Cannes' Movers & Shakers

Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds got a rousing welcome at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday. Cheering for the film was Sharon Stone, who looked svelte in a sexy black number with matching peep-toe heels.

After staying away from the limelight as a couple for three months, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were clicked together at Cannes. Jolie, 33, who is suffering from a cold, arrived at the festival to support Pitt, 45, at the premiere of his film. 

While on the red carpet at the festival, Pitt admitted that he did not remember how he agreed to be in the film, where he plays a Nazi bounty hunter.

'Quentin came to visit. I get up the next morning and see five empty bottles of wine -- and something that resembles a smoking apparatus,' the Mirror quoted him as saying. 'I don't know what that was about and apparently, I had agreed to do this film,' he added.

As for Tarantino, he looked happy now that his film is in the running for prestigious Palme d'Or award.

Robert Pattinson made an appearance too. The actor's claim to fame is the recent teenage hit Twilight, which has been adapted from Stephanie Meyer's bestseller of the same name. Pattinson plays a vampire in the movie.

Blonde bombshell and cast member of Inglourious Basterds Diane Kruger cheered for her film too.

Socialite Paris Hilton strikes a petulant pose as she arrived for the screening of the movie.

Also spotted at the film's premiere was singer Joss Stone. There are reports that Stone will work with A R Rahman and Mick Jagger.
