CANNES
Over the 60 years of Cannes, the festival has had many iconic moments. From Brigitte Bardot posing on the beach in a bikini and Madonna slowly making her way to to the Palais in Galtier lingerie for a screening of "Truth or Dare" amidst a throng of fans, to rows of Stormtroopers lining the famous red steps for the world premiere of the final "Star Wars" film. Add to the list the sight of Irish rock band U2 performing live on the red carpet in Cannes earlier this week. Equipment was set up at the top of the stairs and after midnight a DJ began playing U2 songs as the crowd just got bigger and bigger. The band performed "Vertigo" and "Where the Streets Have No Name" before walking into the Lumiere theater for their 1 a.m. world premiere of "U2 3D" (by Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington), but not before Bono could salute the festival, "Bon anniversaire, Cannes!" he yelled. Here, Bono waives to fans as he gets into his car at the Majestic Hotel before the big night.
