HOLLYWOOD, May 22, 2000 -- Cannes, after all, is not the Oscars. So it's no surprise when the big winners at the chi-chi film festival assume the largely unknown (to us) names of, uh, Lars von Trier and, er, Wong Kar-wai.

Bette Midler is about to fly solo. On her sitcom, that is. The actress, who when we last checked was still happily married on her new CBS sitcom "Bette," has become husband-less as of last week, Reuters says. Actor Kevin Dunn, who played Midler's hubby Roy on the show, has left the series, the show's publicist said Tuesday. While no reason was given for his sudden departure, the parting is said -- in typical Hollywood parlance -- to be amicable. "It was a mutual decision between him and the prod
