John C. Reilly was most certainly remaining in character at last night's LA premiere of Walk Hard, even serenading the crowd with his vocal stylings at one point. Also out for the big premiere was his co-star Jenna Fischer in a hot and decidedly non-Pam Beesley dress with some sky-high heels, guess her back is all better. Justin Long managed to stop making out with Drew long enough to make it out to the show and pose alongside one of your favorite comedic actors of the year, Seth Rogen. John Mayer happily looked tall alongside Zac and Vanessa while Will Ferrell kept it cowboy (I feel bad for the person sitting behind him). Not out with all his cronies was Michael Cera, who (somewhat surprisingly) is still winning as your favorite rising star of 2007. It's been a huge year for a lot of these guys, can't wait to see what they've all got up their sleeves (and fantastic pants in Reilly's case) next year.

Reese took a break from filming Four Christmases in SF to spend some time shopping for her own upcoming holiday in LA yesterday. We bet it's nice when stars get to take a little time off from work to go home, but in Reese's case, she might also be enjoying a break from her co-star. Apparently she and Vince Vaughn have been a clashing a bit over their varying work ethics. Gatecrasher reports:

"Vince rolls onto set in the morning looking like he just came in from a night out, while Reese will arrive early looking camera-ready. Then Reese tries to force Vince into blocking out each scene and running through their lines as Vince tries to convince her that he's an ad-libber and wants to play around and see where the scene goes. She's a one-take perfectionist and Vince likes to try it a few different ways. Sometimes Vince will be standing behind her and he has this look on his face that he just wants to kill her!"

Yikes — this all sounds pretty harsh, although we can totally envision Reese as the professional while Vince is the joker on set. Luckily, they're both such great actors that we bet the tension never even shows up on camera.

This evening, George Clooney and Don Cheadle received the 2007 Peace Summit Award at the Summit of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates in Rome. It's a big day for George, as he was also nominated for a Best Actor Golden Globe for Michael Clayton, but before getting excited about that there were more somber things on hand. The duo was honored for the work they've done raising awareness and money to aid the situation in Darfur through their organization, Not on Our Watch. At the ceremony, the actors were both given bronze statue by Italian sculptor Oliviero Rainaldi. The usually jokey Clooney was anything but lighthearted during his acceptance speech. He said:

"Don and I . . . stand here before you as failures. . . . The simple truth is that when it comes to the atrocities in Darfur those people are not better off now than they were years ago. The murders continue, the rapes continue and some two and a half million refugees are yet to go home. . . . We have an American election coming so this is the time to put pressure on American candidates, because believe me none of these people want to talk about this issue. . . . None of them want to deal with this issue, so right now is the time to place pressure on the people who can actually affect change because we can't."

He spoke to an audience including some of the biggest political figures of our time (and, of course, Miss Sarah Larson), people I'm sure the actors are honored to just stand next to. Clooney recently said that he is headed back to the Darfur region in January. Congratulations to Don and George for receiving this award, and, of course, bravo to them for all the hard work they've been doing.

Ryan Gosling spent Tuesday night at a screening of Lars and the Real Girl in NYC but he looked more adorable running errands yesterday. He must be excited that the sweetly quirky film earned him a Golden-Globe nomination this morning! Lately it feels like we've been low on Manjoyment moments, but luckily these photos arise for a perfect Thursday pick-me-up. As much as he's always had a special place in our hearts, he started to get puffy and too scruffy to be included in our manjoyment category. However, dropping out of Lovely Bones allowed for him to get back in shape, show us more of his cute face, and prop up his peacoat collar fabulously gaining our attention again. All of this gushing is almost enough to help us forget about his sad breakup with Rachel, which we'll work harder to stop mentioning once 2008 rolls around.
