Cannes Latest

This year, we're reporting live from Cannes with Calvin Klein Euphoria to tell you what it's really like at the most fashionable film festival of the year. 

Day Three
The festival is barely underway but alas, our final day in Cannes has arrived. And with it, the sun. Bloody typical. However, in the last 24 hours, we have achieved many fabulous things: we have danced with Cara Delevingne, chatted to Carey Mulligan about her mum and ordered room service in the Hotel Martinez at rougly 3.30am. 

After chatting to CK One Insider Bip Ling about all things make-up, and being made-over by make-up genius, CK Color head make-up artist Hung Vanngo, we headed out for some red carpet action.

All dressed up and positioned on the Calvin Klein black carpet, ready to talk to the stars... Pretty chic, non? Seriously, non. It was blowing a gale and pouring with rain. But while Nicole Kidman didn't want to stick around to chat (very sensible,) Carey Mulligan, Rooney Mara and Naomie Harris all braved the rain to talk to us about women in film.

We'll be posting videos oh-so-soon so stay tuned to hear all about the three beautys' female inspirations. 

After two hours on the not-so-glamorous but still super-stylish CK black carpet, we were ready for a glass or three of champagne. Now off-duty, we could enjoy one of the famous Cannes parties. So imagine our joy when we were joined on the dance floor by none other than Cara Delevingne, looking super-stylish in a sequined black tux with a towering quiff. We can confirm - this girl looks even more beautiful in real life. And she's one of the most down-to-earth celebs we've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She was happy to chat, dance and take photos with anyone that approached her. With Rita not in town, perhaps she was in search of a new wifey? We were happy to volunteer. She told us about her aspirations to act and to sing, hinting that she might move on from modelling in the not-too-distant future. Before she retires though, she agreed to strike a pose with us. Profile picture = sorted.

After a late-night croque-monsieur (when in France...) in our room at about 4am, we called it a night - waking this morning to find the sun shining for our last few Cannes hours. We'll sign off now to go for a final stroll down the sunny Promenade de la Croisette.

Oh sod it, it's bucketing down again. Marvellous. 

Day Two
Our mission this morning: to find out how the other half live. (Leo is still a no-show in our lives, by the way, NOT THAT WE CARE). A stroll down Boulevard de la Croisette (in the drizzle) takes us to the festival proper, where a grand, red-carpeted staircase leads to one of the screens. Last night it was filled with stars headed to get a first peek at The Great Gatsby (if they hadn't already caught a showing following its earlier US release, that is). This morning, the only celebrity in sight is Pudsey the dog, of BGT fame, who's being carried around in what we can only describe as a doggy Popemobile. 

Now on to the yachts - despite walking very slowly up and down the various jetties, no yacht-party invitations were forthcoming. The sun does make an appearance, however, and suddenly it's clear what makes Cannes just so fabulous: the warm Rivierra sunshine and the clear blue sea. C'est magnifique.  A spot of lunch with a glass of white goes from tres bien to parfait when The Lumineers strike up a song right next to us. You can hear six seconds of their song on repeat in our Vine post.

(We think you'll agree, we chose the best six seconds).

Alas, it's now back to work we go: tonight we'll be interviewing the likes of Carey Mulligan, Nicole Kidman and Naomie Harris at the Calvin Klein Euphoria/ Independent Film Project party to celebrate women in film, hosted by Francisco Costa, creative director of Calvin Klein. It's a hard life.

DAY ONE
Let's just get this out of the way first off: we haven't seen Leo yet. It's the opening day of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and Leonardo DiCaprio is definitely in town (this picture was taken of him here - although it doesn't appear to be pouring with rain or blowing a gale force wind, which I can assure you, it is). But, this picture aside, we have yet to clap eyes on Jay Gatsby, the man of the hour, the man everyone in town is talking about. 

But aside from the Leo no-show, it's been pretty fabulous so far. On our plane out here were Naomie Harris and Rooney Mara (not bad flying companions). There was also a fluffy white Shih Tzu puppy who had his own seat.  On arrival at the Hotel Martinez, we were met with about 100 celeb spotters who, as you can imagine, were pretty excited when our car pulled up and we climbed out. Or not. They did get more excited, however, by Cara Delevingne, who arrived at our hotel just a few minutes after we did. 

Here's the moment we pulled up at the hotel...

