Berry's already taking her regular early morning runs on the beach path past the Wailea Marriott Resort next door. She's staying very low-key, discreetly clad in baggy shorts and a baseball cap. But we'd be verrrrrry careful about asking for an autograph. Word is that the Four Seasons has seriously beefed up their security, at Berry's request, to prevent her soon-to-be ex-husband Eric Benet from his continued attempts to see and talk to her. You remember Benet. The handsome dreadlocked dude with the admitted ``sex addiction''? And that's about all he'll ever be known for. A DEFINITE PLUS: It's a study in contrasts.

Be very afraid!'' ``I think it's the perfect time for this movie,'' he said of the premiere's proximity to the Democratic convention. ``It's a time when people are thinking about (politics), and I think it is the type of film that will stimulate more thought, conversations and arguments. I think that's good. I think that's healthy.''

Sarsgaard admits that it wasn't all that big a stretch for him to play the doper grave digger (and best friend to co-star Zach Braff, who wrote, directed and stars in the film). ``I grew up around delinquents. And yes, I've totally partaken of delinquent behavior,'' he revealed late into the evening at the ``Garden State'' premiere after-party at the Directors Guild on Tuesday night. ``I'm 33 now and I have no time. If I had the energy still, I would try to still be delinquent, but I don't have the stamina like I used to. I don't know what happened.'' Lots of other high-profile people hung out after the well-received unspooling of the movie. Brendan Fraser, Eva Mendes, Cedric the Entertainer, Danny DeVito and wife Rhea Perlman, Henry Winkler and Donald Faison joined the film's other stars - Sir Ian Holm, Jean Smart and Armando Riesco - for the celebration, but we didn't spot any delinquent behavior.
