'In Time': Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried on action, 'Alpha Dog' reunion

Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried and other stars of “In Time” arrived at the movie’s premiere Thursday in futuristic style, cruising up to the red carpet in the jet-black, no-door-handles limos featured in the film. More of the retro-inspired cars were on display at the premiere’s after-party, which transformed a Beverly Hills parking garage into a “Time Zone.”

The festivities stayed true to the time theme with all kinds of clocks scattered throughout the party’s tables, a wall of graffiti-painted phrases like “killing time” and “time will tell” and green-lighting the same color as the bioluminescent clock on the arms of the “In Time” characters.

Plenty of action comes with the film’s high-concept sci-fi elements, which wasn’t always easy on the bodies of cast, which also included Vincent Kartheiser and Olivia Wilde.

“I actually specifically tore my calf muscle in the scene where I kidnap Amanda,” Timberlake said on the red carpet outside the Regency Village Theatre. “I don’t recommend it. It’s extremely painful.”

"In Time" demanded a lot of running in high heels for Seyfried, who said, “I didn’t really like to run without holding Justin’s hand. He had saved my life the second day of shooting when I was wearing really tall Yves Saint Laurent shoes.”

Shooting action scenes still had its rewards. As Timberlake said, “Shooting guns, flipping cars, kicking bad guys’ [butt] -– every boyhood fantasy’s trapped in this movie for me.”

“In Time” created a bit of a reunion for Timberlake, Seyfried, Kartheiser and Wilde, who all appeared in “Alpha Dog” in 2006.

“Everyone’s doing so well…. Everyone’s just blowing up,” Kartheiser told Ministry of Gossip.

The “Mad Men” actor didn’t have any scenes with Seyfried in “Alpha Dog” but worked out with her for a month in preparation for the shoot.

“She’s as sweet as she was back then,” he said of working with her for “In Time,” where he plays her father in a world where the aging gene stops at age 25.

Slipping into the chemistry of the lead characters was easy for Seyfried, having co-starred with Timberlake in “Alpha Dog.”

“I felt really comfortable with him. I respect him a lot, and I think it shows,” she said.

“In Time” hits theaters Oct. 28.

Justin Timberlake's free NYC concert draws Kim Kardashian

Justin Timberlake isn't kidding about his Southern Hospitality — the actor opened up his restaurant by that same gentile name Wednesday in New York for a free concert.

To promote Free Sol, the band signed to his Tennman Records, Timberlake tweeted out news that he'd be jumping on the microphone this week despite his torch for acting.

"Wanna check out some live music tonight?? Meet me and @freesol at 45th & 9th at 11pm," JT wrote, adding the hashtags "#bbq" and "#youdontwanttomissthis."

That was enough to sell newlyweds Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, who came to the show with her sister Kourtney in tow, according to People. Also spotted was Timberlake's "In Time" costar Amanda Seyfried.

The band and their benefactor Justin performed several new tracks, closing down the show with a "soulful" a capella version of his hit "What Goes Around ... Comes Around."

Amanda Seyfried and Ryan Phillippe break up -- again

Amanda Seyfried and Ryan Phillippe have permanently switched their relationship to "off," according to a new report.

The actors have been hot and cold for seven months but finally called it quits. "It was mutual," a source tells Us magazine. "They were never fully committed." 

Romance rumors surrounded the pair since the beginning of their courtship in October 2010, on the heels of Seyfried's tumultuous split from actor Dominic Cooper. In January of this year, pictures of the two hugging on the set of the action thriller "Now" (since renamed "In Time") provided visual confirmation of their mutual affection.

It was never the smoothest road for Seyfried and Phillippe. In March, she waxed on how easy it was to take romance off-screen with the right costar.

It is "one of the easiest things in the world. You're both open. You're put in a situation where you have to make out with each other. It's easy for things to get carried away," she told Elle magazine.

On the heels of this confession, news broke that Phillippe was allegedly the father of actress Alexis Knapp's child. Phillippe requested a paternity test but indicated he'd support Knapp and the child if he indeed was the dad. 

