Don’t worry, Chris Noth, that’s not the ghostly hand
of death reaching for you. It’s just Cindy Adams.Photo: Walter McBride / Retna
At last night’s opening of Mauritius at the Biltmore Theater, Patricia Clarkson confessed a secret. “I never throw away a New Yorker,” she told New York. “I have New Yorkers dating back to the 1980s. I have boxes and boxes.” That sounds so, um, normal, actually. “She does. I know this,” said Chris Noth, passing by. “Not New York Magazine.” Noth also had some harsh words about our recent Bill Clinton–as–First Lady cover. “Your magazine has absolutely no scruples,” he said. “That’s terrible!” You know what else we’re terrible at, according to Noth? Predicting the plot of the Sex and the City movie based on all of the shooting around town. “Have you seen the script?” he asked. “I have. There’s been all this talk of Big and Carrie get married. I’m not going to say yes, or no, but did you see me at the church with Sarah Jessica? No, because I was at the Brooklyn Detention Center shooting Law & Order: Criminal Intent. The pictures everyone’s talking about are me with Charlotte. What does that mean? All I can say is that you people have gotten nothing right.” This makes us feel a lot better about the fact that we never watch Criminal Intent. —Jada Yuan
