Joe Alvarez in Cannes: Day 10

Late last night, or rather, the very early hours of this morning, I got a text off Joe saying he was at the best party he'd been to in a long time, and trust me, the guy goes to a lorra' parties. He went to Sea Shepherd's beach party with Michelle Rodriguez, she starred in Hollywood blockbusters such as 'Fast and Furious' but is probably most well known for her role in Avatar. The Sea Shepherd organisation work, on a non-profit basis, to protect marine wildlife and conserve their habitat... don't be deceived by their 'rock and roll' type logo of a skull. ;)

Joe and Michelle have met before at the World Music awards and they got on really well there. But the pair got on like a house on fire last night and as well as Michelle being a "star" (as in the sky.. not celeb... although she is a star in that sense too!), Joe also described her as "the coolest lesbo I know". They made each other laugh and Joe even practised his Spanish with her... it must be love! As well as Michelle's kind hospitality for Joe, there was some gorgeous free champagne for all, the food was lovely, the weather stayed warm well into the night, and Michelle was the DJ.... Sounds like one good party!

Today was the 'The Paper Boy' press day & premiere. The film stars the likes of Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman... in which Efron's character, who is half naked for a considerable amount of time, becomes obsessed with Nicole's "hot, over-sexed barbie" in the words of The Telegraph. It all about sex really.

I'm not a massive fan of Zac Efron but I'm quite liking his suit... it's one more fab outfit to add to the growing collection this festival.

After the premiere, Joe went to the the after party of the same film which wasn't as good as last nights beach do. (...It's deffo love). Joe has noticed that Brad Pitt is enjoying his time without fiancee Angelina Jolie as he's been partying non-stop with the the boys from his latest film 'Killing me Softly'. This has caused gossip in magazines and newspapers but Brad is really not doing himself any favours by charging journalists £2000 for a 20minute one-on-one interview... that works out at £100 a minute. With limited access, it just goes to show that there's little wonder why papers fabricate some of their stories!

As Joe is nearly at the end of his time in Cannes, tomorrow is the annual lunch at the castle with the Mayor of Cannes. It's a yearly ritual exclusively for the press to thank them for coming... free trebles all round. Full report on this ASAP!
