Stars Mingle With Minions at 'Despicable Me' UK Premiere

Miranda Cosgrove, Steve Carell and Russell Brand all walked the yellow carpet for the UK premiere of their film Despicable Me at The Empire Cinema at Leicester Square in London on Monday. While the three actors are huge celebs, the stars all got outshone by the dozens of mini minions marching around and mingling with any fortunate enough to cross their precious paths.

Russell almost didn't make it to the premiere — but this wasn't the result of some devious plan by a super villain. The Brit bad boy has simply been a little under the weather recently. So much so, that he missed the unveiling of his wax figure at Madame Toussauds.
