Kevin Roderick writes on LAObserved:
Patt Morrison also decided to write about the movie. Her Op-Ed column runs first — today in the Times. Stein’s weekly Op-Ed offerings run on Fridays, so he’s been told to spike his already finished Captivity column and come up with something more original. Stein may be perturbed, but Johnson can’t be too disappointed. The LAT joined in the advance billing by hyping the "mother of all politically incorrect premiere parties," then sent Paul Cullum to cover the gawkers, Suicide Girls and fake S&M displays.
Anyway: John Waters’ outfit at last night’s Hairspray party was far more terrifying than anything at the Captivity bash, Defamer says.
