While I realize that Extraordinary Measures is a movie that stars Harrison Ford, Keri Russell and Brendan Fraser and I probably should put one of their mugs as the main pictures, common sense prevailed and I put Gerard Butler’s instead.  He’s sexier, so sue me.  It’s Gerard Butler, y’all!  Need I say more? And I think he looks kind of hot in his jeans.

And of course it got me thinking to the sexual assault on David Beckham that I reported yesterday, and I wondered, what Gerard Butler would do if he had his gonads jacked in public by a complete stranger?  Would he have been horrified?  Methinks not.  The place would have turned into an orgy.  But I digress.

Last night was the New York premiere of Extraordinary Measures which is:

A drama centered on the efforts of John and Aileen Crowley to find a researcher who might have a cure for their two children’s rare genetic disorder

Harrison Ford also served as executive produced on the film which is based on a true story about a man whose children both have Pompe disease which is a rare form of muscular dystrophy that normally takes its victims before the age of 9.  The man, John Crowley quits his job and forms a biotech company with a brilliant researcher to look for a cure.

You know you’re going to need tissues for this film.

Attending the premiere besides the aforementioned:

• Andrew McCarthy
• Brooke Shields
• Lucy Lawless
• Tony Bennett
• Steve Guttenberg
• Andy Whitfield
