Red hot temper! Amanda Seyfried throws parking ticket back at traffic warden

It’s never the best end to an evening when you find a parking ticket on your car, and Amanda Seyfried didn’t seem too impressed when it happened to her last night.After an evening of posing on the red carpet in London's Leicester Square for her premiere of Red Riding Hood, the star found the ticket waiting on her car.Her red hot temper soon kicked in and she threw the ticket back at the traffic warden, telling him: ‘Thank you but no thank you.’

Amanda d been celebrating the European premiere of her new film, in which she plays the sultry Valerie - a beautiful young woman torn between two men.And she played up to the red theme by pouting for photographers with scarlet lips alongside her little black dress.She was joined by her co-stars Max Irons and Shiloh Fernandex at the premiere of the film, which is loosely based on the children’s fairytale of the same name and directed by Twilight’s Catherine HardwickeAt London’s Empire cinema last night, she said: ‘I was pretty sensitive as a child and I stayed away from all those fairy tales ‘cause they were all set in the dark forest somewhere far away.’The director’s take on the love triangle between Seyfried and her co-stars, plus the werewolf plotline has prompted comparisons to the hit Twilight.But Amanda said: ‘There are always going to be comparisons. If you put ‘From the director of Twilight’ on the poster, you’re screwed.

But at the same time Twilight was really successful it its own right and our movie is different. So  as long as people see it, they’ll know what it’s about.’

Catherine Hardwicke said: ‘I think there are comparisons but immediately in the first scene you have this girl who is madly in love with this boy.

‘They’re about to run away, they’re full of passion, but right away the sister is murdered.

‘So it very quickly turns into a murder mystery, which is like a whole different ball game from Twilight.’

Gary Oldman stars as the werewolf hunter called to track down the killer, while Julie Christie is Valerie’s grandmother.
