Cheryl Cole stuns on the red carpet after Cannes Festival drama
IT TAKES more than a £1million jewel heist to knock a luvvie-fest like the Cannes Film Festival off track.
Celebrities including Cheryl Cole and Bill Nighy were partying on the French Riviera yesterday as police hunted the thief who looted the hotel room of an employee of jewellers Chopard, the festival sponsors.
Chopard has 40 staff at Cannes whose job it is to persuade stars to wear its products.
Detectives are questioning the American employee to try to discover who would have known she was keeping the samples in her room and not in the Novotel main safe.
However, the big question for the festival is who will be first to turn the story into a film.
