The Cannes Film Festival, a pinnacle of glamour and cinema, is currently overshadowed by controversy. French actor Theo Navarro-Mussy has been barred from the red carpet due to ongoing sexual assault allegations. Festival director Thierry Fremaux, alongside the film's producers, made the decision to exclude the actor as the legal proceedings are still pending.

In a different corner of the entertainment world, Sweden's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest, held this year in Basel, Switzerland, is making waves. The comedy trio KAJ's quirky sauna-themed song is a hot favorite, despite the event being marred by protests concerning Israel's participation amid its military actions in Gaza.

Meanwhile, the Cannes Film Market carries on amidst the lingering repercussions of proposed U.S. tariffs on foreign films. The event, crucial for the film industry's business dealings, has adopted a 'business-as-usual' approach even as uncertainties loom.
