While Spike Lee was busy calling Trump a "motherfucker" and Lars von Trier has been tied up watching 100 people walk out of his disgustingly violent new movie, John Travolta has spent his time at Cannes promoting Gotti, in which he stars as the head of New York City's Gambino crime family. The movie, from director Kevin Connolly, premiered at Cannes on Tuesday night, capped off by an afterparty where, for some inexplicable reason, 50 Cent put on a concert.

Sure, Cannes can be kind of a miserable place, but this? This is excellent.
