"Grindhouse" Hollywood Premier Brings Out the Layy-dayyys

After directing his "Grindhouse" actresses in sadistic scenes of death and dismemberment, Quentin Tarantino was repaid in full at the film's premiere — with a cake presented by femme fatales Rose McGowan, Rosario Dawson and Marley Shelton for his 44th birthday.

Shortly after midnight Tuesday morning, the sexy sirens led a bawdy chorus of "Happy Birthday to You" as Tarantino welcomed a bear hug from Grindhouse co-director Robert Rodriguez.

But the celebration was not without mishap. Just before the star arrivals, a water main break flooded the red carpet, causing the stars to run under cover in hopes of salvaging their ultra expensive gowns.

Opening April 6, "Grindhouse" is actually a double bill of Rodriguez's sicko zombie flick, "Planet Terror", and Tarantino's road rage revenge tale, "Death Proof." -- Sure to be a cult hit. You know it.
