...McKellan (Geoffrey) brings the perfect dash of good-humored candor and carefree elegance to the white South African friend who "might not have the price of a dinner," but "easily might have two million dollars," and on whom the Kittredges are counting for help (two million dollars worth) in closing a deal on a Cezanne...
...jobs. None of them fitted the mold of the clubby headquarters men who filled the executive suites before them. Detroit's three new CEOs have begun to introduce a similar management style into their very different corporate domains.

Gomez helped found the Latino comedy group Culture Clash (the troupe has a new series airing on Fox TV, where Gomez has made guest appearances), and she is adapting her show into a screenplay. "I think the essence of my $ work is that I come from some very strong backgrounds -- gay, Cuban, Puerto Rican," says Gomez...
