Wall Street Journal: Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer is skipping Cannes this year. This time around, Mayer has a pretty good excuse. Yahoo’s annual shareholders meeting in Santa Clara, Calif., is scheduled for June 24, which is smack in the middle of the Cannes advertising festival in France. It was last year, of course, that Mayer took the nap that shook the ad world. After she decided to get some rest at her hotel after delivering a speech, she ended up showing up nearly two hours late for a dinner with a group of top advertising execs, irking some attendees.
