If Lady Di saw it, she would prefer to have died !

Hanging a few hours, almost all the planet became royalist, going into raptures in front of its small screen in front of the splendors of this wedding, the beauty of the bride and her sister Pippa, bowing in front of this smart, British ceremony, without lapse. Bodyguards' hundreds, tens of parades... It was an event so ridiculous as exaggerated. Let us hope that they shall not divorce in some time as Lady Di and

64e Festival de Cannes

Here we are again in May 2011 for a new edition of the Cannes Film Festival. The story continues, the story begins, the story is invented and re-invented every year and at the same time, the festival team and the city of Cannes prepare to greet artists and professionals from around the world. With, shall we say, love, appetite and impatience.

For it seems that floating on the Croisette is a scent of lightness, desire and peace. If each edition has a particular mood, 2011 is already, even before the first screen lights up, very exciting. Why, how and when does public opinion decides that "Cannes will be great this year"? It's a mystery ... and rightly so. Consider what is required: the enthusiasm of the press at the announcement of the selection on April 14th, the arrival of the greatest filmmakers, actors and other film artists, the massive return of professionals, film-buffs, and a vibrant Film Market. As to the weather, unless our favorite Icelandic volcano acts alone over the skies of Europe, we have done everything to make it perfect.

This year, Cannes has installed a little innovation here and there: As a guest, Egyptian film culture, home of great cinema, has signaled to the world their desire for democracy and freedom and like Tunisia, which will is also present, shows how cinema moves to the rhythm of world events; a feast of selections for film crews to meet each other rather than in competition or rivalry, or the stress of an audience’s reaction; Jean-Paul Belmondo, back in Cannes to receive an ovation from the world of cinema; a Palme d'Or of Honor awarded at the opening ceremony to Bernardo Bertolucci from the Jury President Robert De Niro, as his actor in 1900, will look on with fondness.
Between Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris at the opening of the festival and The Beloved by Christophe Honore closing, Cannes will deploy its charm, its mysteries and traditions: fifty films in the Official Selection, dozens of guests every day, hundreds of screenings, thousands of film-buffs.

New movie of Woody Allen at Festival de Cannes : Midnight in Paris

Calling Allen’s newest film Midnight in Paris, starring Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams and Marion Cotillard, “a wonderful love letter to Paris,” festival director Thierry Fremaux has once again extended that invitation to the writer/director.

Bin Laden Is Dead, Obama Says

Oussama Ben Laden the mastermind of the most devastating attack on American soil in modern times and the most hunted man in the world, was killed in a firefight with United States forces in Pakistan, President Obama announced on Sunday.
In a late-night appearance in the East Room of the White House, Mr. Obama declared that “justice has been done” as he disclosed that American military and C.I.A operatives had finally cornered Bin Laden, the leader of Al Quaeda, who had eluded them for nearly a decade. American officials said Bin Laden resisted and was shot in the head. He was later buried at sea.


“For over two decades, Bin Laden has been Al Qaeda’s leader and symbol,” the president said in a statement broadcast around the world. “The death of Bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat Al Qaeda. But his death does not mark the end of our effort. There’s no doubt that Al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad.”

M6: "DOMESTIC SCENES" PACKSADDLE STILL ITS RECORD IN FRONT OF LOW JT(TV NEWS)

To where she will go? The series Scene of households , M6, again beat its historic record on Tuesday evening. The program gathered 3,7 million televiewers according to Médiamétrie, is 14 % of the public. On the commercial target of housewives under fifty, market share 22 %. M6 was the second chain(channel) the most looked by this beloved population of the announcers.

How to explain such performances? Besides the growing popularity of the series, which benefits at the moment from a promotion drive in the cinema, we shall note that for several weeks, the fiction of Six takes advantage of the indifference (relative certainly, but the phenomenon is there) French people for their "big" JT(TV NEWS). The international current event and the debates which has to face the government does not seem to interest the televiewers a lot....

So, even on Tuesday evening, the 20 hours of TF1 and France 2 were indeed below their average: Laurence Ferrari's newspaper gathered.
