3am: Getting Lucky At the Chicago p remiere.

Byline: Jessica Callan, Niki Waldegrave, Suzanne Kerins

YOU can always rely on celebrities to let their hair down at a premiere party and Sunday night's Chicago event was no exception.

The clumsy drunk award goes to Corrie's Denise Welch, 44, who not only arrived at the Cafe Royal, London, after the film's stars Richard Gere, 53, and Renee Zellweger had already left, but had a little trouble getting out of her taxi.

Close behind her was Michelle Collins who nearly didn't make it at all: "I couldn't find a babysitter!" the 39-year-old actress squealed.

A very merry Footballers' Wives star Zoe Lucker, 28, shunned the usual showbiz limo and hopped on a bus to get home. But 3am were relieved to see she was accompanied by the show's executive producer - who we earlier spotted trying to join her in the ladies' loo.

Very naughty.

Simply Red star Mick Hucknall, 42, watched his ex-girlfriend Catherine Zeta-Jones on the big screen and consoled himself by stuffing popcorn into his mouth throughout the movie.

But first prize for bad behaviour has to go to Tamara Beckwith, 32, and her old friend Damian Lewis.

The leggy blonde spent a large slice of the evening all over the 31-year-old Forsyte Saga actor.

And we even witnessed her pressing herself against him while whispering: "I want to taste you, I want you again." What could she mean?
