...success in Hollywood can be fickle, so Swank has hired a team to help her climb through the window of opportunity that Boys has opened. A publicist (cost: around $2,500 a month) was brought in to build Oscar buzz. A new stylist (paid per event) is helping her glam up. "It's so weird. I get calls from designers: 'We'll send a look book. Just tell us what you want,'" says Swank, whose current taste for Valentino should avert barbs from E! channel fashionista Joan Rivers.
