The week in film : The Dictator - World Premiere arrivals
Call that an armoured car? The entourage of General Aladeen, Supreme Leader of the Republic of Wadiya arrives at a public ceremony in the centre of London. In other words, actor Sacha Baron Cohen and crew turn up for the premiere of The Dictator at the Royal Festival Hall Photograph: Jon Furniss/WireImage
The week in film : Sacha Baron Cohen
Baron Cohen steps out and fondles his golden gun in front of the crowds. Can't say the presidential guard look too entranced; the ones at the back are practically asleep. Wake up, this man could be assassinated at any minute! Photograph: Tal Cohen/AFP/Getty Images
The week in film : Mohamed Al Fayed (L) and Sacha Baron Cohen (R)
Oh look, a lone protester has broken through the police lines, but Baron Cohen bravely takes him on. As the protester in question is clearly Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed, I don't suppose anyone's life is in real danger Photograph: Fred Duval/Getty Images
The week in film : Ben Stiller filming
Here's proper talent: Ben Stiller looking all director-y on the set of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty in New York. Stiller's actually got a great record as a director: Reality Bites, The Cable Guy, Zoolander, Tropic Thunder; the guy deserves a medal Photograph: Bobby Bank/WireImage
The week in film : First ever worldwide 'ipad film premiere'
A smart bit of promo from the people behind low-budget UK indie The Silver Goat – the 'first ever' iPad film premiere, so they say, in a London bus shelter. Here's the cast; lead Alexa Brown is the one in the middle Photograph: Sam Pearce/www.square-image.co.uk
The week in film : Rihanna at premiere of the film
Here's how to do a premiere properly. Gossip-mag staple Rihanna is snapped by photographers as she makes her way on Thursday into the US premiere of Battleship, her first big Hollywood number. Wonder why she gets so much attention Photograph: Danny Moloshok/REUTERS
The week in film : Bruce Willis
When you're a Hollywood big shot, you need at least three people to help you get through a door. Bruce Willis, on the set of Die Hard 5 (aka A Good Day to Die Hard) in the Hungarian capital Budapest, takes pampering to a whole new level. So that's why he's got that smirk going Photograph: Bea Kallos/AP
The week in film : 'Men in Black 3' Film Premiere, Tokyo, Japan - 08 May 2012
More premiere action: Josh Brolin, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones make an entrance for Men in Black 3 in Tokyo. Smith's suit wins by a nose Photograph: Rex Features/Aflo
The week in film : Kyle Gass and Jack Black
Here's how to really impress. Jack Black and Kyle Gass, in their guise as 'funny' rockers Tenacious D, play for actual normal people on a street. Don't think they were busking as such; they were apparently filming a show for the website VEVO. Never mind, everyone looks happy – apart from that kid, who just looks confused Photograph: Angela Weiss/WireImage
The week in film : Zbigniew Rybczynski at European Culture Ministers Council
How to get a grant, part 47. Polish animator Zbigniew Rybczynski gets all knightly with Neelie Kroes, European Commission vice-president in charge of the Digital Agenda, at an EC meeting in Brussels. Absolutely shameless Photograph: Olivier Hoslet/EPA
The week in film : Actress Helena Bonham Carter
Helena Bonham Carter has a good go at emulating her poster image at the Dark Shadows premiere in London's Leicester Square on Wednesday. Nice try – but, duh, it's the wrong hand Photograph: Jon Furniss/WireImage
