Kirsten Dunst was presented with the Prix de l’Interpretation Feminine in Cannes yesterday for her role in the Lars von Trier film “Mein Kampf” “Melancholia.” The Daily Mail says:
Kirsten Dunst conquered the Cannes Film Festival by taking the best actress award from a jury led by Robert De Niro and for a movie made by banned film-maker Lars von Trier.
The 29-year-old star thought her chances of winning at Cannes were dimmed after Von Trier was [banned] by the festival’s board after telling a press conference he understood Hitler and that he ‘was a Nazi’.
She gives a terrific, deeply felt performance in Melancholia as a newly-wed bride who instantly regrets her marriage while at the same time the planet Earth is on collision course with another planet.
Imagine my surprise when I learned that “Prix de l’Interpretation Feminine” wasn’t French for “Teeth Like Nasty Bits of Broken Tile.” And for the record, the banning of Lars von Trier marks the only time in history the French have ever successfully forced a Nazi out of France.

Angelina Jolie is here at the Cannes Film Festival promoting Kung Fu Panda 2, and although she is ridiculously beautiful, she is starting to really get that malnourished look to her. You know, where your hands and feet start looking too big for your arms and legs, which take on a twig-like appearance themselves. Combine that with the linear tattoos on her shoulder, and she’s like a poster child for putting a happy spin on an Auschwitz prisoner. Like, Hitler’s PR men told him, “You know, maybe people wouldn’t be so adverse to going to our camps if we took a really beautiful prisoner, dressed her up, and handed her over to a really good makeup artist, and then took pictures of her waving and looking happy, and put her on a poster that said, “Hitler’s Concentration Camps–Where Beautiful People Are Happy”–or something like that”. But we all know there’s nothing funny about concentration camps, so now that I was trying to make a joke about it, you can all hate me now.

This is the most boring day in the history of the universe, so how about a couple of fatass strippers on the red carpet in Cannes to warm your cockles? Oh, you will take it and you will like it. I’m serious. Don’t make me turn this car around. Page Six says
American burlesque queens upstaged the more demurely dressed stars at the Cannes Film Festival this week. Mimi Le Meaux, Dirty Martini, Roky Roulette and Kitten on the Keys star in “The Tour” and took to the red carpet on the French Riviera.
Their film was the first of 19 to debut in competition for the Palme D’Or, the festival’s top prize.
All I can say is Mimi Le Meaux is the best name I’ve ever heard in my life. I’m totally gonna buy a cat just so I can name her that. Muffy St. Clair and CoCo DuBois can suck it.
