Cannes Festival: God save us from Amal Clooney, the attention seeker

At this year’s Cannes film festival, Amal Clooney broke the golden rule of red carpet etiquette. She stole the thunder and grabbed the limelight from under the noses of the real Hollywood stars, winning all the attention for herself.
