Week in film: meeting Mr Nice and camping out before Twilight

Our tour through the week begins on a note of exquisite good taste. Here's Russell Brand and Jonah Hill at a London photocall for Get Him to the Greek. Each man has brought along their three wives, like Jacob Zuma at the World Cup opening ceremony. Any moment now they will swap them as a sign of high regard

The air of romance even affects giant green ogres. It's at the UK gala screening of Shrek Forever After that the film's star makes his move on Stacey Solomon. Later, he will eat her

More hugs? More hugs. This is Howard Marks embracing Rhys Ifans, who plays Marks in Mr Nice. They're at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, so it's possible they're hugging each other to keep warm

Also pitching up in Edinburgh, Sir Sean Connery, who brings a dash of the tropics to a gala screening of The Man Who Would Be King

From here we jaunt to LA, where fans camp outside the Nokia Theatre ahead of the premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the latest Twilight saga that this time is about an eclipse

And look, right here are some of the stars of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. At least, we think these are the stars, and the others were the fans. It could conceivably be the other way around

At the Four Seasons hotel in LA, directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino are caught in an unguarded moment. This is how they look when they're just kicking back and hanging loose and have no idea that someone is snapping their picture

A rare treat for visitors to Tim Burton: The Exhibition in Melbourne. It's Tim Burton: The Man. Punters can now compare and contrast the two and decide which one to rate and which one to hate

It's the premiere of a film called Grown Ups over in New York City. Salma Hayek is there. Turns out she's also in the movie. This bizarre coincidence abruptly makes her come over all faint

Who's for A Conversation with Sylvester Stallone at the Los Angeles Film Festival? Sly seems to be, and is here to welcome us all and converse us to death. Answer back and he'll shoot you in the head

Now fly like the wind to the cruise ship Costa Atlantica, where Anita Ekberg celebrates 50 years of La Dolce Vita. The picture shows her cavorting in the Trevi fountain, a half-century ago. It's like Dorian Gray in reverse

Bollywood actor Salman Khan is making a new movie. It's called Ready. To commemorate this event, he lights an oil lamp at the Taj hotel in Colombo. In the event that Ready flops, the oil lamp will be put out with urine

It was a good week for Tilda Swinton, who was graced with the Excellence in Acting award at the Provincetown International Film Festival in Massachusetts – the one-time home of Moby-Dick

But the week brought tragic news as well. Susan Sarandon has hurt her foot. Undeterred, the star hauled her lovely though possibly broken bones down to the premiere of Great Directors at New York's Museum of Modern Art

To the National Press Club now in Washington DC, where Oliver Stone has something to say. It's about his latest film, South of the Border, and by God, you're going to listen. He's not planning to leave this lectern until this time next week

Spare a thought, finally, for the Mongolian-born former sumo grand champion (or "yokozuna", it says here) Asashoryu, who feels the heat as he agrees to don a robot costume and promote Predators at an event in Tokyo. Endearingly, the press release also points out that Asashoryu is on the right. Just so there can be no confusion
