Cannes is ready for its close-up. The 61st International Film Festival kicks off today and the celebs are pouring in to the French town for all the film-biz fabulousness—including jury member Natalie Portman, who looks like a kid arriving at camp. (The 26-year-old could make a killing endorsing antiaging products, um, if she wasn't so successful at this acting thing.)

Also milling around today are Sean Penn, who heads up the jury panel, Jack Black, promoting Kung Fu Panda, and Julianne Moore, who opened the film fest with her newest movie, Blindness.

And we love 'em all, but we're busy scanning the crowds for Brangelina, who we're assuming will show based on the simple fact that they already live in France. (Hey, it's just a limo ride away.) Plus, she has two movies playing in the festival, Kung Fu Panda and Clint Eastwood's Changeling. Seems like a sure thing, n'est-ce pas?
