Celeb Sightings: Gregg Araki and his clan explode -- or Kaboom -- into Cannes, while Monia Chokri (of Days of Darkness and current fest flick Heartbeats) treats the cameras to some tongue. The Examiner shares the super-exciting fashion hits and misses, which continue as JustJared shares peeks of Camilla Belle, Jennifer Hudson, Kate Beckinsale, and Salma Hayek. Hudson also appeared alongside Terrence Howard for a photo call for the upcoming Winnie. But it's not just lookers drawing the big fest crowds -- Woody Allen descended upon the red carpet and inspired a mob scene.

Off the red carpet, TheWrap reports that filmmakers at the fest are at a loss for words when asked about the new allegations thrown at Roman Polanski. If you haven't heard, British actress Charlotte Lewis has come forward and stated that Polanski molested her when she was 16. Why now? She says it's because of those who believe he is a one-time offender.

Reviews from Cannes: After the Happy-Go-Lucky life of Polly, Mike Leigh is back with Another Year, which Variety says "is almost about nothing at all and yet it gently juxtaposes the big issues of everyday life: loneliness and love, selfishness and kindness, birth and death."

His last flick, Whatever Works, wasn't all that great, but the Guardian calls Woody Allen's You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger "an elegant return to form." Then again, EW calls it a bore (though they do dig Another Year).

In more indie news, Twitch caught Im Sangsoo's The Housemaid and raved:"Directed with the same icy precision displayed by the coldly amoral family at its center, The Housemaid is an entirely grown-up thriller -- one driven by lust, boredom, and not particularly subtle manipulation."

indieWIRE Love: The site offers up Day 4 of the festival while also sharing some chats with two of the big films making buzz this weekend. "One must have delusions to live," Woody Allen tells the folks as he discusses his new film, and Gregg Araki discusses European audiences and the supernatural element of Kaboom.

Tweets, Blurbs, and Other Buzz:

At the top of the heap: Shia LaBeouf isn't only making statements about Transformers during his rounds at Cannes. He was last at the festival for Indiana Jones, and he says both he and Harrison Ford weren't happy with it. Too bad they didn't just scrap it.

Speaking of disappointments: In town for his stints in Wall Street and You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, Josh Brolin talks about the low point in his career when he thought about leaving the biz. ...because of that easy-to-forget Mod Squad, perchance?

James Rocchi caught Araki's Kaboom. He tweeted: "Kaboom:Araki's mockery of everything (incl. his early work) plays as sexed-up shiny-colored collegiate-conspiracy CW-on-LSD freakout."

Deadline reports that The Santana Brothers are returning to the big screen with two projects, both slated to film this fall. Ralph Fiennes and Olga Kurylenko will star in the romantic drama Coronet while Damian Lewis leads Man is Wolf to Man.

Finally, Guardian offers a discussion between a critic and filmmaker about the lack of any female directors competing at Cannes this year.
