In downtown Hollywood last night the streets were awash - not only with excited fans dress-to-the-nines swarming Mann's movie theatres for coveted seats at a couple of hot-ticket film premieres (at the tail end of a sold-out film festival) - but graced with the dazzling presence of two popular stars pushing their careers and new flicks on the infamous strip.
Pretty Halle Berry was the epitome of style and good taste - when she flirted with the paparazzi in the main foyer of the Roosevelt Hotel - after holding court (where she offered up career tid-bits) in Mann's Chinese Theatre earlier in the evening to a packed house.
"I can't believe I just met Halle Berry," one fan gushed, as she strode past me, and disappeared into the ecstatic crowd of well-wishers who turned out - Hollywood-style - in full force.
Ms. Berry was invited to appear last evening at the historic Hollywood landmark to chat up an insightful host about her outstanding career accomplishments before (and behind) the camera here and abroad.
Berry will soon burst onto the silver screen in her next project - Frankie & Alice - which is a rivetting feature based on the true story of a woman suffering from mulitple personality disorders.
The gifted actress (who produced Frankie & Alice) won the Academy Award for Monster's Ball in 2001.
Meanwhile, rumors were spreading around the "Walk of Fame" that Mark Whalberg would be trotting down the red carpet to attend a "secret" screening of his new flick "The Fighter".
A couple of the local entertainment papers were issuing freebies to catch the drama, with strict orders from the producers not to discuss the details, however.
The theatre staff were forebidden to reveal the name of the project (or who was starring in it) until the guests were firmly ensconced inside the main theatre where security was tight.
Insiders tipped me off earlier in the evening - so I was able to enlighten a couple of folks about the hush-hush preview - so they could get into the rush line with the ultimate aim of catching the screen offering last-minute.
Is the studio a bit jittery about Wahlberg's latest vehicle for some reason?
