Is there really any better time to market your "hot" new line of suits, your MP3 player, or your America magazine than at the premiere of a movie about pedophilia? We think not, and so we tip our hats to Roc-A-Fella Records' Damon Dash, who used the premiere of Kevin Bacon's new film The Woodsman (which he also, if not inexplicably, co-produced) to do exactly that. Dash hosted the after-party at his club NA, where he danced on the stage by himself and had his personal cinematographer record the spectacle (what, like you don't do that every weekend?). Meanwhile, Kevin Bacon (wearing one of Dash's new suits) was more interested in musing on the weighty issues that come with portraying a child molester, but that's a downer, right? Good thing Dash gave him some free tennis shoes to cheer him up.
