(Long Island, NY) This summer weekend I enjoyed the hot sandy beach the Long Island sunshine and the fabulous blockbuster movie Superman Returns.

I have always been a huge fan of Superman way back when it was a television series-starring actor George Reeves. Back in the swinging sixties there were two very sexy male actors with the last name Reeves. The first was the seductive muscular Steve Reeves who played Hercules, the Greek son of a Famous Greek God, Zeus and then of course was the handsome George Reeves who portrayed one of the greatest American comic book heroes of all time, Superman. I was approximately six or seven when I first started watching the man of Steel mesmerized by his charismatic physique, piercing blue eyes and intellectual persona. What is it about Superman that every man woman and child finds so ultimately appealing even now in the 21st Century? Do we still need the man of steel, Superman, to save us from ourselves?!

Superman ReturnsFaster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a racing locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look! Up in the sky. It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s Superman! Yes, it’s Superman – strange exotic visitor from another strange off planet who came to Earth with incredible powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman – who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands, and who disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. In the updated version actress Noel Neill and Jack Larson from the original TV series, sat down recently to talk to about their long involvement in the world of Superman… They both make cameo appearances in “Superman Returns,” directed by Bryan Singer, Ms. Neill as a wealthy widow whose deathbed scene is the opening act of the film, and Mr. Larson as a bow-tie-wearing bartender serving drinks to Jimmy Olsen (played this time by Sam Huntington) and Clark Kent. You will also see some footage from the Christopher Reeve Movie with Movie Star Marlon Brando.

The new and improved sexy starlet portraying our beloved Lois lane is none other than movie star Kate Bosworth. American actress Kate Bosworth, who plays the feisty journalist Lois Lane, stole the show from the caped superhero in a daring backless mini-dress at the London Premiere. Another fabulous actress Parker Posey places Kitty the arch villan’s girlfriend to Lex Luther played by Kevin Spacey. Parker looks glamorous, sexy and gorgeous wearing furs, pearls and diamonds throughout the film and delivers some very funny lines as the villain’s mistress to diabolical villain perfectly cast Kevin Spacy’s Lex Luther. Newcomer sexy hunk Brandon Routh now portrays the man of steel and is quoted in a recent interview saying, “I was aware of the great legacy, not only of Superman, but also of Christopher Reeve. He’s the one that made me love Superman, watching him perform.” said Brandon, but he added: “You have to try to imagine what it’s like to be the most powerful person on earth and there’s no room for fear in that.”

I must tell you darlings, after seeing the new and improved “Superman Returns” Actor Brandon Routh does a spectacular job of playing the invisible man of Steel. Everytime I gazed up at the enormous movie screen I felt like an impressionable girl of three going to see her first glamorous blockbuster movie flick. It was also extremely eerie, the resemblance is amazing, both stars, Christopher Reeve and Brandon Routh are 6’4; both are extremely handsome, both have those amazing piercing blue eyes and sexy cleft chin. I will never forget the first time I met and interviewed movie star Legend Christopher Reeve at the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation Gala, “A Magical Evening”.

It was my most favorite celebrity interview of all time. I had the opportunity to talk to Chris about some very important issues concerning spinal cord injury and victims suffering from Paralysis. “Why do your support Therapeutic Cloning?” I asked. Because it is a very important part of Research. I believe Therapeutic Cloning is necessary in order to use patient’s own DNA that is critical to avoid rejection by the immune system” he replied. Can you tell us about the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Act” I inquired, “ Yes that is an act that will blanket the entire country and create rehabilitation research, quality of life grants and medical research for all forms of paralysis he expressed.

To this day he has been my most significant interview with a celebrity ever. Yes darlings, I guess I am still in love with Superman just like every red blooded American Woman.

