“I’m gonna see if this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for,” Demi said to the sound of loud chatter in the audience. “I’m just making sure you’re really, really with me because this incredible woman that I’m about to introduce, she’s a Grammy winner, an Oscar winner, an Emmy winner… Are you an Emmy winner over there in the back of the room?” she said. “I fucking don’t think so.”

"Travis Scott and Tyga attended Richie Akiva's amfAR afterparty as guests of Richie," an eyewitness claimed to Entertainment Tonight. "At one point in the evening, both artists were on stage, behind the DJ booth, when Richie announced them both on stage alongside Alexander Edwards, and others. Right after that announcement, Travis immediately snatched the mic out of Richie’s hand, and said, 'No, we're not doing this.' Alexander said, 'Let him show love.'" The altercation reportedly took place shortly thereafter and also involved producer Southside.
6.Cate Blanchett drew some chatter for referring to herself as "middle class" during a press junket:
"I’m white, I’m privileged, I’m middle class, and I think one can be accused of having a bit of a white savior complex," she said during a press conference for filmmaker Guy Maddin's latest Rumours. (There is some debate as to what "middle class" means in this regard; it certainly seems a bit complicated.)
7.A fan was way too aggressive while trying to get Anya Taylor-Joy's autograph:
8.And Shia LaBeouf and James Franco shopped new films and made public appearances amidst France's own MeToo movement in the country's film industry:

Last year it was Johnny Depp, this year it’s James Franco and Shia Labeouf. Why is Cannes so obsessed with redeeming men accused of abuse and sexual assault? https://t.co/pSGgq2AP61
