My, my, look at what a good soldier, hubby and sport Warren Beatty was last night on the red carpet at the premiere of his wife's film "Running with Scissors" at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences in Beverly Hills. The once paparazzi-chased heartthrob was mostly ignored by journos who plugged Annette Bening with questions about her latest film (possible fourth Oscar nom?) and, occasionally, her domestic life with Warren and their four kids. A few times Warren appeared distracted and looked away, twice at me, actually, while glowering a bit as if wondering, "What's that jerk doing taking photos on the wrong side of the carpet?" Or maybe, "What's that jerk doing holding up his Treo like that? Is that a call for me?" Obviously, the security goon to his left thought I looked suspicious, too.
