Kidman DJs at Cannes opening...

Hollywood star Nicole Kidman celebrated the opening of her new movie Moulin Rouge (which includes music by Bono and Gavin Friday) by trying her hand at DJ-ing as she partied into the early hours.

The Australian actress, who had earlier thrilled crowds at the premiere of the glamorous musical movie, took to the decks at the after-show party in the French resort of Cannes.

And she received a helping hand from celebrity DJ Fatboy Slim who worked on the soundtrack of the film.

Moulin Rouge, by director Baz Luhrmann, opened the 54th annual film showcase last night with a star-studded screening. After the premiere Kidman donned a set of headphones and joined Fatboy Slim, aka Norman Cook, spinning discs at an exclusive party in a specially custom-built venue.

Earlier in the evening Cook had fallen foul of the strict dress code operating at the black tie premiere. The DJ, who was wearing an open-necked grey shirt, was turned away at the doors of the Palais des Festivals for not wearing a bow tie.

But after a word to the officials from his wife, former Radio 1 DJ Zoe Ball, he was allowed to take his seat.

Kidman, who recently split from husband Tom Cruise and has also suffered a miscarriage, appeared happy and relaxed at the party chatting with guests and dancing.

Moulin Rouge is a song and dance spectacular set in the famous Parisian nightclub at the turn of the 20th century. The party, which continued well into the early hours, followed the movie's theme with can-can dancers and cabaret performers providing a spectacular floorshow.

The Cannes Film Festival continues until May 20.
