Lizzie Grubman had the good sense to be born to a father with celebrity connections. (He's an entertainment lawyer.) She was also clever enough to become a publicist and use those connections to build a successful business representing people like Britney Spears and Jay-Z. But her instincts failed her two summers ago, when she backed a Mercedes SUV into a crowd at a Hamptons nightclub and fled the scene. Grubman kissed her friends and the good life a temporary goodbye last week and began serving 60 days in jail. Although scared, Grubman has suggested that her former life...
...that Morvern Callar isn't destined to be just another much-lauded "little film," it wasn't even shortlisted this year at Cannes. Ramsay's response to the Cannes disappointment was, she says, "a bit mad": she got married. An hour before she was due to fly out, her publicist hired a boat and captain.

It's rife with little-known facts: McNally reports that roughly half the band experimented with Scientology. Yet McNally's greatest asset is not his inside gossip but his encyclopedic knowledge of the '60s counterculture.

Only fans will sit through the whole thing, but moments of drama and virtuosity abound. --By Benjamin Nugent
