As the star-studded Cannes 70th anniversary gala dinner wrapped up on May 23, a mariachi band came out to play “Cielito lindo,” “México lindo y querido,” and the Spanish version of “Happy Birthday” turning this year’s Cannes Film Festival into a celebration of #MexiCannes.2017 Cannes.. Photograph by Justin Bishop. Salma Hayek wears Yves Saint Laurent and a Boucheron necklace. Francois-Henri Pinault wears Gucci.Read more in Remezcla here. In a few red-tinted videos, Salma Hayek, Guillermo del Toro, Emmanuel Lubezki, Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, and BFFs Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal can be seen gathering around Table 46 to sing along with the mariachis. They also attracted other celebrities like Isabelle Huppert and quickly became the center of attention. As they loudly sang, a larger group surrounded them and recorded them on their phones. And with GdT giving the performance of a lifetime, it’s hard to blame onlookers.

Vera
B Van Heusen
D.C.I. Vera Stanhope (Brenda Blethyn) returns to ITV this weekend in an all new episode based around the gruesome murder of a young physiotherapist. The suspects include badger hunter Robert Doran (Richard Riddell) who was in the area at the time of the killing, and Justin Bishop (Shaun Dingwall) whose wife was killed in a car accident involving the murder victim. Vera’s trusted comrade D.S Joe Ashworth (David Leon) is forced to confront some demons from his own past as the investigation evolves.
Vera is based on a series of novels by recent BestBritishTV interviewee Ann Cleeves. Her other work includes the Shetland mysteries that were recently adapted for TV by the BBC. A second season of Shetland is expected to air some time next year. The new four-part season of Vera will air on Sunday nights at 8pm beginning on 25 August.

Photo by Justin Bishop.“The window was pretty damaged,” the gruff man in the too-big suit said. He stood around with his hands in his pockets. I knew, though, that whatever he was looking for, he wasn’t going to find it in there. Back then, I knew him as Suity, named for that too-big suit. He worked as an engineer in the ABC building where Good Morning America is filmed. The studio, a glass joint on 43rd Street, rose up from the slick and concrete like a fortress of dirt and glass. Earlier that morning, Chris Brown, a troubled kid from Virginia with a gift for pop, tried to toss a chair out the window. He had run, shirtless, from the scene of the crime. He wasn’t running from that window, I thought. He was running from his past. I buttoned my coat. It was freezing even with a shirt on.

Surfer Blood lead singer, Jp Pitts. Photo by Justin Bishop. This time last year, West Palm Beach quintet Surfer Blood was making waves in New York, after they played a dozen shows at Cmj. The band members—none of whom actually surf— left Cmj with a deafening blog buzz in their wake. (For industry-types who still think Cmj has the power to catapult a band into the mainstream media, it did just that.) In the year since, Surfer Blood released its full-length debut Astrocoast to critical praise, took its reverb-soaked vibes around the world, and, most recently, signed with Warner Brothers records (for those of you that still put stock in signing to a major label). So I was interested to see how much these guys have matured over that time—they’re all of drinking age, finally—when they played to a sold-out crowd at New York City’s Webster Hall last night.

Johnny Weir looks to the future. Photograph by Justin Bishop.Earlier today, two-time Olympian Johnny Weir, 26, announced that he is taking a break from competing in the 2010-2011 skating season. “The main reason for my decision is to have more time to reinvent my skating,” he wrote in a press release. “I want to create a new skating image for myself so that when I return to competitive skating, I can perform in a way that is both unique and inspiring.” Considering that one could argue that Weir is one of the most unique skaters out there—who can forget his glove Camille, spelled with two Ls?—Vf Daily had Johnny give us a call from Japan, where he’s performing in a show and then headed to Tokyo to work on a special photo book project, to explain what exactly “reinventing himself” means.

Photograph by Justin Bishop. Lovable, quotable Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir, perhaps the only celebrity to speak favorably of Lada Gaga in the past year, has just announced that he will not participate in the 2010-2011 figure skating season. In a press release addressed to his “dearest fans,” he wrote: “The main reason for my decision is to have more time to reinvent my skating. I want to create a new skating image for myself so that when I return to competitive skating, I can perform in a way that is both unique and inspiring.” (He also mentions previous commitments involving an upcoming fashion line, a single, a reality series, and a memoir.) With a specific reference to Sochi 2014, he promises that he’ll spend his time practicing and performing. Johnny be good!

