Lunch at Michael's: a filmy booky day

The headliner today was Barbara Walters, of course. It was a very filmy-booky crowd there otherwise.

Table 1: Author/poet Nancy Holmes was with the founder of Worth's W. Randall Jones, the head of the Financial Times and others.

5: (Michael Wolff's table) Barbara Walters, with Annette de la Renta.

G: Uber agent Binky Urban smoochy-smooched Barbara Walters before departing for her own table. She was with someone we couldn't identify. (Someone help out here!)

7: AMI Chief Editorial Director Bonnie Fuller, Star Publisher Michelle Myers and Thea Breen from Estee Lauder.

8 (his regular table by the door): David Patrick Columbia, New York Social Diary, with a well-coiffed woman in peach jacket with huge white bead necklace. Which socialite this week?

B: Eva Collingsworth, in a long white tunic-y top (very fetching) with Joe Armstrong.

2: Bernie Young was with hotel tycoon Jerry Inzerillo. He was bouncing all around the room greeting friends everywhere.

4: Former Conde Nast'er Jon Brunelle with three other people.

11- Jane Hansen, former WNBC Anchor, with Peter O. Price , National President for NATAS.

20- Fern Mallis executive director of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) with Jaqui Lividini, former senior vice-president of fashion and merchandising for Saks Fifth. She is currently a marketing
and branding consultant, partnering with Jason Weisenfeld, formerly of Versace. She was seated very near her ex-husband, hotel tycoon Jerry.

F: Deb Shriver, head of Corp Communications for Hearst Magazines, was with someone who I couldn't pin down.

17: Jamie Niven with someone else.

16- Katherine Oliver commissioner of the mayor's Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting, with bag designer CeCe Cord (we believe), and someone else in finance, Tony Alysseh.

21- Steve Cohen, CBS News Early Show, with Nanci Ross of the Early Show and the president of Gray Line, Tom Lewis.

26- Ashley Schiff, Rubenstein & Associates with Jonathan Capehart, former anchor of Bloomberg, now at Hill & Knowlton.

19: mediabistro.com's editor in chief Elizabeth Spiers with aging wunderkind and Executive Editor of Simon & Schuster Geoff Kloske

27: Food Network exec (also the first pres of CNN!) Reese Schonfeld with someone we don't know.

15 (David Hirshey's table, aka The Bookish Table): Jack Romanos, President & CEO of Simon & Schuster with someone we don't know. Tell us!

22: Tony (?) with Meryl Poster, former pres of Miramax.

25: Bill Reilly, former head of Primedia with a gentleman.

J: Stuart Zakim Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications at American Media Inc., drinking white wine with Men's Fitness Editor in Chief Neal Boulton, who was quaffing a greyhound. He was a bit hyped up. He had just jetted in from LA, he told us, where he had met with Sly. (Boulton's working on Sly magazine).

K: My table. I was with Evan Strome and Jason Ressler, filmmakers working on a Sid Bernstein documentary.

Back room sightings:
Mop-headed Richard Rubenstein with activist investor Donald Zilkha and someone else.

Dan Doctoroff, deputy mayor for econ development. We THINK he was there; could have been a doppelganger.

Jeffrey Sharp, founding partner of Hart Sharp Entertainment.

Seen: Fran Weissler, Broadway producer

IF you were at Michael's today (or any day) and would like to report in, or correct the record, please email LaurelT AT mediabistro.com (also, please send us table numbers!)
