UK Speed Racer Premiere

A Little Rain Can't Slow Down Speed Racer

April 29, 2008

The stars of Speed Racer had a bit of inclement weather to deal with on the red carpet at the movie's London premiere, but that didn't keep the smiles off their faces. Emile Hirsch, Susan Sarandon, and Christina Ricci did their best to stay dry with the help of an umbrella or twelve. Meanwhile, little Rocco Ritchie looked like he would've preferred to stay dry inside, but we give the family credit for braving the storm and reminding us all to buy Madonna's new album.

Hi every oneI happened to pass through Leicester Sq. the night the premiere was being held (while on a holiday in London) but before the activities on the red carpet got under way. It was freezing that night with wind and rain. I stopped a few moments and took a couple of photos of the front of the theatre and the very large, flashing, tv screen that had been set up out front. Lots of looky loos standing around and big trucks, equipment, security guards, etc.As it would be another hour before Red Carpet time I headed to Garfunkels for some dinner and then over to the ENO/Coliseum theatre for The Merry Widow. It was WAY TOO COLD to hang out and see what stars turned up for Speed Racer. I figured that Lost's Foxy/Jack was off in warm Hawaii shooting the finale for the show anyway and would not be in London for this premiere.So was the movie any good?ArlieSo.California

The first thing I saw was how skinny Ricci is. Not a good look.

Christina is a bobblehead. She's cute but looks completely out of proportion. Emile looks great though! :)

Susan Sarandon is one of my absolute favorites! Poor little Rocco looks like he needs a blanket and some hot cocoa! Too cute.

ditto on everyone's comments about all of em - Susan still gorgeous, Emile :howyoudoin: and Christina , way too skinny girl.I've heard that Christina has always had issues with her weight, i would have hoped she was one of those stars that wasn't drawn in by the hollywood skinny trend. she looks kinda sick.