Photos by Justin Bishop. After last week’s devastating loss to the Paris Review, the Vanity Fair squad carried the burden of a 1-2 record into last night’s game against Scientific American. But the Veefers put the season’s slow start to bed with a 19-4 win on their home field in Central Park, evening their record at .500. As the score indicates, the Veefers came out of the gate swinging. Veteran Ben “Eddie Van” Kalin showed no signs of rust in his season debut, notching an Rbi in his first at bat, and the Veefers knocked in eight runs in the first two innings to Scientific American’s one. While the brunt of last night’s hitting prowess can be attributed to veteran Veefers—Justin “Arch” Bishop, Chris “Catfish” George, and Keenan “Ivory” Mayo all homered last night—it should not go unremarked upon that Mike “Coach Emeritus” Hogan...

This trio provided a few of the bright spots on a generally dismal night for the Veefers. Photographs by Justin Bishop. Some things in this world simply defy explanation: crop circles, the Bermuda triangle, Justin Bieber. But perhaps most mysterious of all is Vanity Fair’s continuing inability to beat The Paris Review in softball, a trend that continued last night as the Veefers were defeated by a score of 6-2 on their home field in Central Park. As usual, the Parisians failed to comply with the rule that each team must have at least two female players, but to blame V.F.’s loss on that would be a cop-out. The main problem is that the Veefer bats were as quiet as a Fort Lauderdale restaurant after the early-bird special. The Paris Review pitcher didn’t seem to be all that difficult to figure out, but he managed to...

But Fallon was likely referring less to square footage and more to star wattage; after all, among the many power players mingling there were broadcast journalist Barbara Walters, singer Bette Midler, CBS bigwig Les Moonves, NBC producer Lorne Michaels, business mogul Tom Freston, hair mogul Frédéric Fekkai, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, CNBC Money Honey Maria Bartiromo, fashion designers Tory Burch and Stacey Bendet, and New York Times columnist Frank Rich.

A group of passengers snickered and clapped as our Path train crossed over the Hackensack River, a few minutes west of Manhattan, on its way to Harrison, New Jersey. I looked out the window and saw the reason for their schadenfreude—gridlock traffic, with people getting out of their cars in frustration and casting looks of envy at us as our train glided by. A few minutes later Red Bull Arena came into view. “That can’t be the stadium,” I muttered to myself. It seemed too small for soccer. And the commute had been too easy and quick—I’d boarded the train at the World Trade Center stop only 20 minutes earlier.

The weather was perfect. The team’s impressive and brand new soccer-only stadium in Harrison, New Jersey, was filled to capacity. And in a friendly that opened the new stadium, the home team beat Santos, the legendary club from Brazil, 3-1. That’s not all. Earlier in the day, thanks to an ongoing labor dispute, no one was even sure there would be a Major League Soccer season this year. And with the World Cup less than three months away, that possibility seemed a bad omen for the state of soccer in America. But Mls owners and players signed an agreement at long last just five hours before kickoff, avoiding a players’ strike that might have...

Photograph by Justin Bishop. Cary Fukunaga, one of Hollywood’s most promising directors, took no short cuts. At 32, he has three degrees—one in history from U.C. Santa Cruz; one from a political institute in Grenoble, France; and one from the N.Y.U.'s graduate film program. In fact, the only nepotistic boost he’ll admit to receiving is the fact that he had a friend whose journalist father knew a professor who knew the head of Mexican state security, who in turn granted Fukunaga access to incarcerated gang members. It was through interviews with those prisoners—as well as his experience joining dozens of other stowaways atop freight trains winding their way to the U.S. border—that Fukunaga developed his script for Sin Nombre, one of our favorite movies of last year. Sin Nombre, which went on to win the best directing and cinematography awards at...

Photo by Justin Bishop. When Animal Collective announced that they would take over the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan, which would be given a makeover by longtime visual collaborator Danny Perez, a lot of people lost their shit. The event sold out so quickly that they added a matinee. The name of their piece, Transverse Temporal Gyrus, was appropriately weird for the Baltimore-bred, Brooklyn-based trio whose seminal 2009 record Merriweather Post Pavilion saw them reach a broader audience while still knocking the socks off their diehard fans. When they arrived at the Guggenheim last night, expectations were high, faces were painted, and some girl who had apparently ingested an undesirable amount of hallucinogenics had her head in her hands and was rocking back and forth in a corner on the third floor. This was neither a concert nor an art exhibition. It was a “site-specific performance” that transformed the “museum’s rotunda into a kinetic,...

