Geraldo Rivera with new wife Erica
|
A potpourri of celebs, politicos, athletes, and society, decked out in Western gear, sidled up to the bar at “Wild, Wild West,” the Celebrity Gala and Poker Night at Jean-Georges’ V Steakhouse in the Time Warner Center. The shindig, benefiting the Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research Foundation, also celebrated Rita Cosby’s 40th b’day. The FOX News Channel anchor was honored for her charitable commitment to the Foundation by Nobel Prize winner and Foundation Director Dr. Paul Greengard, and graciously endured a light birthday roasting.
The guest list featured boldnames including: Dr. Henry Kissinger, Don King, Evander Holyfield, Michael Bolton, Geraldo Rivera (there with his much younger fifth wife, Erica), Don Trump Jr., Stephen Baldwin, Jaid Barrymore, Buzz Aldrin, the infamous “OJ Simpson houseguest” Brian “Kato” Kaelin, John Tesh, Foundation Vice Prez and COO Mary Asta, Tina Louise, RFR’s Richard Farley, Jocelyne Wildenstein and Lloyd Klein, Mickey Sherman, Commerce Bank’s Susan Petree and Barbara von Borstel, Howard Winkler, Douglas Elliman realtor Sheri Jedell, Betsy McCaughey, Jimmy Nederlander Jr., and New York Post Columnist of the Year Andrea Peyser.
It was a Who’s Who of Cosby’s interview subjects, and a group so diverse that we at The Sheet would not have been surprised to see Michael Jackson moonwalk through the crowd!
