The “Sex and the City” starlet smiled for the shutterbugs outside the Pierre Hotel in a snazzy white jacket with black pattern overtop a similarly-styled blue and black dress.
Meanwhile, Mr. Cohen hammed it up with Jack Wilbert and Nicole Purcell ahead of the star-studded action inside.

HollywoodNews.com: From The Hollywood Reporter: Henry Holt announced Monday it has acquired the rights to Bravo Executive Vice President and late night host Andy Cohen‘s untitled memoir.
The book will use Cohen’s life-long love of pop culture and entertainment as a focus to tell the story of his journey from a closeted gay teen growing up in 1970s suburban St. Louis to a multi-hyphenate cable television powerhouse. Publication is scheduled for summer 2012.
In a statement announcing the deal, Holt’s president and publisher Stephen Rubin said: “Anyone who sees what Andy Cohen has achieved at Bravo knows the guy is a marketing genius. What nobody knows as of yet, is that Andy is also a very seductive and compelling writer with a story to tell that will charm, shock and engage readers with its candor, honesty, and wit.

Over the past four decades, Rob Lowe has had many roles: teen heartthrob, twenty-something ringleader of the Brat Pack, Deputy Communications Director on The West Wing, and now, author. In his first book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends: An Autobiography (Henry Holt ) Lowe chronicles his formative years as a child actor in Ohio through his string of 80s hits (St. Elmo’s Fire, Youngblood, Square Dance) to his latest stint on the television series Parks and Recreation. In the excerpt below (presented in extended form in Vanity Fair’s May issue), the actor recalls first crossing paths with co-star and “hero” Matt Dillon during rehearsals for The Outsiders. Listen to the podcast after the jump. Correction: an earlier version of this article misstated the title of Lowe's character on The West Wing. He played Sam Seaborn, the White House Deputy Communications Director, not Deputy Chief of Staff.

If there isn't at least one chapter dedicated to nannies, sex tapes and prematurely leaving TV shows, we want our money back. Rob Lowe is joining the new fleet of celebrities with memoirs in the works, and is set to release his tome, Stories I Only Tell My Friends, through Henry Holt and Co. in May 2011. The 46-year-old's book—which the publisher optimistically boasts will actually be written by Rob himself, not a ghostwriter—is being described as a "mid-career meditation on his four decades as an actor," and will wax nostalgic on his "misunderstood" childhood in Ohio, his foray into the "rough counter culture free-for-all" that was mid-seventies Malibu, his time as a teen...

It looks like James Cameron might have to start the search again for the next project to get him a hat trick at the top of the box office list - his plans to adapt Charles Pellegrino's historical tome The Last Train From Hiroshima for the big screen look bleak now that Pellegrino's book has been pulled from publication after questions arising as to the veracity of the novel.
Although the book has seen healthy early sales and has garnered good reviews, Pellegrino's publishers, Henry Holt, have halted the book's run after the Associated Press raised concerns about one of his interview subjects, who falsely claimed to have been on board the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. It also now appears that the problems may run deeper, as the book's two key figures - Father Mattias, who allegedly lived in the city at...

Bad news for those interested in the idea of James Cameron directing a film about the Hiroshima bombing: The project may be scrapped, due to controversy over potential inaccuracies in the non-fiction book upon which it’s based.
According to Charles Pellegrino, the author of "The Last Train From Hiroshima", one of his interviewees apparently falsely claimed to be on the Enola Gay, the U.S. plane which dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945.
Meanwhile, publisher Henry Holt and Company has been unable to find records of two characters in the book: Father Mattia, who lived in Hiroshima during the bombing; and a Jesuit scholar named John MacQuitty.
There have also been questions raised about whether Pellegrino received a Ph.D. from Victoria University of Wellington, as he had claimed.
"It is easy to understand how even the most diligent author could be duped by a source, but we...
