Zac Efron Parties with Nicole Kidman in Cannes
Originally posted 05/28/2012 06:00AM
Zac Efron spends most of his time barely dressed in the movie Paperboy, but he was fully clothed – and ever so dapper – when he made it out to the afterparty in celebration of his film.
The bash, hosted by Ciroc Vodka and skincare line Erno Laszlo, was also attended by costars Nicole Kidman and Matthew McConaughey, along with Kidman's hubby Keith Urban and Reese Witherspoon. And guests were treated to elegant affair, despite the gritty nature of the movie being honored.
The event was held in a white lily-filled vintage lounge on Carlton Beach in Cannes, where guests sipped vodka and noshed on "every flavor of macaroons," according to a party-goer.

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West Nuzzle on the Beach in Cannes
Originally posted 05/24/2012 10:40AM
Kim Kardashian is usually the one in the spotlight, but she played an affectionate supporting role Wednesday at the premiere of boyfriend Kanye West's experimental film in Cannes.
West, 34, and Kardashian, 31, were among the first to arrive at the tented pyramid on Palm Beach for the screening of Cruel Summer, an immersive video experience with screens on all sides of the audience. As they posed for photos, the wind caught Kardashian's hair, and West gently smoothed it back into place.
The reality star, in a glittering mini dress and black booties and with slicked-back hair, was quietly adoring of West all night, sharing moments with him and helping to welcome friends including Jay-Z. As the film wrapped, she leaned over and whispered smilingly into West's ear and heartily joined in the standing ovation he was given.
She seemed relaxed, though quiet, at the afterparty, happily nuzzling against West and letting him have his moment to shine.

Towards the end of the evening, Pitt's friend Diddy shared a celebratory drink with the actor over his engagement to Angelina Jolie, before inviting the entire party back to his yacht.

Buckets of rain and oppressive humidity weren't enough to keep John Mayer fans from celebrating Born and Raised with the musician on the eve of the record's release Monday evening in New York City.
The man of the hour – toting an umbrella – greeted fans lined up outside of Reed Space on Orchard St., where a pop-up shop featuring photography and merchandise has been assembled for the week.
Mayer – who donned a t-shirt featuring lyrics to second single "Queen of California" once he spotted it for sale inside – mingled with friends, family and industry pals before settling down in the back corner with a pile of Sharpies, ready to meet the crowd gathered outside.

He isn't able to sing live, but John Mayer can still paint a picture with words – and that's exactly what he did Wednesday evening at Electric Lady Studios in N.Y.C.
Hosting an intimate advance spin at the legendary studio, the guitarist gave fans a glimpse into the conception of Born and Raised, out May 22.
"I wrote 'Age of Worry' there, I wrote 'Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey' there, I wrote 'Born and Raised,'" Mayer explains, pointing to a couch nestled in the corner of the room.
"I've done four or five of these [listening parties] but this is definitely the most special because this is where the record was made."