Seyfried, according to Us, stood by Phillippe but -- alas -- they're dunzo.

"There's no bad blood. They're cool," the magazine's source adds.

Amanda Seyfried and Hailee Steinfeld: Who wore Prada better? [poll]

The shelf life of a dress for a high-profile actress can be quick, unless it's the Ministry-worthy occasion of a fashion repeat -- in which case we all ask, "Who wore it better?" In this case, it's Hailee Steinfeld versus Amanda Seyfried.

When Steinfeld earned her first major fashion moment on the SAG Awards red carpet, the world took note (including major critics like Andre Leon Talley) thanks to her bold and bright Prada number.

Nearly six weeks later, the (almost) exact same dress wound up on "Red Riding Hood" star Amanda Seyfried, and on the April cover of Elle. Our highly scientific analysis shows a different neckline for Hailee, plus a few more stripes of color for the "True Grit" youngster.

It's essentially the same dress, but do tell us, who wore it better?

Amanda Seyfried dishes on Ryan Phillippe, Dominic Cooper, Justin Timberlake

Amanda Seyfried is not the coy girl she once seemed to be: The "Red Riding Hood" actress will kiss and tell, especially when her leading men are Hollywood hotties such as Ryan Phillipe, Channing Tatum, Justin Timberlake and Dominic Cooper.

Seyfried, who's done soap operas, musicals and television, is channeling her pristine star power this month in a grown-up, spooky version of the children's story, directed by "Twilight" alum Catherine Hardwicke.

The 24-year-old "Big Love" actress and April's Elle cover girl -- styled in Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander McQueen while toting various furry critters -- opened up to the mag about being inspired by Meryl Streep, not wanting Botox and how she can't help falling for her leading men.

"[It is] one of the easiest things in the world. You're both open. You're put in a situation where you have to make out with each other. It's easy for things to get carried away," she said.

Her best on-screen kisses? "I can't lie. It didn't suck making out with Channing [Tatum] and Justin [Timberlake]."

For those trying to keep track, she did "Dear John" with Tatum and will costar with Timberlake in "Now."

And what of her roller coaster of a relationship with Cooper, her "Mamma Mia!" costar? Seyfried spoke candidly on the tumultuous romance and impending fallout that occurred when she thought he would break up with "Mean Girls" castmate Lindsay Lohan for her.

"I was just kind of foolishly thinking that the two of them were done and Dom and I were involved," she said. "But we weren't really as involved as I thought. So I got my heart broken pretty hard," she said. She and Cooper eventually got together, but "then it took a long time for us to break up again. After that, it's really hard to open myself up to a new person. Really hard."

In the meantime, she dated Alexander Skarsgard, but said she "was too involved with Dom."

So is she now dating Phillippe? "Um, yeah. I've been 'seen' with him," she said.

The issue hits newsstands March 22.

'Red Riding Hood' movie premiere: Amanda Seyfried, Catherine Hardwicke, Gary Oldman and the 'Idol' Top 13

OK, so it's "Little Red Riding Hood," only now the wolf is a werewolf, and Red, well -- she's not so little anymore, though she's definitely sexy. And the name is Valerie, thankyouverymuch. The woodsman? Make him an age-appropriate, orphaned love interest. Now mix in mysterious deaths timed to the cycles of the moon and, voila, you have "Red Riding Hood," circa 2011.

Amanda Seyfried and some of her co-stars in the Brothers-Grimm-meets-"Twilight"-generation drama rode a little red carpet Monday in Hollywood, joined by director Catherine Hardwicke who helmed the original "Twilight" installment back in 2008.

The werewolf-hunting Gary Oldman turned up with wife Alexandra Edenborough, facing the cameras along with fellow cast members Shiloh Fernandez (Red's crush), Max Irons (Red's parents' crush), Virginia Madsen, Adrian Holmes and Kacey Rohl.

Also spotted: Josh Brolin and Diane Lane, "The Twilight Saga" veteran Nikki Reed, Thomas Dekker of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," songwriter Diane Warren, Billy Zane, Rachel Fox, Lance Bass, Rebecca De Mornay and Emily Browning, soon to star in a sexed-up version of "Sleeping Beauty." Plus the appearance of the "American Idol" Top 13 contestants suggests we might see some scenes from the red carpet on this week's shows.

