Though he usually takes a back seat to wife Jennifer Lopez at her many show biz galas, salsa singer Marc Anthony apparently couldn't resist being at the sultry entertainer's side at her latest film premiere.

For the first time, the newlyweds strolled up the red carpet together as they attended the screening of J Lo's new movie, Shall We Dance. Jennifer, who wore a Greek-style gown with a beaded bodice, was also joined by her co-stars, Susan Sarandon and Richard Gere, at the bash.

While Chicago star Richard shows off his fancy footwork in the film, it was his left hand, encased in a plaster cast, which drew attention at the premiere.

The handsome movie star ended up with some broken bones after taking a fall from his bucking horse last week. But Richard, who briefly lost consciousness during the accident, says he has no hard feelings toward the animal.

"The horse did this kinda great thing (after the fall)," he explained. "He just stopped and stood there by me – so I'm going to give this horse a second chance."
