Of course that didn’t stop the movie from tanking at the box office.

from www.variety.com – You know Hollywood has developed a laissez-faire attitude toward porn when XXX stars draw more attention than feature film celebs.

“One of the girls who arrived here was a porn star, and she had all the paparazzi after her,” said “Middle Men” thesp Jacinda Barrett, who was on hand for the pic’s Thursday preem at the Arclight Hollywood, alongside Luke Wilson and Giovanni Ribisi.

Adult film stars Ron Jeremy and Mary Carey also showed up to tubthump Paramount Vantage’s “Men.”

Flanked by beautiful women at the Spanish Kitchen after-party, “Men” producer Christopher Mallick said he’s uncertain if auds will view his story of the XXX biz as a sympathetic one, but added, “I think the taboo of porn is so old; people are over that.”

Still, Mallick was discreet about whether he indulges in the stuff. “Sometimes you’ve just got to take a little time for yourself,” he said.
