RED LABEL: "I've been around alcoholics all my life," Tilda Swinton, wearing an Yves Saint Laurent smoking and swilling Champagne, said at the Paris premiere of "Julia" Monday night.

Fresh from her Oscar for best supporting actress in "Michael Clayton," Swinton delivers an intense performance in a physical role, but said the biggest challenge was driving the beat-up old cars. French director Erick Zonca filmed the thriller between Los Angeles and Mexico. Swinton also will be seen this year in "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," and "Burn After Reading," which is expected in Cannes.
