Alexander Skarsgard Plays Dad For the Night Alongside Julianne Moore

Julianne Moore and Alexander Skarsgard looked like one happy family when they premiered their new film, What Maisie Knew, in NYC last night alongside their young costar Onata Aprile. In the film, which is based on the novel by Henry James, Julianne and Alexander play husband and wife, but their relationship quickly goes sour as Julianne's rock-chick character begins to pawn off her daughter on Alexander and her ex-husband's new wife. Small-screen stars like Girls' Zosia Mamet and Game of Thrones' Natalie Dormer and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau also dropped by the screening to show support for their fellow HBO star Alexander.

What Maisie Knew isn't the only project that Julianne has been busy promoting. She premiered her new film The English Teacher at the Tribeca Film Festival in April — check out our interview with Julianne Moore and her costar Michael Angarano from the festival!

Alexander Skarsgard Suits Up to Screen Disconnect in the Big Apple

Alexander Skarsgard was joined by his stylish costars at a screening for Disconnect in NYC last night. He wore a Calvin Klein suit as he posed for photos with a Gucci-clad Paula Patton and the beautiful Andrea Riseborough in a Proenza Schouler frock. Elizabeth Olsen and Winona Ryder also dropped by the screening, the latter of which cuddled up with director Henry Alex Rubin on the red carpet. The film, which opens on Friday, April 12, follows a group of unrelated characters who are all connected through their dependency on technology. Disconnect's trailer, which was released in March, earned a bit of buzz for Jason Bateman's turn in a dramatic role.

Alexander will have a full schedule as he heads into Summer. He has the premiere of What Maisie Knew, his new film costarring Julianne Moore, to look forward to in the Spring, as well as the return of True Blood on June 16. If you can't wait until Summer for more Alexander, check out the True Blood season six trailer that was released last week.

What Maisie Knew Trailer: Julianne Moore Fake-Marries Alexander Skarsgard

Get ready to tear up at the trailer for What Maisie Knew, starring Alexander Skarsgard as a modern-day knight in shining armor.

Get ready to tear up at the trailer for What Maisie Knew, starring Alexander Skarsgard as a modern-day knight in shining armor. His character, Lincoln, agrees to marry Susanna (Julianne Moore) when she's caught in a brutal custody battle with her ex (Steve Coogan) over their daughter, Maisie (Onata Aprile). Given that her ex-husband has taken up with their nanny, Susanna knows having a significant other will put her a leg up in the eyes of the court. It appears nobody anticipates how well the little girl and the bartender would get along, or that Maisie would prefer Lincoln to either of her parents.

I may be crying a little, but the preview still leaves out some key details, like how Susanna even knows Lincoln in the first place, or why he goes along with her plan. Regardless, I still want to see the film, if not just because this little girl looks like she's got some real acting chops. The movie doesn't have a release date yet, but you can watch the trailer after the jump.

Anna Paquin showed off her baby bump last night at the season five premiere of True Blood in a peekaboo Rachel Comey dress. She joined her costar and husband, Stephen Moyer, along with Alexander Skarsgard, Rutina Wesley, and Joe Manganiello for the big debut at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. Stephen and Anna are expecting their first child together in the Fall, and on the red carpet, their cast mates raved to us about how happy they are for the pair.

Last season's finale episode was full of the series's requisite cliffhangers, and while the cast kept tight-lipped on many of the upcoming plot twists, Rutina's appearance on the carpet added fuel to the rumors that Tara isn't dead after all and will be back in Bon Temps this year. There will also be several new characters on True Blood this season. Law and Order alum Christopher Meloni will appear as the head of the Authority, and there are several werewolves, vampires, and humans joining the cast. Stay tuned for today's PopSugar Rush to catch all our interviews with the cast as they share a sneak peek at what's ahead this season.

Brooklyn Decker, Rihanna, and Alexander Skarsgard hit the blue carpet in LA last night for the West Coast premiere of Battleship. The ladies headed west after a big start to the week in NYC, where they both attended Monday's Met Gala. Brooklyn wore Tory Burch to the Big Apple fashion fest, while Rihanna donned a crocodile-print Tom Ford.

Battleship isn't out until next Friday, but the gang have been all over the world doing press for the last month. Brooklyn, Alexander, and costar Taylor Kitsch brought the picture to Europe, then Rihanna linked up for a quick tour of Asia and a stop in Hawaii for the junket. Brooklyn's doing double-duty, too, since her What to Expect When You're Expecting comes out the same day as her movie with Alexander and Rihanna!

Gadson — stay tuned for our exclusive interviews with the cast!

Rihanna flashed her midriff for the photo op. She also shows skin in her new video, which is out today. "Where Have You Been" is already a hit on the charts, and with Rihanna in a bikini, the video is sure to be just as popular. Rihanna, Brooklyn, Alexander, and Taylor head back to the mainland next week and are expected to attend an LA premiere on May 10 before the May 18 opening.

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett, RDJ, and Their Superhero Crew Step Out For The Avengers Premiere

A Versace-clad Scarlett Johansson joined Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L.

A Versace-clad Scarlett Johansson joined Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L. Jackson, and several other big superhero names at last night's premiere of The Avengers at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. We were live on the red carpet, bringing you our interviews with the heroes of the new Marvel movie and capturing all the star-studded arrivals. The film's boldfaced cast also includes Mark Ruffalo, who had his lovely wife Sunrise Coigney on his arm at the debut, Tom Hiddleston, and Jeremy Renner, to name just a few. Stellan Skarsgård, who has a small role in the film, was also in attendance with his son Alexander Skarsgård close by.

On the carpet, Scarlett told us that if she had her character Black Widow's powers of interrogation, she'd probably use her skills to grill George Clooney for all his secrets. Meanwhile, new dad Robert Downey Jr., who was there with his wife Susan Downey, spoke about feeling great since the birth of their son Exton earlier this year. Stay tuned for today's PopSugar Rush to catch our interviews with Scarlett and RDJ, and for any others you may have missed!

The Avengers is one of the most anticipated movies of 2012, but the year's biggest box office hit — The Hunger Games — came up several times during the evening. Chris Hemsworth spoke about his little brother Liam Hemsworth's success with the blockbuster, and Jeremy Renner — whose character Hawkeye is an expert with the bow and arrow — told us he thinks he'd easily take Katniss in an archery competition.

Rihanna debuted her darker hair color yesterday at a press conference aboard the USS George Washington in Yokosuka. The stars were whisked back to Japan's capital via helicopter following the press event. Rihanna and Brooklyn tweeted photos and shared their bird's eye view over the city before turning in for the night. The press tour continues for the cast before heading back to the States prior to the film's May 18 opening.

This is Rihanna's first major film role, and it seems she's already eyeing another part. Rihanna's interested in playing Whitney Houston if the right opportunity should come her way. She said, "That's a huge, huge role and whoever does it has to do a good job."