The director of the film, Donner is convinced that Superman Returns signals the rebirth of the Warner Bros franchise, which has lain dormant from cinema screens for nearly two decades. In this new version a mysterious absence of several years, the Man of Steel comes back to Earth in the epic action-adventure Superman Returns, a soaring new chapter in the saga of one of the world’s most beloved superheroes. While an old enemy plots to render him powerless once and for all, Superman faces the heartbreaking realization that the woman he loves, Lois Lane, has moved on with her life. Or has she? Superman’s bittersweet return challenges him to bridge the distance between them while finding a place in a society that has learned to survive without him. In an attempt to protect the world he loves from cataclysmic destruction, Superman embarks on an epic journey of redemption that takes him from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space.

I recommend all darlings, to see this flick on the big screen. So many of us now buy or rent but this is a true Hollywood Flick you need to see on the big screen. There is just nothing like it darlings, take your kids, take your significant other, buy that $5.00 dollar popcorn indulge and enjoy!!!

At Rachel’s Waterside Grill darlings they not only satisfy your hunger in various subtle and refined ways, but also soothe and stroke your ego.

(Long Island, NY) As usual darlings, I have been extremely busy attending the usual Hamptons soiree. I was honored to be invited this past week to the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center to attend a Benefit Concert for CancerCare on Thursday, July 6th. Prominent renowned lawyer and crooner Len Leeds was the opening act for singer and comedienne the marvelous Marilyn Michaels. Leeds lavishly opened the show demonstrating his clear and sensational talent, even when wearing his crooner hat—was, if anything, an underestimation. Mr. Leeds touched everyone heart present with his velvet crooner voice singing romantic oldie ballads.

In my special and intimate interview with the distinguished Mr. Leeds before his magnificent performance he discussed and revealed to me how important CancerCare is to him. Mr. Leeds was motivated by a client’s strong will to combat her cancer and her strong undeniable will to live. By showing his constant support he decided to make a powerful difference for cancer awareness by writing the incredible emotional love song “Love Will See Us Through”. This amazing song encourages and inspires all to survive the journeys and lessons that life has to offer. It is a song of support, love and amazing hope. A portion of the proceeds of the concert went to funding Cancecare. Mr. Leeds has also lost both parents to Cancer. In our interview he revealed to me that we all are touched and connected somehow through a friend, family or loved one with this dreaded illness.

(Long Island, NY) The 4th July weekend opened with a bang at theaters with the much publicized and highly anticipated film the Devil Wear Prada premiering on June 30th the beginning of the holiday weekend. You can all go and see this wonderful film at the Regal theater now appearing in Southampton.

The movie is based on the novel written by Lauren Weisberger a former employee of Vogue Magazine. Rumor has it darlings that Meryl Streep’s Character the deliciously wicked ruthless Amanda Priestly, Runway’s vicious editor, is really Ana Winotour, Chief Editor of Vogue Magazine. In The Devil Wears Prada I was privileged to be cast as a fashionista and socialite at the Metropolitan Black and White Ball Gala Scene. The actors on the set were styled to wear tuxedos and black, white and silver designer gowns. I wore a black lace Chanel gown with my very own silver mink stole.

Unfortunately my scene is on the cutting room floor but nevertheless it was a joy to be directed by David Frankel (Sex and the City, Entourage) who by my opinion was exceedingly smart to hire one-time Carrie Bradshaw costume designer Patricia Field – it’s the outfits that are really the only competition with stunning Streep for screen time. The clothes are to die for. Every design, every accessory, every gown and every ensemble is simply divine darlings. Bill Blass, Chanel, Valentino and of course Prada are seen throughout this fashionable film. Before going on the set each actor had to be approved by costume designer and stylist Pat Field to make sure that everything was tediously perfect.

I remembered my own little stylish scenario, I had just finished with makeup and then on to wardrobe when I recalled my scene was supposed to be shot but something wasn’t quite right so the wardrobe girl anxiously took me by the hand to get the once over by Pat Field. She took one look at me and said, “Your perfect, now just take that one extra diamond necklace off, and your fine”.

