After their attempted secret romantic getaway to Austin last weekend, Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong decided to go public with their new relationship, and were seen dancing and kissing the night away at Dolce & Gabanna’s annual Cannes bash.

The pair spent the evening kissing and dancing to old Madonna songs and other 80’s tracks, with a source saying that the new couple “only had eyes for each other” in the packed VIP room.

“They were beaming at each other,” the source added. “So cute.”

Other stars who attended Friday night’s VIP party included Cannes juror Natalie Portman, Lindsay Lohan (minus girlfriend Samantha Ronson), and temperamental supermodel Naomi Campbell.

The rumors have been circulating for some time now that Lindsay Lohan enjoys chowing down on Pink Taco and not the restaurant chain either. Lindsay has been pretty tight with long-term ‘gal pal’ Samantha Ronson for some time now, with all the associated lovers tiffs and makeup holidays. Recently Lindsay’s sister, Ali, came out denying that Lindsay is a lesbian, but these pics do nothing except fuel the rumors.

You would think that if she was serious about dispelling these rumors, the last thin Lindsay would do is be caught publicly kissing Samantha and holding her hand in Cannes.

It could be argued, that this entire scene is totally innocent, just like the image John Travolta kissing another man, except innocence and Lindsay Lohan go together about as well as Michael Jackson and a kindergarten.

I just hope they checked the coat rack after she left.

Actress Sharon Stone did something in Cannes that she doesn’t normally do… she actually wore clothing (and I’m not talking a measly bikini, either!).

Ms. Stone looked half-way decent in her diamond Dior sandals and flowing animal print dress as she attended the premiere of the movie Changeling at the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, yesterday.

Her simple look was certainly a nice change from the Stone we’re all used to.

Former O.C. starlet Mischa Barton has been criticized for failing to attend the scheduled premiere of her new movie, You And I, in Cannes, because she thought the film was “awful” and “didn’t want to be involved in the project.”

Barton, who turned 22 in January, opted to party at Chopard’s Cannes bash instead of attending the premiere. She pulled out of all promotional work for the film earlier in the day, saying she was going home, but a source has revealed Mischa was still on the Riviera and drinking champers when You And I was due to debut.

The source apparently asked the young actress why she wasn’t at the premiere, to which Mischa snapped: “I was never due to go.” Not a very good argument, considering she was in partying in Cannes at the time.

In the film, Mischa plays one of two teenage girls who attend a t.A.T.u. concert in Moscow and fall in love. Bandmembers Lena and Yulia play themselves in the cross-continental film. As you all know, t.A.T.u. is the Russian girl band who’ve made a controversial come-back, appearing naked in their new music video for the track, Beliy Plachik.

The plotline is pretty simple: “[The girls] are swept into a dangerous world of obsession, drug abuse and murder.” Sounds a lot like the plot to Lindsay Lohan’s D-grade stripper romp, I Know Who Killed Me.

Here are some pics of Mischa from Britain’s Best 2008 Awards in London.

Somebody’s getting too big for their boots…

Actress Scarlett Johansson was left sulking at home in NYC after her diva-like demands to attend Cannes were turned down by a film studio, while her Vicky Cristina Barcelona co-stars, Penelope Cruz and Rebecca Hall, soaked up the glitz and glamour of the Cannes Film Festival’s infamous red carpet.

Johansson was supposed to be in France promoting Woody Allen’s latest movie, which sees the 23-year-old making out with Spaniard Cruz (among others), but her outrageous demands saw her ditched by Warner Brothers Films and left at home.

Just what did the diva demand? According to the French branch of the film company, she demanded “her own exclusive make-up consultant at a cost of 5,000 Euros a day,” and “her own private hotel”, well away from where all the other stars were staying in the heart of Cannes.

“It was crazy,” an insider said. “Penelope and Rebecca were going to be working very hard and it wasn’t acceptable that Scarlett would be having to come in from that [a distance of 25-30 miles] every day, most likely turning up late and it would have thrown schedules into a lot of confusion.”

An executive connected to the film added: “While Woody’s terribly fond of Scarlett, he was a little upset that she wasn’t being a team player.”

Prior to being kicked from Cannes, Warner Brothers Films had been “in negotiation” with Johansson’s people for weeks, and had “happily agreed” to pay for all flights and accommodation, provide a limousine, arrange for designers to show her gowns, and allow her to share hair and make-up artists with co-stars Cruz and Hall.

However, diva Scarlett wasn’t missed by anyone.

“Nobody cared she wasn’t there,” a source said. “The movie belonged to Penelope and Rebecca anyway with great help from Javier.”
