Cannes Coos for New Indiana Jones

The Big O: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull got a 3.5-minute standing ovation when it premiered at Cannes Sunday. Let the Shia LaBeouf-taking-over-the-franchise chatter commence. Above, a brilliant reconstruction of Raiders as the matinee serial Spielberg and Lucas always imagined. Other chapters here. [Via]

Down the rabbit hole: Papa Joe officiated the marriage of daughter Ashlee Simpson and mini-punk Pete Wentz Saturday. The ceremony was followed by an Alice in Wonderland-themed reception.

Cleaning house: Top John McCain adviser Thomas G. Loeffler resigned over the weekend. It's at least the fifth departure from the McCain campaign in a week as Johnny boy cleans the house of lobbyist dustballs.

SURE, THERE'S MORE: Can Angelina save Wino?; Obama's big draw; and another thing to scare pregnant chicks!

Be inspired: The Sun's got an old, seemingly irrelevant video of Angelina Jolie in a drug den talking about her kinky sexual proclivities. Apparently, this video might serve as "a lesson for Amy" Winehouse and perhaps even inspire Wino and Pete Doherty to get clean and become righteous earth mothers like Angie.

Crowded house: Barack Obama drew his biggest crowd yet, speaking to some 65,000 supporters at a rally in Portland, Oregon, on Sunday, while an additional 15,000 or so were stopped at the door.

Fetal cells: Drop that iPhone, Mommy-to-be. A new study finds that pregnant women who use cell phones are more likely to have children with hyperactivity and emotional issues.

Harsh: Some medical marijuana users are being denied organ transplants due to their use of the alternative therapy.
