Demure Nicole Kidman gives a glimpse of her cheeky side at Cannes Film Festival

By Daily Mail Reporter
Her cream dress was ostensibly demure, but Nicole Kidman gave a glimpse of her cheeky side during a candid moment at the Cannes Film Festival.
The Australian actress, 44, arrived in a belted lace frock and peep toe heels for press interviews by the seaside in the South of France.
But between press interviews, the mother-of-two took a moment to kick off her heels and relax on the sand and at one point revealed her surprisingly shapely derriere.

Cheeky side: The star relaxed in bare feet between interviews with press

The mother of four is in town to promote her new film The Paperboy, will be screened later in the week and was joined by her younger co-star Zac Efron.

The film is being described as an 'explosive sexual thriller,' and Kidman sheds her usual 'English rose' look of fair skin and red hair, for a golden tan, heavy make-up and a platinum wig for the part.

Showing support: Keith Urban looked rather suave in his suit and tie

The look of love: Keith looked infatuated with his wife - who is also the mother of his two children

Efron has described his love scenes with the Australian star as the 'highlight of my life.'
He recently admitted he feels 'very lucky' to have secured a serious career after High School Musical.
The 24-year-old turned down several roles after shooting to fame in the Disney franchise because he wants to have a long career, rather than make easy choices and keep his teenage fanbase.

Affectionate: The couple appear to still have their magic after being married six years

He said: 'There were several avenues I could've gone down after High School Musical, but I looked at the long term.
'I want to be doing this for a long time, so I wanted to make this transition slowly. It wasn't so much about keeping the fans but about making sure I was able to focus on my craft and really take a step back, work hard, work with great directors and have a graceful transition.
'It was slow, but I look back at every director I worked with on these films and they are guys I've learnt so much from.

'I didn't cash in or take the easier route but really focused on learning as I grow. I'm still learning. I'm just very lucky.'

The Paperboy is based on the novel by Peter Dexter, who wrote the screenplay for Mulholland Falls.

Director, Lee Daniels recently revealed that casting the film 'was a circus.'
He told the The Hollywood Reporter: 'It was crazy. We kept losing actors because we kept pushing the start date. We started out with one cast and ended up with another.

Moral support: Nicole could be seen squeezing Keith's hand

What a waist! The star's dress was cinched in around her narrow frame

'We started out with Tobey Maguire and Sofia Vergara and Bradley Cooper and we ended up with Zac Efron and Matthew McConaughey and Nicole Kidman.
'I think the universe plays it exactly as it’s supposed to,' Lee added.
'I couldn’t be prouder of each of the actors in the film. They serviced author Pete [Dexter]’s characters magnificently.'

Actress who won Bafta for portrayal of young offender drunkenly assaulted and racially abused taxi driver

By Paul Bentley

Bafta-winning actress Lauren Socha arrives at Derby Crown Court where she received a four-month suspended jail sentence

A Bafta-winning actress lauded for her portrayal of a young offender was herself sentenced to community service yesterday for a drunken racial assault on an Asian taxi driver.
Lauren Socha, 21, who played foul-mouthed Kelly Bailey in the Channel 4 show Misfits, admitted she hit Sarkander Iqbal in the face while screaming racist abuse after a nine-hour wine and lager binge in October.
She was handed a four-month suspended jail sentence and will have to do 80 hours’ unpaid work – a similar sentence to the one her character faced in Misfits. 
After yesterday’s hearing, Mr Iqbal described the attack in which Socha called him a ‘Paki’ and threatened: ‘You don’t know who I am.’
The taxi driver managed to record part of the verbal assault on his mobile phone. In the recording Socha can be heard screaming that she will get his family ‘lifted’ out of the UK before launching into a series of insults.
Socha, who wept as she sat in the dock, had originally denied racial assault but changed her plea to guilty on the first day of her trial at Derby Crown Court.
Mr Iqbal, a 52-year-old father of two who has driven taxis for 22 years, told how Socha called him ‘every name under the sun’ during the attack.
He said: ‘It was terrible. She called me a Paki, a dirty b******, told me to **** off back to my own country and asked what I was doing here because I was Asian.’
Socha launched into her tirade against Mr Iqbal after she accused him of going the wrong way when he drove her and a friend home from another house in Derby at about 1.15am on October 1.
When the taxi driver told her he knew what he was doing, she ‘lost it’, according to Mr Iqbal.
Socha had been hailed as one of Britain’s rising stars following a string of gritty roles.

Rising star: Lauren Socha won a Bafta for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Kelly in Channel 4's Misfits

She was nominated for a Bafta in 2010 for her breakthrough role in The Unloved, a film about a girl growing up in the care system.
She also starred in BBC1’s mini- series Five Daughters, the story of the Ipswich murders, before winning the best supporting actress Bafta last year for Misfits.

