First Glance: Linha De Passe – See It or Skip It?
Linha De Passe premiered at Cannes this year and actress Sandra Corveloni won Best Actress for her performance in the movie. The film is set against the backdrop of Brazil in a state of crisis, and focuses on a family where four fatherless brothers try to find a way out of the city. Apart from the acting, the trailer really struck me for its cinematography and I can't wait to see more of it.
Caption It, Sugar: Angelina and Clint's Finger
Here at PopSugar UK we're intrigued by this picture of Angelina Jolie and Clint Eastwood at the premiere of The Exchange at the Cannes Film Festival — what's going on with the finger?! We thought it would be fun to get some input from you guys — what might Clint and Angelina be doing or saying to each other?

Cannes Closes With Ceremony
The glamour, the parties, and all those premieres and press conferences are over for another year, as the Palme d'Or was given out at the award ceremony to mark the end of the Cannes Film Festival 2008. A French film called The Class got the Palme d'Or this year, and its young stars were full of smiles and excitement at their win, Benicio del Toro and Catherine Deneuve also received awards at the ceremony, and jurors Natalie Portman and Sean Penn and actor Robert De Niro were among those giving them out.
But before the awards there was one more premiere, this time for Synecdoche and a photocall with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Michelle Williams, Catherine Keener and Samantha Morton, as well as a fabulous Dior party hosted by Sharon Stone.
Divine Dresses At D&G Do
This weekend saw more Cannes activity, including a fabulous Dolce & Gabbana party that saw familiar and new celebs to the Film Festival walking the swirly carpet to be photographed. Lindsay Lohan had reporters buzzing after showing up wearing a sparkler on her engagement finger, Rose McGowan had to accessorise with her large plastercast after she broke her leg, and the host duo showed up with Cannes birthday girl Naomi "Don't call me a supermodel" Campbell. Kate Hudson looked stunning in a white mini-dress and was apparently cosying up to her photographer-shy man Lance Armstrong all evening, Natalie Portman and her man Devendra Banhart also showed up, posing separately, but Devendra showed just how happy he was to be there by having a pre-party groove in front of photographers.Bank Holiday Sugar Bits – Terry's Eurovision Anger

Cannes Celebs Unite For amFAR Benefit
A cavalcade of celebrities turned out for the amFAR Benefit for Aids research at Cannes last night, including the night's auction host, Sharon Stone. Madonna screened a clip from her documentary I Am Because We Are (for those that missed the previous night's premiere) wearing an apricot coloured dress – demure in comparison to her friend Sharon's leopard-print number. Eye candy was provided by my favourite man, Joshua Jackson, who arrived with Diane Kruger on his arm.
Michelle Steals The Cannes Spotlight
Michelle Williams walked the red carpet at the Cannes premiere of new Scott Speedman/Rachel Blanchard movie Adoration and stole the spotlight in her gorgeous sparkly cream dress. Having spent lots of time with her beautiful Matilda over the past few months while they've adjusted to life without Heath, Michelle is slowly returning into the public sphere – and reminding me of her awesome personal style. I always love seeing what Michelle's going to pull out on the red carpet.
Madonna Takes On Cannes
It was Madonna's turn to shine at the Cannes Film Festival yesterday as her labour of love I Am Because We Are premiered. She looked gorgeous in a sequinned, (slightly transparent) monochrome fringed dress and walked the red carpet with Guy. She then posed for some shots with her friend Sharon Stone, and they seemed to have a rather animated conversation!
Clint Changes Changeling While Gwyneth Loves Her Gladiators
At Cannes yesterday Clint Eastwood decided to make a last minute change, and swapped Changeling's title to The Exchange. Pregnant queen of Cannes Angelina Jolie stars in the movie and attended yesterday's press call with the esteemed director, as well as walking the red carpet with him and the other man in her life, Brad Pitt. The flawless Dita Von Teese, Sharon Stone, Diddy and Michelle Yeoh were among those attending the movie's premiere last night, all dressed to the nines.
Gwyneth Promotes Whilst Mark Parties With Diddy In Cannes
The premieres, press conferences and parties continued in full force at Cannes yesterday. Gorgeous Jim Sturgess promoted his future movie Heartless with co-star Clemence Poesy at a photocall, and Monica Bellucci and Jackie Chan were also both out separately during the day promoting their latest projects. As always the evening injected a little more glamour into proceedings, with the Two Lovers premiere attended by star Gwyneth Paltrow (on Valentino's arm) and Diddy.
