Julianne Moore showing her support for Gigi Levangie Grazer at a party to celebrate the release of her fourth novel, “Queen Takes King” at MR CHOW TriBeCa on Thursday night. Moore joked “I could have been Gracie Pollock!” (the role Debra Messing played in “The Starter Wife” television show based on the character, Gracie Pollock, in the book.)
In Gigi Levangie Grazer’s novel “The Starter Wife,” the spouse of a Hollywood magnate has to figure out what to do when her husband leaves her for Britney Spears. In her new novel, “Queen Takes King,” the action takes place on Park Avenue — 740 Park, to be exact — where a woman has to figure out what to do when she learns on Page Six that her husband of 25 years is having an affair with a morning show anchor. The saga in the book appears to be inspired by the divorce of Les and Nancy Moonves, but the CBS honcho is taking it in stride. He showed up to Grazer’s book party at MR CHOW in TriBeCa on Thursday with his new wife, Julie Chen, and Grazer swore that all is well. “He’s my muse,” Grazer admitted, as Julianne Moore, Amanda Hesser and Candace Bushnell mingled nearby. “I’m forever grateful to Mr. Moonves.”
Divorce will never have looked better on a woman than it will tonight at MR CHOW in TriBeCa, where novelist and screenwriter Gigi Levangie Grazer is celebrating the release of her fourth book, “Queen Takes King.” The statuesque redhead, whose divorce from “Da Vinci Code” producer Brian Grazer was finalized in May, netting her $13 million, will also have a party on Saturday at the Southampton home of Rita Schrager, ex-wife of hotelier Ian Schrager.

MR CHOW has been known as THE place to see-and-be seen in Beverly Hills since 1974, and shows no signs of letting up. The ultra-modern dining room fits hungry guests clamoring to dine on the many authentic Chinese classic dishes the kitchen offers up. In honor of [213]’s annual restaurant guide, Mr. and Mrs. Chow, the dynamic co-restaurateurs, spoke with us to discuss their thoughts on running the incredibly successful CHOW franchise, now found in cities across the world (and soon to be in many more).
Throughout the last century, round glasses have been associated with celebrated architects, literary stars and intellectual thinkers — Philip Johnson, Le Corbusier, Dominick Dunne, Gandhi — almost all of them men and rarely a figure noted for his cutting-edge personal style, unless you count Mr. Chow.
