Okay these I like. Sure, it’s always nice to see Tom Cruise glowering out from beneath a hoodie, but we’ve been looking at that image from Mission:Impossible – Ghost Protocol for months. Who else ya got? Well, as we’ve known for some time, they’ve got Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Anil Kapoor, Michael Nyqvist, Lea Seydoux and some guy in a blue suit that I can only assume is Vladimir Mashkov. Okay, where’s Ving Rhames’ poster? Or Josh Holloway’s?

Well I guess it’s a start. These came from the film’s UK Facebook page, so it’s possible we’ll get more. In the meantime, What’s very cool about these is that we can kind of figure out who everyone is from their poster and the subtle differences in the tag lines. The IMF team of Ethan Hunt (Cruise), Brandt (Renner), Benji Dunn (Pegg) and Jane Carter (Patton) all get “No Plan. No Backup. No Choice.” Makes sense since we know from the trailers and clips that the team has been disavowed and are being framed for bombing the Kremlin and trying to kill the Russian President. All in a day’s work.

But then, on the posters for Kurt Hendricks (Nyqvist), and two other people who apparently have no names (at least according to imdb), the characters belonging to Lea Seydoux and Vladimir Mashkov, all have “No Plan. No Backup. No Mercy.” Are we to take from that that they are the villains? And where does that leave Brij Nath (Kapoor) whose poster says “No Plan. No Backup. No Secrets”? Are there no secrets because he knows them all? Is he a double agent of some sort? Hmmm…

The goodies are coming at us nearly nonstop now that the wait is thankfully getting shorter. Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol opens in half the world (starting with Dubai where it will open the Dubai International Film Festival) between December 14-16, including US IMAX on the 16^th before opening wide in the US and Canada on December 21. The UK gets it on the 26^th.

Kiefer Sutherland finally made it back from London where he was stranded because of the volcanic ash to attend the series finale party of his beloved 24 which was held last night at Boulevard 3 in Los Angeles.

We need to have some kind of day of mourning for the loss of Kiefer Sutherland and the cast of 24.  It’s still hard to believe we won’t be seeing Kiefer’s fine ass running around fighting terrorists on our televisions any more.  Thank gawd for DVD’s.

To me, Dennis Haysbert was the best POTUS ever! It is so nice to see him at this party, but I couldn’t find pictures of Elisha Cuthbert, Cherry Jones or Glenn Morshower who plays Aaron Pierce (omg I love Aaron Pierce).

And of course my invitation never arrived which pisses me off.  What a waste of a Brazilian.  If Kiefer needs some consolation for  this difficult time in his life he can reach me at the address on the restraining orders.  It’s still current.

If I have the opportunity to post additional pictures I will do so to this post and send a message on my Twitter account when I do so.

At the party:

• Kim Raver
• Carlos Bernard
• Sarah Clarke
• Xander Berkeley
• Leslie Hope
• Penny Johnson
• Annie Wersching
• Mary Lynn Rajskub
• Anil Kapoor
• Jeffrey Nordling
• Chad Lowe
• Kim Painter
• Jon Voight
• John Boyd
• James Morrison

Freida Pinto and Dev Patel pose as they attend the 18th Annual BAFTA/LA Britannia Awards held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles last night .  Danny Boyle, the director of the movie they met on, Slumdog Millionaire, had no idea there were sparks between the two:

“I was a bit surprised at first, but then those things tend to pass me by!… I’m delighted for them, they seem to be real soulmates and I’m sure more than that. I’m very happy for them – it seems lovely.”

Danny received the John Schlesinger Britannia Award for Artistic Excellence last night. Other winners included  Colin Firth who won the Humanitarian Award, Emily Blunt the British Artist of the Year, Kirk Douglas the Britannia Award for Worldwide Contribution to Filmed Entertainment and Robert De Niro picked up the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film.

Besides the winners, Claire Danes and Amy Adams attended and are pictured.

Melanie Brown, Anil Kapoor and MY MAN Kiefer Sutherland are all seen in Manhatten outside of their hotel room. 

I’m not feeling particularly witty today so I really don’t have anything to say about MY MAN Kiefer Sutherland except to say I wish I were in his hotel room waiting for him.  And he knew about it.  This time I don’t feel right about jumping out and ‘surprising’ him.  That look of horror on his face last time changed me.  I almost felt bad.  And ashamed.  Especially when security ‘escorted’ me out of the building.  That was really nice of Kiefer to see that I made it to my car safely.  See!! That’s why I love him.
