Jane Fonda

On Valentine's Day, women around the world rallied, danced, protested, flash mobbed, and spoke out in a global day of action to end violence against women. The worldwide campaigns were instigated by One Billion Rising, an organization that hopes to stop abuse against women. The name refers to the one billion women who have survived abuse and the number of women the organization asks to support them. The worldwide event — called V-Day — celebrated its 15th anniversary yesterday and urges our gender to "walk out, dance, rise up, and demand an end to this violence."

Famous women like Rosario Dawson, Anne Hathaway, Thandie Newton, Marisa Tomei, Jane Fonda, and Glenn Close attended V-Day events in cities that included London, Hollywood, and New York, while women young and old took to the streets of India, China, Bangladesh, Mexico, Poland, and other countries to stand up for the cause. See the beautiful, joyous photos of this important international campaign now!

Anne Hathaway showed her support for the One Billion Rising campaign in LA yesterday with husband Adam Shulman by her side. Jane Fonda and Marisa Tomei were among the other famous faces to join the annual event, organized to help end violence against women. It was a special occasion for Anne and Adam — it was their first Valentine's Day as a married couple. They tied the knot last September.

Valentine's Day hasn't been Adam's only recent chance to show his love for Anne. He has been by his wife's side throughout her big award season, which will come to a close next Sunday night. Anne scored a best supporting actress nomination for her role in Les Misérables at Feb. 24's Oscars. It will be a big evening for her, as the film is also up for a total of eight Academy Awards.

The 2012 Cannes Film Festival opened today with the premiere of Moonrise Kingdom at the Palais des Festivals. Juror Diane Kruger was gorgeous in a pale blue gown after making an appearance this morning in a strappy Versus minidress. Eva Longoria, who is on hand with the festival's official makeup brand, L'Oréal, commanded the long red carpet in Marchesa. Jessica Chastain made her 2012 Cannes debut in white Alexander McQueen while Freida Pinto went with a pale pink strapless number. It's the beginning of more than a week of glamour in France and we're on the ground bringing you the action as it happens. Make sure to follow PopSugar on Twitter for the latest and tell us, who are you most excited to see at Cannes this year?

We explained why we love photographer and British TV personality Amanda de Cadenet and her new show The Conversation, and tonight is the second episode!

We chatted with the motorcycle-riding mom of three (who's married to a rocker, no less) about everything from sex positions to The Bachelor to the benefits of marriage, but what Amanda's really passionate about is the plight of today's women. On her new Lifetime show The Conversation, Amanda gets into some heavy topics with famous women like Jane Fonda, Kelly Preston, Zoe Saldana, Sarah Silverman, and Gwyneth Paltrow. And she couldn't help but gush about her ladies, who she says are "truly women's women," in addition to opening up about how our sex as a whole needs to start sticking together. Here's what she said:

TrèsSugar: What did you learn from doing these interviews?
Amanda de Cadenet: That women globally are addressing very similar issues in their lives, and that we're not actually that different. I've met so many good people, and that was really the overwhelming feeling: Wow, there are some good people on the planet.

TS: What part of a woman's life do you think we're most scared to talk about?
AC: I would say people have a lot of shame about their relationships. Most women who I know have stayed in a less-than ideal relationship for way too long, and they get embarrassed to say, "Yeah I'm still with this person because I just can't leave."

Or people are uncomfortable saying, "I hate the way my body looks." It's just not PC to be down on your body these days, but the truth is that most of us are. So I love that my ladies are very outspoken about their bodies and how they feel about them. There's been this kind of picture painted, a standard that's been set, by whom I don't really know, that to be a woman who's having a successful life you have to be OK with your body, be earning enough money, be in a relationship. If you're a woman of a certain age you're supposed to have children. You're supposed to be conforming to society's idea of what it means to be a successful woman. None of us are, by the way. And that's part of what The Conversation is about: Who created this notion of what it means to be a woman on the planet? Because none of us are living up to it. And the reality is what we're actually talking about on the show, which is that no one's doing it perfectly. We're all doing the best we can do. And Jane Fonda at 73 says, "I'm finally whole." Gives us all permission to be human, right?

Many stars came out to celebrate President Clinton's 65th birthday last night at The Clinton Foundation's Decade of Difference Gala at LA's Hollywood Palladium. Sticking with a blue and white theme, Jessica Alba stepped out in a sheer blouse paired with a navy skirt while Rachel Zoe wowed in a gown. Modern Family's Sofia Vergara chose a sexy, strapless LBD that complemented her fit figure. It was another date night for Jessica and her husband, Cash Warren, who dined at a table with friends Joel and Benji Madden. Rachel was also joined by her husband, Rodger Berman, but this time they left their well-dressed son, Skyler, at home. The dinner kicked off a weekend full of celebration honoring the former president's philanthropic organization. The events continue tonight with the Decade of Difference concert streaming live around the globe with performances from Usher, Lady Gaga, Kenny Chesney, Juanes and K’Naan, The Edge, and Bono.

Jane Fonda may be 73, but she's showing no signs of slowing down. The Barbarella bombshell still has it, with a new book out this month and a fit physique that could still rock a leotard. But there's a lot more to the actress than meets the eye. Jane has fought for women's rights as a feminist activist, overcome breast cancer, and been open about her struggles with body image. Jane is an honest, hard-working role model, and we aren't afraid to admit we have a lady crush on her. Check out some of the highlights of Jane's long and diverse career so far to see why!
