Despite catching the swine flu, Rupert Grint is alive and well, and ready to celebrate.

The actor, who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies, recently came down with the possibly fatal virus.

"I thought, 'Am I going to die?' " he told reporters at a London press conference. "But it was just like any other flu, really. I had a sore throat and I went to bed for a few days."

The fire at Universal Studios wasn't the only thing burning at MTV's Movie Awards when presenters James Franco and Seth Rogen, stars of the upcoming stoner flick Pineapple Express, took the stage with a big bag of what looked like marijuana and proceeded to light a faux joint.

If you were watching at home, you probably couldn't see it—cameras pulled wide at the last minute. But the two passed the "joint" back and forth while they told the audience, "Don't really smoke fake weed."

Sex in Another City

Sex and the City: The Movie premiered today...but not in New York. Instead, New Line chose to hold the first premiere across the pond in London. (Where Sarah Jessica Parker attempted to blend with the shrubbery in an Alexander McQueen dress, Fred Leighton diamonds and Phillip Treacy hat.)

You'd think they'd unveil the film in the city where it all takes place, the one that's often referred to as the "fifth character," but no...the Big Apple viewing actually doesn't happen until May 27.

And if you're a New Yorker feeling annoyed that the Brits are seeing the movie more than two weeks before you, take heart: They're not premiering the flick in Los Angeles at all.

There is, however, a Skyy-sponsored screening here in L.A. the day before it opens in theaters, along with a postpremiere Q&A with Kristin Davis. You better believe I RSVP'd for that one months ago, so check back for all the details!
