New York Hit Parade
The winds were shifting on Sag Harbor’s Main Street.
Julie Andrews crossed the street with a friend, wearing a white summer scarf and using a walking stick to hold on to a bench on the curb.
This is not the cane Dick Van Dyke used to dance with in “Mary Poppins,” but a more luxurious cane.
Anthony Weiner, aka “Carlos Danger”? Helmeted, Carlos, now less dangerous, was on Third Avenue, shoving a bag of chips in his face, his tongue darting out to lick up each crust.
Mr. Giuliani, as you have heard, is limping along. You have heard him, you have seen him, you have respected him, you have ignored him, now try to understand him.
This is War Room Books, a subsidiary of Steve Bannon’s new Skyhorse Publishing company, edited by former Ms magazine editor and Time investigative reporter Elaine Rafferty.
Walking around town? Sophia Loren. Big glasses. Back room at Cipriani. At a table of friends. Slurping down lemon cake and speaking Italian.
Despised by their side
Once upon a time, the beautiful nightclub manager and hostess Rachel Uchitel, 49, was like Monica Lewinsky on steroids. Lewinsky pinned Bill Clinton. Uchitel was Tiger Woods.
Both were married men, known playmates, and remained famous. Both women were heavily criticized.
Rachel: “The National Enquirer exposed my story. Things got tough, I was made to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and if I disputed it I was put in arbitration, so no one would listen to my real story. I’ve now started a podcast called Miss Understood for people who need to talk about suicide and learn to move on. Give their side of the story.”
“Comedian Kathy Griffin, who once suffered a similar scare through humor, said she thought she was going to kill herself when her bookings were canceled. My podcast teaches people how to reclaim their life – how to crawl out of the barrel, one fingernail at a time.”
“I was considered too scandalous to be hired. I was making nothing. My name got me in, but people thought I was too scandalous. One former boss said, ‘Your name won’t work here anymore.'”
“A lot of people want to be famous. They think their 10 minutes of fame is fun. But I ended up being the villain. The face of tragedy in New York. For years I was the most talked about person around. You cried, you were torn apart. It affected my mental state. People betrayed me, sold stories about me. To this day I’m not close to my family.”
As a large number of older people move to Florida, restaurants and entertainment venues are beginning to open.
A grandmother from Palm Beach wanted to divorce her 70-year-old husband.
Why? Because he kept asking for sex. She told the judge that the whole thing only lasted four minutes, but also included dinner and a show.
It’s not just New York, kids, it’s not just New York.