Meet Max Irons: The next Robert Pattinson?

When it comes to finding heartthrobs, Catherine Hardwicke has an impressive track record: first Emile Hirsch in "Lords of Dogtown," then the hiring of Robert Pattinson for a little franchise known as "Twilight." 

With her forthcoming "Red Riding Hood," Hardwicke brings Max Irons, another hot unknown who may just catapult into the Hirsch-Pattinson stratosphere.

The 25-year-old son of actors Jeremy Irons and Sinéad Cusack. Max, whose parents thoroughly discouraged him from taking their profession, spilled his essentials recently to Elle.

"They immediately said, ‘You will most likely have a life of unhappiness, financial turmoil, jealousy, and paranoia,' " he told the mag.

Clearly, Hardwicke's call was too hard to resist. 

"He's 6-foot-3, drop-dead gorgeous, and has this crazy magnetism," Hardwicke says of her star, who will play opposite Amanda Seyfried in the sexier retelling of the classic. 

The director also sees some RPattz parallels.

"Like Rob, Max is fearless and physically throws himself into a character," she said.

'Big Love': Ginnifer Goodwin, Chloë Sevigny, Bill Paxton premiere final season

As "Big Love" prepared to take a bow with its final season, the cast of the HBO polygamy hit -- including Bill Paxton, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloë Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin -- gathered in West Hollywood to start saying their goodbyes.

The leads were all smiles as the core family of husband and wives, greeting industry types and fans at the Directors Guild of America on Wednesday.

Never disappointing in her sartorial choices, Sevingy showed up in a halter dress that certain spoofers would adore. Goodwin kept up her fashion-pixie shtick with handsome fiancé Joey Kern.

Other "Love" folks, including Mary Kay Place, new addition and "Melrose Place" alum Grant Show, and Universal movie head Donna Langley, partook in festivites held afterward at the DGA.

A dessert spread included wedding cakes for Paxton's Bill Henrickson and all three of his brides. Big names absent from the fete included Amanda Seyfried and series co-producer Tom Hanks. Click the photo of Tripplehorn, above, to see more pictures from the premiere.

Will you miss the thrice-wived Henrickson family when "Big Love" goes dark after Season 5? Tell us in comments.

Lindsay Lohan out of rehab? Not so fast [poll]

Lindsay Lohan can legally leave rehab as of Monday, but it looks as if she's putting off the transition for at least a few days.

"It's going to be soon. I'm not going to say it's today, but it's a very controlled move," dad Michael Lohan said Monday on CBS' "The Early Show."

"She needs all the right elements in place when she gets out and waiting for that to happen, and she's being very patient about it. I'm so proud of where she is now, and I don't want that to falter. She's really come full turn."

The "Mean Girls" actress has been at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage since shortly after failing a couple of court-ordered drug tests in September. Though she entered voluntarily, in October the judge in the case ordered her to stay through Jan. 3.

She may stay there through Saturday, reported TMZ, which also also had a picture of a truck allegedly moving things from LiLo's West Hollywood condo to a temporary home in Venice Beach.

Ryan Phillippe wishes Reese Witherspoon the best on engagement to Jim Toth

Ryan Phillippe sent sweet tidings to ex-wife Reese Witherspoon on Thursday, in regards to her recent engagement to Jim Toth.

"I'm very happy for both Reese and Jim," the actor said in a statement to the New York Daily News. "I wish nothing but the best for the mother of my children." 

Phillippe and Witherspoon were young Hollywood royalty when they hooked up in the late '90s in a relationship that gained popularity with the release of the teen hit "Cruel Intentions," costarring Sarah Michelle Gellar. The couple, who have kids Ava and Deacon together, separated in 2006 and divorced in 2007, after which Witherspoon dated actor Jake Gyllenhaal. 

The "Sweet Home Alabama" star took up with CAA's Toth after Gyllenhaal's exit. Phillippe is rumored to be dating actress Amanda Seyfried.
