She arrived in Nice today and is at the festival to attend a screening celebrating Indian film. She’s expected at the Palais on Monday. Full Story

Charlene of Serenity was not with Prince Albert at Queen Beatrix’s abdication and her son King Willem-Alexander’s subsequent coronation at the end of April. She had previous charity commitments back home in South Africa where she also attended an old friend’s wedding. But overseas gossips have been reporting that while she was there, she was also hooking up with her friend Byron Kelleher, a professional rugby player. Full Story

Stop what you’re doing right now. Because Colin Firth was in Cannes. Looking better than he has in a long time. Here he is being beautiful at a couple of Chopard events yesterday. Livia, his wife, is there too. Colin’s kept a relatively low profile for the last couple of years but he’s recently been confirmed to star in Woody Allen’s latest, with Emma Stone, and also in Matthew Vaughn’s The Secret Service, described as a comic book Bond.

Dee! Happy Birthday tomorrow from GossipCon! And good luck with the move to Ottawa! This is indeed a great look, especially with the cap-toe pumps! Happy Birthday Erin from Stephanie and Gayle! I’m with you and Gayle -- RDJ forever! To Lindsay from Kirsten -- Congratulations on your engagement! She’s sorry she wasn’t around when it happened and couldn’t be your first call so. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Didn’t think Diddy/Daddy/Puffy’s Downton Abbey parody was good. Then again, Downton Abbey isn’t good. So in that sense, the marriage of Diddy to Downton was perfect. Totally makes sense.
As for Scandal, a proper soap opera without an identity crisis that doesn’t act like it has to be force-fed non-white characters, the season 2 finale is tonight...and Kerry Washington says the cliffhanger is “crazy”:
"The season finale -- the very last line of the episode, I almost couldn't get it out of my mouth."
Here’s another reason I love Scandal: the show is having so much fun all by itself. Read Full Intro

The CW upfronts happened in New York today. And the stars of one of the network’s most important shows, The Vampire Diaries, turned up together, but not. It was confirmed last week that Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder have ended their relationship. Needless to say, there were no group shots. Full Story

Emma Watson’s wardrobe choices in Cannes today for the photo call and presser were really boring. I posted those pictures to the LifeStyle page. Was hoping she was saving something for the gala. Nope. The back is interesting-ish, I guess. Full Story

Daniel Day-Lewis was photographed in Brescia, Italy today for Mille Miglia, the iconic vintage cars road race through Italy -- 1000 miles in 3 days ending in Rome.

Jacek and I drove from Toronto to Vancouver once and it took us 3 days. Full Story
