I won’t make a joke about finding Carmen San Diego.

Evan Rachel Wood, George Clooney and Marisa Tomei walked the red carpet last night at the The New York screening of “The Ides of March” held at the Ziegfeld Theater.

Evan wore a red leather dress by Gucci. What do you think?

Madonna hit the red carpet last night in a custom baby blue Vionnet gown. Her red butterfly embellished dress was complemented by red glitter Miu Miu sunglasses.

The movie’s star, Abbie Cornish looks absolutely stunning in a Atelier Versace Spring 2011 gown. Marisa Tomei looks gorgeous in a dress by Erdem.

I’m kind of impressed with Madonna’s look! She looks really pretty! Usually she opts for such dark clothing. It’s nice to see her lighten it up a bit!

Unfortunately, her movie, ‘W.E.’ is already being panned by critics.

Madonna may be the “queen of pop,” but her crown as movie director slipped this week after most early reviews of her second feature film “W.E.” ranged from middling to poor.

The picture, which had its world premiere at the Venice film festival on Thursday, is loosely based on the life of American divorcee Wallis Simpson, whose affair with Kind Edward VIII led to his abdication.

Madonna said she had been fascinated by the story for some time, pondering why a man would make such a huge sacrifice for love.

Andrea Riseborough stars as Simpson and Abbie Cornish as a modern-day woman who becomes obsessed with the person who prompted a constitutional crisis in 1936.

Britain’s Guardian newspaper did not spare Madonna’s feelings with a one-out-of-five star review.

“Could it be that Madonna is in deadly earnest here?” wrote Xan Brooks.

“If so, her film is more risible than we had any right to expect; a primped and simpering folly, the turkey that dreamed it was a peacock.”

Others were less damning, although the general tone was negative and one website quipped that it may be time for the 53-year-old singer to abdicate as a film maker.

Todd McCarthy of the Hollywood Reporter opined: “Madonna’s second foray into directing is pleasing to the eyes and ears, but lacking anything for the soul.”

The budget of W.E. is estimated to be around $15 million, and it hits movie theatres in North America in December.

I’m not a huge fan of Madonna on film. Either behind the camera – or in front. I’m not sure who’s giving her money to direct movies. Maybe she’s fronting it herself?

Look at all the beautiful people! Marisa Tomei is wearing a Preen Fall 2011 ensemble. Evan Rachel Wood wore a suit by Dolce & Gabbana.

I’d like to know where costar Ryan Gosling is, however. He has a lead in the political drama… NY Times also noticed Ryan’s absense, and dug a little deeper!

Ryan Gosling raised eyebrows at the Venice Film Festival yesterday with his conspicuous absence from the premiere of “The Ides of March.” Gosling doesn’t just star in the film, as a press secretary seduced by Washington’s dark side, he’s directed by George Clooney (who plays the candidate.) Given Clooney’s status in Hollywood, one insider noted that Gosling’s failure to show was a “big deal,” especially since co-stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Evan Rachel Wood and Marisa Tomei made it to the red carpet.

Gosling’s work in the period crime flick “The Gangster Squad” has been reported as the reason he didn’t attend, and his rep explained to us that although shooting doesn’t begin until Sept. 6, Gosling has be in rehearsals “every day.” As for how Clooney felt about not having his leading man at the premiere, his rep did not respond by our deadline.

Matthew McConaughey films a scene in a new project titled “The Lincoln Lawyer” in Los Angeles, California with his co-star Marisa Tomei.

Lionsgate provided this synopsis of the film: “Mickey Haller (McConaughey) is a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney who operates out of the back of his Lincoln Continental sedan. Haller has spent most of his career defending garden-variety criminals, until he lands the case of a lifetime: defending a Beverly Hills playboy accused of murder. But the seemingly straightforward case suddenly develops into a deadly game of survival for Haller.”

Marisa Tomei got upset at photographers when she was caught walking out and about in Manhattan without any makeup on. I still think she looks great! Don’t you?
