Michael Moore Floods Into Venice For The International Film Fest

Today in Venice, the city is full of prosecco glasses clinking and red carpets rolling out as the Venice International Film Festival begins—the world's oldest film festival—and this year brings another impressive roster of films battling for the Golden Lion prize.

Actually, come to think of it, SkyEurope had routes to Venice's Treviso airport; we sure hope no one is stranded elsewhere trying to get to Venice for the films, because they'll sure be missing out on some good stuff. For instance, Michael Moore is using the fest to premiere his newest: "Capitalism: A Love Story," about the US economic meltdown.

Another hugely anticipated film is "A Single Man," directed by former Gucci creative director Tom Ford. It will be his film debut, and yet stars Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. In addition, the red carpet will see the soles of Nicolas Cage, George Clooney, Oliver Stone, Charlize Theron, Eva Mendes, Richard Gere and Sylvester Stallone throughout the fest, which lasts until September 12.

Tomorrow will see the full red carpet, so watch your favorite gossip blog closely for fashion disasters and more. We however will be watching for pictures of celebrities in transit, traipsing through airports on their way to the movies.
