A plane toting a streamer reading “BI-DONE!” soared over a star-studded fundraiser in the Hamptons Saturday where the President was rubbing elbows with big-time Democratic donors. The opinionated aircraft flew from Montauk to Sag Harbor — made famous last week by Justin Timberlake’s DWI arrest — making sure to sweep past the ritzy event at the home of hedge-fund billionaire Barry Rosenstein and his wife Lizanne. Sources told The Post that a local Republican donor paid for the banner. Whether Biden himself saw the message is another story — he and First Lady Jill Biden spent the afternoon schmoozing with...

Biden is gearing up for a big-money fundraiser with mega-donors in the Hamptons on Saturday — ignoring calls for him drop out of the 2024 presidential after a catastrophic debate performance. Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will head off from La Guardia airport at noon to a reception in East Hampton, NY, hosted by hedge-fund billionaire Barry Rosentein and his wife Lizanne. The event kicks off at 2:45 at their sprawling 18-acre ocreanfront estate in the exclusive Long Island enclave.

Sarah Jessica Parker is over the criticism she and her “Sex and the City” co-stars have received for how their physical appearances have changed as they’ve gotten older. “There’s so much misogynist chatter in response to us that would never. Happen. About. A. Man.,” Parker, 56, told Vogue in an accompanying interview for her December cover shoot. “’Gray hair, gray hair, gray hair. Does she have gray hair?’” Parker is referring to the pics of her rocking her natural gray locks that went viral after she was spotted having lunch with friends in July. “I’m sitting with Andy Cohen, and...

Several Hollywood celebrities are pushing New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to eliminate the wage difference between hourly employees and tipped workers like waitresses and bartenders. Sarah Jessica Parker, Michelle Williams, Amy Poehler and Amy Schumer are among the more prominent actresses pushing the proposal. But, not suprisingly the waitresses have written a letter to the celebrities, telling them "no thanks." New York Times: Waitresses and other servers are resisting the proposal, saying they can make more money from tips and do not need celebrities to help protect them from harassment. Harassment is a real concern, they say, but so...

obin Givhan, as our Tim Graham described her last year, is "the liberal political columnist who plays fashion writer at The Washington Post." As Graham earlier observed, Givhan is "best known to many as Michelle Obama's worshipful accessory to fashion." And so—as you might expect—in her column this week, Givhan was unwilling to criticize the, shall-we-say, controversial fashion choices that Michelle Obama made for her book-tour appearance with Sarah Jessica Parker earlier this week. Have a gander and judge for yourself Michelle's ensemble of "a full-length, draped, shimmery yellow shirt dress with a pair of gold, holographic thigh-high boots." ,/B>You...

Did you happen to catch America’s big talent show yesterday? No, I don’t mean American Idol or The Voice.  I note, however, that in both cases the white boys won, despite the fact they were not the most talented. Talk about a war on women; the Republicans obviously found a way to suppress the votes.Nor am I talking about the mid-morning talent show where BO demonstrated his two most awesome talents, teleprompter reading and dancing – simultaneously! Wow! When Big Guy humbly noted back in 2008 “Harry, I have a gift,” I bet even old Harry had no idea how...

As of right now, Bill de Blasio is the man to beat in the race to be the next mayor of New York City. The latest polls put him at 43%, which is enough to avoid a run-off in the Democratic primary, and it is widely believed that whoever wins the Democratic primary will sail into office. For the most part, sitting mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has stayed out of the race, but in an extensive interview with New York Magazine the term-limited Independent ripped de Blasio's campaign as "class-warfare and racist":

Despite the best efforts of a compliant media to puff up the alleged star power of the Preezy of the United Steezy, the entertainment industry gloss on his most recnet high profile fundraiser in New York turns out to have been rather dull. Roger Friedman of Showbiz 411 reports: "Unless celebrities were invisible or shipped in from the roof through a chimney, the Obama fundraiser at Sarah Jessica Parker's house last night was not so star-studded. From every report filed, the main star who attended was Meryl Streep. Unless, she's suddenly changed her entire past practice of political donorship, it's...

(LA Times) -- President Obama came to the right person to raise money Thursday night: “Sex and the City” icon Sarah Jessica Parker. In one memorable episode, she said (as Carrie), “I like my money right where I can see it -- hanging in my closet.” The president probably would prefer it in his campaign coffers. At the Manhattan home of Parker and her husband, Matthew Broderick, Obama raised about $2 million, with 50 people paying $40,000 each to attend.

Sarah Jessica Parker is inviting people to go to her house on 6-14 for a fundraising dinner for Obama. She says he ended the war in Iraq. Oops, he was against the surge and the war would have dribbled on forever. She is proud that Obama allowed people to marry anyone they want. As if everyone believes in gay marriage and encourages it. Sarah Jessica also says that Obama created four million new jobs. Instead we lost four million jobs. And then she went on to say that we need him and he needs us. What do we need him...

GOP Attacks Celebrity Support For Obama By David Nakamura June 4 President Obama dined last month with 150 guests at George Clooney’s California cottage. He exchanged quips in January with Spike Lee in the director’s New York City townhouse. Last fall, Obama entertained megastar Lady Gaga, who was seated in the front row of a Silicon Valley fundraiser in six-inch heels and a towering blond bouffant. Obama’s popularity with Hollywood glitterati is again on display as his campaign mobilizes its vast fundraising apparatus to amass cash in a campaign that is shaping up to be the most expensive in U.S....

The Obama campaign tonight aired its first national TV ad of the election cycle — a 30-second spot on the MTV Network that features actress Sarah Jessica Parker plugging President Obama’s record and soliciting donations for a campaign sweepstakes. “OK, the guy who ended the war in Iraq; the guy who says you should be able to marry anyone you want; the guy who created 4 million new jobs. That guy — President Obama — and his wife Michelle are coming to my house for dinner on June 14th,” Parker says to camera. “And I want you to be there...

Sex and the City" star Sarah Jessica Parker is borrowing a tactic from the George Clooney fundraising book, planning a campaign dinner for President Barack Obama and offering a chance to win two tickets with $3 online donations. Parker, who is married to actor Matthew Broderick, sent an email to supporters and appeared in an advertisement on Sunday's MTV Movie Awards telling people of the online donations and tickets to the affair at her New York home. "I'm hosting this event on June 14th because there is so much at stake this year and I want to keep doing what...

Email just received from Sara Jessica Parker: Friend -- It's my honor to invite you to take part in an event I'm hosting at my home with the President and First Lady on June 14th. If you can make a donation of any amount today, you'll be automatically entered to win two tickets to New York to join us. Just before Election Day in 2008, I went to an Obama campaign office in New York and called some undecided voters. I believed then, as I do now, that if we all chipped in and did our part, we would not...
