...shows every night, in clubs and concert halls, so it's no surprise that they would eventually make an assault on Broadway. The bigger question is whether they belong there. Cantone, a New York City comic and actor perhaps best known for his recurring role as Charlotte's wedding planner in Sex and the City, is a talented, high-voltage performer with a bag of good impressions (Julia Child, Sammy Davis Jr.) and a bitchy, high-camp sensibility.

John Sestina, 62, a certified financial planner and co-founder of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors, is thinking ahead to the day when he and wife Bobbi no longer want to take care of their 8,500-sq.-ft. house in Columbus, Ohio, and also looking for a way to reduce his federal estate taxes.
