The men of Tropic Thunder paid a visit to TRL yesterday afternoon, showing off their comedic skills for a slightly younger audience. The trio made us all laugh during their MTV Movie Awards skit, so they're more than in with the MTV set — you know, beyond the fact that they're major movie stars. From there, it was group date night out at the Waverly Inn, joined by Ben's wife Christine Taylor. The boys' movie hit theaters yesterday and while it's been boycotted by some, it's also getting pretty good reviews, including from Buzz! Not winning quite as many raves? RDJ's mustache.

Beyonce Knowles was back at the airport yesterday, this time departing LAX just one day after arriving in style. The singer wore another casually chic outfit, matching her blingin' top to the new wedding ring she's been showing off lately. While Beyonce was making her way through security, she coincidentally crossed paths with a certain glum-looking fellow we all know and love. Even though John was hiding under his hoodie, maybe a glimpse of glamorous Beyonce helped cheer up his day a little.

It feels like forever since the last time Rachel McAdams was promoting a movie, but now she's back on the scene to gear up for her new film The Lucky Ones. We won't be able to catch her acting skills until Sept. 26, but how fabulous does she look in this vampy photo shoot for T magazine? We got a peek at the cover earlier in the week, but here are highlights from the interview where she talks career, kisses, and why her personal life is so sacred. Here are highlights:

• On becoming an actress: "When you live in a small town in the middle of Ontario, it would have been too big of a dream to say that you want to go to Hollywood. But, secretly, I think I always knew. When I was young, I was a figure skater, and every year there was an ice carnival. I lived for the carnival. That's when the actress in me first came out. I loved the costumes and the sparkles. One year, I got to play Marilyn Monroe on ice. I danced to 'Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.' I wore a long blond wig and a red dress with sequins. It was heavenly."
• On working at McDonald's: "I had a small-town life — I worked at the local McDonald's for three years. I'm not sure why they kept me: I am something of a daydreamer and a dawdler, so they would only let me be the 'friendly voice' that greeted you when you entered the restaurant. I was slow — I would be organizing the sweet-and-sour packets in the customer's takeout bag while the line snaked out the door. Even at a fast-food restaurant, I wanted everything just so."
• On kissing scenes: "They're strange. A kiss with anyone, on or off camera, can be intimidating. I've been kissing for nearly two decades now, and I'm always convinced I'm not doing it right. Chemistry is so important in a great kiss. You can act your way through anything, but it's hard with a kiss. It's much better if there's an attraction."

Audrina Patridge looked like one happy girl as she made her way out of the Rainbow Room in LA last night with her new man, BMX rider Corey Bohan. The pair apparently met last October and have dated during breaks in her on-and-off relationship with Justin Bobby. Her love life sounds a bit complicated, but we're sure to get the inside scoop when The Hills starts again this Monday. Audrina also has another TV project in the works; she's been offered a guest spot on Jerry O'Connell's upcoming program Do Not Disturb. Now that she's got the job offers rolling in and a blossoming romance, hopefully Audrina won't be dwelling on any possible housemate drama.

Paris Hilton was back in LA yesterday after her blink-and-you'll-miss-it trip to NYC to catch the Good Charlotte show on Tuesday evening. Despite having been away for just one night, in true Paris fashion she had multiple bags — though we suppose she deserves some credit for limiting her luggage to carry-on size. Since the Madden men are set to continue their tour for the next couple weeks, perhaps Paris and Nicole Richie can keep each other company while they're both home in California.
