Cannes Wednesday: 'Che' Panned Plus Madonna, Mike Tyson, Benicio, Sheer Dresses And More (PHOTOS)

Wednesday in Cannes the stars were out for two different premieres. Sharon Stone joined Madonna (who had visible nipples) and Guy Ritchie at the premiere of "I Am Because We Are," the material mom's documentary on Malawi. More anticipated and drawing more stars than her movie, however, was the premiere of Steven Soderbergh's 4 1/2 hour "Che," starring Oscar winner Benicio del Toro. Unfortunately, Variety did not like the film, and said, "Che seems diminished by the way he's portrayed here... [the film as shown in Cannes] is a commercial impossibility." Fox called it a "mess."

Update: Soderbergh explained and defended the film in a Thursday press conference.

Comments

If they made Che a supporter of John McCain, I think this movie would have far greater success.

[RobtBrock]

I saw the film "Che" over thirty years ago - starring Omar Sharif in the title role.

[ResidentChimp]

I surprise Cannies did fawn all over this anti-american movie that celebrates a murderous thug. Maybe they're coming to their senses.

[wmbear]

FOUND IT!!!

I'm so excited....

[frl]

natalie portman is simply stunning. what a lovely example for girls.

[Trittydi]

Who are all these people? I've hardly heard of any of them. Herzigova's dress would have been more effective if the lace had trail down - loosely -just a bit further down her legs - maybe 6-10 inches further.

Hey Trittydi, Get out and see a movie. Or, go to www.imdb.com
and type in the names of those BIG STARS that YOU have never heard of. Ya gotta get out more chicky...

[Steamboater]

Madonna looks like she had somethijng done to her face.,

[mojopo]

Soderbergh must have a super huge...er...bank account?

[wm1066]

Not a big fan of Che, but I did like the Motorcycle Diaries.
But 4 and ahalf hours?..... Man its a mini series!
The actor looks the part. Do they show how he was betrayed by Castro? Then made into a martyred hero by Castro? I remember these events happening in the news in real time.

Watch out Jules your husband's neck beard is threatening to consume his collar, you, and the entire award ceremony. How can everyone freak out about a near fifty Madonna looking gym starved as she has for nearly an entire decade and gloss over the always disgusting neck beard? Is he trying to get sympathy for his bloated film? Look how much time I spent making this movie, too busy to keep my chest and facial hair from becoming one unholy union!

[ICanHasDemocracy]

Sharon Stone is looking hard. Madge, where is that portrait in teh attic? What a cougar...rawr!

[CammyV]

Madge looks positively ethereal in the 1st 2 photos. Best I've seen her look in ages.

[OsamaBushLadin]

Looks like she brought her man hands with her.

[Ragga]

Who cares! Her hands? She has always had ugly hands. Madonna looks great in these photos.

[truthyguy]

Just how stupid do you have to be to be convinced by some so-called designer that a swimsuit with a see through cover is a dress, pay ridiculous money for it and then actually go in public wearing it? For the answer ask Eva Herzigova.

[bracken]

Forget the nipple--it's her scrawny neck that's unattractive, and the ugly line of her bumpy bony upper frame. Somehow I just can't understand why looking like an underfed refugee, with skin stretched over clavicles and sternum, is considered attractive. Bring back soft shoulders!

[Ragga]

Ummm no where in these photos does Madonna look boney. She is a size 4.

[monique]

Some of you people are just downright mean.

And it is such a joke. Sitting there at home, insulting beautiful people.

Why? Because you can? Does it make you feel better about yourselves?

[gr8abz]

Oh, I wouldn't worry about the beautiful people. They have it great. Life IS a beach for them. Believe me. I have worked in sho-business for years. The ones on top have it ALL. They make it SOOO big they live like Kings and Queens. They are our royalty for our times. Any little digs that come there way via a blog are meaningless. These celebrities receive more money, sex, flattery, free gifts and entitlements than you could ever dream of. So don't feel sorry for any of them. Just take care of yourself.

[GQTaste]

Bingo! gr8abz hit the nail on the head w/ his/her opinion. These people live like kings and queens and are celebrated like Royality. When your busting your ass for 40k a year and they make 12 million for three months work to play make believe. You should take that into account.

[wedgie]

Monique,
You are absolutely right.

One of the biggest problems in the world, (you'll deal with this if you are ever raising a child, maybe you already have) is the rampant use of "killer statements". Words used to hurt. Our entire entertainment industry, Fox News, kids in school, the whole damn word thinks saying snide hateful things is cool.

It isn't. I poisons the world. It poisons us. And it becomes a self fulfilling prophesy for every interaction in our lives.

I know, it sounds all new age, but it's true.

[Ragga]

Thank you monique. Its sad to waste the energy on negative statements. Happy people don't feel the need to put down others.

[AnnArky]

What is it they say about opinions & assholes? Is it, "everyone has one" or "everyone is one"?
