SEAN PENN’S REAL KIDS PLAY HIS KIDS IN “FLAG DAY”

Sean Penn has been helping people with his CORE charity since 2010 so it makes sense that he’d get around to giving his kids a career boost. He directed and stars in Flag Day, which just screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Dylan Penn, 30, and Hopper Penn, 27, both look excited to be there with their father. (Dylan inherited good looks from her mother Robin Wright) The film is based on a true story about a father leading a double life as a con man/crook so he can take excellent care of his daughter. Hopper plays his estranged son. Both Dylan and Hopper have been working on assorted projects of their own, but this film should open more doors in Hollywood for them.

Cannes Film Festival Elena Lenina Photo

TAKE MY PICTURE, PLEASE!

There’s ONE publicity hungry oddball on every important red carpet! Russian TV personality Elena Lenina makes it a habit to show up at the Cannes Film Festival every year in a crazier look than she had last year! Sometimes she has outrageously big hair and sometimes it’s her whole outfit. The Oscars used to have a B actress that turned up on the red carpet every year in a hideously sexy outfit. Usually she was turned away at the door (after being photographed nonstop) but with all their security, one wonders how she got THAT far. We’re not sure how Elena gets invited to Cannes events each year – she must have friends in high places.

Bella Hadid Cannes Film Festival Fashion

EVEN BELLA HADID WAS WARNED: NO SELFIES ON THE RED CARPET AT CANNES!

The models always seem to out-do the actresses on the red carpet at the opening ceremony for the Cannes Film festival. Bella Hadid’s dress had a long train and following her up the stairs was a man scooting around, arranging the long train on the floor behind her for maximum effect. Probably hired by the designer of the gown. Whether Bella actually has anything to do with the festival is unknown, but she livened up the event for the paparazzi, and her designer will no doubt get a lot of publicity. The antiquated dress code on the red carpet has loosened slightly, but this year everyone invited was sternly warned NOT to take red carpet selfies – or they could be banned from screenings.

Cannes Film Festival Chloe Green Hot Felon Jeremy Meeks

IS THE PARTY OVER FOR HOT FELON JEREMY MEEKS?

Jeremy Meeks, 35, turned up at the Cannes Film Festival dressed to kill – but significantly WITHOUT his fiancée, heiress Chloe Green. Chloe and Jeremy got together in 2017 and had a son Jayden a year ago. The family was often seen together lounging on Chloe’s father’s 109 foot yacht in various desirable locales. Jeremy, a Crip turned runway model, regularly appears in designer Philipp Plein’s shows and is scheduled for one during the Cannes Film Festival. He’s pictured here with another Plein model, but no Chloe. In fact, Jeremy and Chloe haven’t been seen in public for a number of weeks… could this Cinderfella romance be over?

Asia Argento Cannes Film Festival Harvey Weinstein Luc Besson

ASIA ARGENTO TO CANNES PREDATORS: YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE

Asia Argento’s stunning prediction at the Cannes Film Festival has already proved to be RIGHT. Actress/director Argento delivered a fierce and detailed speech about her abusive experience with Harvey Weinstein when she took the stage to present an award on the last night of the festival. She ominously concluded her talk with a warning that “even tonight there are predators sitting among you that need to be held responsible for their conduct – YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.” Today one of France’s biggest directors, Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) was accused of drugging and raping an actress in a Paris hotel this week.

Cannes Film Festival Kristen Stewart Shoes! Women's Rights

FINALLY – A REASON TO LIKE KRISTEN STEWART!

It’s not about the hair- it’s about her FEET! Kristen Stewart, who always seems so disinterested in everything, surprised us by stepping up to the plate for women’s rights in Cannes! Back in 2015 women were appalled when they were BANNED from the red carpet for WEARING FLAT SHOES! The incident made the whole festival look archaic and insulting to women. This year Kristen tested the waters and went barefoot and carried her shoes on one carpet and last night she defiantly WORE FLAT SHOES. She said “If men don’t have to wear heels, why should WE? She wants equal rights. Nobody asked her to leave.

Cannes Film Festival Fashion La Toya Jackson

LA TOYA JACKSON: BLACK LEATHER IS NOT ALWAYS YOUR FRIEND

La Toya Jackson surprised Cannes filmgoers by showing up for the premier of a South Korean dramatic movie in competition called Burning. She happily posed with people involved with the movie (she’s not) in a black leather gown (!) with a long train that needed constant adjustment. A woman followed her on the red carpet on her knees, spreading it out. We can’t help but notice that perhaps the skirt slit was too high for the petite La Toya because apparently the top five inches were hastily sewn together in an amateur manner. But she still manages to look quite pretty.

Amber Heard Bad Fashion Cannes Film Festival

AMBER HEARD : THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE ARE NOT ALWAYS FREE

Amber Heard, 32, still managed to look beautiful in spite of the monumentally unflattering gown she wore on the red carpet in Cannes. Presumably when she sees her photos she’ll realize that sometimes it’s better to buy your own dress than wear something just because it was a freebie. Amber has split from Elon Musk again, but she was already seen in the back seat of a limo with Heidi Klum’s ex-boyfriend Vito Schnabel, so life goes on…

Cannes Film Festival Roman Polanski Underwear

ROMAN POLANSKI IN HIS UNDERPANTS

Roman Polanski may be 83, but that doesn’t stop him from sunbathing at the Eden Roc Hotel in Cannes in his underwear. The Film Festival is as close as Polanski can get to Hollywood – he’s been unable to return to the US since he was arrested for sexually assaulting a 13 year old girl in 1977. (And he’s NOT happy about it.) At that time he fled to France to avoid prison time but he had no idea he’s never be able to return because he figured, as a successful filmmaker, he was above the law. He still avoids countries likely to extradite him to the US. No great loss for us – his best work was Rosemary’s Baby in 1968.

Adam Sandler Cannes Film Festival Fashion

ADAM SANDLER IS SUDDENLY DRESSING AGE APPROPRIATE!

At last! Adam Sandler is dressed like a MAN! Long pants! No baseball cap! Maybe it’s because he’s in a movie at the Cannes Film Festival or maybe he’s actually growing up – whatever the reason, it’s a welcome change (in spite of the mustache.) Adam and Ben Stiller are playing Dustin Hoffman’s sons in The Meyerowitz Stories – a comedy drama about an estranged family that gets back together. Fortunately, Adam had nothing to do with the writing and the movie is already getting positive buzz at the festival.
