'Machete' Cast Wish La Lohan Well At L.A. Premiere

By Simone Hilliard

The premiere for Robert Rodriguez's "Machete" was held Wednesday (August 25) night at downtown Los Angeles' Orpheum Theatre.  Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Danny Trejo and more were all on hand to help celebrate, arriving in lowriders no less, but noticeable missing from the flick's cast was Lindsay Lohan, who had been released from rehab a day earlier.

MTV News caught up with a few of La Lohan's co-stars, who shared their well wishes, and praised her habit-wearing, gun-toting performance in the 'Grindhouse' style film.

Jessica Alba was quick to note that her co-star was "so good in this movie. I can't wait for people to see [her in] it."

Director Robert Rodriguez shared a similar statement:

"She's awesome in the movie. That's what they'll see: the actress behind all that paparazzi nonsense that follows her and won't leave her alone. They'll get to see her and say, 'Oh, that's why we follow her around.'"

Cheech Marin offered his support:

"I wish her all the best. I mean, she's a talented young actress. Hopefully, she won't let her personal life overwhelm her professional life ... at some point, you gotta be responsible."

That sentiment was mirrored by Danny Trejo, who added:

"Get home, girl! You're gonna be all right. She's gonna be fine. She knows what to do."

Michelle Rodriguez sent Lindsay a less personal, yet touching message:

"I just think everybody should have in mind that when you wish the best for people around you, it only makes your country, your society, your culture better.

So I think that we should all just respect the evolutionary paths of people and as much as we possibly can wish for the better, for light."

We didn't peg Michelle for the philosophical type, but we def dig it!

Machete opens nationwide Labor Day weekend!
