Highlights

  • In Cannes, Hollywood star Nicole Kidman was greeted by carping about her film Grace of Monaco and finger-pointing to her oddly puffy face at a photocall. But she wasn't going to let the haters stop her having a good time at the opening ceremony.
  • The Australian star was asked for a dance by Master of Ceremonies Lambert Wilson and, dressed in bejeweled blue Armani, Nicole danced an impromptu salsa with the French actor.
  • It all started when Lambert Wilson, who appeared in the last two Matrix films, called the Moulin Rouge star 'Princess Nicole' in his opening speech and described dancing with her at a party years ago. "Was it a dream?" he asked the assembled audience, answering his own question with: "There's one way to find out."
  • Off the stage he went and up to Nicole, who was seated just three chairs away from YRF Entertainment chief Uday Chopra, producer of Grace of Monaco.
  • There's really no better antidote than critics panning your movie than being swept away and twirled around by a dreamy Frenchman. Everyone cheered and clapped.
  • It turns out that Nicole's jewel-encrusted gown was the perfect dance dress, catching the light as she shimmied.
