Now that Jessica Simpson's much-hyped acting career is lying twitching in the gutter, Jessica can now go back to her first love. No, wait - Jessica Simpson's first love is cacky reality TV shows that exploit her personal relationships with others, isn't it? OK, well in that case Jessica Simpson has gone back to her second love - music. And not just any music, either - Jessica Simpson has gone country, and she's marked the occasion with a concert at a festival in Wisconsin. But sadly, Jessica Simpson's country concert didn't go down well with the locals, who booed and jeered her for not being country enough. Now, if she'd have smashed her teeth up real bad and had sex with a blood relative beforehand, it would have been a different story altogether.

As the sun sneaks out from behind one of his many clouds, the hot weather looks like it may arrive for one of the festivals that kick starts them all.

So far it's fair to say that this year's Cannes Film Festival has been all over the shop. The bulk of the chatter has been about what Angelina Jolie is keeping in her guts and the festival's biggest two movies - Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull and Vicky Cristina Barcelona - are only gaining interest because people either like a) watching iconic action stars try to recapture past glories or b) watching Scarlett Johansson get off with Penelope Cruz. And since Sean Penn is the festival's jury president this year, everything else is probably going to be a barrage of humourless hand-wringing about starving Albanians. And if the thought of that has put you off, we've found a way to enjoy the Cannes Film Festival from home.
The Cannes Film Festival is the most famous film festival in the world, where every year a jury chooses a film that nobody has seen and says how much better it is than all the films you've seen put together.
And this year the Cannes Film Festival is going to be extra special because the head of the Cannes jury has been announced as Sean Penn. As one of the most respected actors and directors working in Hollywood today, Sean Penn's appointment will mean that the movie he awards his prize to will get an even bigger publicity boost than usual. It also means that anyone who's recently made a movie that's funny, uplifting, deft or about anything other than how terrible the Iraq war is should probably stay at home this year because they ain't winning jack.
