Madonna, Sharon Stone Charm Cannes Crowd

When it comes to entertaining crowds of people, Madonna knows what she’s doing. And with her latest film effort “I Am Because We Are” she’s doing her part to change hearts as well.

The Material Girl, along with hubby Guy Ritchie, were spotted at the 61st Annual Cannes Film Festival earlier today for the movie’s premiere. “I Am Because We Are” is, “a look into the lives of Malawi’s 1 million plus orphans in the wake of the AIDS pandemic. It offers hope and real solutions to the challenges that people face living in extreme poverty.

And Madge looked stunning in a black v-necklined multi-textured dress with silver accents and a high-waisted belt.

Also in the house was Sharon Stone, looking sexy in a floor-length halter style evening gown with a short and sexy blonde coif and a pair of fabulous heels.

Gwyneth Paltrow at the Cannes photocall for “Two Lovers”

It may be hard to believe, but even beautiful Hollywood actresses struggle with insecurities. Just ask Gwyneth Paltrow.

During a press junket to promote her new flick “Two Lovers” (also starring Joaquin Phoenix) at the 61st Annual Cannes Film Festival, the “Sliding Doors” cutie talked about her fear that motherhood would make her obsolete as an actress in Hollywood.

“I really did not know if there would be a place for me. Jodie Foster was right, especially if you are a woman and especially if you are not 25. Hollywood is pretty cutthroat, and everybody has a short memory. There is always someone who is younger or hotter or prettier. I was very realistic of that fact there would not be room for me. I definitely knew I had lost my place.”

Paltrow credits “Two Lovers” with getting her back on track, career-wise. “It has given me a lifeline, because I had taken a long time off work. Going from being a mother at home for a long time, which was the greatest time in my life, but also feel like an artist again ... that was a gift for me.”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Premieres “Changeling”

Once again taking part in a full day of promotional duties, Angelina Jolie looked her gorgeous self at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of her new movie “Changeling”.

Directed by Clint Eastwood, Jolie’s new film tells the true story of Christine Collins, who prayed for her kidnapped 9-year-old son to return home - only to find that the boy who comes back is not hers.

Talking about her character, Jolie, 32, told press: “To me, she’s very much like my mother [who died in January 2007]. My mother was very passive in many ways and very, very sweet, but when it came to her children, she was a lion.”

“So in many ways, Christine reminded me of my mom, and it was a way to kind of revisit my mother after her passing and spend time with her,” she said.
