Day 5

Another manic day in Cannes!


Joe's been flat out pretty much since he got there, today has probably been a prime example of the work the film festival involves... for Joe anyway!


The mountains of editing, premieres, and the expectations of fast turnarounds for supplying the press can be stressful, but Joe is good with pressure and this enables him to have extremely busy days. 


Today, it's all been centred around the stars again and Joe was back at the Martinez Hotel to attend a photo call with Keith Lemon and Kelly Brook for the new film 'Keith Lemon the Movie'. As the photos illustrate, it wasn't the typical photo call but it was certainly a lot of fun! 


Following this was the'Lawless' premiere which was disappointing in comparison to others during the festival. Although this didn't take Joe by much surprise as he suspected this was going to be the case. Jessica Chastian was yet again on the red carpet but her appearances are becoming slightly monotonous and he is already getting bored of her! Shia LaBeouf was moody but Joe fought around this and got some good pictures out of him. And finally, on the 'celeb news' side of life, Cheryl Cole arrived in Cannes today.


Celebrities are known for being poor time keepers and after P. Diddy's extremely late arrival at the Valentino party last night- he intentionally arrived as it was all finishing- Joe didn't think that this record could be beaten. He thought wrong. Joe had an arrangement for a well known model to be flown in today for a location shoot all over Cannes for several hours. The model was only due to be in Cannes for the day so the video team were all set up in preparation for her arrival... she missed the flight. She apologised and insisted that this terrible mistake had never happened before. Understandably, Joe was aggravated, but the show must go on.


With having no other option but to abandon the photo shoot with the model, Joe had a change of plan and headed to the Cannes Palais- where the press centre and cinemas are. Here, Joe was again placed in the midst of a baffling experience as the security guards insisted on checking his pockets with scanners but ignored his camera bag which had inside 14kg of metal!


And to add to the oddities of today, I've just received a text message from the man himself, explaining Saturday night mayhem in Cannes.... a woman approached him offering a snog for a picture. Joe simply replied "What's in it for me?!". Classic!


There's certainly been a surreal chain of events... makes a good blog post though! 
Keep it up Joe.
