‘The Hangover 2’ was one morning after that celebrities and power players weren’t complaining about a bit at the party following the movie’s world premiere Thursday night in Hollywood.
Hollywood Boulevard had been shut down outside Grauman’s Chinese Theater for the red-carpet premiere, which attracted ‘Hangover 2’ stars including Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha, and a predictably epic party kicked into gear.
A vacant lot just across the street was built out to model the Bangkok streets scandalized by the ‘Hangover’ Wolfpack in the sequel.
Many a booze and Thai food station awaited the likes of Diddy, Robert Downey Jr. with wife Susan, and cast members Mike Tyson, Jamie Chung and Ken Jeong.
‘Harry Potter’ star Tom Felton held court at the Bing photo booth, posing with props beside a faux-tattoo station where Clippers star Blake Griffin contemplated some temporary ink.
Cute couple Kristen Bell and Dax Shephard mingled freely with snowboarder Shaun White, a pregnant Alyssa Milano and Rainn Wilson.
Director Todd Philips was the man to congratulate, with honchos like Steve Bing among the well-wishers plus stars Cooper, Helms and Downey Jr. flanking his table. Helms, arguably the film’s lead, counted his mom as his date.
‘Doesn’t he look like a nice southern boy?’ Mrs. Helms asked, nodding to her son’s Brooks Brothers suit. (Ed is an Atlanta native.)
‘This is all fun,’ a glowing Chung said when asked if her role as Helms’ bride-to-be was overwhelming.
As Kanye West tunes blasted after midnight, boxer-turned-actor Tyson may have summed it up best as he departed: ‘Funny-ass movie.’
