Life on the Red Carpet

We had the good fortune of being in Berlin while the Berlin Film Festival was happening. This is one of the biggest international film festivals in the world and draws in celebrities and their crazy fans from all over! So we had a free night, and happened to be downtown... where there happened to be a movie premier going on... so we thought we'd just check it out.
Now... I've never been one to fawn over celebrities. As a matter of fact, I usually have no idea who they are. However, we didn't really have any plans for the evening so we stood outside a movie theatre in the freeeeeezing cold for about an hour and a half before the premier started. DUMB. But totally worth it!! We met some absolutely crazy fans who were absolutely obessed with these people. They knew exactly which hotels they were staying at... and when exactly their press conferences are... I mean REALLY people!
But really I suppose I can't judge... the three of us were in the front row of the masses waiting for the starst to arrive in their cars. Many many people walked down that red carpet... and I can say that I only knew.
Diane Kruger (I know her from National Treasure... hee hee)
And... drum roll please.... Jake Gyllenhaal! Ok so I know I said I am not gushy about celebs... but really. He is very good looking. Anyway he left the paparazzi to come across the driveway and talk to the fans, and well... we had a moment. I'm pretty sure if he'd had stayed longer we would have become best friends for life. But alas, he had to leave for his own, very suave stroll down the red carpet.
Oh by the way, while we were there we DID go see a French film. It was called "A moi seule" and it was very well done! Definitely on the suggest list if your in the mood for a dark foreign film...
