At ‘Die, My Love' Cannes Premiere, Person Dressed as Bird Flies in Face of Festival Red Carpet Rules
While hitting the red carpet for the premiere of the Lynne Ramsay-directed film Die, My Love, a person appeared in a bird suit, leaving the crowd very confused about the correlation. The bird posed for photos next to Raphaël Quenard.

However, it's worth noting that the bird costume could have ended up at the wrong premiere. Another movie, Dangerous Animals, took place a couple of blocks away and about 15 minutes before Die, My Love's carpet began. And even though the film is about sharks, not turkeys, the film's title is fair to cause some confusion.
The wild fashion choice came after the festival announced earlier this week that there is a ban this year for no nudity and 'voluminous' outfits. 'For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival. Voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theater are not permitted,' read Cannes' official charter. 'The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.'
The horror-comedy Die, My Love earned a six-minute standing ovation at Cannes. It stars Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson and is an adaptation of the 2017 novel. Lawrence plays Grace, a new mother, suffering from postpartum depression and struggling to keep her sanity. Ramsay also wrote the script with Enda Walsh and Alice Birch.
On the night before its world premiere, The Hollywood Reporter hosted a dinner in the French Rivera with its cast, filmmakers and collaborator.

Kanye West Declares 'I'm Off My Meds' In New Doc ‘In Whose Name?,' Kim Kardashian Seen in Tears
Source: HECTOR RETAMAL / Getty A new Kanye West documentary, In Whose Name? , is set to deliver a portrait of one of music's most polarizing figures. In the trailer, he revealed more about his mental health. Kanye's now ex-wife Kim Kardashian appears as well. Read more and watch the teaser trailer inside. In Whose Name? is directed by Nico Ballesteros, who began following West at age 18. According to The Hollywood Reporter , the film captures six years of the rapper's life, offering more than 3,000 hours of behind-the-scenes footage that spans artistic highs, public meltdowns, and deeply personal moments. The film will be released Sept. 19 through AMSI Entertainment in partnership with AMC, Regal, and Cinemark. It chronicles West's mental health battles, the unraveling of his marriage to Kim, the fallout from lucrative brand deals, and multiple controversies tied to antisemitic remarks and conspiracy theories. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. The newly released teaser begins with West stating, 'I'm off my meds for five months now.' He later revealed, 'I would rather be dead than be on medication.' Intercut are scenes of him in Yeezy design meetings, leading his Sunday Service gatherings, and performing for massive crowds. At one point, he's shown wearing a 'White Lives Matter' sweatshirt, which is one of many trailer moments likely to spark conversation. The trailer also reveals the strain in his relationship with Kardashian, who is heard crying, 'Your personality was not like this a few years ago.' Another exchange shows West telling her, 'Never tell me I'm gonna wake up one day and have nothing.' To which she begins to respond until he cuts her off with, 'It ain't no 'but.'' For Ballesteros, who described himself as a shy child who found connection through the camera, the project was as much about documenting humanity as it was about chronicling a celebrity's life. 'Ye has always had someone filming him,' Ballesteros shared. 'Maybe that's why we understood each other without saying much.' Producer Simran A. Singh emphasized the rawness of the work, noting the absence of narration or conclusions. 'This film presents a raw and often unsettling portrait, leaving viewers to interpret the events for themselves,' Singh said. Despite the personal and public turmoil depicted, Kardashian and West have maintained a united front when it comes to parenting, appearing together for family events like their daughter North's 2024 performance in The Lion King . In Whose Name? opens in theaters Sept. 19, offering audiences an unprecedented window into the chaos, contradictions, and creativity of Kanye West's world.

‘And Just Like That...' Series Ending, Explained — Who Does Carrie End Up With?
