The old cigarette behind the ear thing. I used to rock that look back when I was a young dude. Does he also do the cigarette pack rolled up in the T-shirt sleeve thing?

Mystery woman? Only to you. :) You make it sound like she sneaked in to hang out with George Clooney.
Jeff, there's an old trick used by news photographers when trying to find out the identity of mystery women. They ask the person for her name. Then they ask how it's spelled.
I'll let it go if you don't ask George Clooney to spell his name.

Guess Evan Rachel Wood got her tooth fixed. I wonder if Wells felt the urge to punch Weinstein in the nose for stealing Social Network's Oscar.

Doesn't he ever get sick of enduring that yellow tint just for the sake of some misguided sense of fashion? It'd be like viewing the world through a glass jar of piss.

It's his homage to the 1984 film The Element of Crime

It's only a matter of time before Jean Dujardin is cast in a Bourne/Bond film as the baddie.

And yeah, Kate Mara is definitely YEP YEP. Surprised she still hasn't really taken off yet. Who can forget her indelible first impression in the Marky Mark redneck-Bourne effort 'Shooter'?

Evan Rachel Wood needs to stop dressing like Madonna circa 1986.

Forget about Clooney I reckon this Roger Durling chap has the real dream job. For about a month each year he does a bit of work putting on a prestigious boutique film festival then the rest of the time he's swanning around star-laden industry parties on a circuit that seems to stretch from Santa Barbara and Telluride to the Cote d'Azur. He's got that four day growth and enigmatic half-smile down pat but I wonder if he ever finds time to actually watch any films.

Very jealous that you got to spend time with Kate Mara. If anything could get LexG to post something (aside from a column devoted entirely to Kristen Stewart), it would be the 1st pic.

Once again Wells readers get it wrong. When I was at Telluride the one person I saw getting there early to get a good place in line at least an hour before showtime was Roger Durling. He didn't have the swanky patron's tickets we had either. He waited in line to see all of the films. You got him way way wrong.
