A Classy Kristen Stewart Flips The Bird At | On The Road | Photocall In Cannes

Kristen Stewart doesn't always like to follow the rules of Hollywood, which include politely giving interviews and posing for photos for the press. Yesterday in Cannes she gave the middle finger to booing photographers after she refused to pose alone for them following the "On The Road" photocall.

She's shown this rebel side before - most recently on the U.K. red carpet for "Snow White and the Huntsman" last week.

It can't be easy being a celebrity and getting so much attention, particularly if you're a castmember of the immensely popular "Twilight" franchise. But it's part of the job to pose at official events. And it doesn't hurt to fake it for the press (even if you're not in the mood for photographs).

Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria Christens Baby Estelle

Queen Elizabeth II isn't the only female monarch in Europe celebrating milestones this year. Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria and her husband of two years — her former personal trainer Daniel Westling — welcomed a baby girl in February, and today she and the rest of the Swedish royal family attended baby Princess Estelle's christening at the royal chapel in Stockholm.

Princess Estelle is second in line to the Swedish throne after her mother, thanks to the succession law that was changed in 1980 to allow the eldest heir to inherit the throne, even if the firstborn is a woman. Currently, Princess Victoria is the world's only female heir apparent, but if Prince William and Kate Middleton have a daughter, she may follow in Princess Victoria's footsteps

Will Smith Slaps Kiss-Happy Reporter at Moscow Premiere of 'Men in Black 3'

The star grows enraged and fights back after a man showers him with affection on the red carpet.

A Ukrainian reporter got a little too jiggy with Will Smith at the Moscow premiere for Men in Black 3 -- earning a shove and light slap from the angry movie star, clearly annoyed at having a strange man kiss him repeatedly on the face.

The footage, obtained by TMZ, shows Smith in his typical good spirits making his way down the red carpet, openly accepting an embrace from the reporter. But things grow quickly tense as the man, wearing a white blazer, plants two kisses on either side of Smith's face, during which the two men's mouths come in close contact. "What the hell is your problem, buddy?!" Smith says as he pushes the reporter away, then back-hand slaps him on the cheek. Moments later, a slightly shaken Smith is heard to say, "He's lucky I didn't sucker-punch him."

A Red Hot Charlize Theron & Black & Blue Kristen Stewart Attend 'Snow White' Madrid Photocall

Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart thrilled fans at the photocall for "Snow White and the Huntsman" in Madrid, Spain, today. Charlize wore a simple red dress, while Kristen opted for a short black and blue striped one.

Although the pair play enemies on the big screen, they've looked like the best of pals on their various red carpet appearances promoting the film.

In the film, the Queen (Theron) learns that Snow White (Stewart) will soon surpass her in beauty. The Queen seeks to become immortal by eating the young girl's heart. The only one capable of finding Snow White is The Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) - and he will be killed if he doesn't.

'American Idol': Phillip And Joshua Are The Standouts Of The Final Three

Finally, the producers find a way to fill time that’s actually worth mentioning. Traditionally, we’ve saved the big homecoming clip packages for the final three results show, but with two hours to fill (instead of the typical 90 minutes) the producers shrewdly moved those fun packages to the performance show.

I think this worked a lot better because there’s always some sadness, some trepidation, some fear on the results show since somebody is about to get voted off. It’s hard to get in the full celebratory mode of these packages. They just work better on the fun performance show where everybody is having a good time.

Kristen Stewart: My Life Is Pretty Easy

The previews for the upcoming film "Snow White and the Huntsman" show a world that's much darker than Disney's 1937 animated classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." There's no sign of singing dwarfs, and especially no prim princess wearing a sweet little frock. This Snow White gallops on horses while wearing armor, and if she has to wear a dress, it's going to be dark. So as director Rupert Sanders explains, one young actress, known for her slightly rebellious attitude, was a perfect fit for the role: "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart. "[This Snow White's] not a damsel in distress relying on the handsome prince to save her," Sanders reveals to Elle in a new interview with Stewart, 22. "She's someone who bonds the men together to reclaim the kingdom. And Kristen was exactly what she personified: tough, independent, resilient."
Stewart, who's also fiercely private, particularly about her romantic relationship with "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson, has been acting for more than a decade. Audiences first took notice of her in 2002's "The Panic Room," where she played Jodie Foster's daughter. And

Cannes Preview: Spotlight Set For Big Stars And Great Films

Despite my extensive coverage of Sundance, South by Southwest and Toronto International film festivals, I can’t quite afford to go to Cannes, France. I’ll have to watch the Cannes Film Festival from afar, but here are some things I know to expect from May 16 to May 27.

The international competition often leads to big Hollywood releases. Major films in competition include David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis starring Robert Pattinson, Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom starring Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton and Edward Norton, Lee Daniels’ The Paperboy starring Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey and John Cusack.

Howard Stern's Best Quotes From 'America's Got Talent' Premiere

Howard Stern more or less behaved himself last night on America's Got Talent, but that doesn't mean he was boring. Here are some of his best quotes from the show.

Stern first asked the audience if they thought he would last on the family-friendly show. "These executives at NBC must be out of their mind taking a risk on me... I say I won't make it through the first show -- what do you think?" He asked as he looked at the crowd, to cheers.

Howard has some glowing remarks for a few acts. He told a group using glowing costumes to simulate prehistoric life, "We are the greatest country in the world. You are everything that makes America great." He then told a unique harpist, "I made my career out of originality - I bow down to you."

After a magician wore little in terms of clothing, Stern was quick to quip, "As a stripper, you can't have man-boobs," or a "rather small package." That's about as naughty Stern got, but not his meanest.

Kristen Stewart Makes a Stop in Berlin on the Road to Cannes

Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron touched down in Berlin today following a brief stay in the UK. The ladies premiered their action-packed fairy tale, Snow White and the Huntsman, in front of a London crowd. Charlize and Kristen were also joined by their leading men, Chris Hemsworth and Sam Claflin, on the red carpet, but it wasn't until after hours that Kristen was able to relax with boyfriend Robert Pattinson. Rob turned 26 over the weekend, and the pair celebrated the milestone at a private party with friends Sienna Miller and Hugh Jackman.

For now, Kristen's focusing on her Snow White film, but soon she'll shift gears to promote another highly anticipated project. Kristen's among the many stars headed to the Cannes Film Festival to showcase their latest work. She's expected to attend the worldwide premiere of On the Road with costars Kirsten Dunst, Tom Sturridge, and Garrett Hedlund. Robert's also planning a trip to the French Riviera for the debut of his dramatic thriller Cosmopolis, though we'll have to wait and see if either actor goes home with the Palme d'Or, the festival's highest honor.
