Cannes Is Sooo It This Year

Cannes is the place to be this summer.

Not only is the world-famous Nikki Beach celebrating its 10th anniversary at its outpost in the French Riviera (flip to page 75 of the latest Miami Living magazine), the annual film festival is hosting a beyond-swank-and-special fundraiser to benefit three celebrity-led Haiti charities.

That’s Sean Penn’s J/P HRO, director Paul Haggis’ Artists for Peace and Justice (Haggis is pictured here, in the shorts, in Haiti in April 2010, with Olivia Wilde, Penn, Susan Sarandon, Demi Moore, and Gerard Butler), and Petra Nemcova’s Happy Hearts Fund, to be precise.

Haiti: Carnival in Cannes will center on a gala fundraising dinner on May 18 at the Festival Agora benefitting all three outfits. It sounds like it’s gon’ be quite the affair....

Be there if you can, people!