The sets are spectacular and the locations shots are amazing, New York City, Paris are some of the fashionable locations that are scene in the flick.

The premise of the film is about a young naive woman, character Andy Sachs played by doe-eyed brunette actress Anne Hathaway, comes to New York and scores a job as the assistant to one of the city’s biggest magazine editors, the ruthless and cynical Miranda Priestly. Actually Andy is really second assistant 2nd assistant to the Editor-in-Chief, Miranda Priestly (the gorgeous and stunning Streep). By second, I mean she’s gopher #2 behind Emily (a fabulously and hilarious Emily Blunt) – getting coffee, steaks, and occasionally learning how to be a fashionista. She is saved by the bell by Gay Fashion Director Nigel, played by the precious Stanley Tucci, who in my opinion simply steals the show. Tenacious Tucci delivers some really wonderful lines in the film and is very believable. His acting is really superb and the Divine Ms. Streep is perfectly cast as well.

Streep’s Miranda never raises her voice and is calm, collected and cool as ice. Joan Crawford would have been so proud. Stunning Streep portrays the perfect bitch diva boss elegantly dressed in Bill Blass and Prada shoes.
After two days of filming on the set I had the chance to meet and talk to many wonderful actors including the beautiful and stunning Stephanie Szostak who plays French character Jacqueline Follet. I also met and interviewed Actor James Cronin who plays the Ambassador. James’s character leaves his wife for the mistress (I shared a cab wit her and her husband) who he boldly brings to the Fashion Gala. James told me he was hand picked by Director David Frenkel and shares some important lines with Meryl Streep but I will never forget on the last day of shooting the gala scene Actor Tibor Feldman who plays Miranda’s boss Irv Ravitz came over to me and politely introduced himself and replied “I must tell you, out of all the actresses on the set, you have the most outrageous hair, you remind me of my glamorous platinum blond aunt at my Bar Mitzvah.”

A special Premier Screening of the film was held at the Regal Theatre in Southampton on June 24th. Celebrities that attended were Howard Stern, Mayor Julianie and Actor Stanley Tucci who all came to enjoy the film and give their support. After seeing the film, Howard Stern replied great, really great, Major Julianie expressed the acting in the film was superb and my favorite actor in the film Tucci said “Undeniably good movie, not a chick flick, not guy flick just the perfect undeniably good date movie”.

For every fashionista, I highly recommend The Devil Wears Prada. The film by far is the most entertaining sophisticated well-written comedy of the year. The Devil Wears Prada is the perfect little soufflé of fashion, fluffy, light and deliciously decadent and adorably delectable.

(Long Island, NY) I had the privilege this week darlings of interviewing glamorous beauty Pageant winner Mrs. International New York, Yulia Gurtin for my TV show Cognac’s Corner.

(Long Island, N.Y.) The most enchanting dining room in East Hampton is unquestionably CoCo Restaurant in the Maidstone Arms Inn. Its sumptuous setting is perfectly decorated to create a tropical oasis. The décor and menu are strictly Asian-Island theme with spicy dishes, splendicious flowers and exotic orchids that created the perfect setting for my Television Celebrity Interview at the Maidstone Arms Inn.

CoCo recently opened in Mid-February and now occupies the main dining room.

Proprietor Sammy Krasniqi immediately greeted me while escorting my entourage to our exquiste banquette reserved table.

CoCo is charming cozy and intimate. I especially loved our banquette corner surrounded by plush colorful luxurious pillows seated next to the warm glow of the fireplace, just perfect on that chilly summer night.

Dining is fabulous with soft music, skirted elegantly appointed candlelit tables dressed in starched white linen while Chef Sammy is preparing his masterpieces in the kitchen.

During my delightful visit to CoCo my guests and I enjoyed the opulence of flavor in nearly every dish, in harmony with the amplitude of the menu and the spaciousness of the setting.

Fish and seafood play major roles on the menu. The Scrimp is the signature dish at the restaurant. I especially enjoyed the grilled salmon and fried calamari.

