attendees in Cannes the way the New Hampshire primary mesmerizes
political pundits -- it's hashed out and obsessed over for every
possible shade of meaning -- and provides a film festival with a certain
level of suspense.
With the competition now one-third underwa...

Water for Elephants enjoyed its Sydney premier tonight, with the 300m red carpet running down Pitt St Mall.
Reese Witherspoon and her co-star Robert Pattinson (Twilight) were mobbed by thousands of fans and hundreds of media types.
Earlier in the day they did Sydney's famous Luna Park, running with the circus theme.
"I think all I can do is stand back and sort of watch it happen because I'm not used to seeing somebody have so many fans," Witherspoon told the press.
