Fug File: Cannes

Cannes Bai Ling: Bai Ling


We saw her at the Cannes Opening Ceremony, and that was not just a tease. SHE IS BACK. And according to IMDb, she’s got THIRTEEN MOVIES in various stages of completion. Sure, some of them just have “???” listed as their release date, but still. One of them stars Andrew McCarthy! That’s a real thing! Bring on the multiple premieres for your assorted, possibly-straight-to-DVD-but-whatever films, Bai Ling. Never leave me again!

Cannes Fugs and Fabs: Jessica Biel


I was going to make a snide joke about how I wonder if Biel will ever work again — I keep forgetting she was in Hitchcock – and then IMDb reminded me that there is a rumor that the David O. Russell movie she made with Jake Gyllenhaal in 2008 (which was apparently a disaster on several fronts, from financing to problems with SAG to apparently huge chunks of it being unfilmed) is finally coming out this year. Can you imagine knowing that what should have been a total marquee film for your career has been moldering for almost five years? And watching Jennifer Lawrence win an Oscar for her David O. Russell movie during that time? Biel can be annoying — remember that time she moaned to Allure about how it’s been super, super hard for her to be SO BEAUTIFUL, career-wise? — but that has got to have really stuck in her craw. Insert your own “craw” joke when you see her bird outfit.

Cannes Fugs and Fabs: The Cleopatra Premiere


Finally, Jessica Chastain makes an appearance at the festival that essentially birthed her. For that reason I think I will always be disappointed if she doesn’t go so big that Texas abruptly shudders with a sudden inferiority complex.

Cannes Fugs and Fines: Rooney Mara


At this point I want to slip the Pantone book under her hotel room door with the note, “RECONSIDER.”

NOTE: This first pic is not Rooney. I fell for the incorrect caption because of the hat. I figured it skewed things in pics but that in person they would have known it was her. Not so! But I am leaving the pic because the outfit is dumb.

Cannes Fabs and Feh: Zoe Saldana


When this was shown during Paris Fashion Week, I wrote that it was gorgeous but “a bit eau de pinafore,” and that I’d be curious to see if it worked in real life (read: the red carpet, which is the realest context any of these things ever see). Well, curiosity sated. Happily. (Mostly.)
