce & Gabbana frock


Sucker Punch opens in UK cinemas on April 1.

Vanessa Hudgens set to Sucker Punch London as she arrives in the capital for film premiere

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Hello, London! Vanessa Hudgens arrived in the capital this morning with her Sucker Punch cast mates for the film's premiere tomorrow night


It's only been in the cinemas for a few days in the US but it has already been giving a slating by the critics.

So Vanessa Hudgens and her Sucker Punch cast mates will be hoping for a better reception when it's released in the UK this Friday - and have jetted in just to make sure.

The actress, 22, was snapped arriving at Heathrow airport this morning for the London premiere tomorrow night.

And despite her long transatlantic flight, Miss Hudgens looked fresh-faced and was in a bouyant mood as she left the airport and made her way into town to check into her hotel.

She was joined on the flight by co-star Abbie Cornish, but the film's other stars Jena Malone and Jamie Chung arrived on an earlier.

And either the cast are visiting other European cities on their promotional trail or Vanessa's planning to stay in the UK for quite a while.


You sure you've packed enough? Vanessa wheels an over-loaded trolley of suitcases through LAX as she checks in to her flight to London


She was seen wheeling an over-loaded trolley of suitcases through LAX yesterday and seemed to find it quite amusing.

Vanessa is no strangers to planes this week having jetted off to Las Vegas to celebrate the film's release.

On her return, she was seen at the LA Lakers, displaying her belly button piercing as she sat alongside her pal Josh Hutcherson and watched the game


Whoop whoop: Vanessa Hudgens gets over enthusiastic at the Lakers game in Los Angeles, throwing up her fists in joy


And the star couldn't hide her excitement throughout the game as she danced and chatted to her pal Josh.

The friends also grabbed a snack together when they got hungry and feasted on pizza slices.

Vanessa was first spotted showing off her belly ring in 2009 while on a beach holiday with her former boyfriend of four years Zac Efron.

The Australian actress strips off in the new issue of Esquire magazine ahead of tomorrow night's premiere in London.

Abbie, 28, has already been dubbed 'the new Nicole Kidman,' and has just wrapped filming as the title role in Madonna's upcoming Wallis Simpson biopic W.E.

But Sucker Punch, which co-stars Emily Browning of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Vanessa Hudgens and Jena Malone, is a little more fast-paced.

'And I love taking pictures or filming things documentary style. And I’m definitely active, I love surfing...'

'It was a really hard knock. I went down and when I came to and I looked in my hand and I had blood in my hand and blood running down my face,' she said.

How frilling: Anne Hathaway reveals her slender legs in short lace dress at premiere of animated film Rio

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Legs on show: Anne Hathaway arrived to the premiere of her new animated movie Rio in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil last night in a short white dress


Being an animated movie, we only get to hear her voice in the film.

But it was different story at the premiere of Rio last night where Anne Hathaway took every opportunity to show off her incredible figure.

The actress revealed her toned legs in a short white frilly dress which she teamed with towering heels for the event in Rio de Janeiro.


Walking tall: The actress, who voices one of the characters in the film, teamed her frilly ensemble with a pair of towering heels


She was also joined by her co-stars, including Jesse Eisenberg, Jamie Foxx and Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am, who contributed to the soundtrack.

Brazilian director Carlos Saldanha's newest 3-D animation feature,Rio, is a tribute to his home town's natural beauty and upbeat approach to life.

Saldanha left Rio more than 20 years ago to try his luck as an animator in the United States.


On form: She smiled and chatted to happily to the Press during the event as she mingled on the blue carpet


After scoring hits such as Ice Age, the director returned to his roots to tell the story of the rare blue macaw, Blu, who was born in Brazil but raised in frigid Minnesota, where he never learned to fly.

In the movie, which opens in Brazil on Tuesday and on April 15 in the United States, Blu travels to Rio de Janeiro after his owners learn that a female blue macaw has been discovered there.


Here come the boys: She was joined by co-stars Jesse Eisenberg, left, and singer will.i.am, who has contributed to the movie's soundtrack


Blu, voiced by Jesse Eisenberg, meets the spunky Jewel, voiced by Anne Hathaway.

Together they escape animal traffickers, get in a brawl with monkeys, and fall in love as Blu learns to fly and rediscovers himself among sweeping views of the city.

'This is a beautiful present to Rio de Janeiro,' said Brazilian singer Bebel Gilberto, who, as the voice of a toucan in the movie, had to sing 'The girl from Ipanema' off-key - something she says was very difficult.

The sound track included will.i.am as well as Brazilian musicians Carlinhos Brown and Sergio Mendes.


Acting up: Jamie Foxx was also on hand and put on a little performance before the photographers


On home turf: Actor Rodrigo Santoro, left, and director Carlos Saldanha, who are both from Brazil


One of the challenges, Saldanha said, was showing a Rio that was accessible to those who've never seen the city, but that still felt authentic to those who know it well.
'I hope this movie does it justice,' he said.

