Cannes 2009 On the terrace - Laura's POV Lainey: Many of you have written to ask about Laura's perspective on the terrace at the du Cap the other night. When she tried not to eyef-ck Robert Pattinson too obviously. Others have emailed to say you'd prefer Laura's account because mine lacked enthusiasm. By Lainey • May 22, 2009 03:49 am
Ebola Victims Desperate Ebola in Cannes The Croisette has been contaminated this week by Ebola Paris Hilton and that loser it’s been dragging around as its boyfriend. We’ve managed to avoid infection thus far, have not run into them at any parties. Fingers crossed. Should probably stay away from VIP Room tonight though. It’ By Lainey • May 21, 2009 08:33 am
Maple Leaf Diane Kruger’s Basterd day She looked incredible at the photo call in the morning. Amazing. The hair! Will be copying the hair. Last night on the carpet – meh on the dress. Guess why? It’s Marchesa! And Inglourious Basterds has Harvey Weinstein all over it. Anyway, Diane’s profile has been pretty low key By Lainey • May 21, 2009 04:23 am
Douchebags Annual on the terrace 2 From dinner it’s a long beautiful, palm tree-lined walkway up to the terrace bar for drinks looking out over the gardens. A stunning view. When it’s go go go for several days straight on the crowded Croisette, it’s not a bad idea to get away from the By Lainey • May 21, 2009 03:10 am
Girlcrushes Annual on the terrace It’s the fourth year for us at Cannes. And every year we have at least one night at the du Cap. On a night when it’s best to get away from the Croisette, when we don’t have any evening assignments, we make our pilgrimage. There is no By Lainey • May 21, 2009 01:23 am
Famewhores Pitt Porn for Basterds It’s the third year in a row. And there’s something about Cannes that brings out the best in the Brange. The heat and humidity, the moistness in the air, all of it gets magnified tenfold between them and they take their hot and horny chemistry onto the carpet By Lainey • May 21, 2009 12:41 am
Cannes 2009 Pitt Porn teaser! Tonight they’ll do it full on carpet style. But last night a little more private. Radaronline has just secured these photos of the Brange kissing last night. Cannes obviously gives them an added little juice. Couple of years ago the same thing happened. They got into the back of By Lainey • May 20, 2009 04:58 am
Cheating Loins Sound familiar? Once upon a time, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe presented together at the Oscars. He told her to open the envelope because she made more money. Many raised eyebrows. I took it as a joke. But as her star began to climb, as she became one of the highest paid, By Lainey • May 20, 2009 03:03 am
Quiveration Brad in the morning A fried rice day indeed. The press screening was at 8:30am. Here’s how it works: thousands of journalists are accredited every year for the Cannes Film Festival. We’re able to view films at scheduled press screening times but only on a first come first serve basis colour By Lainey • May 20, 2009 02:52 am
Cannes 2009 Marion & Guillaume: carpet together! Very rare! Squee! Last night at the Chopard event, Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet walked together, and held hands. Love them so much. So f-cking beautiful. This afternoon we were on our way to a meeting, he and 2 associates walked right by us, no security, no fanfare, totally unusual By Lainey • May 19, 2009 09:26 am
Cannes 2009 Antichrist I commented on Twitter yesterday that it feels like Willem Dafoe has to be naked in every one of his movies. Obviously an exaggeration. But he’s naked a lot. He’s also a sexy beast. And, yes, he’s very very naked in his new movie Antichrist which screened By Lainey • May 19, 2009 07:49 am
Cheese Cannes in pictures What's Cannes like? How deep is the Eurocheese? What does it look like? What does it smell like? Sometimes words are inadequate. And if you've never come here, this just about sums it up. Roberto Cavalli. Enjoy the amazingness. Photos from Flynetonline.com and Wenn.com By Lainey • May 19, 2009 03:42 am
Cannes 2009 She’s not beige Elizabeth Banks. See I thought she was a beige person. Not particularly exciting. But Cannes, Cannes brings out the real drama. And often the real bitch. So no, she’s definitely not beige. She just might be the next Sharon Stone. At the Grey Goose event on Saturday night… Have By Lainey • May 18, 2009 05:49 am
Famewhores Christmas in Cannes They say there’s a recession but you wouldn’t know it here in Cannes. They say the studios have scaled back a fair bit. It’s my fourth year, so far it doesn’t seem so different, but then again, I’m not wheeling and dealing in backrooms. Whatever’ By Lainey • May 18, 2009 02:35 am
Quiveration Canadians in Cannes Saturday night, Grey Goose party at the Chateau de la Napoule. A real chateau. Not some fake Adrien Brody upstate New York cheese ass girlfriend sh-t. Legit French chateau, spectacular setting. Grey Goose parties are the best. If you ever get invited to one, put aside everything and go. Be By Lainey • May 17, 2009 10:17 pm
Douchebags Cheese & Carbs on the Croisette Ryan Phillippe’s CarbFace arrived in Nice on Thursday, surprisingly not wearing a beater tank. Am shocked. Ryan is at the festival for The Bang, Bang Club which he’s been shooting in South Africa. He’ll be joined by Canadian co-stars Malin Akerman and – yes! – Taylor Kitsch for advance By Lainey • May 15, 2009 03:27 am
