The comedy-mystery, directed by Ethan Coen, debuted during the festival's popular Midnight Screenings section. It made quite an impression, receiving a six-minute standing ovation from the audience at the Grand Theatre Lumiere.

He later clarified any speculation by sharing the reason for his absence on Instagram. In a story shared after the premiere, the actor explained that he decided to stay home for an important family celebration: his mother Lisa's 70th birthday.
Evans wrote, 'I wish I could've been with my incredible cast and filmmakers at Cannes, but it was my mother's 70th birthday and there are some things you just can't miss!' Along with the message, he included a photo of his co-stars and director on the red carpet. The Red One star offered his congratulations and support by adding, 'Congrats everyone!!'
Alongside Evans, Honey Don't! stars Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, Charlie Day, and Billy Eichner in pivotal roles. Qualley, Plaza, and Day all attended the big premiere alongside Ethan Coen and posed for press photos.
Chris Evans has often shared how much his family means to him. As one of four children, he spoke in a 2017 Esquire interview about how much he values close familial ties. The 43-year-old actor said, 'I've always loved stories about people who put their families before themselves. It's such a noble endeavor. You can't choose your family, as opposed to friends.'

File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo May 31 (UPI) -- Patti LuPone has apologized for her recent remarks about her fellow Broadway stars Kecia Lewis and Audra Mcdonald after hundreds of members of the New York theater community attempted to get LuPone disinvited to the Tony Awards. "For as long as I have worked in the theatre, I have spoken my mind and never apologized. That is changing today," LuPone said in an Instagram post Saturday. "I am deeply sorry for the words I used during The New Yorker interview, particularly about Kecia Lewis, which were demeaning and disrespectful," she added, referring to comments that appeared at the end of a wide-ranging article published online May 26. "I regret my flippant and emotional responses during this interview, which were inappropriate, and I am devastated that my behavior has offended others and has run counter to what we hold dear in this community. I hope to have a chance to speak to Audra [McDonald] and Kecia personally to offer my sincere apologies." Variety said an open letter -- signed by about 500 people connected to the New York theater community -- made the rounds Friday, condemning LuPone's remarks and asking the organizers of the Tony Awards to ban her from Broadway's biggest night.

Paige Spiranac Got 'Greatest Experience of my Life' with Tiger Woods
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Any golf fan would give almost anything for a lesson from the legendary Tiger Woods. Well, the equally famous Paige Spiranac had that opportunity, and naturally, it was unforgettable. Spiranac recounted the experience during a recent interview on the Vanity Index podcast by Skratch. The former pro player and current influencer also revealed what impressed her most about Woods—and it wasn't precisely his golf skills. "He gave me a chipping lesson once. It was like the greatest experience of my life," Spiranac said. "He smells so good, by the way... like that was the first thing I noticed." "I remember he hugged me, and he smelled so good, and I didn't take my jacket off or wash it for an embarrassingly long time because I was like, 'I feel and smell like a winner,'" she added. Of course, the moment also involved the highest quality of golf. Spiranac described the lesson she received from Tiger Woods just as you would expect from such an opportunity. "We were doing this low little spinny shot and so we opened the club up almost like on your back, open stance, narrow choke down, and you take it out and almost slice across it and it's you hit it with like a 54 [degree wedge] it comes out low and then checks on the second bounce. It's a really cool shot. He did [demonstrate it] and it was perfect." Paige Spiranac is the golf personality with the most followers on social media. She is currently followed by more than one million X users, more than four million on Instagram and more than 1.4 million on TikTok. Her YouTube channel has over 445,000 subscribers.

She played in the Cactus League, a mini tour, where she even won a tournament. She then tried to earn her LPGA Tour card via Q-School, but failed on her first attempt and gave up. Last year, Spiranac revealed that she had given up on a professional golf career because life on the tour was too emotionally demanding for her.

Mexican band Grupo Firme cancels festival appearance because of US visa issue
Mexican band Grupo Firme cancels festival appearance because of US visa issue The Tijuana-based regional music group is among a growing number of Mexican musicians who have had abrupt visa issues. Show Caption Hide Caption Spotted: Pedro Pascal in economy class on his way to Cannes Actor Pedro Pascal went viral for his comments on U.S. immigration at Cannes Film Festival. The Mexican band Grupo Firme canceled their headlining June 1 performance at a California music festival because the group said their visas were currently in an 'administrative process' to enter the country. The Tijuana-based regional Mexican music group is among a growing number of Mexican musicians who have had abrupt visa issues, sometimes for alleged ties to drug cartels, during the second Trump administration. It wasn't immediately clear what caused visa issues for Grupo Firme to enter the country for their June 1 performance at La Onda Fest, in Napa Valley. The band offered no further details aside from a May 30 post on Instagram Stories. The post said the United States Embassy currently had visas in an 'administrative process' for bandmates and their record label, Music VIP. This made it 'impossible' for them to attend the Mexican music festival. 'We are sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause,' the post said in Spanish. 'We appreciate your understanding and, above all, the love of our fans in the United States.' In an emailed response, the Department of State said visa records are confidential by law, so they couldn't comment on the case. Officials didn't respond to questions about the basis for the visa issue, or about the 'administrative process' the band described. The group said they would share news of their return to the United States when they can make new plans. Mexican singer Julión Álvarez said he had his visa revoked ahead of a sold-out May 24 show at AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys. In 2017, Álvarez had his visa revoked after being accused of ties to a drug trafficker, though he denied this. He was taken off a list in 2022, and he was in the country as recently as April to perform three sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Earlier this year, the State Department revoked the visas for Los Alegres del Barranco, after the band displayed an image of Mexican drug lord Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho,' at a concert in Mexico in late March. The group had an American tour planned. On X, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau confirmed the department canceled Los Alegres' work and tourist visas for "glorifying" Oseguera Cervantes, who is head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. In 2021, Grupo Firme won a Latin Grammy for best banda album. The group is known for songs such as "Ya Supérame" and "Cada Quién." But in February, the group canceled a festival performance in Mazatlán, in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, after being threatened by a suspected drug cartel. The threat reportedly came in the form of a narcomanta – a banner used by drug cartels to communicate messages – displayed on a bridge, as well as a severed human head found nearby, addressed to Grupo Firme. Grupo Firme has sought to distance itself from music known as narcocorridos, or drug ballads, that have gained an international following, coinciding with a global rise in the popularity of regional Mexican music. States in Mexico have sought to ban the subgenre of corridos, or Mexican ballads. In April, Grupo Firme's lead singer, Eduin Caz, said the group doesn't perform narcocorridos. Their music, focused on love and heartbreak, 'has fed us very well,' he said at a press conference. La Onda Fest was set to take place May 31 to June 1, with Grupo Firme slated as the last act on the second day. The festival said Tito Double P, a corridos singer from Sinaloa, would replace Grupo Firme.
