By a Provencal mile, the most controversial film in Cannes is Paperboy from Lee Daniels, the director of Precious. Nothing else even comes close. Based on a darkly comic novel by Pete Dexter, it all unspools as a wild, unhinged southern gothic potboiler that upends whatever notions you may hold about four major Hollywood actors. Matthew McConaghey plays the investigative journalist with a raw sexual secret—and his character is investigating the story of Nicole Kidman’s “sexed-up Barbie,” a bodacious, horny gal who gets off on writing sexed-up letters to violent convicts. Zac Efron plays McConaghey’s younger, tightie-whitie-wearing brother, a naïve horndog who falls for the babe, despite the fact that she’s getting married to a swamp-dwelling racist psychopath. Many critics who were expecting another Precious have been disappointed. Others are embracing the film as an instant trash-cinema cult-classic. Everyone is arguing, but one thing is clear: When Matthew McConaghey does violent on-screen bondage, or Nicole Kidman pees on Zac Efron to heal his character’s jellyfish wound, it’s news. In Cannes, GQ asked Lee Daniels to explain the festival’s wildest film.
GQ: Hi there.
Lee Daniels: First, though, GQ is my favorite magazine. I got a lot of GQ posters in my college room in the ’70s….
GQ: What was your favorite cover?
Lee Daniels: When they put that homeboy on the cover with the mustache. It was it. It was the end. He’s my hero. Anyway…
GQ: Great. Well, Congratulations on being the most talked-about man in Cannes.
Lee Daniels: Am I? Really? Dude, it’s crazy…

I haven’t posted candids here for several years (for reasons I will post about soon, but might be obvious!), but I thought I’d make an exception for Cannes, seeing as it’s a very ‘public’ place during the festival and the stars are really there to be photographed during their time there. So, I’ve added candids of Nic arriving in at Nice airport on Tuesday, and candids from Wednesday. On Wednesday Nic was snapped on a beach doing a photoshoot, and later had dinner with her Paperboy co-stars on a beach-front restaurant. Photos from these sightings, most of which are in HQ, can be seen in the Gallery now:
• May 22nd, Nice x5
• May 23rd, Cannes x7
• May 23rd, Cannes – High Quality x32

Nicole and her Hemingway & Gelhorn co-stars and crew have just walked the red carpet and steps at Cannes for the premiere of their movie. Nicole looks a-m-a-z-i-n-g in a black and gold gown with her hair short and curly – I absolutely love this look on her! I love that she’s being more daring with her fashion at Cannes and embracing that side of her, because when she does it, she rocks the red carpet like no-one else 
First photo below, more to come…

Nic was back in front of the cameras this morning for the Hemingway & Gelhorn photocall, alongside co-star Clive Owen and director Philip Kaufman. Nicole looked chic in a black and white Christian Dior dress and her hair styled similar to yesterday.
Have a peek at a first photo below, and check back continuously over the weekend for the full batch!

Cannes 2012: Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman Talk ‘Paperboy’ Sex Scenes, Nudity
“I had to step into a place to play the character where I didn’t step out of it and look at myself,” Kidman said of working on Lee Daniels’ in Competition film.
The stars of The Paperboy, Lee Daniels’ Southern melodrama which is in Competition in Cannes, gathered in front of a packed press room on Thursday morning to talk about the drama, sex and nudity.
Daniels was joined by stars Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey, John Cusack and Macy Gray at the conference.
The film stars McConaughey as Ward Jansen, a journalist investigating a case involving a man on death row, Hillary Van Wetter (Cusack). A trailer-trash vixen named Charlotte Bless (Kidman) who is in love with Van Wetter is pushing for justice for her man. She also catches the eye of Jansen’s younger brother (Efron).
Kidman has some of the most memorable scenes in the film. In one, she is involved in a scene in a prison visiting room that involves no touching, and in another, her character urinates on Efron’s character after he gets a jellyfish sting. Reporters asked Kidman if she felt uncomfortable filming some of the more personal scenes.
“Strangely no, because I think I had to step into a place to play the character where I didn’t step out of it and look at myself, so it wasn’t hard to shoot,” she said.

It’s premiere time, and the The Paperboy cast and crew walked the red carpet at the famous Palais des Festivals a little while ago. Nicole looked divine in a pink silk tulle dress by Lanvin, accessorising with a Lanvin clutch and Cartier jewellry. She had her strawberry blonde hair in a loose bun.
Again, there are going to be a million photos coming in from this premiere, so I am going to post a preview photo here, and start saving and adding a full set of photos asap tomorrow.
What do you think of this look on Nic?

Kidman “oversexed Barbie Doll” in gritty Cannes film
Nicole Kidman plays an “oversexed Barbie doll” in the hard-hitting murder drama “The Paperboy”, premiering at the Cannes film festival on Thursday and notable for arresting scenes of sex, violence and urination.
In the adaptation of a Pete Dexter novel, the Australian Oscar winner plays trailer-trash bombshell Charlotte Bless, who is obsessed with a man on death row with whom she exchanges letters.
She is drawn into a newspaper investigation into the prisoner, who may have been wrongfully convicted, triggering a frantic series of sexual encounters, humorous exchanges and a dangerous game of violence and death in the Florida swamps.
Two scenes in particular had critics and reporters chattering in Cannes after a press screening.

If the early morning buzz is any indication, Nicole Kidman will be a major player this winter in he Oscar race. Her Lee Daniels directed film, “The Paperboy,” was shown to the press this morning. The reaction was unanimous raves for Kidman, who already has an Oscar for her role as Virginia Woolf in “The Hours.” She most recently was nominated for “Rabbit Hole.”
Kidman and her cast, including Matthew McConnaughey, will be walking the red carpet at the Palais tonight to much fanfare. Lee Daniels, who directed the indie hit and six time Oscar nominee “Precious,” should be beaming. That’s because all day distributors are fighting for the chance to buy “The Paperboy.” Everyone should be this popular! Kidman and crew will steal the heat from everything else tonight.
