Influential radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh showed up at the after party for a screening of HBO's Bernard and Doris, venturing deep into enemy terriory with pal and NY Post columnist Cindy Adams. From Daily Musto:

''Only in New York,'' murmured writer Gay Talese, a reference to the fact that Rush was with my friend and dictator, glamorous Post gossip Cindy Adams. As I reached for my Oxycontin, The View's Joy Behar told me, ''I said to Cindy, He's the perfect date for you. He's deaf!'' ''She said 'Bitch' and walked off.'' All in fun, mind you.

The Huffington Post has Joy Behar's own peculiar perspective on the mini-contretemps:

Joy: ''All of a sudden this humongous person comes up to me, from the left, a famous person -- big guy -- and snuggles and nestles my neck. Hello, Joy! And gives me the big kiss ... squeezed me to death also.''
