The Queen Bee must apologize unreservedly for the irresponsible lapse in her duties. Let me make it up to you and get you up to date on the last couple of day’s events.
So following my last blog my faithful plus one and I headed out in our hottest little cocktail dresses to the opening night of the Terrazzo Martini (the Martini Terrace). The lovely little venue on the beach benefitted from the liquid talents of said beverage and the team of dedicated barmen (all of whom were quite handsome indeed I might add) kept the martini and gin based cocktails flowing all evening. The event being hosted there was organized by film trade magazine Variety and was called Billion Dollar Producers and honored legendary French writer/producer and director Luc Besson (The Big Blue, Fifth Element, Nikita and Leon). Also in attendance was Heroes actor Jimmy Jean-Louis who plays The Haitian accompanied by his petit French girlfriend who was clearly bemused and a little bored with the attention her man was getting from admirers. Jean-Louis is appearing in a new film by Besson – hence the link. My night was brightened further due to an impromptu meeting with Michael Fassbender (who played Bobby Sands in Hunger) who had popped by to do a television interview with a French TV show before nipping off to the Fish Tank premiere in the Palais. The poor man may be beginning to think I am stalking him having bumped into him and interviewed him last year in Cannes and then in London on the red carpet but nonetheless he gave me a big hug and stopped for a quick chat. He has another premiere next week – Inglourious Basterds – and is leaving the Cannes craziness for a few days in between before that tornado hits the town!
That was it for celebrity sightings. We did meet a lot of other interesting filmy type people and went on for drinks in the bar at the luxurious Majestic Hotel after being refused entry into the Abu Dhabi film party! The cheek! A couple of overpriced glasses of house rose later and it was off to bed for some beauty sleep!
