Whether or not Herman Cain had an on-again, off-again consensual affair with Atlantan Ginger White (which he didn't!) is none of our business. But people, this coordinated conspiracy against our next president has to stop! Cain's already said he's "reassessing" his entire campaign, and now he's cancelled a private dinner sponsored by Post columnist Cindy Adams. That Rockette costume that he was supposed to wear is NON-REFUNDABLE people! more ›

Michelle Paige Paterson, the former first lady of New York, is writing a memoir and it sounds like it could be a good 'un. The wife of Governor David Paterson—who helped kick off his curious term with his-and-her admissions of infidelities—tells Cindy Adams the book will cover it all from her first husband and divorce, to Paterson's sudden rise to power ("His first words were, 'I think I'll kill myself.' And I answered, 'Then who will be governor?'") to her return to private life. more ›

Nearly a week after former Alaska Governor and possible 2012 contender Sarah Palin's Q&A with the Long Island Association, the Post's Cindy Adams offers up her observations: "Her advance team had pre-prepped everything ... except maybe for the fact that she'd be seated on a raised platform. The short, tight skirt crept up. Nice knees up to nice thighs smack at our eyeball height." more ›

Post columnist Cindy Adams paid a visit to corrupt former NYPD commissioner Bernie Kerik at his New Jersey home, just days before yesterday's sentencing. It's pretty engrossing stuff, especially if you enjoy reading about arrogant, self-serving public officials brought to their greedy knees. To pass the time during home confinement, Kerik's been working on a novel (with a ghost writer) about terrorists. And when he gets out of prison he plans to "maybe try counseling. Teaching that the lessons learned are you can't cut corners." Perhaps the hardest part about all this is the way people he thought were his friends, like Rudy Giuliani, have completely abandoned him: more ›

Even though he hasn't officially declared his Senate candidacy yet, Harold Ford has been on a very strange charm offensive the past couple weeks, with a bonanza of increasingly weird insults and interviews alike. Following "his handlers" trading jabs with potential rival Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Ford sat down with the Post's own Woodward-in-residence Cindy Adams for a brief chat in a Brooklyn coffeehouse, in which the "New Yorker at heart" told her "New York is a city of transients," and described some of he and his wife's favorite haunts: "And we both love our neighborhood. Places like Rosa Mexicana, Starbucks, BLT Fish or, after church, First Presbyterian on 12th and Fifth, it's Big Daddy's on Park and 20th. They do great fried chicken." Jeez, I wonder if he travels to Starbucks via helicopter too. more ›

Post gossip columnist Cindy Adams attended Governor David Paterson's holiday fundraiser and offered up a zinger from the beleaguered head of the state that shows how much he really loves the State Legislature. And by love, we mean despise. more ›

Newlywed Ivanka Trump emailed Daily Intel to dispute details that the Post's Cindy Adams spilled—like the flyer for Trump golf properties allegedly in the wedding invite—about her nuptials to Jared Kushner, "Cindy Adams neither attended nor was invited to my wedding, and her story was filled with various inaccuracies, including those about the weather and the 'marketing flyer' included in the invitation, which were both easily fact-checkable. My wedding was a private, perfect occasion, the memories from which I will treasure for a lifetime." Adams admits she wasn't there but adds, "Half of the guests called me afterward" and insists "A lot of people got" the marketing flyer. We bet Adams had moles at the NYC reception, which is at the Puck Building tonight. more ›

A couple of days ago, NY Post columnist Cindy Adams made her opinion of the Times Square chairs be known, saying loud and clear in her headline: "It's Broadway—Not Rockaway!" She went on, saying "the hallway to the Street of Dreams is now Beach 34th Street? What's next? Sand? A boardwalk?" She's worried that the tourists will now only see "Sprawling, bused-in out-of-towners with Coke cans and brown paper bags flat out on camp chairs noshing and burping and snoozing and playing checkers in the center of the capital of the world." more ›

Bartelstein is Back Steve Bartelstein will be back on anchoring starting Saturday morning on WCBS alongside Mary Calvi. It was back in September when he revealed to the Post’s Cindy Adams that CBS made overtures to him on the day he was fired from WABC - and that he had testicular cancer. He’ll also be doing some reporting for the station as his health permits. Bartelstein made his first appearance on the station on yesterday’s... more ›

Back in March, WABC anchor Steve Bartelstein was fired from the morning and noon local newscasts after a series of incidents, including arguing with co-anchor and missing broadcasts. In today’s Post, Bartelstein, now freed from contractual restrictions about speaking out, tells Cindy Adams that he has been suffering from testicular cancer and is undergoing treatments. more ›

NJ Governor Jon Corzine told reporters that he will not use his e-mail anymore as NJ Republicans have filed a lawsuit demanding that Corzine's e-mails with ex-girlfriend and NJ union leader Carla Katz be made public. Corzine said, "We’ll go back to the 1920s, and have direct conversations with people." We'll guess his staff is also getting him books on Morse Code, smoke signals, and sending messages in bottles. more ›

Carla Katz is a smart lady. After, well, years of speculation about her relationship with NJ Governor Jon Corzine and the recent revelation that Corzine gave her a settlement worth $6 million after they broke up, Katz, an influential union leader, decided to talk. And she spoke to none other than the Post's Cindy Adams. more ›

. She had this to say on Friday in her column (after offering the caveat that she's not a film critic): "It's lousy. Slow-moving and formulaic....New Yorkers infuse such pain and emotion into 9/11 that, for now, absolutely nothing could project onto a screen what still rips at our entrails. I hoped to speak about this with Oliver, who has always seemed a brilliant moviemaker, but his handlers are moving him around with a tweezer. Must be, like on that actual day itself, they, too, can smell death." Ouch! more ›

So it seems director Oliver Stone has begun on his untitled 9/11 film, which starts shooting in NYC sometime mid-October. Stone promises the film "will be a 'positive' story," focusing on two Port Authority cops -- one played by Nicholas Cage -- trapped under the rubble of the WTC, and not the politics sorrounding the event. On CNN Showbiz Tonight, Cage explained how the film intends to treat the story as responsibly and ethically as possible: "This is not an exploitive movie. This is not in any way an action film.It’s a true story based on fact... And it is very positive about the human condition, and that is what drew Oliver to it and it’s the kind of movie he does the best...I don’t even think you’re going to see the buildings in the movie actually." more ›

different that it's not falling under the indie rock category. They have been known to pack houses, start sets with instrumentals and have surely dazzled even the most disaffected looking hipster with their slightly obscure-lyrics and melodic tunes. There's a spectrum here in the music world, and they are spanning it and breaking beyond any boundaries that were previously set. The guys were even kind enough to let us ask them some questions this week...let's hear it for brevity! more ›

Gothamist also thinks that David Gest looks freakily like the US military-reconstructed Odai Hussein, which leads us to believe that bad plastic surgeons=middling US morticians (we know good morticians' work - we've seen Six Feet Under). more ›

And they seemed so happy! Sigh, another storybook romance turned separation. Poor Liza. Man, is this what happens when Michael Jackson is best man and Elizabeth Taylor is matron of honor? And Cindy Adams is one of the bridesmaids? And David Hasselhoff and Gene Simmons are on the invite list? Maybe Gothamist is wrong in thinking that those things actually line up to summon the devil, Ninth Gate style. Maybe there was just too much passion in that marriage. more ›
