Justin Timberlake left his lady at home but still made a cute pair with Mike Myers at the premiere of The Love Guru in LA last night. New mom Jessica Alba also had to sit this one out, but her costars were more than willing to take care of the talking, joking, and funny faces. JT dished about getting another acting role under his belt but made it clear that music is still his passion, saying, "I'd love to be a two sport athlete, if you're asking me what I'm hoping for. I don't think I could ever walk away from music." It's nice to hear the pop star won't be leaving his first love, especially since lately it seems he's enjoying the opportunity to play such well-endowed characters.

One of our favorite funny guys, Andy Samberg, had lots of help from his friends at the premiere of his big movie debut in Hot Rod. In the movie, he plays a wannabe stuntman preparing for the bike jump of his life. Andy's SNL co-stars Seth Meyers and Fred Amisen posed on the red carpet, while his buddy Shia was looking awfully greasy, much to our disappointment. At least Isla, who also stars in the movie, looked absolutely adorable as usual. Even though Sacha didn't walk her down the red carpet, Andy kept it playful with lots of belly rubs. The movie hits theaters on August 3rd, but be sure to check back next week for Buzz's review and interview with Andy Samberg!

Uh-oh. Okay, okay, before I jump to any conclusions, Jake Gyllenhaal could have been anywhere last night instead of showing up at this LA Zodiac screening. Maybe he had plans. Maybe he wanted to stick around New York. Maybe he was sick of watching his movie every night. Maybe he had to wash his hair. But...it does seem a little odd that he wasn't there last night with the rest of the cast, right? Probably nothing though. No need for rumor mongering...Well, gotta say I missed seeing his happy little face.

The stars came out last night to honor Brad Grey, Paramount's Chairman and CEO as well as partner with Brad Pitt in Plan B. It was strictly A-list on the red carpet for the Free Clinic Annual Dinner Gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. We already showed you how J Lo looked stunning at the event. The Last Kiss couple Jacinda and Zach were at the party along with powerhouse Sumner Redstone and Brian Grazer. Marky Mark and Claire Danes were there too.

Sumner Redstone fired Tom Cruise this summer and in an interview in December's VF he continues to bash him. He calls Tom a total embarrassment to Paramount and said his wife helped him make the decision to fire him. Page Six sums it up for us. Here's more:

Confirming a Page Six exclusive, Redstone admits it was his wife, Paula, who first soured on Cruise, which resulted in his decision not to renew Paramount's megabucks deal with Cruise's production company. "Paula, like women everywhere, had come to hate him. The truth of the matter is, I did listen to her . . ." Redstone says. "His behavior was entirely unacceptable to Paula and to the rest of the world. He just didn't turn one [woman] off. He turned off all women, and a lot of men."

Redstone estimates that Cruise's antics - acting wacky, ripping into psychiatry, firing his professional publicist - were the key elements in the star's downfall: "When did I decide [to fire him]? I don't know. When he was on the 'Today' show? When he was jumping on a couch at 'Oprah'? He changed his handler, you know, to his sister [LeAnne Devette] - not a good idea."

Redstone estimates that Cruise's bizarre behavior cost Paramount "$100 million, $150 million on 'Mission: Impossible III.' It was the best picture of the three, and it did the worst." He isn't sorry he embarrassed Cruise publicly: "The explosion was good. It sent a message to the rest of the world that the time of the big star getting all this money is over. And it is! I would like to think that what I did, or what we did, has had a salutary effect on the rest of the industry."

Stay Tuned. We bet Tom's people will react to these statements. Another fire Tom has to put out right before his big wedding day.
