The majority of films shown in the competition will never be shown in the U.S. But from the '50s, when a young Brigitte Bardot practically burst from her bikini, Cannes has meant movie glamour, and that means movie stars. We've seen Madonna, Clint and Arnold literally stop traffic, as crowds clog the Croisette to catch a glimpse of the stars' red-carpet promenade.

"That data can be extremely useful, even if you never know who is on the other end of the phones," says Bryan Cunningham...
...hurricane hit last week, and what they saw was a shock. Entire barrier islands are missing. Coastal marshes have been shredded. A Native American encampment to the south of Port Sulphur seems to have vanished. Everywhere, dark watery splotches appear in the spots where the overloaded levees failed and burst...
