...Gavin de Becker, who has protected the likes of John Travolta and Cher, prefers not to discuss the security of public figures. He'd rather focus on his new book, The Gift of Fear, whose premise is the idea that his methods are not just for the wealthy and powerful but are equally applicable to the general public. The general public has responded by putting his book on the best-seller list...
...father's socks around and the psychiatrist (Edward Herrmann) who has taken them away. The stale shrink jokes wouldn't pass muster on an average episode of Seinfeld, not to mention Shanley's own better work, like his flavorful screenplay for Moonstruck.

That buzzing sound that woke you up at 8:30 last Tuesday was the echo of Oscar-buffs around the globe, scratching their chins and asking each other, "'Billy Bob' who? Is there a 'Billy Bob' here?"

So everyone ogles at the big parade: Dustin Hoffman, Elizabeth Taylor, Cher, Mick Jagger, Kenneth Branagh, Sandra Bullock and Elton John. None of these worthies were showing completed films; they were on hand simply to bring luster to a festival where voyeurism is a vocation. Gawkers in evening dress could watch La Liz at a lavish dinner to benefit AIDS research, where she auctioned off a Robert Rauschenberg painting with...
