...outside Luxembourg City. The chance to see any number of his large pieces together is rare. They tend to be too big for museums, too heavy for their floors, and their installation is brutally costly. And so the current show of seven new pieces, the Torqued Ellipses, in the Geffen Contemporary building at Los Angeles' Museum of Contemporary Art, is--to put it mildly--quite an event...
Sometimes it really is a small, small world. Next week DreamWorks--the studio founded by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen--opens its first cartoon feature, Antz. The computer-animated story of life in an ant colony, Antz features the voices of Woody Allen, Sharon Stone, Sylvester Stallone and Dan Aykroyd. In November Pixar, the creator of Toy Story, and Disney, the studio where Katzenberg was chairman for 10 years, plan to release A Bug's Life, which also happens to be the computer-animated story of life in an ant colony. It features the voices of NewsRadio...
...fund has become "a way for people to express how they feel about Starr." Which is what seems to have spurred Hollywood's elite into action.

Despite one L.A. newscast's report that Streisand's close friend President Clinton planned to cut short his China visit in order to attend...
Some industry veterans figure Bronfman isn't done reshuffling yet. Speculation lingers about a sale to DreamWorks, though DreamWorks partner David Geffen says, "That's a made-up story." Some expect Diller, still assembling his new USA Networks Inc., to play a larger role, but Diller denies that, saying "I have enough to do." He says he doesn't even discuss Universal's business with Bronfman. As for the harsh reviews that Bronfman's recent performance has received, Diller dismisses them. "Hollywood turns on everybody and then turns back," he says. "Such is the nature of the process." In other...
