Cue the paparazzi: Cinema’s rite of spring — the Cannes Film Festival — will feature an all-star cast, as will be officially announced on Thursday. But, for now, PEOPLE has learned that fans can expect to find Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, as well as Sean Penn and Scarlett Johansson sharing the spotlight along the Croisette from May 11 through 22.

In addition, invitations to the 64th Cannes Fest are also out to Rolling Stone Keith Richards, Madonna, Jack Black and France’s First Lady, Carla Bruni, who happens to be making her acting debut in a Woody Allen movie.

One thing is already for certain: Robert DeNiro will be sticking around the entire fest — he is the head of the jury that hands out the prizes.

Topping the list of premieres is the multi-generational saga “Tree of Life,” starring Pitt and Penn and directed by the highly regarded Terence Malick (“Badlands,” “Days of Heaven”). Pitt will no doubt remain in the South of France during the first half of the festival, which will also bring a sneak peek of “Kung Fu Panda 2,” featuring the voice of Jolie, as well as that of Dustin Hoffman and Jack Black.

Depp’s appearance is keyed to a world premiere, that of “Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” which marks the return of Jack Sparrow. Cruz is among the costars.

The festival’s previously announced Opening Selection, Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris,” will bring to Cannes cast members Rachel McAdams, Michael Sheen, Owen Wilson, Kathy Bates, Adrien Brody and, it is anticipated, Marion Cotillard, though she is due to give birth at the end of April.

Also on the agenda: a special tribute to the late Elizabeth Taylor, whose amFAR event to benefit her AIDS foundation has become an annual Cannes event.

You’ve seen the serious sparklers, but just what went into the creation of Angelina Jolie‘s new jewelry line, Style of Jolie? “She has been involved, every step of the way,” jeweler Robert Procop tells PEOPLE. “She wanted to create some beautiful art around jewels with the mission of helping children.” Jolie and Procop, who’s styled the actress in the past, started the project in August of 2010, creating storyboards, researching gems and metals and considering various designs. “Angelina has a very classic style. She is very chic and contemporary,” Procop explains. “[The collection] is what she enjoys wearing on the red carpet, but also what she enjoys wearing when she’s at home. It’s also what she enjoys giving as a gift.” In fact, at Christmas, Brad Pitt gifted Jolie with a bracelet similar to the the five-row white quartz tablet bracelet (above) after seeing her design. Another piece the actress particularly loves is the Angelina Jolie exceptional emerald necklace (above), containing 44 green gems totaling 103.48 carats. “It’s probably one of the finest collections of cushion emeralds ever assembled,” Procop says. “The stones are just so bright.” Though the line — which features pieces starting at $4,000 and benefits the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict — is only available to private clients at the moment, Procop hints that later this year, a more accessible retail version will hit the market. But for now, the jewels are hitting the road: after a short stint in Beverly Hills, they’ll move on to a gallery in Monaco for about two weeks. Seems they’re following in the footsteps of their jet-setting creator!

There are rumors Angelina Jolie wants to produce a French movie as a way to pay tribute to her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died in 2007 of ovarian cancer.

What do Angelina Jolie, Kim Kardashian, Brad Pitt and Kendra Wilkinson have in common?

Not too much, except they’re among the most media-exposed stars in 2010, USA TODAY’s Celebrity Heat Index shows.

A review of the Heat Index, which measures media exposure, shows that the leading 2010 newsmakers in celebrity news magazines and on websites remain Hollywood A-listers, except for a few reality TV personalities.

Is there a danger that reality TV regulars will overtake talented stars in the celeb magazine world? No, says Samir Husni, director of the Magazine Innovation Center at the University of Mississippi. Hollywood A-listers are likely going to dominate the tabloids “because celebrities sell more magazines (due to the fantasy aspect) than reality TV figures or just reality!”

For example, Husni notes that Angelina Jolie, who ranks No. 1 for the year, remains a popular cover subject because “she is beautiful, rich, famous, a mother, an ambassador of goodwill, hardworking, fun and is (with) Brad Pitt.” He adds, “What else do you want in a fantasy woman?”

Top 10 stars for 2010

1. Angelina Jolie 5,007 The actress, U.N. goodwill ambassador and mom becomes a quadruple threat, adding director duties to her résumé.

2. Sandra Bullock 3,670 What a roller-coaster ride for the actress, who begins the year high by winning awards only to face painful lows thanks to her now-ex husband’s philandering/sex scandal. The finalization of the adoption of baby Louis is the highlight.

3. Brad Pitt 3,443 Between film productions, he had a busy year of eco-goodwill and daddy duty.

4. Kim Kardashian 3,343 Body, bikinis and boyfriends: That pretty much sums up her year in headlines.

5. Jennifer Aniston 3,237 The actress’ personal life continues to trump her professional.

6. Kourtney Kardashian 2,709 She and fiancé Scott Disick mark their son’s first year with a lot of tabloid drama.

7. Robert Pattinson 2,064 He has spent 2010 working hard on film projects and dodging interest in his relationship with Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart.

8. Kendra Wilkinson 1,858 She makes the top 10, but it’s a challenge to discern why. Is it the NFL husband, the Playboy cover or the baby?

9. Lindsay Lohan 1,828 The troubled star has spent the past year in trouble, in jail and in rehab.

10. Kristen Stewart 1,761 The actress has supposedly become engaged, wed and been impregnated by her Twilight co-star and rumored boyfriend Robert Pattinson. Have the tabloids confused facts with fiction?

Angelina Jolie recreates and revels in the romantic thrillers of old in The Tourist
THERE are times, says Angelina Jolie, when being an actor is just pure, exhilarating joy. Take, for instance, the romantic thriller, The Tourist. Right from the start, it promised to be a wonderful experience and it didn’t disappoint.

“If anything, it exceeded my expectations,” says Jolie with a smile. “Honestly, it was just so much fun and hopefully we’ve captured that on screen.” Read the rest of this entry…

Angelina is nominated for next years People’s Choice Awards. The awards show will air on January 5, 2011. So make sure you set your TV Tuner for that. She’s nominated for the categories ‘Favorite Movie actress’ and ‘Favourite Action Star’. Salt is nominated for ‘Favorite Action Movie’. Hopefully Angie wins at least one of the categories.

Angelina Jolie says she and her kids have to “sneak” out of their house to try and avoid the paparazzi.

The actress – who raises six children, Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, five, Shiloh, four and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, with her partner Brad Pitt – spends most of her time at home to avoid the throng of photographers who follow her wherever she goes. But she has devised escape routes to escape attention telling The Independent newspaper: “My real life is 90 percent contained in my house with my kids. When we are at our best, we are just nutty. And the kids want to go out shopping to the market, but you’ve got 20 people behind you so you just can’t. But sometimes we try to sneak out – and sometimes for us the easiest thing to do is sneak out of the front door, because everybody is checking the back door! But you try not to live your life that way – it would drive you nuts.”

Angelina also claims the public make wrong assumptions about her personality, often believing her to be a dark character, but she insists she has a soft side she believes she inherited from her late mother Marcheline Bertrand. “Sometimes people think of me as being darker, but (“The Tourist” co-star) Johnny (Depp) has seen me on set giggling; I think maybe a bit of my mom has rubbed off on me, and hopefully I’m a little softer and more female than I’m assumed to be.” (msn.com)
