It's 5:30 in the morning on Tuesday in Los Angeles and as I'm writing this. I'm jet lagged as hell. I can't stay awake past 8:30pm and I keep waking up at dawn (which isn't the normal schedule of my lifestyle). All in all Cannes was a great trip. I really boosted up the portfolio. The gallery is a wrap up of my favorite images from the festival.
Well, those where my last few days of Cannes. I suggest everyone go at least once.

The rain wont stop, and when you're riding in a scooter there is no better idea than to drink vodka on the rocks with a lens all night. Oh, and work too.

By the time I made it to the Belvedere Vodka Jagger Dagger Party, I had already clocked 16 hours. So it was time to relax. Which was inevitable because no security guard in the V.I.P. club in Pointe Croissette cared that was the hired photographer this night. "Unlimited access" quickly turned into "hanging with the papparrazzi." Mark Ronson spun some tasty grooves as Jade Jagger, daughter of Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, displayed her $250,000 diamond and gem studded ice pick.

Browse the gallery to see my photos from the party, along with a few shots from Tuesday and Wednesday.

What was she thinking? Celeb fashion disasters Celebs show you how to dress for your body type

Eva, let's talk. Part of being a ridiculously beautiful supermodel is having a body you can flaunt. No one is judging you for this, but there's a difference between suggestively sexy and "I wanted to show up in my underwear, but I figured that wouldn't be cool -- so I wore this!"

I drove around in a scooter all day and nearly all night searching for the talented and fashionable. It rained and rained nearly all day. Wet streets, tuxedos and a dumb American who can't read the street signs spells disaster. But I've done alright so far. I had to lay her down once while I was parking because I accidentally pushed on the gas while breaking.

No Scrapes, no foul.

Here we go. I've beaten flight delays, jet lag, sharing a room the size of a closet, and driving a scooter for the first time in my life.

Before my Chopard party, I went over to the Hotel Majestic Cannes Barrière to catch some of the Jury Panel leaving to the opening night ceremony for "Blindness." Sat around for an hour with French fans with point and shoot cameras, until Mischa Barton showed up with her over the shoulder glamour. She was followed by the always classy Faye Dunaway, then Natalie Portman in a stylish purple strapless dress. And I don't know who Amira Casar is, but I dig her meter long bow tie and the checkerboard skirt. Is it suitable for Cannes?

After that it was off to Chopard, who hosted a party celebrating Italian designer Alberta Ferretti. Singer/actress and all around lick Juliette Lewis disc jockeyed the party where she played disco, techno and a few of her own tunes. Australian actress Cate Blanchett posed with the designer and a few friends.

Conclusion? Purple is already a graceful theme for ladies this year. We'll see how much more comes out. Also, Alberta Ferretti works well with the larger jewelry of Chopard -- definitely a nice combination.

The 61st Cannes Film Festival is underway, and a very pregnant Angelina Jolie is on hand to promote her new animated flick, Kung Fu Panda. And, while she didn't give too much away about the film in an interview with co-star Jack Black, another secret was revealed, or, rather, confirmed -- she and Brad Pitt are expecting twins. To Angie's credit, she reacted gracefully to Jack spilling the baby beans -- check out the video here.

But hey, this is a style blog, so let's talk about how she looked (besides being pregnant), shall we?

Over the weekend, Gwyneth Paltrow was seen sporting some ma-jah Tod's handbags and boots, which left many a fashion blogger scratching their heads: Could it all just be free swag or Did the actress get tired of all of those amazing Louboutins she wore everyday to promote her new flick Iron Man and opted for the more understated brand?

Well, all of those life or death questions have finally been answered.
