More than 10,000 were on hand as Henri 2, Paw de Deux (below) was crowned the winner of the people’s choice award, a.k.a. The Golden Kitty!
The tongue-in-cheek, quasi-high brow prize-winning film is in French with English subtitles, dripping with feline ennui, irony and

8 months ago
The office of embattled Congressman Todd Akin (R-MO) is pretty furious with GOP activist and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove.
For joking that Akin should be bumped off, obviously.
Businessweek reports that Rove spoke about Akin – who is facing calls to drop his bid for Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat – at a GOP donors’ breakfast in Tampa.
The site says Rove quipped to the audience: “We should sink Todd Akin. If he’s found mysteriously murdered, don’t look for my whereabouts!”

Robert Pattinson to Appear on The Daily Show
9 months ago
Sorry, Good Morning America. You’ve been scooped.
Following the announcement that Robert Pattinson had scheduled his first post-scandal interview with that ABC program, Comedy Central has now stepped in to make a correction:
The Twilight Saga stud will actually sit across from Jon Stewart on Monday’s edition of The Daily Show.
The appearance was booked far in advance, as part of Pattinson’s promotion of Cosmopolis, but given the nature of this comedic series, it’s hard not to wonder if Stewart won’t at least make some reference to another famous Stewart.

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, the actor told a story about how he once asked a friend for some sleep medication before a 10-hour flight from Los Angeles to London. An easy enough request, right? Not in this case.
“I take a little sleeping pill, pop it and realize nothing’s happening,” The Bourne Legacy star said. “But something else was happening.”
If you know what he means! Yes, folks, Renner was given Viagra instead of Ambien and the results kept a

9 months ago
Robert Pattinson is yet to speak out regarding Kristen Stewart’s admitted affair with Rupert Sanders.
But although it wouldn’t be difficult to imagine the pain this actor is in regardless, he actually expressed his take on infidelity in the April edition of Italian Vanity Fair.
“There’s a thing I’ve never got, that is, why do people cheat?” Pattinson asked in the article. “I can understand the impulse, but not how you can keep two relationships going at the same time for long. This usually happens to people with children.”
Sanders, of course, does have two children. But Stewart claims her