After all, not only is the 22-year-old this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model but she’s also married to tennis star Andy Roddick. (One look at Decker’s ring-finger ice, big enough to sink the Titanic, and you won’t soon forget it.) Plus there’s a brain behind the bod—you should hear the North Carolina Panthers fan articulate her informed opinion on the N.F.L. playoff pool. Try as you might, however, it’s nearly impossible not to be won over. She’s just really, really nice. Which is not to say that the supermodel is superhuman. When Decker recently invited me to workout with her at the Reebok Sports Club, in New York City, I thought...

Morning Meme: Late Night Talk Show Rates, Betty White Got a Job, The Days Just Got Shorter and More.
So…the cast of Dancing With the Stars was revealed last night, and there was nothing gay or gay adjacent. In fact, I hesitate to call some of these people celebrities, since I had to look up some of the names – and I eat, sleep and breathe pop culture. We do have dueling beefcake though – Aiden Turner from All My Children vs. Jake Pavelka of the latest iteration of The Bachelor.
Late night got back to normal last night with Jay Leno at 11:35 against David Letterman, but it’s basically pointless now – Dave is commanding huge ad revenue compared to Leno now.

Hey, they deserved it: the rippers are officially off the 2010 Winter Games clock. The evening got underway early with Shaun White and his family camping out in the corner. The gold medal winner was soon shuffled off on a private plane bound for Chicago, where he taped Oprah this morning. A wall-to-wall cross-section of riders, legends (ahem, Jake Burton), industry types, and women who were determined to pose with a medal or make-out with a medalist (and some of the ladies succeeded) packed the space where celebrity D.J.

The evening was a great way to kick off Vf.com's coverage of the Olympic party scene. “It’s nice to see so many supporters of Latvia,” Zatlers told the intimate crowd gathered in front of the party room's large picture windows that overlooked the city of Vancouver sprawling behind the property’s glowing infinity pool. “I hope Latvia brings home many medals.” Or at least that’s...

To celebrate the first anniversary of the Mario Batali Foundation, and its first gift of $400,000 to neuroblastoma cancer research at Sloan-Kettering, Vf Daily sat down with the Emperor of Orange at his New York City restaurant Otto to talk gelato, sassy service staff, and the foundation’s upcoming Super Bowl brunch.

It would be hard for there not to be a blank moment between songs at an Antlers show, if only to let people weep out the pain. The band’s 2009 release Hospice is all about a terminally ill child in the hospital. Painted with foreboding keyboards, fuzzy guitars relying heavily on crescendo, and Silberman’s eerie falsetto, Hospice is, as Liberman put it when I spoke with him yesterday, “About being shut off with one person and inadvertently destroying a lot of your other relationships.” I’m not ashamed to say I wasn’t totally thrilled with The Antlers at first.

For Niall Ferguson, the Scottish-born Harvard historian who discovered the subject of finance while investigating the causes of Hitler’s rise in Germany, writing about bank balance sheets is almost a holy mission. The fate of Planet Finance, as he called it in this 2008 article for Vanity Fair, is simply too important to leave in the hands of deeply biased participants. The public must be alerted. The arcane details of high finance must be explained and exposed. A worthy goal, to be sure, but Ferguson’s fellow participants in last...

For the students in the audience, however, he has a more threatening bite. Orszag addressed a topic he recently raised on the Office of Management and Budget blog: how the financial crisis will impact the lifetime earnings of this year’s graduates. History is not reassuring: over 20 years, the wages earned by the class of 1982 (a peak unemployment year) differed from those earned by the class of 1988 (a peak employment year) by an average of $100,000.

The author with the Stanley Cup. Photograph by Justin Bishop.In the year 1100, the Holy Prepuce traveled from crusade-torn Palestine to Antwerp. The legendary relic’s visit to the Barbant miraculously spawned three bloodstains on a holy linen sheet. After a spit of great rejoicing and much hoopla, the new, big prepuce in town had its own processions, pilgrims, and even a chapel built in its sacred name. So the story goes. Fabled foreskin is one thing. Yesterday, when the Stanley Cup visited the offices of Vanity Fair, in Midtown Manhattan, the arrival bred miracles of its own. No, blood was not magically shed from thin air (though the N.H.L. tablecloth that travels with the three-feet-tall, 35-pound trophy was not entirely spot-free: perhaps some nachos or a bit of wayward cola). But a thoughtful pause—a sudden respite washed over the floor. Soon, pensive pilgrims from P.R.
