Madonna is the Queen of Cannes

Wed, 21 May 2008 at 1:44 pm

Madonna (in Chanel) joins director husband Guy Ritchie and actress pal Sharon Stone at the premiere of her new film, I Am Because We Are, at the Palais des Festivals during the 2008 Cannes Film Festival on Wendesday in Cannes, France.

I Am Because We Are is a documentary written, narrated and produced by Madonna. This movie documents the concern over the millions of orphans in the African country of Malawi who have lost parents and siblings to HIV and AIDS, many of whom live on the streets. The film also shows the efforts with Madonna’s charitable organization Raising Malawi in helping with improving their lives and conditions.

UPDATE: OH MY, THAT DRESS IS MIGHTY SEE-THROUGH. ACK! MY EYES!

40+ pictures inside of Queen of Cannes Madonna…

Hey oy,
What’s up with you, why are you getting mad and so defensive. If you think Angelina Jolie is the Queen of Cannes, then so be it. I love Brangelina to death too. But I’m just reporting what French TV is saying. It’s not a competition. Madonna is Madonna and Angelina is Angelina. They’re both beautiful & exceptional human beings.

Variety is the spice of life. There is room for more than one Queen in the Cannes Kingdom!

She is the queen, fúck Angelina Jolie. She’s accomplished more than her.

The dress is trashy. You can see treads hanging off the bottom dress. Clean cut dress would be appropriate for a movie premier.

I’ve never commented on whether or not I think Brad is happy in his marriage by the way he looks when in public. I would not assume I could tell just by looking. Nor do I think you can assume he’s happy for the same reason. Again, I think it bears reminder…YOU DON’T KNOW THESE PEOPLE.

Pretty much the only things I have said about Jolie were things she’s said about herself. Sorry you don’t like it.

And as for “teaming up” with Nina, I don’t have time for that crap. And the time I’m spending responding to your insults is wasted. I really wish I could stop. But you’re such a bully.

I have never seen Madonna in a “clean cut dress”. If she would appear in a “safe” dress, it just wouldn’t be Madonna. She has always pushed the envelope for “shock value”.

More from French TV. A very popular show here had Madonna live just after the screening. The show was aleady ending but they still aired the interview. First time i see the show ending almost 10 minutes late…ever. And again they repeated that Madonna is the Queen of Cannes.

Omg Jolie fans are so jealous, get a life.

Madonna is the Queen period. Nobody not even Jolie will reach her status so accept the reality.

Some of you Angelina Jolie fans are so paranoid. You think anyone who is beautiful or doing charity or adopting a child or have beautiful kids are in competition with Angelina. You trash Madonna, Gwyneth, Tom Cruise or anyone you think is in competition with Brangelina. Angelina has been a superstar for 3 years. Madonna has been a superstar for more than 25 f***ing years and still going strong. She is also the most famous woman in the world and the biggest female in music in history.

That dress is nothing short of atrocious. But then, she has never had much fashion sense.

There is not much comparison between Angie and Madonna. We certainly can’t lump them together because they both adopted children from Africa!!! For the most part they are from two different industries. They will never be up for the same movie role or sing the same music. They are both popular and have their own fan bases. Madonna is almost old enough to be Angie’s mum (sorry Madonna, I’m closer to your age so I feel it, too) and therefor has a different following and has had more time to add up the accomplishments. Can’t we celebrate two great women without coming to blows ?!

The things they do have in common are that they are both “worldly” , independent, and intelligent women. Neither lives her life in private. I bet it could be done but they choose to be in the limelight. Their fans are “fanatic” and think they “know” them personally and will defend them to the bitter end. Kind of silly if you think about it. All any of us truly know about them is what they choose to tell us or what their publicity people spin for us.

I’m a fan of both Angelina and Madonna. I, for one, am thrilled that they are both there and making waves. It doesn’t have to be an either/or thing. As someone already said, they are from two different industries - Madonna = music (sorry, I know she tries to act, but no dice), Angelina = film, and they’re both excellent in what they do.

I think there is no bigger fashion icon in the world today than Madonna. Just ask Jean Paul Gautier, Dolce & Gabbana, Donatella Versace, Stella McCartney, Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Lacroix, the House of Gucci & Louie Vuitton. They not only dress her, they’re inspired by her. And that’s because Madonna doesn’t go for what is stylish and classic, She goes for what is Madonna. Edgy, sexy and strong.

I completely agree with you. I love Angelina too. But Madonna has been around for so much longer and she has really evolved as a human being. Have any of you even heard of Malawi before Madonna showed the way? Show some respect.

Madonna is gorgeous…shes pretty much worn every kind of dress you could possibly imagine from every designer, in every style, fabric and colour imaginable…this one is very couture, and glam and only Madonna could pull this off…

“Queen” is absolutely correct, since Madonna is TRANSGENDERING before our very eyes-LOL!! Must be a side effect of that Kaballah/New Age crap she embraces. Her husband looks SCARED, as he should be- RUN FOR THE HILLS, MAN! RUN FOR THE HILLS to escape this New Age He/She entity!! “She” and Jolie are nothing more than GARGOYLES in dresses- LOL!!!!

Madonna is the only modern style icon. Period.
Someone above said that she never had any fashion sense. Madonna has never needed to follow fashion. She is fashion. And that’s not my opinion so don’t give me the ‘everybody’s entitled to blah blah’ speech, it’s a historic fact. And as for Angelina Jolie, I don’t see why anybody would want to come off as stupid as comparing her social influence with Madonna’s makes them seem. Angelina has made a few respected films - or at least one, I believe (no?) - and she’s a good humanitarian but as far as legend goes, she’s invisible next to Madonna. No one should take this negatively though - few people are comparable with Madonna.

Have your idols but be sophisticated enough to recognise certain people’s social and historic importance. Maybe then you’ll understand why people go more crazy over Madonna than Angelina.
