...become Sith-size hits win Cannes' Palme d'Or - as L'Enfant, another dour view of the Belgian underclass by the brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, did at Saturday night's closing ceremony. But the festival organizers, like the rubberneckers outside the Palais, are smitten by star quality. Sharon Stone, one of the few Hollywood actresses adept at radiating that old-time sexual allure, was seen and photographed everywhere. Chief programmer Thierry Frémaux made a point of inviting small films brandishing major marquee names, like Amos Gitai's Israeli drama Free Zone, with Portman as an American...
...make more sense to declare an ensemble award (it's happened before) for supporting actresses: to the Broken Flowers brigade of Lange, Sharon Stone, Frances Conroy, Tilda Swinton, Alexis Dziena, Chloe Sevigny and Pell James; or to the Sin City sorority that includes Jessica Alba, Carlo Gugino, Rosario Dawson, Brittany Murphy and Jaime King. Our choice is the Three Burials tandem of Melissa Leo and January Jones: one strong and maternally sexy, the other brutalized but unbowed, each so arresting, the source of so much of the film's wayward life, that The Three Burials inevitably sags when they disappear...

They met almost 30 years ago, when Adler worked on a campaign for Sharon's Shlomzion party, which later merged with Likud. Adler's politics are centrist--"I'm a 2.6," he says--but he works with Sharon out of admiration for his friend. Every two weeks, Adler spends a weekend morning at Sharon's ranch, chatting and eating with the family. The two men also speak by phone several times a week, often about soccer, not politics...
After that first election, Adler continued to advise Sharon, helping him win a landslide in his second election, in January 2003. After that vote, Sharon penned a note to Adler that hangs framed on his office wall: "Reuven, my good friend, I couldn't have done it without you." Adler isn't advising Sharon on his disengagement plan, at least not officially. (The Prime Minister's office is handling the p.r.) But when Sharon faces Likud leadership primaries and a general election by next year, Adler expects to be part of the campaign. "The message will be different," Adler says...
