The anatomy of Kristen Stewart's awkward, endearing standing ovation at Cannes
CANNES, France — Clocking the length of standing ovations has become something of a competitive sport at the Cannes Film Festival. But what's often lost in announcing who got six minutes and who got eight is the fun of what happens during the standing O. It's perhaps the one moment in our social media-ed, meme-ified world when we can watch celebrities at their most human.

Hat Trick: On the Endurance of the Bucket Hat
One of my cardinal rules is to never begin a piece of writing by talking about how difficult it was to begin the piece of writing. Leave that to the bad wedding speeches. But when Vogue asked me if I would write an article about bucket hats, I had no choice. I wanted to do it, but I couldn't muster a single thought on the subject. I mean, it's a hat. What more is there to say? Of all the hats, the bucket hat in particular was completely meaningless to me. I tried to spark something by researching the history. I learned that the bucket hat was originally created for Irish fishermen and became fashionable in the 1980s when it gained a foothold in the hip-hop scene, finding fans among LL Cool J and Run-D.M.C. That was what I had. One sentence, for an entire article on bucket hats. As I was thinking of a good reason I could tell Vogue why I wouldn't be able to do it, they followed up on their original email, telling me they would be sending me different bucket hats for the article: two hats from Prada, two from Tory Burch, and two from The North Face. Maybe the reason bucket hats were so meaningless to me was because I never tried the right one. Maybe I needed a bucket hat from Prada. I immediately emailed them back, saying I'd love to do the article along with my address for the hats. It was about to be summer, and I wasn't going to pass up six designer hats just because I couldn't write more than a sentence about them. A few email exchanges later, I realized the hats would need to be returned after the article. So not only would I not be keeping any hats, I was also on the hook for returning them—a task I am even more incapable of.