Mr Iqbal said: ‘I wasn’t aware who she was. To me she was just another passenger. I was shocked when I heard she was a Bafta-winning actress. If you’re in the public eye, you have to set an example. The way she behaved was not good. She was racist.’

Socha pleaded guilty on the basis she had ‘finger-prodded’ Mr Iqbal rather than punched him. But prosecutor Sarah Allen said he had suffered swelling to the face after the attack.

Misfits: The original cast of the Channel 4 series from left to right are Curtis played by Nathan Stewart, Antonia Thomas as Alisha, Robert Sheehan as Nathan, Lauren Socha as her character Kelly and Simon played by Iwan Rheon

Judge Hilary Watson said: ‘She may have to acknowledge she was so intoxicated her recollection is marred. His recollection was not marred. He was driving a vehicle.’ The judge added: ‘It appears to me that you just lost it. You began to use foul and blatant racism. Your conduct on that night was despicable.’
Socha – who has previously publicly claimed anyone who calls a person a ‘chav’ is racist – was also told to pay £450 compensation to Mr Iqbal, and £750 costs.
Mark van der Zwart, defending, said: ‘She sincerely apologises to Mr Iqbal. She has done extremely well for herself, to say the least, and her own behaviour will undoubtedly affect that. She hopes her remorse and explanation will allow her to move on.’

That's a VERY public display of affection! Victoria Beckham giggles in embarrassment as she and David pucker up for the KissCam

By Georgina Littlejohn and Leah Simpson
It's one thing to sneak a cheeky kiss to your other half when no one is looking.But it's quite another to have almost 20,000 people cheering you on when you do - just ask Victoria Beckham.
The fashion designer was left giggling in embarrassment last night as she and husband David, who today turns 37, were caught on the LA Lakers KissCam as they watched the game from the front row.
Scroll down to watch the Beckhams' KissCam kiss...

Come on you two, give us a kiss! Victoria Beckham looked mortified as she and husband David were caught on the KissCam during last night's LA Laker game

And despite her mortification as she and David flashed on the screen, she had no problem puckering up to her handsome footballer beau as the Staples Center crowd - including David's sister and mother - laughed and applauded them.
And they actually looked absolutely delighted to have been singled out by the KissCam, which focuses on couples during an event at the venue.

Smooch: David and Victoria had no problem puckering up for the crowd...

... and seemed to have enjoyed it when they eventually pulled apart

The couple were probably targeted because they had been very affectionate with each other through the game between the Lakers and the Denver Nuggets
Victoria in particular who appeared quite distracted as she joined her man for their courtside date.

Gotcha! As the camera moved in, Victoria and David's sister Joanne put their hands to their mouth and giggled while David just grinned

Come here then! Egged on by Joanne, David and Victoria shared a kiss

The 38-year-old could be seen whispering to her sports star husband, rather than watching the action on court.
At one point, Victoria wrapped her right arm around the shoulder of her beau, 37, in order to quietly talk to him as the couple enjoyed a date night at the Los Angeles Staples Center.

Well, we've never done that before! Victoria looked coyly at her husband as Joanne and her mother-in-law looked on

Whatever the vital information was that she needed to tell David during the intense game, he initially leant a casual ear before finding something amusing and bursting into laughter.
The couple – who are parents to Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, nine, Cruz, six, and Harper nine months – left their children at home as they enjoyed some grown up time alone.
The two, who got married in 1999, made time for romance as they behaved affectionately with each other throughout event.

Showing off his double sleeve of tattoos in a black fitted T-shirt, David kept one hand on her crossed legs as they followed the action.
Meanwhile Victoria, who kept her hair pulled up in a long ponytail, flashed her huge wedding ring and a glimmering gold watch as she went casual for once in jeans and a black jacket with elasticated arms.

Keeping it quiet: The two stared passionately into one another's eyes as she whispered something to him

Date night: But the two seemed to appreciate time away from their four children

Always looking groomed, she showed off manicured nails, glossed lips and smoky eye make-up for the romantic date.
There’s no doubt she’ll be passing on her tips for looking good to her daughter.

Harper was recently offered a modelling contract by My1stYears.com, the UK’s leading manufacturer of personalised baby gifts.

Keeping up appearances: Victoria appeared manicured and glossed despite dressing casually

In a letter to the tot, the company acknowledges that the girl is too young to agree to the contract due to child labour laws.
It reads: ‘That is why your Mummy and Daddy have been copied on this letter. We are happy to speak with them about your fee; however, we are prepared to pay you a significant amount to be the face of our new range.
