After Miami Circuit Judge Rosa Rodriguez granted Lazaro temporary custody of Elian last week, a typical Miami-style conflict-of-interest controversy erupted. It was discovered that Armando Gutierrez, publicist for the drive to keep Elian in the U.S., was a paid media consultant in Rodriguez's 1998 election campaign--and that the judge is under state investigation for allegedly violating campaign-finance rules. As the judge argued that Elian should be reared in a freer society than Cuba, it was hard not to wonder last week whether Miami is the ideal American city in which to teach...
Dooo-di-dooo-di-dooo! Your cell phone--which for some reason is programmed with the most ridiculous-sounding ring in all of telecommunications--goes off. It's D'Angelo's publicist...
...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.

The simple, traditional affair--reportedly paid for by Sklar's parents--was held in a loft in New York City's East Village. Comedian George Wallace served...
Liza Minnelli doesn't sweep, diva-style, into the restaurant for an interview. She sort of edges in, warily, close to a publicist, wrapped in folds of black that effectively hide a figure that once ballooned so much that paparazzi competed for photos as though they were getting paid by the pound. Yet she's looking better these days, down 40 lbs. thanks to a high-protein diet (this evening's menu: carpaccio, swordfish steak and hot milk for dessert). Her weight, of course, is hardly the only thing that has made her a star of the gossip pages. There...
