...Roberta sets the agenda regarding who wears Armani?and when?on the red carpet. She was instrumental in the planning of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' nuptials, and at any celebrity-driven event, whether it's Cannes or the Oscars, you can usually spot her giggling with Holmes, George Clooney or Martin Scorsese. Indeed, one of her first tasks as an Armani employee was to take Leonardo DiCaprio out clubbing in New York City when he was just...

He can go from heartthrob to Oscar candidate simply by relaxing his smiling face into a rictus of exhaustion. The frown lines dominate here; Clayton is worn out, and the movie spends a little too much time documenting his dissipation.
