...racing bike in a eucalyptus-shaded lane near his Spanish-stucco mansion. He lives alone because his three daughters are grown and he is separated from his second wife. ("Did you see Michael Ovitz go by before?" he asked proudly. "He lives around the corner. So does Meryl Streep, and Michelle Pfeiffer.") Riordan said he intends to form an administration not of "technocrats," a breed he abhors, but of "doers and implementers." However, he said, "I am not such an amateur that I'm going to ignore the political side, because if you try to implement things over the dead...
...list is misleading as an indicator of women's drawing power in American movies. The Academy might well have nominated three actresses who gave terrific performances in high-earning movies: Pfeiffer, poignant and powerful as the mouse turned tiger (I am Catwoman, hear me roar) in Batman Returns; Meryl Streep, devastatingly funny as a star facing middle age in Death Becomes Her; and Sharon Stone, her sensuality a tantalizing blend of glamour and horror, in Basic Instinct.

That mouth, impish or hellacious, is where Whoopi Goldberg goes one up on the world. Twist it, she's a funny little troll. Smile like the Queen of Sheba, she is the Queen of Sheba, a knee-weakening beauty (don't doubt it; like Meryl Streep, who's also less than a stunner, Whoopi can play beauty). Shove out her jaw, she's a bad-mouth male junkie -- yeah, name's Fontaine, attitude's his game, what's your problem? Flash that 82-toothed thousand- watter, time to watch your wallet. Smile shyly, she's a little kid, you want...
