Alan Blows His Trumpet For Pam's Arrival
What a way to enter the country! Pamela Anderson flew into Heathrow airport yesterday to be greeted exuberantly by those lovable Sunday Night Project presenters Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins. JLC had a red carpet rolled out for her arrival, and Alan played his trumpet for the visiting blonde – even managing to get her to touch his horn at one point...
Pop Preview: Superhero Movie
Last night I went to see a press screening of Superhero Movie, from the stable of Airplane!, The Naked Gun and the Scary Movie series.
I didn't have high hopes for this film, as spoof movies have been getting progressively worse over the past few years (Meet The Spartans anyone?), but I was actually pleasantly surprised.
It doesn't start well – in fact the first fifteen minutes are filled with bad jokes – but as I was watching I remembered that the film is certified 12A – and I think younger teens will get a good few kicks out of those minutes.
Pop Poll: Superhero Movie – Funny Or Lame?
I have to say I'm pretty wary of any film with "movie" at the end of it, and so I am approaching the idea of Superhero Movie (out June 6 in the UK) with trepidation.
This one is from David Zucker and features Leslie Nielsen in a large role which gave me hopes it might hark back to The Naked Gun golden days... it also seems to be playing to a younger audience than the "Scary" movies – it has a 12A certificate in the UK and stars Drake Bell who's best known from Nickelodeon series Drake & Josh (alongside The Wackness's Josh Peck) as well as his enjoyably McFly-esque albums.

Brits David, Keira and Ed Win At US Teen Choice Awards
America has already let the kids choose this year, so it was time for the teens to have their say at the Teen Choice Awards 2008 last night in LA. The usual pretty and adored-by-kids suspects were there last night - The Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez, Miranda Cosgrove, Demi Lovato, Drake Bell, Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron and the show's host Miley Cyrus, as well as some big names to all ages like Will Smith, Scarlett Johansson, Josh Holloway, Blake Lively, Rachel Bilson and Steve Carell.
Us Brits were represented by David Beckham, who brought Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz to watch him win a surfboard for Choice Male Athlete; Keira Knightley, who wasn't actually there but won Choice Drama Movie Actress; and Ed Westwick, whose Choice TV Villain surfboard proved that even when we're putting on US accents, Americans think that Brits are best at being villains!
Monochrome Rules At National Movie Awards
London's Royal Festival Hall was the celeb-filled venue for the second annual National Movie Awards last night. A handful of Hollywood stars joined Brit actors like Emma Watson, Jason Statham and Eddie Izzard for the event, including Samuel L Jackson, Olivia Thirlby (I love her simple black dress), Chris Noth and Maria Bello.
Female Performance winner Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman and Kylie Minogue also attended, although they bypassed the red carpet and sneakily snuck in the back door — you can see them (as well as those who filmed acceptance speeches like Harrison Ford and Johnny Depp) when the ceremony airs on ITV tonight.
