Global swarming: Celebrities on the run in Toronto

THE Toronto International Film Festival always used to remind me of a celebrity petting zoo. Stroll down one of the major boulevards in Yorkville during the 10-day festival and you were bound to see someone like Charlize Theron window-shopping or Colin Farrell copping a smoke on a street corner. You'd nod, he or she would smile back, and you'd have an "I was chatting with so-and-so" story for the cousins back in Buffalo.
