No room at the Hotel Du Cap for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie...not when Bill Clinton's in town

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may be royalty in the showbiz world, but Bill Clinton showed who's really got the power in Cannes this morning.

The former US president has completely 'taken over' the Hotel du Cap, where Brangelina normally stay when they are in the south of France.

A source said:

'There's a complete lock-down of the hotel for 36 hours. Nobody is allowed anywhere near the hotel, its restaurant or bar while Bill is there. There's even an air block to stop helicopters flying over.'

Mr Clinton is in Cannes to host an AIDS fundraiser dinner with Sharon Stone tonight, and the hotel confirmed this morning that there is a 'private party' and nobody is allowed near the hotel just for today.

Angelina and Brad have instead been forced to stay in a villa in La Napoule, and are in Cannes to promote Brad's latest flick, Inglorious Basterds, directed by Quentin Tarantino.

Last night the couple were at the film's afterparty at the Baoli Beach club.

The security for the bash was similar to that for a presidential visit - all of the Pitt/ Jolie minders are rumoured to be former CIA agents, and there were several on the roof of the venue.

Bill Clinton's saxophone auctioned at Cannes AIDS gala

Bill Clinton's celebrated saxophone goes under the hammer Thursday at a star-studded AIDS fund-raiser held each year during the Cannes film festival.

The former US president joins actress Sharon Stone to head this year's gala for the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmfAR), one of Europe's main charity events, which last year raised 10 million dollars.

Guest of honour this year will be ground-breaking DNA scientist, James Dewey Watson, the 81-year-old biochemist and 1962 Nobel Medicine prizewinner who discovered DNA structure.

Directors Quentin Tarantino and Lars Von Trier also are expected along with A-listers Michelle Yeoh, Joshua Jackson, Elizabeth Hurley, Mike Meyers, Eva Green, the designer duo Dolce & Gabban and Donatella Versace.

And singer Annie Lennox will give a special performance for the 800 VIP guests seated at tables worth 100,000 dollars apiece.

For the first time the gala will take place at the Riviera palace, the Eden Roc, at Cap d'Antibes.

I hope the tax payers are not paying for stay at the Hotel Du Cap with Sharon Stone.

Where’s Hitlery these days?

What, is Bill Clinton bringing his harem with him?

[STARWISE]

Such an obvious arrangement, huh?

[unkus]

Bill Clinton is like an old alley cat looking for something, anything in heat.

[unkus]

Why does Clinton even wear a wedding ring?

[keepitreal]

Probably Angelina told him no... then there was no room at the Hotel.

[maggief]

I thought I heard he was boinking Angie??? Perhaps that was last week.

[Secret Agent Man]

“Why does Clinton even wear a wedding ring?”

Chick magnet. Sure the hell ain’t because he takes his vows seriously.

Sharon is apparently going to get a taste of the former first pickle this weekend.

[Niuhuru]

Wouldn’t surprise me. That trollop would bonk anyone who would be able to give her some political/diplomatic cred.

[llevrok]

Clinton + Sharon = Mischief (IMHO).

[unkus]

Sharon has always had that whorish look about her.

[BluH2o]

Nearly everyone, with any Hollywood status (speaking of males), has screwed Sharon Stone. As far as Brad Pitt is concerned ... he and Angela have a mansion on the French Riviera within easy driving distance of Cannes.

[arasina]

Whatever happened to we're-all-gonna-die-from-AIDS, even monogamous heterosexual couples? Why is this such a celebrated disease? I mean, it's so cool to support AIDS research because...why? Why is that again?

[pallis]

Sharon looks like she has had a little work done. Bill looks like he could use some work.

[annieokie]

he’s beginning to look like Mr. Magoo.

[maggief]

Or pave way for a foreign adoption.
