Emma Watson is always one to watch on the red carpet, and she’s proving just how impressive her style Iq is during her Beauty and the Beast promo tour. The 26-year-old actress has been stepping out wearing only ethically produced designs, something that was so important to her, she put together a PowerPoint presentation for her stylist. But she hasn’t always been so confident about her outfit choices.

Emma Watson is one of the most private actresses in Hollywood, but in light of her exciting new role in Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast, she sat down with Vanity Fair for an illuminating chat. From touching on the hardships of having a boyfriend in the public eye to the one person she needed approval from before agreeing to play a Disney princess, read on to see everything Emma revealed to the magazine. On why she has a strict "no photos" policy with fans: "For me, it's the difference between being able to have a life and not. If someone takes a photograph of me and posts it, within two seconds they've created a marker of exactly where I am within 10 meters. They can see what I'm wearing and who I'm with. I just can't give that tracking data. I'll say, 'I will sit here and answer every single...

When Emma Watson was at the peak of her Harry Potter fame, living what appeared to be the most glamorous life, she didn’t feel like herself.
“I’d walk down the red carpet and go into the bathroom,” the actress tells Vanity Fair in her March 2017 cover story interview. “I had on so much makeup and these big, fluffy, full-on dresses. I’d put my hands on the sink and look at myself in the mirror and say, ‘Who is this?’ I didn’t connect with the person who was looking back at me, and that was a very unsettling feeling.

When Tyler Perry sold his Atlanta mansion for $17.5 million earlier this month it set a record for the highest paid price ever for a private home in the Georgia capital. "I know this sounds ridiculous, but I wanted more land so I bought more land outside of the city," the 45-year-old Madea mogul told me this weekend while promoting his new movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Darkness (in theaters on June 2.) "It's the same distance to the studio as my old house, but now I can have horses and pigs and organic vegetables." That old house measures in at 34,688 square feet and sits on 17 acres. The French Provincial-style estate includes seven bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, two kitchens, an...

Tyler Perry's version of Versailles just sold for a record setting $17.5 Million ... and that was the discounted price! Tyler's Atlanta estate is a 34,688 sq. foot mansion, sitting on 17 acres, and includes such baller amenities as an infinity swimming pool, a theater and an underground ballroom. The French Provincial 7 bedroom, 9 bath (plus 5 half baths) was originally listed for $25 mil, but the eventual $17.5 million sale price is still enough to make it the most expensive home sale ever in Atlanta.

The majority of the festival's program was announced last month, but this group includes intriguing world premieres from notable directors such as Todd McCarthy ("The Cobbler") and Gina Prince-Bythewood ("Beyond the Lights").

Thérèse (Audrey Tautou) is a strong-minded French provincial woman who makes very calculated decisions. So, when she decides to marry Bernard (Gilles Lellouche), it is for purely practical purposes. Both of their families own significant acreages of pine trees. Combining their total land ownership equates to more power and influence. Besides, Thérèse does not seem to have any other marital options in this remote southwestern region of France, where thousands of acres of dense forest separate one neighbor from the next. What Thérèse does not factor into her decision to marry Bernard is her resulting loss of freedom. Even though Bernard approaches their marriage with the same nonchalance as Thérèse, he takes his role as husband much more seriously after the nuptials are exchanged. Thérèse does not recognize the suffocating severity of the situation until she witnesses how Bernard's strict Catholic family contends with an undesirable romance between Anne (Anaïs Demoustier...

Atlanta -- No presidential candidate worth his chauffeured SUV has reached his personal zenith without this: celebrities to vouch for them. They are the glam and glitter of political campaigns, sure to turn even jaded political operatives into fawning celeb watchers.
Nobody commands the nexus of stardom and politics more than President Barack Obama. Mocked by opponents during his 2008 campaign for being a celebrity himself, he draws from a broad assortment of personalities – Hollywood liberals, NBA stars and more.
Friday offered a case in point. Obama raised money in film producer Tyler Perry's sprawling southwest Atlanta studio at a gala event featuring a performance by pop star Cee Lo Green. Then he spoke to those in a more elite group, including Oprah Winfrey, at Perry's 30,000-square-foot French provincial mansion along the Chattahoochee River.