Look, the producers and showrunners of And Just Like That... have made a variety of baffling choices since the show premiered. And I have defended a lot of them because I simply love to have Carrie and co. back on my screen. But the series finale of And Just Like That... just aired and it is such an odd place to end the show that I felt the need to come here and break it down so I can check that I'm not missing any major, massive details. Here's what happens in the last 15 minutes of And Just Like That... The episode takes place over Thanksgiving, which would be a great time to get all the families together for some shenanigans, but in a weird choice narratively, all the families are separate. Charlotte, Harry and the kids are at their place. Harry didn't want to go to Thanksgiving at Miranda's because when he was in the midst of his battle with cancer, he told himself that he only had to make it to Thanksgiving. Because of the emotional nature of the day, he wanted to spend it in the comfort of his own home. LTW and Herbert have their kids at home, too, and the only real plot point here is that he seems to have finally gotten over the loss of the city comptroller election. Seema spends the holiday with Adam's family, which is a big deal for her as she typically shies away from this kind of thing, but she's mad she has to eat gluten free pie. I would be, too! Anthony and Giuseppe spend the day at Anthony's, confronting the idea that Anthony doesn't want to have to "mom" Giuseppe. Most of the real action happens at Miranda's. Carrie, reeling from a solo lunch where she was shamed for being alone, goes to Miranda's and is promptly left in the dust while Miranda goes to support Joy, whose dog is in the hospital. So Carrie and Brady are left to welcome the rest of the guests. Brady's baby mama Mia brings a crew with her and is promptly a nightmare. Charlotte's boss Mark Kasabian comes and Carrie realizes that she's actually been set up on a date of sorts? It's a whole thing. The day devolves into chaos. One of the members of the Mia crew named Epcot can't stop pooping (more on this later), another is doing a whole dance routine, while Mia is actually coming around to Miranda. After the meal, Mia and her friends take off and Mark goes to use the bathroom. The toilet overflows (yes, seriously, we literally see poop come out of the toilet), and he leaves. He and Carrie's chances of going on a real date seem slim to none. Joy shows up, her dog resting comfortably at home after surgery, to help Miranda. The show ends with a montage of the crew in their respective homes eating pie, and Carrie is alone at her massive house. She rewrites the epilogue of her book to say, "The woman realized she was not alone - she was on her own." And... that's it. I legitimately can't believe we spent so much of the And Just Like That... SERIES FINALE on POOP. I mean, I guess I'm happy that Carrie is coming to terms with the idea of being single and not jumping into a relationship with a new man, but this is also a little sad? I'm not a person who needs Carrie to end up with a man, but I literally had to do a lap after I watched this. If you need me, I'll be rewatching the original series over again, to soothe the ache in my heart.

Goodbye to All That
Carrie Bradshaw's last episode of television ended not with a bang but with a flush, which feels appropriate somehow. 'Party of One,' the series finale of HBO Max's And Just Like That, rehashes old patterns for the show's last hurrah, but no one's heart seems to really be in it: Miranda tries to adjust to an unexpected pregnancy; Seema wonders if she could be happily partnered without marriage; Charlotte tells Carrie, 'I'm so excited to show you my new hallway,' to which Carrie replies, pro forma, 'I may be alone for the rest of my life.' The image left in my head, though, is of the toilet bowl being frantically flushed by Charlotte's art-dealer boss, a man whose private jet can't spare him from the gastrointestinal Thanksgiving issues of a lactose-intolerant Gen Zer. Humiliation, more than anything else, has been the theme of all three seasons of And Just Like That, a cringe comedy without comedy. (Who among us will ever forget Carrie peeing into a plastic bottle while Miranda got to third base with Che in her kitchen, or Charlotte taking a pratfall onto a Tracey Emin–esque art installation and emerging with a used condom stuck to her face?) To be fair to the series, which is more than it deserves, Sex and the City was also often about mortification—the indignity of putting yourself out there as a single woman time and time again, only to be rewarded with funky spunk, porn-addicted dates, pregnancy scares, STDs, men who can't ejaculate without shouting misogynist slurs, envelopes full of cash on the nightstand. When it debuted on HBO in 1998, Darren Star and Michael Patrick King's show seemed determined to puncture the fantasy of single life in post-feminist Manhattan. 