Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was one of the big movie releases this year I was half uber-excited about, and half secretly dreading. As a big fan of the first set of movies, the prospect of a fourth, years later was a little scary.

Milan Fashion Week continued yesterday, with Cate Blanchett, Rachel Zoe, and Solange Knowles serving as a few of the stars who made the long trip to Italy for the big event. Cate showed the love for her

The Scoop on Cate Blanchett’s $11,000 Shoes! French brand Roger Vivier is known for their pricey buckled shoes, which can range anywhere from $396 for signature flats to four digits for boots.

Some folks are
already declaring "Oscar!" just based on this Spanish-language trailer for the eerie Brad Pitt-Cate Blanchett movie
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I can definitely see where they're getting that feeling, as the trailer makes it look like the film succeeds in capturing the other-worldly atmosphere of the F. Scott Fitzgerald story on which it's based.

The forecast for Cannes must have been clear, because the stars were out in all their glory showing support for their latest films.
