From the "Where Have They Been?" Files: It's Helen Hunt!

At Monday's Then She Found Me premier, director Helen Hunt gutsily stepped out onto the red carpet in a cantilevered satin undergarment designed for someone half her age.

"Even though my breasts are asleep, my navel's popped out to say hi, and I am so very, very tired, I am still rocking this dress," said Hunt, 44, flipping her hair back and grabbing Matthew Perry's ass.

"I feel so under-dressed," whimpered Perry.

The Imdb plot summary says, "A New York schoolteacher hits a midlife crisis when, in quick succession, her husband leaves, her adoptive mother dies and her real one, an eccentric talk show host, materializes and turns her life upside down as she begins a courtship with the father of one of her students."

I'm sorry, what? I couldn't follow that because the photographer was yelling, "SHINY PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE! SHINY PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE!" Colin Firth, on the left, looks good with a little scruff, and he's working hard to give off a sensitive Art Garfunkel vibe that the girls love so much. Bookended with the other dark suit, Ben Shenkman, who was so good in Angels in America, so of course Bette Midler snugged herself all up into that. Helen Hunt's dress, uhhmmm . . . still no.

Matthew Broderick, who had a previous engagement, sent a wax replica of himself to the event.

HA! I think I peed myself reading "shiny people in the middle!" and the wax figure of Matthew Broderick.

Dear. Lord. Do these people not own MIRRORS?

[Sils]

I'm sorry, but if my body looked like that and I was 44 I would be tempted to wear undergarments in public as well.

I read an interview with Hunt in Redbook on the plane this weekend and I have to say, the film sounds interesting.

Of course, I'm biased because I adore her and think she's kind of brilliant.

I think it bears repeating that Colin Firth looks good. I will forgive the shiny underwear dress if it means I get to see more pictures of Colin Firth, with whom I am in love.

[Marmite Breath]

Mmmmmm, Collllllliiiiiiiinnn.

am. in. love.

I'm gonna say it- she needs her eyes done.
NOT because I'm all about the plastic surgery but seriously I feel like they are about to impede her vision. It happened to my mom. Some people, they just have the droopy lids.

[Suzy Q]

I agree, BaltimoreGal. I saw her in high def on one of the morning shows, and oh, lawdy! The droopy eyelids! Get thee to the plastic surgeon, H. Or just send the money to me so I can get it done.

I think she has a fairly rockin' body for being 44, and I'm not at all sure that's her naval popping out. Maybe it's a toomah! In any event, that dress sucks.

She had droopy eyelids since birth. Seriously, even before that show she did with Paul Reiser. Watch "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." She had droopy eyelids, even then. Hell, I'm sure if you can dig up an ultrasound pic, Helen Hunt - the fetus - had droopy eyelids.

Is it just me or does the shiny underwear dress make her look like homage to Oscar statuette?

And DianaCLT: LOVE that you pulled out that movie! I wish it was on right now. Can't hear "Dancin' in heaven..." without thinking of that dance contest! That's MY SJP; forget about Sex in the City.
