Jane Fonda had a moment with a Hollywood director at Cannes. The internet was all ablaze with praise for the actress as she flung an award certificate at director Justine Triet. Praising her for her “aiming skills”, the internet called her a “queen” among other things. For the unversed, Jane Fonda presented the Palme d'Or award to French director Justine Triet for her thriller Anatomy of the Fall but she forgot to take the certificate with her as she stepped down from the stage.&nbsp;

<h2>What went down at the Cannes stage</h2>

At first, Jane tried getting the director’s attention but when she failed, she flung the certificate at her when she was walking away. The scroll hit Justine Triet’s back of the head and it fell on the floor.

Jane, at the podium, reflected on the times when she first came to Cannes in 1963. "The last time I came (to the festival) was 1963, a lot of you weren't even born yet... There were no women directors competing at that time and it never occurred to us there was something wrong with that... We have progressed, but we have a long way to go. We have to celebrate change when it happens. This year is the first time there are seven women directors in competition," she said.&nbsp;

<h2>Justine Triet wins top prize at Cannes</h2>

Justine Triet is the third woman to win the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival. In her speech, Triet said, "This year, our country has experienced a historic dispute... This dispute was denied and suppressed in a shocking manner, and this pattern of increasingly uninhibited dominating power is breaking out in several areas; obviously socially is where it is the most shocking, but we also see it in all spheres of society, and the cinema is no exception. The commodification of culture that the neo-liberal government is defending is breaking the French cultural exception. I dedicate this prize to all young female and male directors and to those who today are unable to make films. We see ourselves making room for them, this place that I took 15 years ago in a world that was a little less hostile which still considered it possible to make mistakes and start over.”

Bollywood actor Parineeti Chopra and politician Raghav Chadha are reportedly busy with their wedding preparations. According to several reports, the duo were earlier spotted in Rajasthan, finalising the location of their wedding.&nbsp;

After zeroing in on some locations in Udaipur, Parineeti was then seen in Jaipur. Reportedly, the duo like a fort in Jaipur which reeks of history. It’s a 230-year-old fort that could serve as their dream wedding destination.&nbsp;

Families of both Parineeti and Raghav have been busy with preparations ever since the duo got engaged in Delhi. According to sources, wedding functions can be held in Jaipur as well as in Delhi and Mumbai.<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/parineeti-chopra-and-raghav-chadha-how-they-met-fell-in-love-and-are-set-to-wed-592569">&nbsp;Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha: How they met, fell in love and are set to wed</a>

After breakfast at Rajvilas Hotel in Jaipur, they left for Bishangarh Fort. Apart from this, both will also visit heritage and luxury hotels of Jaipur.&nbsp;

Also known as Alila Fort, it shows the influence of Mughal and British architectural styles.

Imagine Robert Downey Jr as Captain America or Flash. Marvel Cinematic Universe director Jon Favreau revealed recently that the actor was initially considered for another superhero project before being roped in for playing Tony Stark.&nbsp;

Jon Favreau discussed Iron Man’s arc as Robert Downey Jr has been loved and praised for his iconic role in the hit franchise. To celebrate the 15th anniversary of Iron Man, which kicked off Phase One of the MCU in 2008, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and Jon Favreau sat down to look back on how the film became such a huge deal and one of the most-loved films from the MCU.&nbsp;

Jon Favreau said, “I remember you had all met with him [Downey] already for like Doctor Doom or something on another project. I think he had come through like maybe Fantastic Four, so everybody sort of knew who he was.”

Jon Favreau didn’t confirm exactly when Robert Downey didn’t go through for a role in Tom Story’s 2005 film. At the time, Fantastic Four were owned by 20th Century Fox until Disney acquired the studio in 2019. He was called in for an audition for the film when they saw a “spark in him” for the Iron Man role. “Once it was him, that’s when my life got a lot easier because he understood the voice of the character. And then one by one, people were just signing on board because now it became something interesting.”

Kevin said, “I remember on later movies – we’ll talk about them on the 15th anniversary of those – there were dark days. I would say to Robert, ‘We wouldn’t be in this mess if it wasn’t for you,’ meaning we wouldn’t have a studio if it wasn’t for him. Or you [Favreau].”

If there was one film that has hogged the limelight this week, earning critical praise for the story and stellar acting, it has to be Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai starring Manoj Bajpayee in the leading role as a lawyer who is out there to prove his point.

Speaking to WION, Suparn S Varma, creative producer for Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai opened up on the huge response to his film. On how the film breaks out from the shackles of Bollywood’s idea of commercial cinema, Suparn said, “At the end of the day, all cinemas are commercial cinemas because it’s business, money is involved, and everybody is getting paid. But I understand the construct of it whereby we have managed to tell a story without any draping because we have been true to the story and to the genre of the story we are trying to tell.”

Hello Barbie, let’s go party or not! Warner Bros. dropped a brand new trailer for its upcoming film Barbie, starring Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie in the leading roles of Ken and Barbie. While the film’s plot has been kept under wraps until now, the trailer teases what Greta Gerwig’s recent film is all about.&nbsp;

Bored of their Barbieland where all girls are Barbies and all boys are Ken, Margot and Ryan’s characters, leave their wonderland and venture beyond the borders of their home – only to get a shock of their lives. Margot punches a man who slaps her butt on Venice beach and she and Ken then end up in jail as they get some LAPD mugshots. Up for release on July 21, the&nbsp;Barbie trailer shows how people react to an actual Barbie walking on their streets while Barbie can’t believe how people beyond the borders of Barbieland live.&nbsp;

Speaking to Jimmy Fallon last year when the first set of pictures from the film’s set went viral, Margot Robbie said, “I can’t tell you how mortified we were, by the way. We look like we’re like laughing and having fun, but we’re dying on the inside. Dying. I was like, this is the most humiliating moment of my life”

“I knew that we had some exteriors to shoot in L.A. I knew once you were doing exteriors, you’re gonna get papped. There’s probably going to be a little crowd of people who are going to take notice because, you know, we stand out a little bit in those outfits. So I knew there was going to be a little bit of attention, and probably some photos would get out there, but not like it did,” added Robbie.

Barbie trailer out: Ryan Gosling, Margot Robbie's film looks extremely promising

Everyone is now keen on knowing her story after she’s no more. Iconic singer Tina Turner passed away yesterday. Post her death, within no time, her candid memoir titled I, Tina, has topped the bestseller list in the US. Tina Turner co-wrote the memoir with MTV’s Kurt Loder. Tina Turner died&nbsp;at the age of 83 after enjoying a super glamorous and successful life.&nbsp;

Back when it was released, the memoir was a bestselling book in 1986. It reached the top of the bestselling list soon after her death. The book has quite a history as it served as the basis for the 1993 biopic What’s Love Got to Do With It. The memoir not only looks at how she rose to fame, hailing from a humble background but also lists her hit songs and her abusive relationship with Ike Turner.&nbsp;

<h2>Tina Turner: Fame amid personal struggles</h2>

Tina Turner picked herself up after breaking up with Ike in 1978. She turned herself around and returned to prominence in the music business as a solo artist. In 2020, at the age of 80, Turner returned to the page with another memoir in which she explores spirituality and her <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/how-buddhism-helped-tina-turner-walk-out-of-abusive-marriage-596387">Buddhist practice </a>and how they helped her overcome loss, negativity and domestic abuse. Titled Happiness Becomes You: A Guide to Changing Your Life for Good, the book has also become a No. 1 bestseller since Turner’s death.

Tina Turner was often known as the Queen of Rock 'n' roll and was instrumental in heralding R&amp;B as a genre in music.
