Last night was the premiere of Tower Heist in NYC. I’ve gone back and forth on how this film will perform, if it will be any good, and whether I should take my mother to see it (she really wants to see it). Brett Ratner directed it, and IMO, Ratner = Self-aggrandizing BS. He’s just creepy as a person, and as a director… he’s a hack. But Tower Heist does feature an interesting ensemble including Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller, Alan Alda, Matthew Broderick and Gabourey Sidibe.
Anyway, last night’s premiere – Sarah Jessica Parker, wife of one of the stars of the film, ended up being the most photographed woman on the red carpet. What does that say about the movie? I don’t know. I do know that I hate her Narciso Rodriguez dress. I get the idea of it (I think): wear something low-key yet stylish to your husband’s premiere. I get that she didn’t want to wear a big gown (like Paz de la Huerta did… more on that in a moment), so I like that SJP was consciously like, “This is not my night.” But then she made it all about her anyway. I just don’t think the dress is pretty or well constructed, or even flattering on Sarah Jessica’s body. James Wilke is adorable, though.
Eddie Murphy! I can’t help it, I’m looking forward to the Oscars this year because Eddie is hosting. He needs to take off those sunglasses, though.
Next up: Paz de la Huerta, trying to steal SJP’s thunder, and the thunder of every one on the red carpet. Paz isn’t even in the movie! And she still put on a gown (with a really long train) and posed like crazy on the red carpet. Ridiculous.
Here’s Ben Stiller and Christina Taylor. She looks gorgeous – look at her beautiful face. She’s ageless. Ben is meh.
And last we have Gabourey Sidibe. I like her hair here.

Paz. Oy vey. SJP and Matthew have a cute kid. Are their twins as cute?
Unflattering is an understatement!
This is an oversized shapeless sack, even the bow-belt is too big and loose on her. It must be at least three sizes too large.
I like the dress SJP had on.
The only thing that seems off is the shoulder straps look a little wide. Like the dress was cut for someone with broad shoulders.
But otherwise it’s a cute dress and she is wearing great heels.
And not to spread gossip. But I thought Christine Taylor had left Ben Stiller. Something about him being a over bearing asshole. *shrugs*
I don’t like SJP’s dress, bu I have to be honest and admit that I have never found her even remotely attractive.
She has a long, horse face and it’s really not good coupled with that scrawny, skinny body with prominent veins.
I don’t understand how can anybody call her attractive.
Sidibe should loose weight, she is huge.
How can that much weight be attractive?
So unhealthy to carry such a burden for your bones and internal organs, like the heart for example.
Even young women let themselves go today, sad.
eeeeps. Never thought I would say that SJP was having a bad dress day. Then again, I think it may just be the angle of the shot; I’m sure she looked beautiful.
i really like christine taylor and wish she was in more things. she was great as sally sitwell.
I’ll always have a special place in my heart for SJP. Just wish she’d put on some weight though.
I can’t wait for the Murphs his oscar presentation! Going to try and watch it.
Stiller and Taylor had/have weight issues. Stiller def according to a blind, he is/was anorexic and I thought I noticed that on his last appearance on SNL? I saw him somewhere…
Sidibe has FACE, unfortunately I tend to look at her body more because it’s huge and so unhealthy. Too bad she thinks is beautiful and healthy.
That dress looks godawful in every single way.
And we won’t even go into her equine face.
OOOHHH…PAZ!!!
LOVE IT!!!
Looks like a horse blanket. (Too easy?)
“I like her hair here”. You cracked me up here:-)how very diplomatic of you! Sidibe’s dress is beyond ridiculous.
awwww…SJP’s son is adorable. Her dress is god awful. As always, Matthew looks pained to be seen with her. Eddie is looking good but Gabourey…I just can’t…get past the fat.
SJP should invest in a quantity of long evening style gloves, would go a long way to improving whatever else she throws on her horsey body.
I must be really grumpy today – I dont like any of these people (and that includes gross Eddie Murphy) and I hate all the dresses. Grrrr….
SJP needs more body for the dress. It’s very cute though, and James Wilke is adorable! So cute.
Gaborey’s dress is very pretty too, it’s really flattering IMO, and you wouldn’t assume silver would be.
SJP looks great – event appropriate and fun, Paz has gotta fly the nutjob that she is and the comment about Gabourey Sidibe’s hair is priceless.
I used to love Eddie Murphy – he could do no wrong in my book back in the day – but now he just bugs the shit out of me and seems like such douche and I want to punch him in the throat – is that bad?
Love me some SJP but this is awful.
It’s striking me like there’s something off in the proportions of the color blocks. The top part looks short and like someone said above the straps are too wide and heavy handed.
@Sumodo their twins are adorable!!
The dress is “meh”, but I’m more distracted by her veiny arms, man hands and horsey face. She is a small-framed girl to begin with, but she is just far too sinewy. Put a little weight on and her face will look 100% better (and younger).
As to Gabourey, I’m not even going to attempt to be politically correct. The girl, who is very pretty in the face, is morbidly obese. She has the wrist-equivalent of cankles. I mean, when you develop rolls of fat on your arms, it’s time to call Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers. It’s just not healthy and it’s a little painful to see such a young woman in such an unhealthy state.
Wow to Paz’s dress. So not the right time, but it sure looks amazing. Why can’t she do this when she is the focus?!
Sidibe? Her face might have been pretty a couple of hundred pounds ago. She’s how old? 27, I think? Old enough to make some responsible decisions about her health, to say nothing of her career. Unless she always wants to play fat parts.
Sarah Jessica Parker in Narciso Rodriguez: unflattering or cute?
how about option three?
horrifying.
