Postcards from Cannes

By Paige Ferrari

The Cannes Film Festival is upon us, and even though all of Hollywood is partying it up on the French Riviera as we wile away in our cubicles, many of them have been kind enough to send us postcards (and for even more dispatches from Cannes, check out MSN Movies' full coverage.)

Dear Everyone —

You can all stop holding your breath in anticipation, because we're finally here! Someone had to put the gloriousness in this premiere of "Inglourious Basterds."

Humbly,

Brangelina

Dear Kristen,

Believe it or not, I don't melt in sunlight. I don't think you will either.

Some French kissing next year?

-Robert Pattinson

Hey all,

Spending time on Robert Cavalli's boat, displaying a fabulous array of skintight outfits. Forgot our camera but that's okay, we think the paparazzi have us covered!

With many public displays of affection,

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon

I'm having so much fun right now. I swear, this is what my face looks like when I'm having fun. Please tell Sean Penn I'm having so much fun.

Ecstatic — I swear,

Robin Wright

Loved walking the red carpet with Pedro Almodovar. Ah, the perks of being a great director's muse.

Besos,

Penelope Cruz

Arrived at the Chopard party in style. Which is to say, in a dress that showed off my guns.

Sincerely,

Evangeline Lilly

Bonjour darlings! Catching some sun in Cannes, wearing ze aluminum foil for maximum UV saturation.

Beautifully bronzed,

Sophie Marceau

Just strolled down the Promenade wearing a hat that is reasonably close to a beret. Crazy, right?

Appropriately behatted,

-Ne-Yo

Communing with the ocean critters (and my new boyfriend) on a fabulous yacht. Milo who?

Half-dressed to impress,

Hayden Panettiere

U know what's great about France? No shirt, no shoes, great service!

See you on the flipside(by that I mean Vegas),

Tara Reid

When in Cannes, never hesitate to dress as a Star Trek villain. I didn't!

Live long and prosper,

Tilda Swinton

Chilling with Diane Kruger. Talking Nazi movies and "American Idol."

F*&! yeah life is good,

Quentin Tarantino

Aishwarya Rai Bechchan and I decided to dress as the French flag. (Yeah, I know, we're still waiting for Seth Rogan to show up painted blue.)

Xoxo,

Elizabeth Banks

Having a great time in Cannes. Fooled most of the paparazzi with my "early stage Lindsay Lohan" costume. Suckers!

– Devon Aoki

Here for "Inglorious Basterds," but everyone just wants to hear me to do Shrek.

Taking what I can get,

Mike Meyers

People seem shorter in France. Or maybe it's just my 4-inch travel heels?

–Beyonce

Thanks goodness I'm in Europe, where a woman can wear a linen jumpsuit without fear or shame.

Fashionably crumpled,

Eva Longoria

Putting in some quality time with Denise Rich and Kelly Rowland. Kelly wore jean shorts. isn't that just like Kelly?

– Star Jones

Eleven days in Cannes, but I only packed 10 ridiculous outfits. How embarrassing!

With a tip of my ostentatious purple hat,

Phoebe Price

People in France like me. They really really like me! Cannes is in France, right?

So hot right now,

Paris Hilton
