...Gavin de Becker, who has protected the likes of John Travolta and Cher, prefers not to discuss the security of public figures. He'd rather focus on his new book, The Gift of Fear, whose premise is the idea that his methods are not just for the wealthy and powerful but are equally applicable to the general public. The general public has responded by putting his book on the best-seller list...
...castoffs--some lovely, some dated, some plain hideous. The "Up Yours" dress, right, so called because Diana wore it to stunning effect the night Charles admitted his infidelity on TV, was an early favorite at $74,000. But it was eclipsed by the $222,500 blue velvet "JOHN TRAVOLTA dress," far right, which she wore at a White House dinner in 1985, and the $151,000 "Elvis dress," below, as Diana has called it. Most of the gowns sold for $20,000 to $40,000, shockingly low to some bidders. "I bid on anything less than 20," said Ellen Louise...

And Travolta, after shucking his dour FBI persona, shows a gaily dangerous side as Castor. He's a charming, reckless slime...
...pushed to have the high-profile auction moved out of London for looking a bit too much like a Salvation Army initiative for royal comfort. But bargain shoppers are unlikely to shell out the $200,000 paid for a midnight blue velvet number worn while dancing with John Travolta at a White House reception. Or $65,000 for the so-called "Up Yours" short black cocktail dress worn the night Prince Charles admitted his infidelity to TV viewers. For turning the tacky into the touching, Diana still boasts a public personna with which few can compare. Buckingham Palace, take note...
