'Best friend' Hugh at Bullock premiere

Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock invited old friend Hugh Grant along to the premiere of her latest film tonight.

Bullock was in London for the screening of Miss Congeniality 2.
And she made sure Grant, her co-star in the 2002 film Two Weeks' Notice, was on the guest list.

"He's a great friend and a great support, he's fantastic," she said.
"And he takes a blinkingly good picture. He's disgustingly photogenic."

Grant arrived at the Vue cinema in Leicester Square without current girlfriend Jemima Khan.

Bullock, 40, made a memorable entrance at the UK premiere of the first Miss Congeniality film five years ago when she famously tripped on the red carpet.

Explaining the decision to hold the sequel's world premiere in London, she said: "The last time I was here I fell into the premiere and I figured I had to redeem myself.

"I thought if I walked in normally this time it would make up for it."

The Speed star wore jeans and a black Chanel coat embroidered with pearls.

In the first film she played an accident-prone FBI agent who went undercover at a beauty pageant.

For the sequel she goes undercover again, this time in Las Vegas.

The film, which goes on nationwide release on March 25, co-stars Star Trek actor William Shatner.

Celebrities at the premiere included Eurovision hopeful Javine and model Nell McAndrew.
