...Burr is no remote Mr. Big to his workers. He sits down on a regular basis with all 1,000 of the airline's team leaders, about 20 at a time, in sessions that can run up to eight hours. All the while, Burr gulps coffee from a porcelain mug. "They think my meetings are too long," he says. "I like that. It means we go into detail." Burr first listens to their problems and ideas, but then he asks for the sky and the clouds. Says Burr: "This is a very driven place...
Giamatti is flattered. "But I don't buy it," he says. In Hollywood face is fate, and with thinning hair, crooked teeth and no chin, Giamatti knows that his mug will almost always be cast in the service of actors with cheekbones. Unlike some of his rage-filled characters, he carries no visible resentment about that. Sitting in a café in Prague (where he is shooting The Illusionist, supporting Edward Norton and Jessica Biel), Giamatti announces, "You are absolutely free to describe me as a turtle or something.

...have taken much just to pop over here and meet everybody, would it, really?" Two months later, Plant is still unapologetic. "It made more sense to join hands with proactive people than to go along and be fêted at the Grammys," says Plant, 56, clasping a mug of red lentil soup in a north London gastro-pub. It's hard to blame him; after all, nothing says "career over" like a lifetime achievement award. And for possibly the first time in his meandering, often mediocre solo career, Plant has no need to dwell on Zeppelin's dancing days...
