Zach Galifianakis, RDJ, and Todd Phillips Due It Up at LA Premiere
Zach Galifianakis toted his adorable French Bulldog costar on the Due Date premiere red carpet in LA last night. The twosome posed with director Todd Phillips, Michelle Monaghan, and Robert Downey Jr. on their way in to show off the buddy comedy. It's Todd's highly anticipated followup to The Hangover, and the crew from that movie, which also includes Zach, recently reunited to start shooting the sequel. There's already been a bit of controversy surrounding The Hangover 2, and Mel Gibson is reportedly furious over losing his cameo, which was given to Liam Neeson instead. Zach was rumored to be adamantly opposed to Gibson's appearance, and the comedic actor has more clout than ever these days. He recently signed on for The Muppet Movie, and his HBO series, Bored to Death, was renewed for a third season. RDJ, meanwhile, has been in London getting to work on the Sherlock Holmes followup alongside Jude Law and Guy Ritchie.

What to Rent: New DVD Tuesday
Entertainment time! Ready to beef up your ever-growing list of movies to watch? Here are the big DVD releases hitting today.
Coco Before Chanel
My friend Fab said she enjoyed this look at the fashion icon's life in her pre-label days, so I'm dying to get a glimpse of Coco Before Chanel at home — in the comfort of my very un-glamorous sweatpants, of course. Amelie actress Audrey Tautou stars as Gabrielle Chanel, the seamstress who used her handiwork (and her tenacity) to create a fashion empire. The Oscars have already recognized the film's pretty costuming, but I'm equally anxious to watch it for her love affairs and for Chanel herself, a total rebel and an incredible plum female role.
Extras include behind-the-scenes featurettes and an audio commentary.
Law Abiding Citizen
Warning: Beware if you have a queasy stomach. Law Abiding Citizen is a thriller about the justice system, but Saw-like killing sprees abound. The film centers on Gerard Butler as a family man who goes on a slasher bender after his daughter and wife are murdered. Jamie Foxx costars as the lawyer he's targeting for revenge. For the sake of full disclosure, I was not a fan when the movie came to theaters, but you may want to consider it if you love Gerard Butler — or just pure, bloody entertainment.
Extras include a behind-the-scenes featurette, audio commentary, and a mash-up trailer.

Valentine's Day: Plenty of Stars, Not Enough Heart
You've heard all the cliches before: that Valentine's Day is more about commercialism than love, that it was created by Hallmark and Hershey's, and so on. With that in mind, I can't say I was surprised to see that Hollywood finally decided to capitalize 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.

The Musical World Gets Together to Help Haiti
One day after music's biggest stars gathered in LA for the Grammys, many of them reconvened at the Jim Henson studios yesterday to record a new version of "We Are the World." The premiere of the single, which benefits Haiti, will take place during the Feb. 12 broadcast of the Vancouver Olympics opening ceremony on NBC. Kanye West was fresh from the French couture shows to join Jennifer Hudson and Wyclef Jean, while Joel Madden brought along little Harlow, who apparently flirted with the Jonas Brothers and Kanye. Benji Madden chatted with Rashida Jones, while Justin Bieber and Harry Connick Jr. mingled with Vince Vaughn.
Nicole Richie was there with Joel and Harlow, later joking, "I hope Jennifer Hudson wasn't upset that I was out singing her tonight." Lil Wayne had a little solo studio time, while Miley Cyrus and Pink bonded for a bit. Celine Dion, meanwhile, looked happy to share a moment with all three Jonas Brothers. Rashida's father, legendary producer Quincy Jones, was the man behind the original version of the song produced 25 years ago, and he was there again leading Hollywood's latest effort to help Haiti while also honoring Michael Jackson.
