Evan Rachel Wood and Marisa Tomei are fashion forward in NYC

Evan Rachel Wood and Marisa Tomei made quite the fashionable pair at the premiere of The Ides of Marchheld at the Ziegfeld Theater on Wednesday, October 5th, 2011 in New York City, New York.The fiery-haired Evan rocked the red carpet in a burgundy, leather Preen dress and matching Salvatore Ferragamo pumps.

But my favorite thing about her entire look is the stunning hat featuring a purple bow on it! It gave the ensemble a mysterious vibe kicked in with a little old school flavor.

Wood and Tomei first co-starred in the highly lauded Darren Aronofsky film The Wrestler in 2008 before working on The Ides of March and the duo have talked about how great it was to work together again.

Producer, Director, Writer and star of the film George Clooney also made a sexy appearance at the Big Apple premiere sans rumored new girlfriend Stacy Keibler.

Catch The Ides of March when it hits theaters on October 7th.

‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ NYC Premiere

The highly anticipated comedy flick, Crazy, Stupid, Love made its NYC premiere last night at the Ziegfield Theater. The A-list cast including handsome fellas Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling along side the very beautiful Emma Stone, Julianne Moore and Marisa Tomei all in attendance. Steve was accompanied by his wife, Nancy, while Julianne brought her son.

Many are now wondering if the undeniable chemistry onscreen between Emma and Ryan has transcended into real life love. The duo appeared very cutesy with each other on the red carpet, Emma even commenting to E! News on Ryan’s “dapper” appearance.

Well if these onscreen lovers are really dating, I’ll be first to high five to this couple!

Matthew McConaughey Lays Down the Law

Matthews McConaughey and Marisa Tomei were spotted on the set of their new film, The Lincoln Lawyer. Matt looks, er, relaxed, as he walks around the set. It looks like he and Marisa are getting along quite well, I hope the chemistry comes across on screen too.

The Lincoln Lawyer is based on a book by the same title, written by author Michael Connelly. The main character, Mickey Haller (McConaughey), is a lawyer who works out the back of his Lincoln Town Car, hence the title. He travels around Los Angeles, defending clients of all types, until one day a hot shot Beverly Hills man hires him. He ends up finding out he sent an innocent man to death row and may now be defending the killer… Other big names attached to the film are William H Macy, Ryan Phillipe (who wants to bet he’s the hot shot from Beverly Hills?), John Leguizamo, and even country singer Trace Adkins.
