Day three of the Cannes Film Festival featured stars, mixed reviews, musicians, deals, and plans to save neglected films.
Key Screenings. Competition: Jane Campion's romantic drama Bright Star and Park Chan-wook's vampire drama Thirst. Un Certain Regard: Lee Daniels' drama Precious.

Celeb / Fainting Scenes. Both Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz traveled to Cannes in support of their appearances in Precious, which made pulses race and cameras click. (I must say, Mariah looks gorgeous!) One person reportedly passed out -- not at the sight of Carey or Kravitz, but during a screening of the bloody vampire flick Thirst. That's a second-hand report, by the way, from The Globe and Mail. Comedian / director Jerry Lewis, 83 years old, told reporters, "Why am I here?...
