CANNES, France —“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” rolled into the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday, returning George Miller's dystopia-on-wheels to the French Riviera festival and lending Anya Taylor-Joy a fairy tale moment on the Cannes red carpet.

Taylor-Joy, with her first film in Cannes, brought classical movie-star glamour to one of the most anticipated premieres of the festival. Wearing a cream-colored custom Dior gown, Taylor-Joy playfully posed for photographers while walking into the Palais des Festivals and offering mock salutes to her director.

The latest “Mad Max” film, starring Chris Hemsworth and Taylor-Joy as a young Furiosa, premiered in Cannes almost exactly nine years after “Mad Max: Fury Road” debuted at the French festival. Miller, who has served on the Cannes jury several times, also premiered his “Three Thousand Years of Longing” in 2022 here.

“To show it in that cinema with about 2,000 people with impeccable sound and screening is a big thing. It’s kind of optimal cinema, really,” Miller said in advance of the premiere. “The moment that they said, ‘OK, we’re happy to show this film here,’ I jumped at it.”

For the 28-year-old Taylor-Joy, “Furiosa” in Cannes was a full circle moment. The first time she came to the festival was to receive a Chopard trophy as an emerging actor in 2017. It was presented by the original Furiosa, Charlize Theron, the star of “Fury Road.”

While this year's Cannes boasts many prominent upcoming premieres, including Francis Ford Coppola's “Megalopolis" and Yorgos Lanthimos' “Kinds of Kindness,” with Emma Stone, the “Furiosa” debut was easily the biggest megawatt Hollywood event of the festival. Among the attendees were jury head Greta Gerwig, Eva Green, Naomi Campbell and Baz Luhrmann.

“Furiosa” opens in North American theaters on May 24.

Actors Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor may have the keys to success when it comes to sustaining a longtime relationship, but they don’t have the keys to just one residence.

The couple, who have been together since 2015, live in separate homes, Paulson revealed this week.

The “American Horror Story” star, 49, said that while she and Taylor “spend plenty of time together,” they don’t “actually live in the same house.”

“We’ve been together for a long time now and I think part of it has to do with, we’re together when we wanna be and we’re not when we don’t,” she told Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett during Monday’s episode of their podcast, “SmartLess.”

However, the Emmy winning actor noted that she still often shares a bed with the 81-year-old stage and screen star, known for roles in “Legally Blonde,” “Two and a Half Men” and “The Practice.”

“I like to sleep near her. I don’t want to be around her the rest of the time,” Paulson quipped about before adding: “Just kidding.”

She also shared that Taylor had never previously been in “a long-term relationship” before they began dating, whereas Paulson had been in two relationships that lasted more than five years.

“To get to be her age and sort of not having really cohabitated with someone for a long time, I think it was a lot to sort of all of a sudden have me and all my neediness in her space,” she said.

Actress Angie Harmon has sued Instacart and a driver after her dog was allegedly shot and killed by a delivery person dropping off her order.

The “Law & Order” alum, 51, accused a delivery person of shooting Oliver the pup during an Easter weekend altercation earlier this year in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In an Instagram post, Harmon said the driver shot and killed the German shepherd/beagle mix and admitted to doing it, after making the grocery delivery.

In response, Instacart said it suspended the delivery person and was cooperating with law enforcement.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department did not charge the driver, later identified as Christopher Anthoney Reid, who claimed he acted in self-defense and had been bitten by the dog — which Harmon denies. Police said another dog was present at the time and was not harmed.

Harmon filed a lawsuit against Instacart and Reid, accusing the company and driver of trespassing, conversion, negligence, negligent supervision/hiring, invasion of privacy and negligent misrepresentation, according to People.

The suit claims Reid was “not injured” or “seriously threatened” by the dog and had “ample opportunity” to leave.

Harmon is seeking $25,000 in damages.

“Our hearts continue to be with Ms. Harmon and her family following this disturbing incident,” Instacart told People, adding that it could not comment on pending litigation and reiterating Reid was no longer eligible to use its platform.
