GRINDHOUSE032607_44.jpgEven though most of the bigger celebrities are scheduled to appear tomorrow night's Austin premiere of Grindhouse, Robert Rodriguez' and Quentin Tarantino's mash note to trashy flicks, the film's producers couldn't resist rolling out the blood-red carpet for a night glorifying gore last night at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles! And unsurprisingly, the stars turned out in a big way - we caught Rose McGowan, Rosario Dawson, Naveen Andrews, Eva Mendes, Marley Shelton, Carla Gugino, Freddie Rodriguez, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Sydney Tamiia Poitier making the scene! We also caught Kobe Bryant, who doesn't appear in the movie - but with how he's been slashing through defenses and cutting to the net lately, all the action probably suited him just fine!