This evening we spotted the likes of Julianne Moore and Fan Bing Bing headed to an opening night party, while we sipped champagne in the hotel bar trying to pluck up the courage to head out into the downpour. Let us tell you: Cannes in the rain is pretty much the same as anywhere else in the rain - people running around bumping umbrellas and trying to find anywhere to eat/get out of the rain/curl up and cry. There will be no yacht-hopping for us while this weather continues, so while we sit out the storm in the comfort of our hotel room, this is the closest we'll be getting to Leo...

Latest Edition of Psychiatry's 'Bible' Launched Amid Controversy

Authors say it defines disorders more concisely; critics say it will lead to over-diagnosis and unnecessary treatments

By Dennis Thompson

HealthDay Reporter

FRIDAY, May 17 (HealthDay News) -- As the American Psychiatric Association unveils the latest edition of what is considered the "bible" of modern psychiatry this weekend, the uproar over its many changes continues.

"This is unprecedented, the amount of commentary and debate and criticism," said Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, president-elect of the American Psychiatric Association (APA). "It's been an interesting phenomenon, but the evidence is what it is. You have to evaluate it and then make your own determination of how compelling it is, and what would be best clinical practice."

The APA believes that changes made in this fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) will allow for more precise diagnoses of mental illnesses in patients, because this edition better characterizes and categorizes disorders.

But it has drawn fire from critics who are concerned that the revised version will lead to the diagnosis of mental illness in people who are simply being challenged by life.

More than 1,500 experts from 39 countries representing a wide variety of medical fields contributed to the new DSM-5, which was more than a decade in the making. Drafts of the manual were made available online as part of three open-comment periods that drew more than 13,000 responses.

One of the most notable naysayers has been Dr. Allen Frances, chairman of the task force that created the DSM-4, the previous version of the guide that has been in use since 1994.

In a commentary released the day of the DSM-5's release, Frances wrote that this latest revision introduces "several high-prevalence diagnoses at the fuzzy boundary with normality," and predicted that the changes "will probably lead to substantial false-positive rates and unnecessary treatment."

"In DSM-5, normal grief becomes a major depressive disorder, temper tantrums become disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, worrying about medical illness becomes somatic symptom disorder, gluttony becomes binge eating disorder and almost everyone will soon qualify for attention-deficit disorder," Frances said in an interview.

The main points of contention regarding the DSM-5 include:

The combination of a number of autism-related disorders into a single category called autism spectrum disorder. Although some clinicians believe that placing autism on a continuum from mild to severe will allow for more accurate diagnoses, others are concerned that high-functioning people with autism will find themselves unable to receive services or treatment. This is particularly true of people with Asperger's Syndrome, a diagnosis that has been eliminated from the DSM-5, critics of the new version contend.

"We're concerned that people who have Asperger's -- who have high-functioning autism -- are going to be dismissed as just being different when the majority of adults with Asperger's will need people to assist them in parts of their lives," said Karen Rodman, president and founder of Families of Adults Affected With Asperger's Syndrome.

"We are very concerned that medicine is going to drop the ball again, and the children who need services won't get them," Rodman said. "Fortunately, clinicians and physicians and the public around the world are still going to refer to Asperger's as Asperger's. It's like saying people don't have a right arm anymore.

"Many people with Asperger's are [also] concerned there will be a stigma -- that everyone will be considered autistic -- and when people think of that they think of a child sitting in a corner and spinning," Rodman added.

Changes made to the diagnostic criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Critics are concerned that changes made to better diagnose ADHD will instead lead to over-diagnosis. In the previous version of the DSM, a person needed to show the onset of symptoms before age 7 to be diagnosed with ADHD. The new version now says 12 is the latest age at which ADHD symptoms can manifest themselves. The DSM-5 also reduces the number of criteria needed to arrive at a diagnoses of adult ADHD from six to five.A new diagnostic category for children who are hostile or acting out. The DSM-5 includes a new category called disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, which would apply to children who have extreme irritability but fall short of the standards for bipolar disorder or depression. The category was created to deal with the upswing in bipolar diagnoses among children, but there is concern that some clinicians will label a simple childhood temper tantrum as a treatable mental illness.Breaking out obsessive-compulsive disorders into their own category. Obsessions such as hoarding, hair-pulling and skin-picking had been considered anxiety disorders, but in the DSM-5 they will have their own category. Critics are concerned that this change has more to do with reality television's recent focus on hoarders than with the need for a new category of mental illness.
