...burly technicians. He was about to "fly" about a hundred yards onto the pier, risking life and reputation to promote his animated film Bee Movie. "Anything I hate," Seinfeld said through his body mike, "it's publicity that smacks of any kind of desperation." Then he began his perilous flight...
...plays Barry, a bee who's restless to get out of his home base in New Hive City and see the world. (Like Antz, the first DreamWorks CGI feature, Bee Movie is set in Central Park.) His first outside flight lands him in the home of a friendly florist (voiced by Renée Zellweger) and, in the anything-goes premise, they find they can talk to each other. While Barry's parents fret that she's not right for him ("Is she bee-ish?"), he uncovers a plot to enslave his species and, like a good Jewish bee, acts...

If that doesn't sound like mealtime on your last flight, that's because you weren't aboard Singapore Airlines, where the menus are designed by genial German chef Hermann Freidanck, 54, the carrier's food-and-beverage director. Serving 55,000 meals a day--he has won dozens of awards for the way he accomplishes it--Freidanck does not exactly rely on ordinary caterers. "Our business is flying a tube from A to B," he says.
