Michael Jackson's untimely death sent huge shockwaves all over the world, and last night his celeb fans turned up in their limo-loads to pay tribute to the King of Pop at the global premieres for movie This Is It. The film was screened not only in London's Leicester Square, but also over in LA and at other locations around the world. Walking the red carpet in LA were stars such as Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez, Paula Abdul, Katy Perry (not surgically attached to Russell Brand for once) and Paris Hilton, who was channeling Liz Hurley in an outfit held together with giant safety pins. Over here in London, stars including Diversity, JLS, Peter Andre, Mel B, Keisha Buchanan and George Sampson all braved the 1am start time to get the first glimpse on unseen Jacko footage. JLS' Marvin later wrote on the band's Twitter page, "What an unbelievable experience. Film was amazing!! So good to see Michael's personality shine through – loved it!! So inspired for Sunday!" Peter Andre was also impressed, but wasn't sure what Michael himself would've thought. "Michael is a genius. An utter genius," he wrote on his Twitter. "However, would he of wanted this movie to go out? Not sure. Wish they showed his life and not just rehearsals." Take a look through our gallery and tell us what you think of Paris' safety-pin dress. Was she the worst-dressed of the night?
