Hollywood star Johnny Depp and his partner, the French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis, stepped out at the Cannes film festival for a surprise concert by punk rocker Patti Smith.

Paradis rubbed shoulders with fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld and film-maker Tim Burton at a dinner held in her honour near the waterfront festival hall on Tuesday night.

Depp and Paradis are not appearing in films screened at the festival, which draws dozens of world celebrities to the Riviera town for two weeks each May. [Source]
