Catching up to Lou Diamond Phillips on the red carpet was "Hollywood Homicide" star Harrison Ford, whose first words upon seeing Phillips were, "Men's clothes?" Why would Ford make that comment? You know the answer to that question the second you learn his "Hollywood Homicide" character's name is 'Wanda.'

LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS ('Wanda')

There's a lot of buzz about how nice your legs look in this movie.
A lot of buzz about my legs is actually right because it took me about an hour and a half to shave them.

Did you practice walking around with high heels on?
I did. I sound like a silly actor by saying, “I had to get into my role.” I just didn't want to fall down in front of the camera and the heels that we picked out were like 6” spiked heels. One kick to Jackie Chan and he'd have been skewered so I had to practice (laughing). Plus, I mean, when you're dressed like that you want to look sexy, you want to feel sexy, you want to work it a little bit. At least I know what I'm talking about now when I'm looking at women's clothes.

LENA OLIN ('Ruby')

Lena Olin prepared for her role as a sexy psychic by listening to all the radio talk shows and watching all the TV talk show hosts she could find.

Can you describe your character?
I play a woman who has a radio show as a psychic. She's very successful. She has a relationship with Harrison Ford's character, the detective who doesn't believe in anything. She ends up helping the cops because of her abilities. She can solve the crime ,and Harrison Ford's character is not in to that, but finally he has nowhere else to turn, so he turns to the psychic.

She's all about the stars and the signs.

Do you predict this film will be a hit?
I hope so (laughing).
