Cannes: Losing Leo
by Ariana Squar, Access staffer
Yesterday was interesting to say the least. The day began with a trip to one of the hottest and most expensive hotels in Cap d'Antibbes; The Hotel du Cap, Eden Roc. Michael Douglas owns a home in this area. Celebrities known to have stayed here are everyone from Jennifer Aniston to George Clooney. Prices for suites at the hotel are estimated to cost somewhere in the neighborhood of a whopping 7,000 Euros per night. Tres expensive for this lush and beautiful beach front property where anything and every need is catered to and met with elegance and modern sophistication
We were headed there for an exclusive interview with Leo DiCaprio, but unfortunately the interview was pushed due to time constraints.
Interestingly enough if you were to head to their website, you would hear the famous music from the movie "Titanic." Leo is in town promoting his latest environmental flick and we will pick up with the interview later in the week.
Though we didn't catch Leo we did spot director Brett Ratner. This is actually quite interesting because at one point he was banned from the hotel for calling it the "Hotel du Crap". Well, apparently he's been let back in because he was chatting it up with our own Maria Menounos.
We'll be back at the hotel Wednesday for the much anticipated Ocean's Thirteen press Junket and Monday we're on the hunt for Brangelina who are rumored to be coming to town--TOGETHER.
The night 'capped' off with a live performance by U2 who perfomed in concert for everyone from the red carpet on Le Croisette to promote their upcoming movie release of their concert in 3-D, which was more than a fitting way to kick off the official 60th anniversary date of the festival.
Today, Squariana and team are off to the coveted outskirts of St. Paul de Vence for some celebrity sightings and artists on the rise as things may or may not be calmer in the thick of the Croisette in prep for the big week ahead.
Until later.
