The WGA strike pressed on in LA yesterday, bringing out actors like Masi Oka, Ali Larter, and Sandra Oh who headed to the picket lines in support of their writers. Alicia Keys lightened things up a bit by performing her new single, but we all know how serious the issue is for everyone involved. Yesterday marks the last day of picketing before Thanksgiving, and we're keeping our fingers crossed that a compromise can be reached soon. We're already feeling the effects of losing some of our favorite shows so hopefully the writers and producers can make some headway in their scheduled talks next week.
Kate Hudson, Kirsten Dunst and Rita Wilson made it a black and white affair at the premiere of their Glamour Reel films last night in L.A. Kate's film, Cutlass co-starred her "dad" Kurt Russell, Dakota Fanning and her boyfriend Dax Shepard (the latter two were no shows last night). Birthday boy Chevy Chase was also back in action as one of the stars in Kate's film. Kirsten's movie Welcome starred Winona Ryder and Rita's film called The Trap starred Jeanne Tripplehorn. All three directors looked very happy to debut their hard work. You can check out the films on Glamour's site and even better - when you download the flicks they donate some money!
