...photo op of voting in Italy, predictably, featured a showgirl. Noemi Letizia, the leggy 18-year-old at the center of a would-be scandal that has dominated Italy's campaign season, was followed by a pack of paparazzi as she cast her first-ever vote in Naples on Sunday. Donning designer sunglasses and accompanied by her parents, Letizia presumably sided with Silvio Berlusconi's center-right coalition, though both she and the Italian Prime Minister have repeatedly denied anything "spicy, or more than spicy" (as the PM put it) to their mutual affinity...

When Heath Ledger passed away, there were hordes of paparazzi camped outside Michelle Williams' house. I didn't run any of those pictures. There are certain things that to me are just right or are just very wrong. It's a fine line, and I walk it in my head...
...there still are that many left in a shrinking arts-news market - it's a giant screening room for hundreds of pictures, and a chance to get a jump on the rest of the world in discovering the hot new Romanian auteur. And for the celebrity hounds - the enormous paparazzi contingent and the locals who line the steps of the Festival's Grand Palais - Cannes offers the planet's strongest concentration of star quality. Except, perhaps, when Barack and Michelle Obama have a quiet dinner for two. (See pictures of the 2008 Cannes Film Festival...