Le Point and L'Express are among the French news outlets reporting that Marie-France Pisier has died at her home in Saint Cyr sur Mer at the age of 66. First mention is generally going to her work with François Truffaut; her debut, after all, was in his Antoine and Colette, a short film that was part of the 1962 anthology Love at Twenty and she would reprise the role in Stolen Kisses (1968) and Love on the Run (1979). The film many will be thinking of today, though, is Jacques Rivette's Céline and Julie Go Boating (1974). In 1981, Julia Lesage described her role in the film's development: "Script credit is given to Juliet Berto, Dominique Labourier, Bulle Ogier, Marie-France Pisier, and Jacques Rivette…. According to Berto, she and Labourier imagined creating a combination of Persona and What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? in a film with two female protagonists. Berto said, 'Each...

French filmmaker Claude Chabrol, who helped start the New Wave movement in the 1950s, died Sunday at age 80.
Born in Paris on June 24, 1930, Chabrol became famous for his sombre portrayals of French provincial bourgeois life.
Along with Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard, he was an icon of French New Wave cinema, with all three writing for the renowned Cahiers du Cinema.
Chabrol authored dozens of films over more than 50 years, from his first work, "Le Beau Serge," made in 1958, to his last film, "Bellamy," starring Gerard Depardieu, which was released last year.

The French New Wave veteran has died aged 80. We look back over his career with a selection of clips from his films
Along with François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol ushered in the New Wave that washed over French cinema at the end of the 1950s. Like them a critic turned filmmaker, Chabrol shared their appreciation of classical genre form – to some, he appreciated it too much, exploring rather than subverting its strictures. But his prodigious output and technical mastery assure his place as one of the great figures of cinema's first century.
Born in 1930 to a middle-class family, Chabrol studied law before joining Godard, Truffaut, Eric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette in making Cahiers du Cinema, the epicentre of auteurist celebration of 'low' Hollywood. In 1957, he and Rohmer published their influential study of Hitchcock – a director who would have an enduring influence on Chabrol's work behind the camera – and,...

Toronto -- Music Box Films has snapped up U.S. rights to Fracois Ozon's "Potiche," in advance of its Monday night gala at Roy Thomson Hall.
Set in 1977 in a French provincial town and freely adapted from the 1970s French play, the movie stars Catherine Denueve as a trophy housewife who steps in to manage her wealthy husband's umbrella factory after the workers go on strike and take him hostage.
A spring release is planned.
Chicago-based Music Box has had success distributing French titles like "Tell No One" in the U.S. and is currently distributing the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" trilogy.
Wild Bunch's Carole Baraton and Music Box's managing director Edward Arentz negotiated the deal.

This set of six domestic French character posters for François Ozon's Potiche (featuring Catherine Deneuve, Gérard Depardieu, Fabrice Lucchini, Karin Viard, Jérémie Renier and Judith Godreche) sells the film as a non-highbrow comedy, and is perhaps the first indication as to why Cannes was less welcoming to include the film in their main comp. Ozon was probably amongst the first to land spots in Venice and Toronto. In 1977 in a French provincial town, Potiche is a free adaptation of the 1970s eponymous French hit comic play. Deneuve is Suzanne, a submissive, housebound ‘trophy housewife’ (or "potiche,") who steps in to manage her wealthy husband's umbrella factory after the workers go on strike and take him hostage. To everyone’s surprise, she proves herself a competent and assertive woman of action. But when her husband returns from a restful cruise in top form, things get complicated. Depardieu plays a union...

By the eighth day of Cannes folks typically begin to flag but judging from the buzz on the Croisette a sizeable number will re-boot for the Wednesday afternoon screenings of "Stones in Exile," a one-hour doc reliving the glory days of the Rolling Stones.
The exile in question, appropriately enough, was right here on the French Riviera since the band members had to leave England right after the swinging '60s in order to avoid taxes. They set up shop on the Mediterranean coast, lived a version of the French provincial life (plus sex, drugs and rock-'n-roll) for several years in the early 1970s, and produced one of their best albums, "Exile on Main Street," in the offing.
The doc culls from 40 hours of musty outtakes shot by American docmeister Robert Frank for his own opus (the banned but bootlegged "Cocksucker Blues"), hidden in vaults for almost 40 years, as well...
