  • Story Text: Pop and movie stars hung out and did a little jamming together at the opening of Montreal's Plant Hollywood on Wednesday night (July 29).

    The occasion was the opening of another Planet Hollywood restaurant in Montreal, Canada.

    Stars of screen and catwalk jetted into town for the opening, to the delight of the crowd of thousands waiting outside for a glimpse of the beautiful people.

    Bruce Willis drove fans wild by tearing off his t-shirt as he walked into the restaurant.Then he got up on stage to strut his stuff in a blues duet with Britain's 'Sporty' Spice aka Mel C.As the first raunchy chords rang out, Willis (now separated from his wife Demi Moore) urged Mel C "Come on, baby!" at which the svelte Spice Girl began to dance and belt out the blues.

    Model Cindy Crawford was also on hand to give the opening a touch of catwalk glamour.Actor Sylvester Stallone, who owns the Planet Hollywood franchise along with Willis and Arnold Schwarzeneggar, did his bit in the limelight before the gig, thrilling the Montreal crowd with his support for Canadian Formula One driver Jacques Villeneuve.
