Angels fly in for pink premiere

Three of Hollywood’s hottest leading ladies were in town today for the UK premiere of the latest Charlie’s Angels movie.

Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu will be driving the fans wild at the gala screening in London.

The premiere of summer blockbuster Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle promises to be the most glamorous of the year so far.

Instead of the traditional red carpet, the trio will walk down a pink one.

And despite predicted grey skies, Leicester Square will be decked out with tropical palm trees.

Guests will be showered with bubbles as they arrive outside the Odeon cinema, while Radio 1’s Dreem Teem will play a live set from the balcony.

The eagerly-awaited sequel went straight to the top of the US box office last week, taking $38m (€33m) in its opening weekend.

But the figure fell short of industry expectations and failed to match the first film, which took $40m (€34.7m) in its first weekend.

Diaz, 30, Barrymore, 28, and Liu, 34, are reunited as the high-kicking secret agents and are joined on screen by Demi Moore, who plays a “fallen” Angel.

They set off hot on the trail of two missing silver bands which reveal the identities of every person on the US witness protection programme.

But Diaz – currently dating Justin Timberlake – reckons the plot doesn’t really matter.

She joked: “Who cares about the story? Don’t people just want to see us in bikinis, jumping off high buildings?”