He did concede to making one change in his portrayal of the city to suit foreign audiences: a small readjustment to the size of Brazil's notoriously small bikinis in the movie's animated beachscapes.

'You cannot show everything,' he said. 'This movie was made for the world. I had to adjust. But at the end of the day, everything is as authentic as it can be.'

Robert Pattinson's 'Water for Elephants' Gets First Clip

Reese Witherspoon's Marlena tries her best to get Pattinson's Jacob off to his safety, but the orphaned veterinary student won't leave her.

In a new interview with the site, the lead actor shares how he feels shooting the movie. "It felt like it was kind of magical in many ways, because we were out in the desert shooting," he says. "There was nothing from the modern world around. It was a different experience for me. It wasn't in a studio or anything."

On why he decided to take the role in the movie adaptation of Sara Gruen's novel, Pattinson jokingly says, "I just wanted to show I can be Jacob too. That's the only reason I did the movie. I just looked at the name. There was an elephant, my name is Jacob - done." He adds with a laugh, "The next movie I'm doing, I'm called Taylor in it."

Pattinson's character, Jacob, is an orphaned veterinary student who is put in charge of caring for the animals in a traveling circus of a bygone era. He later falls in love with Reese Witherspoon's Marlena, a beautiful equestrian rider, but she is married to the troupe's charismatic but dangerous animal trainer August, portrayed by Christoph Waltz.

Francis Lawrence directs "Water for Elephants" with a script provided by Richard LaGravenese. The drama movie will be premiered at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on April 14 before it opens wide in U.S. theaters on April 22.

Ultra slim Emma Roberts gets a helping hand to walk in towering six inch heels

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Sky high: Emma Roberts needs a helping hand to walk in towering heels as she heads for a meeting at the United Talent Agency in Beverly Hills yesterday


Not every woman is capable of walking in a pair of six inch platform heels and it appears that young actress Emma Roberts is one of the unfortunate few who struggle.

The 20-year-old star required the help of a friend to assist her as she attempted to walk in a pair of staggeringly high black platform Christian Louboutin pumps yesterday.

Emma paired the over sized shoes with a pair of dark skinny jeans, a white T-shirt and a beige Chanel jacket as she headed into a meeting at the United Artists Agency in Beverly Hills.


Crazy high: The Christian Louboutin heels were over six inches tall

'You don't realise how much upper-body strength you need. It's also a good way to build confidence.'

Roberts, who is currently promoting her upcoming movie Scream 4, also joked about her family's famous trademark by admitting: 'We Robertses have too many teeth for our mouths.'

First look: Katy Perry turns the air blue in animated film The Smurfs

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Pretty in plasticine: Katy Perry is seen all in blue in stills for the highly-anticipated Smurfs movie


Katy Perry is set to hit the big screen like a bolt from the blue.

The pop star plays Smurfette, the iconic and only female Smurf in the classic children's series.

In stills for the the newly released trailer, her character wears her iconic pretty white dress and demure matching heels.

She also has the more delicate features compared to the other Smurfs, with her pretty long blonde wavy hair and long eyelashes.

Perry is also reunited with her How I Met Your Mother, co-star Neil Patrick Harris, who stars as one of the leads in the animated film.

The 25-year-old made a guest appearance on the hit TV series back in January, playing the character of Honey.


Getting wiggy: Katy recently donned her favourite electric blue wig at Paris Fashion Week, days ago


The new Smurfs trailer shows Smurfette struggling with her skirt as it blows up over a grill, evoking Marilyn Monroe's iconic scene in The Seven-Year Itch.

In others,The Smurfs gang are seen on numerous adventures as they roam New York as they try to avoid the evil wizard Gargamel

The plot sees Gargamel chasing the Smurfs out of their magical village and into Central Park.

He is accompanied by his ginger tom cat Azrael.

The little blue creatures must find their way back to Smurfland before they are tracked down by their enemies.

Glee star Jayma Mays plays Grace Winslow; Neil Patrick Harris' wife who is pregnant with their first child, and Hank Azaria plays Gagarmel.

Azaria is best known for lending his voice to the character of Moe on popular animation series, The Simpsons.

Last year, cast members were seen filming with real plasticine dolls in New York City.

In the film, the dolls are bought to life in post-production thanks to computer-generated imagery.


Marilyn moment: Stills shows Smurfette struggling with her skirt as it blows up over a grill, evoking Marilyn Monroe's iconic scene in The Seven-Year Itch


The hybrid animation – a technique which mixes real actors and computer generated characters – has been in negotiations for five years.

The Smurfs have been a firm favourite with children ever since they were first created in 1958 by cartoonist Pierre Culliford.

And while Katy may be playing Smurfette, she admits that she wasn't a childhood fan of the 80s TV show.


The gang: The Smurfs are seen on numerous adventures as they roam New York


'I've never seen an episode because my parents wouldn't let me,' she said last year.
'My mom thought that Smurfette was a little bit slutty, being the only female in the village.'

'And now I showed her. I called her up and was like, 'Guess what, Mom: I'm Smurfette!'.

Filming began last year in New York City and is expected to be released this August.
