Day 1 - Cannes Film Festival-May 11, 2011




Okay I finally have Internet connection. For a minute I thought my blogging days were over before I got started. I am in Nice heading over to Cannes for opening day of the Cannes Film Festival 2011. On the red carpet tonight will be the stars of Woody Allen's new movie "Midnight In Paris" starring Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates and the first lady of France, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.

Met Yolanda Brinkley my Facebook Friend for the first time today. We met at the Hotel Majestic Barriere on the Croisette. While we we standing at the elevator Robert DeNiro walked in with his security. We made eye contact and I got a picture of him with my phone camera while he was waiting for the elevator. His security said I wasn't suppose to take pictures inside the hotel, but Robert didn't seem to mind. Miranda, Yolanda's landlord in Cannes was also there and she joked that Deniro was really staring at me and probably thought I was Naomi Campbell. We laughed about it for quite a while.

Yolanda took me to the accreditation office to get my film festival package. I was able to get everything except a ticket to the first screening of Midnight in Paris. Oh well c'est la vie.

Stay tuned for all the news from Cannes each day of the festival.
