Chile's Last Stand

We endured a room full of cringes during the press conference of "X-Men: The Last Stand" - Cannes 2006. Halle Berry gave a Chilean journalist his last stand.....a full five minutes of her time, the whole room fell silent as he rambled on about his lengthy journey and a sore bum, Berry's response was "too much information," then seizing the closing window of opportunity he finally asked Berry a question........"So do you like acting?" More Cannes gossip.....As the Chilean journalist was licking his wounds, Steve Coogan hooked up with Lady Victoria Hervey at the expense of Paul Allen the Microsoft billionaire, they were amongst an elite crew partying on Allen's yacht until the early hours of the morning.

British Bum

Just stumbled across Rock Rebel Clothing "the heart & soul of clothing" - So why are we sharing this little find with you? Well their list of brands seem endless, from 575 Denim to Von Dutch, the prices look pretty good and best of all the "FREE International Shipping" really caught our eye, definitely makes a difference if you are the UK side of the pond, the bottom line is half price jeans! PS. Rock Rebel are looking for models, if you're in the LA/Orange County areas and interested look them up.

Glam - What's Your City Style?

We took the Glam test ......and our result was - Los Angeles "For you heaven is combing the battery of L.A. boutiques in search of finds that complement your fashion repertoire, which can switch from flip-flop chic to Hollywood starlet with the bat of a lash. You're just one of those girls who can grab a cute T, combine it with jeans and a funky belt, and look like a superstar. And you're so cool no one even hates you for it." Well I have to agree with the 'cool' bit and yes 'a superstar', flip-flops...yes, starlet and cute absolutely not!

S&TC Exclusive Celebrity Closet picture

Yes... In answer to the many requests we have managed to track down this exclusive picture, it's the closet of Carrie aka Sarah Jessica Parker from Sex and The City, a little untidy buy hey what a size! Harajuku....And what a week we're having, we've had hundreds of emails asking about Gwen Stefani's clothing line, well you can find it here - Harajuku Lovers.

LOVEFiLM's Missing Reporter

We are getting a bit concerned that the undercover reporter from LOVEFiLM has gone...well.....completely undercover, maybe she drank too much champagne! She only managed to cover the first 2 Days of the festival, here's her last report - "We all love a bit of gossip (even if we don't let on that we do), and with the biggest Film Festival of the year taking place at Cannes right now, we have managed to persuade an industry insider to give us all the behind the scenes skinny. We've had to keep our top industry exec anonymous in fear of reprisals... believe us you heard it hear first...Welcome to my world, over the next week I'll keep you posted with my news and views of this year's Cannes film festival - an insiders view of pitches, producers and product on the Croisette. The key things you need to survive Cannes are: comfortable shoes - Jimmy Choo's are really only for the red carpet, be able to rush back to your apartment shower change and look fabulous in 5 mins and most importantly be able to survive for 10 days on rose wine and canapés with no time for a decent meal. Oh and a straight face so when a producer pitches the worst project you have ever heard and ask for £200k that you don't burst out laughing! Now on paper it should be a good one - us Brits have two films in Competition - old school and new school - Loach and Arnold. After a year of producers moaning about tax let's hope there is more a positive vibe. Last night opened with The Da Vinci Code - after this you can see what a lottery PR can be - my media mate e-mailed to say " 2HRS 40 MINS of rubbish. Dark, boring, no tension and they even manage to make Audrey Tautou look like she has just walked out of East Enders. Also they shoot in the Louvre and you don't see any of the Paintings!" Oh dear..... Am I the only person in the world that hasn't read the book? Also don't you think Tom Hank's hair looks kind of funny? Tonight is swanky party night - Miramax cocktail party followed by Focus just in time for Ken Loach and Cillian Murphy to walk up the Palais steps at 7.30. More news and views tomorrow...... " Ok, it's well past 'tomorrow' and we've not heard any more from you! The only name we could find on the LOVEFiLM site relating to Cannes reporting was Jason Anderson, we're pretty sure that this isn't you Jason, but if it is you've done a great job on the disguise!

Sir Elton John Outburst

Sir Elton lost it again last night whilst presenting an award to a young actor in Cannes. He presented The Chopard Trophy to 21 year-old Kevin Zegers a young Canadian actor who co-starred in the film "Transamerica" with Felicity Huffman. Sir Elton accompanied by Elizabeth Hurley lost it when photographers called out during his presentation and rapidly retaliated with "....I'm talking you f***wit, f'ing photographers you should all be shot..."