'Welcome to the age of un-innocence,' Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie narrated in the pilot. 'No one has breakfast at Tiffany's, and no one has affairs to remember. Instead we have breakfast at 7 a.m. and affairs we try to forget as quickly as possible.' Over the course of six seasons and two movies, the show's thrillingly cynical core got smothered by cloying commercialism—a fixation on both wide-eyed romance and flamboyant luxury. What stayed consistent, though, was the disgust the show seemed to manifest anytime it was forced to think about the corporeal bodies beneath the characters' clothes: Carrie's horror at Miranda's postpartum nipples and Samantha's disgust at her unwaxed bikini line, Charlotte's refusal to look at her own vagina, Anthony's appalled proclamation—when Samantha returned from Los Angeles approximately three pounds heavier—of 'Mother of God, what's with the gut!' And Just Like That has been a lot of things since its debut late in 2021: an apologia for the sins of the past, a lookbook, a backdrop for cameos from the two most Machiavellian men on reality television. But it's consistently been oddly squeamish about both sex and human physicality—almost pathologically so. During the first season, critics winced at the heavy-handed flagellation of the characters for their unconscious bias and uptight middle age; during the second, the show's lack of purpose and stakes crystallized into excruciating storylines about strap-on sex toys and, in one case, an unsolicited octogenarian dick pic that rudely interrupted a fundraiser with Gloria Steinem. The third season, set in the more genteel location of Carrie's new Gramercy Park townhouse, seemed nevertheless stuck on the idea that anyone still tuning in must be watching with the sound off, cackling at the visuals of their favorite characters being ritualistically shamed for the crime of aging. And so: We had not one but two stories about Harry's penis—first a brief examination of something called 'ghost sperm' that troubled Charlotte during sex, followed by a multi-episode storyline about prostate cancer that left Harry impotent and peeing all over his raw-denim jeans. Seema's armpits occupied a variety of scenes, culminating in the gardener she began dating recommending a crystal deodorant that failed her during a crucial business meeting. Charlotte's sudden struggle with vertigo left her staggering all over Manhattan like a toddler on a boat. Miranda, cursed on this show like no one else, had sex with someone who turned out to be a virgin nun, accidentally flashed Carrie, became a meme after a disastrous appearance on live television, and eventually found love with a woman who's strikingly weird about her dogs, even for a Brit. And Just Like That, as Jake Nevins wrote in July, 'feels, at times, openly hostile to its own source material and even to the characters themselves.' The pie shoved in Anthony's face by his lover, Giuseppe, felt like a neat distillation of how crudely the series seemed to clown its characters, week after week after week. Earlier this year, I wrote about television's current obsession with extreme wealth, and how shows such as And Just Like That suffer from the diminished stakes that come with easy abundance. When you're insulated from calamity, maybe, the worst thing that can happen is physical degradation—a reminder that no matter how big your closet, how exclusive your couture, we all share the same basic bodily functions, which can fail and shame us in all the same discomfiting ways. Still, the casual cruelty with which And Just Like That treated its cast's bodies as punch lines and visual gags seemed to suggest a deeper unease with what it means to age—to be undeniably, messily human. The show occasionally expressed the same kind of disgust toward poverty, or toward any evidence of how rising inequality in New York has left many people to live. In the finale, Carrie visits her old apartment, now occupied by a jewelry designer named Lisette, and is horrified to see that Lisette has divided the studio into two claustrophobic spaces with a temporary wall, presumably because she can't afford roughly 600 square feet on the Upper East Side all by herself. The moment reminded me of a plotline in Season 2, in which Miranda went home with a voice actor who was her dream date, only to be repelled by the woman's cramped space: the cat-litter tray, the unmade bed. No one wants their fantasies to be punctured so abruptly, and yet both scenes demonstrate how out of touch these characters have become, and how hard it is for us to empathize with them in turn. Anthropological curiosity used to define Carrie's work as a columnist; now, in her 50s, she's happier behind the walls of an inward-facing fantasy land, posing for no one in her pre–Gilded Age living room, and turning her romantic misadventures into a god-awfully mawkish historical novel. It's not the ending I would have chosen, but it sure does make it easier to say goodbye.
