Sometimes in Cannes it’s fun just to hover at the fringes of a party to observe the interactions, the body language, the eye-rolling, who’s drinking what and who isn’t.
The shindig for HBO’s The Idol, which screened this week, was at the Palm Beach, with its interior shaped like an amphitheatre so that one could view the comings and goings as if it were a gladiatorial combat with participants in sequinned gowns and tuxedos. Lily-Rose Depp is The Idol‘s undoubted star, no matter what The Weeknd thinks, and victory was hers as she was ushered into the VIP section. The Weeknd — aka Abel Tesfaye — may see it otherwise as he and his entourage arrived to stake their claim well ahead of Ms. Depp and her posse.

Lily-Rose Depp is reacting to Chloe Fineman's spot-on impression of her character, Jocelyn, on, and the actress' reaction can be summed up with three simple letters — LOL.Depp dropped a comment on Fineman's viral post from Thursday, in which the star spoofs Depp's pop-star protagonist, Jocelyn, with an exaggerated portrayal that includes smoking half a dozen cigarettes, wearing a backward bra and speaking with the same vernacular Depp's Jocelyn uses on the show.«Does my song f**k?» Fineman's spoof asks in the video while wearing dark eye shadow. «Like, music should f**k.»At one point, Fineman pulls a lacy red robe over her head and ties it around her neck, eerily similar to Jocelyn near the end of episode 1 when Abel Tesfaye's character, the club owner Tedros, tells her to «block out her world» and then covers her head in a red robe before puzzlingly proceeding with erotic asphyxiation.

Getting ready for the big debut! Lily-Rose Depp is overwhelmed with excitement for the premiere of her new dark drama series “The Idol”.
Apparently, Lily-Rose Depp did her best to stay away – far away – from her co-star, The Weeknd, while filming their show at times.
Despite their unbreakable character bond in HBO and A24’s upcoming series “The Idol”, Lily-Rose Depp sometimes maintained her distance from Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye while filming the controversial series.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director In HBO’s controversial new series “The Idol,” Lily-Rose Depp plays a young pop phenom who falls for a self-help guru and modern day cult leader named Tedros (played by Abel “the Weeknd” Tesfaye). Depp recently told Entertainment Weekly that no one in “The Idol” cast went “full Method [actor],” but that doesn’t mean some of them didn’t go at least half. Or that what it sounds like, at least. “I don’t think anybody went full method — nobody lost their minds,” Depp said. “Well, sometimes when Abel would get — I don’t want to reveal too much about where Abel’s character goes, but when he would be in full Tedros mode sometimes, I would steer clear of him. I’d be like, ‘He’s in his zone right now.'”
