B-Town
stars
usually
don't
miss
out
on
an
opportunity
to
get
clicked
with
pop
stars
and
international
celebs
especially
at
places
as
prolific
as
Cannes.
Kareena
Kapoor's
happy
being
an
exception.
She
missed
out
on
meeting
Cheryl
Ann
'Tweedy'
Cole
at
the
international
film
festival
in
spite
of
an
invitation
from
the
British
singer.
Says
a
source
close
to
Kapoor,
"Bebo
was
to
attend
the
international
film
festival.
'Tweedy'
Cole
was
already
there
to
perform
a
30-minute
set
at
a
party
thrown
by
luxury
jewellery
firm
de
Grisogono
on
May
18
at
the
Hotel
du
Cap.
The
singer
had
performed
in
front
of
a
star-studded
crowd
including
Naomi
Campbell
and
fashion
heir
Margherita
Missoni.
The
organisers
heard
that
Cole
was
keen
on
meeting
the
Indian
actress
and
an
invitation
for
the
A-List
event
was
sent
out
to
her."
The
source
adds
that
Kareena,
who's
shooting
for
Rohit
Shetty's
Golmaal
3
in
Goa,
had
to
give
it
a
miss.
"Though
her
managers
were
informed
of
the
invitation,
Bebo
herself
had
to
turn
it
down
as
the
Golmaal
3
schedule
in
Goa
had
been
fixed
months
ago
and
they
were
shooting
the
film's
climax
with
the
entire
cast
(20
people
in
all).
There
was
no
way
she
could
have
opted
out
and
made
it
to
the
party
in
France."
Says
Bebo,
"I
was
invited
to
attend
Cheryl's
party
but
was
in
Goa
and
overworked.
Of
course,
it
would
have
been
fun
to
go
and
I
would
have
loved
to
attend.
I
love
her
songs
and
was
very
keen
on
meeting
her.
Maybe
I'll
meet
her
if
I
go
to
Cannes
next
year."
Cole
kaun?
Cheryl

fame

2002
after
