Maria Sharapova

 

Maria Sharapova knows that face time with Vogue editrix Anna Wintour trumps hamming it up on the red carpet. Wintour agreed to meet with the tennis hot tie in a private room before Sharapova’s 21st birthday party Tuesday night at Tenjune. A source revealed, “Maria was terrified of being late. She refused to pose for photos or walk the carpet until after she met with Anna.” Once inside, Sharapova hammed it up for Teen Vogue cameras, but Wintour quickly fled the scene.

Gisele Bundchen

 

 
My sources on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills were a little confused one recent morning when they saw Gisele Bundchen sitting in a car with Sylvester Stallone. “Tom Brady was nowhere around and there were no paparazzi. It was an odd couple,” said a source. But a pal said, “They were shooting a Volkswagen commercial for Brazil.”

Bernadette Peters and “Hot Flashes”

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Hello darlings, welcome back to Cognac’s Corner Magazine.

Bernadette Peters

 

 

 
A very important blog reading will have to do without Bernadette Peters. The star, 60, was scheduled to read excerpts tonight from Mimi Schmea’s blog, “Hot Flashes,” about a divorced woman going through menopause, but her agents canceled almost at the last minute. A source revealed “Three weeks ago, Bernadette agreed to do the reading because the blog is being considered for a TV show. She said she would do it, and then quit after they publicized the show using her name.” A spokesperson for “Hot Flashes” said, “Bernadette canceled on Friday. We were stunned.” A source said Peters’ camp was not happy when the reading – originally scheduled as a small-venue production – was moved to Ultra Lounge on West 26th Street. But a rep for Peters blamed “scheduling conflicts.” The show will go on, however, with Amy Brenneman, Kim Raver, Jessica Hecht and Daphne Rubin-Vega.

Kathy Najimy should leave the table-dancing to Paris Hilton. The curvy comic hit Butter last night and got so wild, she climbed on a tabletop and began to shimmy. “It was ridiculous,” said our spy. “She was out of control, her friends had to get her down.” Najimy stopped by the hot spot with pals Richard Kind, “LateNet” host Ray Ellin and Matthew Perry, who picked up a brunette “model-type” immediately after walking in. The group stayed until nearly closing time.
