The monkey business didn't start until after the release of Burton's film Planet of the Apes, in which Bonham Carter (left, at the movie's premiere) and Marie played foxy simians. (During the shoot, notes Bonham Carter's rep, "she was in latex from head to toe.")

Frequent flyer New York Rep. Charlie Rangel counseled understandably antsy people on his flight last week to hold tight or they?d be touching down in Dulles, 25 miles from Washington and three miles, by mobile-lounge, from the taxi-stand.
