Ashlee Simpson Played We were duped, I think. All of us were duped. Last week word broke that John and Jessica had broken up, conveniently the same day as her party here in Cannes to announce production on Major Movie Star - a last minute event that attracted surprisingly large numbers… Now Jessica By Lainey • May 21, 2007 08:00 pm
Brad Pitt At the du Cap Last night, having cocktails at Hotel du Cap on terrace, an Oceans 13 dinner was going on next door at Eden Roc without Brad and Angelina who were at The Might Heart gala. But George Clooney, Don Cheadle, Matt Damon with Luciana, Andy Garcia, the super rich producers I’m By Lainey • May 21, 2007 08:00 pm
Mischa Barton On the Carpet I thought it was crazy enough earlier in the day during the press conference but that was just the press. Out in front of the Palais, where fans had been waiting for hours, they totally lost their sh-t. Again, in photos Angelina is always pursing her lips for her pose By Lainey • May 21, 2007 08:00 pm
Angelina Jolie The Chemistry The press conference panel was long. Like almost 9 people, maybe more. Mariane Pearl, Michael Winterbottom, Angelina Jolie, and Dan Futterman sat in the centre. Brad was way off at the left end if you were facing them directly. Naturally, once the Q&A got going, once people did By Lainey • May 20, 2007 08:00 pm
Why Bother? Britney in Miami after an error-filled Florida weekend. First the lipsync fiasco in Orlando then her bra busted open in Miami last night necessitating a 3 minute break from her 15 minute set which is 20% of her total performance time…clearly when it comes to Britney, perfect is impossible.

Lindsay Lohan Hooch from a bottle source Vodka straight from the source – word is that’s how Lindsay Lohan chugs the sauce, the other day in NYC before catching a plane to LA at 3am. Apparently this is what Dina Lohan calls normal behaviour for someone who just exited rehab. It’s been a while since By Lainey • May 20, 2007 08:00 pm
Brad Pitt A Mighty Heart They were here today for A Mighty Heart – the screening took place at 10:45am following by a photo call and then a press conference at 1pm. About the film - very well received, with some comparing Michael Winterbottom’s direction to Michael Mann’s: tightly shot with a journalist’ By Lainey • May 20, 2007 08:00 pm
David Beckham The Frenzy This morning’s screening was for press only. And so the building was full of journalists, all of them congregating for a glimpse of the Brangelina phenomenon. The queue began early – there were reporters in line to get into the press room almost 3 hours ahead of time. So as By Lainey • May 20, 2007 08:00 pm
Johnny Depp All Time Said it before and I’ll say it again – he is not on the Freebie Five because one night would never do. One night with Johnny Depp…only one night… are you crazy??? No no… Johnny deserves An All Time standing. Johnny Depp is All Time. And check him out By Lainey • May 19, 2007 08:00 pm
Keira Knightley When the pout works The perma-pout is cloying…especially on a carpet. But if it belongs anywhere, it definitely belongs in Vogue. And so here is Keira Knightley, in one of the magazine’s most glorious photo shoots of the year, rockin’ that pout like nobody’s business, and looking appropriately morose and depressed… By Lainey • May 19, 2007 08:00 pm
Kid Rock A Great Title We Own the Night, Joaquin Phoenix’s latest with Mark Wahlberg, in competition here at Cannes although neither is expected – at press time – to attend in support. The screening in on Wednesday and the press conference Thursday – will let you know. Here’s a smutty detail though: Marky supposedly wanted By Lainey • May 19, 2007 08:00 pm
A Clinic in Golddiggery New photos of Paul McCartney and the greedy Heather leaving a restaurant with Bea, clearly getting on much better than they have in ages. The new civilised relations stem from what’s being reported as a truce – that they’ve come to terms on their acrimonious divorce so as to By Lainey • May 19, 2007 08:00 pm
Tom Cruise Demi Footwear Demi at the Chanel Cruise Show the other night. And look at those shoes. Must have those shoes. Also a good example of how unreliable bump watch always is: you will recall she was so totally pregnant a couple of months ago after wearing a billowy dress and an overcoat.

Nicky Hilton Going Senile? Candy Spelling must be losing her sh-t...How else can you explain the open letters sent to Paris Hilton and now Joe Francis? And seriously…who the hell is Joe Francis? Why would Joe Francis merit any of her time? Why would Joe Francis who has made his millions getting By Lainey • May 19, 2007 08:00 pm
Denzel Washington Shonda Under Fire? Sometimes no comment is more telling than a comment. TR Knight in The Advocate in an interview about the past year, about coming out, about the gay-cist fiasco with Isaiah Washington, and the kind of support he did and didn’t receive from those around him…all this on the By Lainey • May 18, 2007 08:00 pm
Elizabeth Hurley Postcards from Cannes Just a taste of what it’s like: Dylan and I were at the satellite truck the other day feeding our footage back to Toronto. Some fashion photographer comes by with this girl – of course she’s a model - he’s taking high quality magazine shots of her at By Lainey • May 18, 2007 08:00 pm
