New thread! Post away!

From People.com:
Brad & Angelina Steal the Show at Cannes

Countless stars are swarming the annual Cannes Film Festival – from Natalie Portman to Cate Blanchett – but none shine as brightly as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

The couple ruled the red carpet Thursday night at the premiere of her animated film, Kung Fu Panda – as Jolie showed off her ever-growing baby bump in a green, Grecian-style gown by Max Azria Atelier.

"This is my second time here with a Dreamworks movie, and they're always fun [because] they're not as heavy," Jolie – who recently confirmed that she's expecting told PEOPLE. "It's always a good time and there's something silly that goes on. Cannes is fun."

Jack Black certainly seemed to catch the silly mood as he described his costar to PEOPLE: "Glamorous. Pregnant. And Green – because her dress is green."

Inside the movie's after-party at the Carlton Beach, Jolie and Pitt – who are currently living in France at Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's historic Villa Maryland – chatted with George Lucas and other lucky guests in the VIP area overlooking the ocean.

Given all the chatter surrounding the famous couple – and the twins they’re expecting this summer – the local paper, Nice-Matin, announced Friday morning: "The real stars of the festival are Angelina's babies."

The Jolie-Pitts Buy for Babies in Cannes

The world's most expected twins will certainly be fashionable too.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie made an unscheduled appearance in the French Riviera town of Cannes for a shopping spree at one of their favorite baby boutiques, Bonpoint, on Monday. In 45 minutes, the couple looked at dresses for daughters Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, who turns 2 next week, and, according to store spokesperson bought "only white, white, white" for their soon-to-be-born twins in "sizes 1 to 3 mos."

What are they having? According the spokesperson, when an employee asked whether she was expecting boys or girls, the star of Wanted and Kung Fu Panda replied "I don't know yet – we don't want to know."

From Just Jared:

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie get in some alone time together, romantically holding hands as they leave their hotel in Cannes, France on Monday.

Brad & Angelina's Star-Studded Dinner Date

The Jolie-Pitts left their brood at home Monday night for a leisurely dinner on the Cotes d'Azur with Clint Eastwood and Mick Jagger.

Brad Pitt, 44, and Angelina Jolie, 32, joined their celebrity pals and about eight other guests – including Rush Hour director Brett Ratner – for an evening of bouillabaisse, grilled langouste (warm-water lobster) and white wine.

The group arrived at Restaurant Tetou in Golfe-Juan – about three miles from Cannes – at around 8:30 p.m. Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, 64, was the first to leave, and the whole party broke up around midnight.

"Angelina and Brad are adorable," a waitress tells PEOPLE. "They are so in love. The whole table was super nice."

Film legend Eastwood, 77, directed Jolie in Changeling, which premieres at the Cannes Film Festival Tuesday. (Jolie and Pitt are expected to walk the red carpet.)

Earlier in the day, the couple – who are expecting twins – nipped out for some baby clothes shopping.

From Just Jared:

Angelina Jolie attends the Changeling Photocall at Palais des Festivals during the 2008 Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday in Cannes, France.
Angie talked about being pregnant and traveling at the same time. “Because we have twins, we have to get to know a doctor wherever we’re based, just in case they come early,” she said.

From Awards Daily:
'Changeling' Rave Reviews

Variety’s Todd McCarthy gives it high praise, “emotionally powerful and stylistically sure-handed”:

A dozen filmmakers could have taken a dozen different approaches to the same material — sensationalistic, melodramatic, expose-minded, a kid’s or killer’s p.o.v., and so on. Perhaps the best way to describe Eastwood’s approach is that he’s extremely attentive — to the central elements of the story, to be sure (with its echoes of “A Perfect World”), but also to the fluidity between the private and the public, the arbitrariness of life and death, the distinct ways different people view the same thing, the destructive behavior of some adults toward children and the quality of life in California around the time he was born.

And Cinematical says:

Clint Eastwood’s Changeling (which may or may not be now known as The Exchange), is a riveting drama about a missing boy and the undying constancy of a mother’s love. Angelina Jolie excels in a powerful performance as Christine Collins, whose nine-year-old son, Walter, disappeared in 1928. Five months later, police returned to her a boy they said was Walter; Christine alleged that the boy was not her son.

And Richard Corliss of TIME says:

Changeling is an epic, fact-based story — depicting sadistic, systematic corruption in the municipal government, the police department and the medical establishment of 1920s Los Angeles — that has the novelty of being virtually unknown today. It juggles elements of L.A. Confidential, The Black Dahlia, The Snake Pit and any number of serial-killer thrillers. But at its center are the heartache and heroic resolve of a woman who has lost the one person she loves most and is determined to find him, dead or alive, against all obstacles the authorities place in her way. In that sense the movie is a companion piece to last year’s Cannes entry A Mighty Heart, in which Jolie played the wife of kidnapped journalist Daniel Pearl — except that Changeling is far more taut, twisty and compelling.

He closes his rave this way:

With flaring red lipstick on a face that hasn’t seen much time in the California sun, and with a grieving matched in severity only by her will to learn the truth, Jolie carries the burden of the first hour. As the story expands, and finds new avenues of real-life horror, Jolie can coast on the narrative instead of having to push it with her grit and tears. The movie becomes an ensemble piece, with a dozen or so character actors carrying the storyline. In other words, Changeling is exactly as good as its makings. By the end, with its purposeful accumulation of depravities, both individual and institutional, Eastwood’s non-style has paid off; the story’s weight could come close to burying you in despair.

You may ask: There’s that much evil in the world? And Clint, thinking more about storytelling craft than Cannes crockery, would say, Sure. But there are heroes too. And this time, the righteous gunslinger is a mom with no weapon but her inexhaustible love.

Well, here you go, folks. A true Best Picture contender out of Cannes.

(Some people are reporting that the movie has changed its title to 'The Exchange' but Clint Eastwood said at a press conference in Cannes that he isn't aware of the title change.)
