Final Cannes Update: My Red Carpet Moment Part II

SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE emailed about the film premier I went to in Cannes during the festival. It seems no one cares about my experience -- they only want to know 'what celebrities were there?' Well, the truth is I saw a mix of well-known and lesser-known hollywood types. I had my camera a took a few pictures, but it soon became clear that I was the only one doing that so I stopped. Here's a very quick recap, just for fun.

Event: Premier of The Day After Peace (view the trailer) directed by Jeremy Gilley and featuring Jude Law, Angelina Joile, Annie Lennox, Kofi Annan
Location: Atlantic Beach -- just in front of the Karlton Hotel (although the event was sponsored by Hotel 3.14
People and Comments:
  • Jude Law (The bad news: he really is hot. The good news: he's quite short)
  • Dennis Hopper (even shorter, but looking great at 72!)
  • Selma Hayek (is it possible she looks bad on camera compared to in real life?)
  • Sharon Stone (just before here China 'karma' debacle)
  • Billy Zane (he's still and actor? I really liked him in 'Dead Calm')
  • Christian Slater (how'd he get in?)
  • Naomi Cambell (tallest 'celeb' there; did not throw cell phone at me)
  • quite a few people who I didn't know who were getting a lot of press attention -- mostly french actors/actresses and some Bollywood stars (don't ask me why there were there).
Line of people trying to get in. I'm in!
In case you need to sit down at the party. Give me a break!
Dennis Hopper. Didn't really get a good front shot of him did I?

The Hotel Martinez. Two-week home for the A-list crowd.
