The Cannes Film Festival had its first red carpet this evening, with celebrities heading out for the gala premiere of Robin Hood and an official dinner afterwards. The movie's stars, Cate Blanchett and Russell Crowe, were together again following their photo call earlier in the day. Cate turned heads in her voluminous Alexander McQueen gown, while Russell stayed close to his wife Danielle Spencer. Member of the jury Kate Beckinsale also decided to go big with her pouffy Marchesa.

Eva Longoria changed out of her own casual wear from the afternoon to hit the carpet with fellow L'Oreal model Aishwarya Rai. Salma Hayek was in a maroon Gucci number with her husband Francois-Henri Pinault, and Helen Mirren stepped out in demure black to join in on the fun. Other jurors like Tim Burton and Gael Garcia Bernal, meanwhile, kept an eye on things in their tuxes. This is just the beginning of the star-studded French festival, so make sure to stay tuned for more updates as they happen!

The Cannes Film Festival kicked off this morning in France, with the jurors stepping out for their very first photo call! Kate Beckinsale was in a structured purple dress to join fellow panelist Benicio Del Toro, who was freshly shaved to pose in front of the cameras. Tim Burton presided over the scene as part of his duties as president of this year's festivities. The trio officially opened the star-studded annual event — take a look at highlights from the past!

Cate Blanchett and Russell Crowe were also there to support their film Robin Hood, which has the honor of opening the festival — who do you think was the hottest leading man to tackle the iconic role? Russell brought his sons Charlie and Tennyson along to take in the glamour of the event, while Cate upped the style stakes in her white Armani Prive two-piece. Eva Longoria, meanwhile, attracted some attention of her own arriving at her hotel this afternoon. She was one of the many celebrities to make the rounds in 2009, when she was among the first to arrive then too. Stay tuned for lots more photos and news from Cannes as the proceedings get into full swing!

Johnny Depp arrived at Tokyo's Narita airport this morning to a terminal full of waving fans, and he was soon off for an Alice in Wonderland photo call and premiere with Tim Burton. Johnny shared a little about his role of the Mad Hatter, saying, "I do like hats. . . There was a certain elegance to the past times that I have appreciation for." Their film comes out in Japan on April 17, while it just achieved a third consecutive weekend at the top of the US box office. Johnny's been working nonstop lately between his promotional duties and filming The Tourist in Venice. His costar Angelina Jolie stayed back in Italy to sightsee with her children and even enjoy a playdate with Johnny's children, Jack and Lily-Rose.

I've already shared with you my recent chats with Alice in Wonderland stars Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter, along with Alice herself, Mia Wasikowska, but there are two actors who you may not recognize in the film: Matt Lucas and Michael Sheen. In the film, Lucas pulls off the dual role of Tweedledum and Tweedledee, while Sheen lends his voice to the White Rabbit. You've probably seen Sheen most recently in New Moon (which I, of course, had to name drop), but I also asked the guys about the mysterious man that is Tim Burton.

Towards the opening of Alice in Wonderland, a young Alice lays in bed as her father leans in to tell her a secret. She's been having odd dreams about a rabbit in a waistcoat, and questions if she's losing her mind. He responds by telling her that crazy people are the best kind. I'd venture even further: in this film, crazy is king.

Alice in Wonderland feels like a story that's tailor-made for Tim Burton's directorial touch. Where else can you shrink ten sizes smaller with just a sip of a drink? In this new re-telling, a now 19-year old Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is about to be engaged against her wishes. That is, until she spies her old furry friend the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen).

Chasing after him, she once again ventures into the world known as Underland (which she once fondly referred to as "Wonderland" in childhood). Seeing the new landscape, we immediately empathize with Alice's mix-up. This land is not the Disney-riffic place that many of us think of, but a bleaker setting where the Mad Hatter's tea party is in the middle of a wasteland and lopped-off heads float in a moat around the Red Queen's castle.

It should go without saying then, that this film is not for tiny tykes. Older children and adults, however, may find stuff to like — particularly the performances. For more on those, read more
