The most favoured stars wore Chopard, the official jeweller of Cannes Film Festival and supporter of AIDS research as amfAR is American Foundation for AIDS Research. 

You don't need to be a superstar to shine like one when wearing Chopard mega-bling but the celebrities certainly lived up to expectations when they stunned the crowd and each other with Chopard jewels that rivalled their natural glow and radiance.

The latest ball at Hotel du Cap Eden Roc near Cannes raised RM 100 million for AIDS research.

FAMOUS KISSES IN MOVIE HISTORY!

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
A KISS IS NOTHING THESE DAYS BUT IN THE EARLY DAYS A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, A KISS WAS QUITE SCANDALOUS. EVEN TODAY, INDIAN MOVIES NEVER SHOW STARS KISSING EACH OTHER PASSIONATELY ON THE LIPS.

The sight of 2 women kissing each other or worse, 2 men with locked lips was enough to cause the faint-hearted to pass out and the police to pass out the hand-cuffs.

Here are some of the most famous and notorious kisses as documented at the recent 66th Cannes Film Festival.

Mulholland Drive

The Graduate

Kenneth Cole and Kee Hua Chee. He had to run off to say goodbye to power journalist Carine Roitfeld who was leaving for Paris. Wish I was that powerful

Kenneth Cole and Kassandra Kassim, the Christine Amanpour and Oprah Winfrey of Malaysia

Arman, Dato Nancy Yeoh and Kevin Frost CEO of amfAR and former opera singer


 While known for his shoes and then clothes, accessories and lifestyle products, Kenneth Cole takes a keen interest in AIDS eradication and has been Chairman of amfAR (American Foundation for AIDS Research) since 2005.

The interview will be broadcast on ASTRO Star World channel in July or August and I will keep you guys posted.

Meanwhile, here the photos taken at Hotel du Cap Eden Roc in one of the cabanas that cost a scandalous RM 2,600 per day and you cannot even sleep in it! The cabanas are for day use for you to dip into the sea which you can do on the hotel's other beaches if you are already a hotel guest!

Kenneth Cole of course could not help but take photos of me since I was dressed to kill and thrill as usual

Kenneth Cole shows Kassandra Kassim his photos of me as I was wearing my pants with my portraits hand painted on my groin and ass

Funny izit?

One for my Leica


The interview begins in earnest

Kassandra forgot her sunnies and asked brother Kaiza to buy a pair in Eden Roc's lobby---it cost RM 1,920!


Henry Golding interviews Kenneth Cole while standing above a small cliff with Cannes and multi-million euro yachts as backdrop

Kenneth Cole looks great at 59



I was hoping they would quarrel and Kenneth Cole would push Henry Golding into the Bay of Cannes

Why Henry Golding is stretching his arm is beyond me

This is how it looked like with the cabana at right which is just a very small room for you to change into your bikini

The naive will think the guy at left is the star

Still posing akimbo

Henry Golding's shirt matches the sea

Looks like Henry is trying to intimidate Kenneth Cole




Dato Nancy Yeoh and AnnMari of amfAR

This is all you get for RM 2,600! Your room costs RM 4,000 minimum





Anyone might think Henry Golding was a puppeteer the way he was playing with his long, elegant fingers

He has long, elegant toes too as I saw the other day and you know what that means




Ng and Khalid Redzuan

Hear what they were talking about in the new Newsmakers Unplugged series on ASTRO Star World channel in August







I was too far to eavesdrop

These two were voted Most Handsome Men in Cannes

By coincidence, both were Malaysians

They look like they just stepped out of The Great Gatsby movie
