It’s Cannes Baby!

Drawing one of Saturday's biggest crowds to the Croisette was the photo call for Austin Powers 2, The Spy Who Shagged Me. As a warm up for the night's party (the town's second hot ticket after Empire's 10th anniversary bash) Mike Myers and co-star Heather Graham appeared on a specially constructed stage outside Planet Hollywood. After a start late enough to leave the fans in a state of frenzied excitement, the mood dipped when the film's two stars appeared as themselves, waved, smiled and then disappeared. No Austin, no Felicity Shagwell but lots of free merchandising for those assembled. Brilliant.
