Awesome Stranger freelancer Jon Frosch is on the French Riviera as we speak, collecting fancy gossip and movie news and trying to touch George Clooney’s butt (or at least that’s what I’d be doing).

Any idea if France 24 has an iPad app?
Preferably one with French language with the iTranslate english subtitres.
oh, by the way, take the vingte mille to Cap d’Antibbes – some great restaurants on the east side of the cape you should eat at. The hotel’s vastly overrated, but the eating is tres magnifique.
@2 It’s all that wine!
no, it’s the sun and the ambiance. the paella isn’t as good in Nice as it is on the Cap, too. I usually just get a nice carafe or half of the house wine and enjoy the food with whomever I’m there with. But it is kind of fun to hang out with some of the film peeps. I’d avoid the fancy top line parties – they have such a class system at Cannes …
Maybe I had my hopes up, but I expected Lindy West’s 1000th blog post to at least have SOME mention of spiders in it.
I guess George Clooney’s butt will have to do.
