...home life means spending time with a menagerie of pets and her steady boyfriend, actor Luke Wilson (Bottle Rocket), at her newly converted barn tucked away in a Los Angeles canyon. She has managed to turn her movie teams into cozy families as well: during the filming of Ever After, in an isolated village in France, she endeared herself to the crew by supplementing the set's meager craft-services table with fresh fruits and sandwiches. A strict vegetarian who objects to harming animals, Barrymore also believes in the spiritual power of auras, karma, energy fields and the like. Maybe...
...Hollywood prop man could design a more fitting set for the top rifleman than Heston's study, situated on a ridge overlooking Coldwater Canyon, with a view of the distant Pacific Ocean. Models of Air Force bombers and spent .50-cal. machine-gun casings adorn a side table ("I was a gunner in the war"). A portrait of Hemingway ("He was not a very nice man") hangs above a cartoon from the strip Hagar the Horrible ("with whom I have great sympathy").

Inhabited by Indians for about 2,000 years, the canyon has two scenic rim drives with breathtaking views of the multihued canyon and ancient cliff dwellings. All visitors must be accompanied by a Navajo guide for walks, horseback rides and driving tours. The only public access into the canyon without a guide is at the White House Ruins Trail. Lodging options in the area include the Thunderbird Lodge, built around an 1896 trading post, a Holiday...
Driving every morning down a canyon road to the mountain I ski at brings me out of Montana and into another world, a world full of people I love to hate. From the arrogant smugness of the man sporting the Vail hat to be the spoiled kids who whine about the bad food, this ski resort, like all ski resorts, is populated by 2 percent locals and 98 percent out-of-town skiers...
