Mazel tov to 59-year-old Fox News star Geraldo Rivera -- who will wed his 28-year-old girlfriend, television producer Erica Levy, at New York's historic Central Synagogue on Aug. 10, The Post's Christine Haughney reports.
"You can't be my age and getting married and not be an optimist," Rivera, the son of a Jewish mother and Puerto Rican father, told us yesterday. He noted that he had been to the altar four times previously and had four children to show for it.
"I don't know, maybe there will be one more with Erica," he said. He added that "hundreds of people" -- including Bill and Hillary Clinton, former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a top Palestinian official, the foreign minister of Afghanistan and various U.S. military commanders from Iraq -- have been invited to the Reform Jewish ceremony and the reception at the Four Seasons restaurant.
"I was not only bar mitzvahed; I was confirmed. But this is actually my first 'church' wedding, as opposed to some hippie thing in a back yard," Rivera said. "I'm making a conscious decision to take this whole Judaism thing seriously. I think the Jews need me right now." WashPost
O, Canada! Is there a Bubba/Belinda brouhaha in Toronto?
Canadian society is all atwitter with rumors former President Bill Clinton may be involved in more than a friendship with wealthy socialite Belinda Stronach, 37. The press is going ape over word Stronach is divorcing Johann Olav Koss, her Olympian speed-skating Norwegian hubby of three years.
The chat: Stronach, whose father runs Magna International, has played golf with Bubba, dined with Bubba and reportedly looks like a young Hillary.
The tittle tattle began last September when the two "B's" both attended a fete at Toronto's Four Seasons Hotel and got people wondering if they were an item. The flip side: The Stronaches have reportedly been in talks with Clinton about his library and foundation . . . but more than that, who knows? Chicago Sun-Times
