One of our all-time favorites, Jacqueline Bisset, walked the red carpet in Cannes to promote her new movie L’ Amant Double. She speaks fluent French and seems to do more films in France than the US these days. She was the object of many male fantasies, and through the years we documented her long-term romances, but she was never interested in marriage. “Too independent.”

Jacqueline Bisset seems perfectly cast as the wealthy elegant journalist Anne Sinclair, who was inexplicably loyal to her disgraced husband, French politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Gerard Depardieu stars as DSK, whose assault on a New York hotel maid led to revelations of numerous indiscretions and his political downfall. For now the movie is being filmed at the Manhattan Criminal Court with the working title “The June Project.” Jackie seems to understand Anne’s character because the actress once said ”I’ve probably understood men too well. I realize they are predatory by nature, and I have a certain acceptance of that fact.” Currently, Anne and her husband are separated and heading for divorce.

Gerard Depardieu and Jacqueline Bisset (whom we love) are in New York filming DSK – the story of the philandering French politician, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who violated a New York hotel maid, and this act led to a shocking collection of similar sex charges from other women. His appalling history of behavior with females destroyed his aspirations of becoming President of France. Gerard says he accepted the role because DSK is “very French, arrogant, and smug, and I don’t like him.” Jacqueline plays his American born wealthy wife Anne Sinclair, who was inexplicably supportive of her wayward husband. They have since divorced.

Even Elton John is cutting back due to the economic crisis. A few years ago he would have held his birthday party at a five star hotel or the hottest new club in town. But for his celebration this year, he rented out the Hamlet on Sunset. It’s a comfy, pleasantly old fashioned, modestly priced hamburger restaurant with a lounge. Dean Martin used to drink there. Elton attracted an eclectic crowd. Joan Collins (who owns a condo in the building next door) arrived with her husband Percy Gibson. Jackie Bisset came with an unidentified man. We always love seeing her. Sometimes RuPaul can slip by in a suit without being recognized. Here’s Chastity Bono. QVC hairdresser Nick Chavez and diet expert Nikki Haskell turned up together. It looks like Elton is getting Star Cruncher exercise equipment for his birthday.

Among the familiar faces traipsing up and down Main Street in Sundance we were delighted to find one of our alltime favorites: Jacqueline Bisset. She never complains about getting her picture taken and looks adorable.
