Sugar Bits — Check Out Mischa Barton's DUI Mugshot!
- So here we have it, Mischa Barton's mugshot after being caught driving under the influence, in possession of narcotics and without a license last night. Finishing out the year, Marissa Cooper style. What do you guys think — could it have beaten Shia in our best mugshot of 2007 poll?
First Look: Hancock
Hancock, Peter Berg's directorial follow-up project to The Kingdom, stars Will Smith as a ragged modern-day superhero who has fallen out of the public's favor. When he hires a PR guy (Jason Bateman) to help clean up his public image, Hancock winds up falling for the man's wife (Charlize Theron).
This new teaser trailer for the movie — which opens July 2 — is a little bizarre, as drunk modern-day superheroes are wont to be, and not entirely interesting, but there are some funny bits.

Berlin Gets Robbie Williams in Concert For Free
Robbie Williams had had a fantastic week, kicking off with the BBC Electric Proms on Tuesday, then hearing he would receive the Outstanding Contribution Brit at 2010's ceremony, and yesterday he put on a free surprise mini-concert for the people of Berlin. Robbie sang for forty minutes to the thousands of screaming fans who showed up for the open-air gig in front of the Max Schmeling Halle in Prenzlauer Berg. Robbie was spotted with his girlfriend Ayda Field backstage and then straight after the show he headed to a private jet clutching Peter Hook's book The Hacienda in his hand.
Hancock Swoops Into LA With Smiths Galore and More
After a trip around the world, Hancock hit LA last night with a high profile premiere. The Smith family is quite the red carpet pack now, perfecting the group pose for the camera — Jada was looking especially gorgeous in green — before Will was off to also pose with his costars. The next big movie star (at least in his head) Diddy was there as was Charlize nuzzling up to Stuart and Jason Bateman with his wife.
Charlize Breaks From Hancock to Battle With Stuart
Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend cozied up for the cameras to show off their documentary Battle in Seattle at a screening in LA yesterday with the likes of Matthew McConaughey and Camila. While they managed to keep it G-rated on the red carpet, Stuart joked that Charlize had to sleep with him in order to win a role in his movie, to which she replied, "You’re still making me sleep with you.” His lady may be happy to playfully flirt with co-star Will Smith on those Hancock red carpets, but it sounds like Charlize is still having the most fun with her main man.

Will Smith Premieres His Hancock in Paris
You know July 4th is around the corner when Will Smith starts his worldwide promotional tour for his latest Summer blockbuster. This year the festivities kicked off in Paris with his Hancock co-stars, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman. Charlize admitted to Will's hotness and while they seem to be kissy on the red carpet we doubt their significant others have anything to worry about.
The Kingdom Comes To LA
Jennifer Garner was the lady in red at the LA premiere of The Kingdom last night. She is just gorgeous when she glams it up. Will and Jada (in bright pink shorts formal wear - yowza) came out to support their friends' premiere and ham it up with Jamie Foxx on the red carpet.
