Hancock's Still Saving the World in Japan
Just when we thought Will Smith was all done promoting Hancock, he and Charlize Theron popped up in Japan today for yet another premiere. Charlize looked right on trend in her sexy lace dress. Though the movie has been bumped from the US box office by a few other Summer blockbusters, Charlize and Will looked more than happy to reunite again in Asia to keep hamming it up on that red carpet.
Box Office: Hellboy and Friends Kick Box Office Butt
Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy II: The Golden Army won the weekend box office with an estimated $35.9 million, not only handily beating the current competition, but also surpassing the first Hellboy's opening weekend earnings ($23.2 million). Yippee! I'm happy for that ragtag group of superheroes.

Hancock Is a Box Office Superhero
A surprise to no one (but still a delight to me, since I find this Will Smith movie to be pretty fun), Hancock won the crown at the box office over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. According to Variety, the movie "is the eighth Smith film in a row to open at No. 1 domestically, as well as his fifth — and most successful — Fourth of July outing."
Hancock: A New Kind of Superhero Movie
I'm not totally sure who the intended audience is for Hancock. The superhero aspect is campy enough for kids (and sometimes way too campy for adults), but there's definitely language that doesn't seem suitable for youngsters. Perhaps the teenagers will most enjoy the movie, though as an adult I liked it well enough and I certainly applaud what the story attempts to accomplish: tell a superhuman's story with the emphasis on the "human" experience.
Hancock Swoops Into LA With Smiths Galore and More
After a trip around the world, Hancock hit LA last night with a high profile premiere. The Smith family is quite the red carpet pack now, perfecting the group pose for the camera — Jada was looking especially gorgeous in green — before Will was off to also pose with his costars. The next big movie star (at least in his head) Diddy was there as was Charlize nuzzling up to Stuart and Jason Bateman with his wife.
This Week's Fab Favorite: Charlize Theron
Every season a few items appear on the runways that you know are going to be superstars. Fall merchandise is not yet in stores — soon — but we are already seeing some stars wearing the aforementioned superstars on the red carpets. After all, celebrities who will help promote the house get first dibs.
Are Will and Charlize Too Close For Comfort?
The stars of Hancock continued their world tour in London yesterday, and Will and Charlize were looking especially friendly on the red carpet at the premiere. Will's no stranger to a little PDA, but this seems like a little much considering they're both happily attached to other people. What do you think — are Will and Charlize too close for comfort on the red carpet?