They also serve a delicious pasta primavera for vegetable eaters who do not partake in eating beef or fish.

CoCo Restaurant is located in the Maidstone Arms Inn, 207 East Hampton, NY 11937

631-324-5494. Reservations are recommended. Dinner starts at 5:30 pm.

For a romantic, quiet cozy little banquette dining in the corner, I highly recommend CoCo Restaurant.

(Long Island, NY) This week I had the pleasure of doing my TV Show, Cognac’s Corner at the Historical Maidstone Arms Inn in East Hampton.

As we all know darlings, the Hamptons are still the retreat for the Hollywood glamorous elite and fashionable New Yorkers to vacation. Financier Ron Perelman, fashion designer Calvin Klein and Hollywood Producer Steven Spielberg all own residents in East Hampton where they summer on the weekends.

Of course darlings the best way to visit is to own your own summer estate complete with swimming pool and tennis court but if that is not the case the next best thing is staying at Maidstone Arms Inn.

This charming old-world Inn dates back historically to 1740. I adore the elegant French accents combined with classic New England Architecture. The setting is tranquil and very relaxing much like the B&B’s of Connecticut and New Hampshire.

Hotel Managers Gaston Harreguy and Monica Russo immediately greeted me taking care of my every need making sure my celebrity interviews at the Inn went smoothly. The staff was competent and most gracious. The Maidstone Arms Inn is breathtakingly gorgeous. I especially loved the impeccably manicured and beautifully landscaped outdoor garden.

Press Photographer Shane Gritzinger captured the magical moment perfectly. The photos came out just beautiful of my celebrity guest, glamorous Mrs. International New York Yulia Gurtin and myself in the outdoor garden surrounded by all the spectacular flowers, the perfect setting for cocktails and afternoon tea.

The Water Room opens onto the outdoor garden and is the perfect place to chat with friends, play board games, chess and sip my favorite cognac darlings.

The history of the Inn began in the late 1600’s when the early settlers of Maidstone England arrived and settled in East Hampton. The original house was destroyed in a fire in the 1800’s and later rebuilt by the Osbourne family. In the late 1800’s the city dwellers decided to summer in the Hamptons looking for lodging so the Osborne’s decided to take in “paying guests”. In the 1920’s it became a Bed and Breakfast Inn.

In the Mid Twentieth Century the Hamptons grew in popularity as a summer retreat for glamorous movie stars, millionaires, and entertainers bringing with them fabulous restaurants and famous chefs such as famous French Chef Henri Soule and later Michael Field who eventually opened up the Maidstone Arms Inn for several seasoned summers followed by owner Tom Cowman in the late 1960’s.

The Inn is frequented among celebrities Jason Binn from Hamptons Magazine, recording artist Billy Joel and actor Alec Baldwin.

(Long Island, NY) Artists Against Abuse celebrated their 11th annual Gala on Saturday, June 17th at the elegant Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club. This very special event, darlings was catered by Robbins Wolfe Eventeurs. The Retreat honored Dottie Herman, President & CEO Prudential Douglas Ellman for her devoted dedication to the Retreat. August O. Unibe of Sotheby’s Auction house hosted the prestigious auction along with Television Star Joy Behar of ABC-7 “The View”. Guest celebrated this event by first enjoying cocktails then dinner and the Silent Auction began at 9:00 p.m. Their traditional Silent Auction featured specially commissioned hand-painted ceramic plates and a select Live Auction offered original works by prominent names in design, art and entertainment.

Darlings, Press Photographer Champagne Shane Gritzinger from Filmmagic.com was there to cover this impressive Hamptons event. TV Entertainment reporter sexy glamorous, Gina Glickman from News12 was on hand doing her usual intellectual interviewing for the local network and her column “Whispers” for Dans Paper. Glamorous Gina looked fetching with seductive white pants, sparkling silver lame halter-top and finally topping it off with a gorgeous Hamptons Tan. Ms. Glickman never looked lovelier as she interviewed TV Personality Ms. Behar who was complaining she is always being mistaken for The Divine Ms. M (Bette Midler). The celebrity guest at the event were all complaining about the heat that apparently my sources tell me that during the intense interview between Gina and Joy, Joy stopped and yelled out “Will someone please put the F!!!!! Air conditioner on, it’s hot as hell in here”!!!

