"One thing I learned very early on is when you’re famous, you lose your right to privacy. And, if you promote your children, if you have them photographed, then they lose their rights. But, if you do not have them photographed and (do not) sell them to OK! magazine, they have the right to… privacy and citizenship.

"They (paparazzi) can follow me, take a picture, whatever they want to do. My kids, no."

-- Meryl Streep

Over the holiday weekend there wasn't too much going on, but now Hollywood actors and actresses are back in full swing. Last night Anne Hathaway stunned again on the red carpet at the Get Smart premiere in Rome, while Meryl Streep (LOVE that purple coat!) was busy working it down under at a photo call for Mamma Mia in Sydney.

And let's not forget the man candy. :) The Rock, Dominic Cooper, Steve Carell and Colin Firth weren't look too shabby...

At one point Steve even saved the day for Anne. Personal questions were strictly forbidden, but one reporter took a stab and asked her about her ex boyfriend. Anne got awkwardly silent and Steven jumped in, joking,

"In my role of agent [for] Miss Hathaway, I would like to say that she does not answer questions relating to this subject."

Tom Hanks & his wife Rita Wilson looked like Hollywood royalty as they walked the red carpet for the UK Premiere of, Mama Mia! in London yesterday. I adore Tom and it's nice to see him on the red carpet since he normally keeps to himself.

Also in attendance were the stars of the film, Colin Firth, Meryl Streep, and Pierce Brosnan. I can't wait to see this movie because it looks like a lot of fun. Anyone else interested? Oh and check out what Colin's wife wore to the event.
