Cannes has turned into Paris on CRACK

They were not lying when they said the town nearly doubles in size - I have never seen this many tourists wandering around. I really want to just yell BRAD PITT and point and everyone would freak out! I hardly recognize the city anymore, it has turned to Paris on crack.

I really enjoy my badge, it makes me (seem) very official and important so do not be surprised if I am still wearing it when I come home.

The beach areas by the Carlton and the Martinez (Brad is staying there and there are rumors the two of them are broken up?!?!! YES! Perfect timing..) they have kicked off all the topless women and set up these massive white tents for parties. I get to go to one of these parties on Sunday at the Palm Beach which is pretty shwanky. I promise not to say that while I'm there, but it's a BIG party.

BIG day of work yesterday. We had 3 screenings, one for Huacho a Chilean film and another for Rien de Personnel (Nothing Personal en anglais). It is chaotic and I forgot how much I love being behind the scenes. My boss is awesome and everyone is so nice. AND I speak french all day with the occasional English/Australian/American person coming up and asking questions. It's fantastic!

Also, I met some pretty famous french people yesterday! It is kind of funny because everyone in line was freaking out when they walked down our "red carpet" but the girls and I do not know who they are! Still pretty cool though.

No famous sightings yet but that will hopefully change. Our college got some passes to the red carpet premiere of a Chinese film yesterday so I'm hoping that I will be around for another one. I

I did go see Francis Ford Coppola's "Tetro" last night. It was absolutely amazing/beautiful/weird. I am hoping to see the Jim Carrey one soon too - "I love you Phillip Morris" and "Taking Woodstock" by Ang Lee. :-)