Other important celebrities that attended were Financier Owain Morgan, Richard Kubick, Marilyn Church, Fred Davis and Sophia Hall.

The Retreat pioneered on the east end of Long Island domestic violence education in schools in 1995. Through the collaborative efforts of staff and Retreat volunteers, a dynamic and progressive domestic violence education program was developed for the elementary, middle and high schools. It was named HEROS DON’T HIT and then HANDS ARE NOT FOR HITTING™ (A wonderful title shared by the Minnesota Coalition of Battered Women with other domestic violence prevention agencies).

To recognize and address important issues in 1998 in the types of violence affecting families with children and adolescents the Retreat renamed their school program The Retreat’s In-School Violence Prevention Education.

To prevent ongoing violence in the homes of adolescent and children lies in the development of internal resources to protect them against violent abuse. When completing a school presentation their staff’s greatest satisfaction is knowing that they were successful in providing students with concrete information to use-if and when necessary.

Until my next celebrity event in the Hamptons darlings,

(Long Island, NY) This Sunday is Fathers Day. How are the celebrities celebrating Fathers day this year? Well first let’s find out how it all began darlings!

Fathers Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June. This special occasion was created for children to honor their Fathers and began in Spokane, Washington. While listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909, a woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd invented the idea for having a special day to honor all Fathers.

After Sonora’s mother died, she was raised by her devoted father Henry Jackson Smart. Sonora’s doting dad made all the parental decisions and sacrifices for his loving daughter. In Sonora’s eyes he was more than just a good father he was her hero, a selfless and courageous man that put his daughter’s needs first. Sonora’s father was born in June so she invented the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane Washington on June 19, 1910.

President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday to be Fathers day in 1924.

Now darlings let us find out how our favorite celebrities are celebrating the big day.

The days are gone by when fatherhood consisted of merely signing an occasional check and reluctantly kicking a football around in the park on a Saturday afternoon. Dads today are hands-on, cool celebrity fathers like Jude Law and Jamie Oliver giving celebrity dads a good name again.

Celebrity devoted fathers are all too happy to be seen pushing a pram and doing the school run, Johnny Vaughan cites the three-wheel buggy as the hottest male accessory, Madonna’s husband, Guy Ritchie thinks nothing of cuddling his little baby Rocco in public and crazy over the top Ozzy Osbourne gives fatherhood a ringing endorsement and whole new meaning for fatherhood, albeit littered with expletives.

The Donald is celebrating his birthday on the golf course. Apprentice Star Donald Trump just celebrated his birthday on June 14th Happy Birthday Donald! “I don’t want a gift, I just want everyone to be healthy and happy for Fathers Day” said The Donald –Happy Fathers Day to the Donald. The Donald will be on the golf course celebrating his Fathers Day with Melania and new baby.

Famous Fashion Designer Calvin Klein still receives a bottle of his favorite cologne from his daughter, would you believe Old Spice.

Hamptons Princess Paris Hilton does what she does every year; she makes her father Rick Hilton his favorite breakfast, chocolate chip pancakes. I want to know darlings, does she clean up the kitchen too after cooking the pancakes? Rick Hilton will also be playing golf.

Puff Daddy prefers to spend time with his kids and the family on Fathers Day. He has such a busy schedule that solid family time is precious to him.

Long Island TV Star and writer Victoria Gotti remembers fondly what her infamous dad always told her, “When you get knocked down kid, pick yourself up, brush yourself off and instead of walking, run!”

Happy Fathers day to all Fathers because you all are celebrities in your own special way!!!
