Even grimmer, in a way that would do Jeremiah proud, is Robert Thurman: father of the actress Uma, adviser on both upcoming films, the Dalai Lama's longtime friend, co-founder with Gere of Tibet House and Jey Tsong Khapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University.

...have had enough of husband MICK JAGGER's wandering ways. She has hired Anthony Julius, Princess Diana's divorce lawyer. Exactly what she intends Julius to do, if anything more than act as a human warning beacon, is unclear. Her ire was aroused when Jagger was reportedly seen embracing Uma Thurman in one bar and model Jana Rajlich in another. The singer, reputedly Britain's 145th richest man, has three young children with Hall, two children with other amours and two grandchildren. But sometimes granddads need to feel sexy...
