Christie Brinkley, with her kids at the Hampton Classic Horse Show yesterday, turned on her heels when she heard that estranged husband Peter Cook and a girlfriend were in the Grand Prix tent. On Sunday, Mayor Bloomberg, Alec Baldwin, Kelsey Grammer and Calvin Klein are expected at the Grand Prix lunch, catered by Robbins Wolfe Eventeurs.

Robert Iler passionately sang along to Journey's "Don't Stop Believing," famously played during the last scene of "The Sopranos," while holding onto his Corona, cigarette and requisite model at Tenjune Wednesday night. Meanwhile, Mickey Rourke had to leave the VIP area to hit on more women because he'd already flirted with everyone around his table. On the floor of the club, Chelsea Handler alternated between comic conversations with Geoffrey Ross and canoodling with an exec from E! Entertainment, home to her show.

Which repeat rehabber helps her hotel staffers earn extra points when they wait on her? The upscale hotels, who require staffers to earn points based on rooms they tend to, get three times the amount to pick up her panties, scores of condoms and tidy up the room after she trashes it.

The arrival of a beautiful baby boy has not eased the bad blood between exes Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady.
The New England Patriots QB flew to Los Angeles by private jet last week for the birth of his son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan.
"Tom was only allowed to see the baby for a short time," says a West Coast spy. "Bridget would not see him herself." Moynahan’s publicist said in a statement: "Bridget is very thankful for a happy baby, excited about being a mother, and very pleased that the father, Tom Brady, was able to be there for the birth."
But our source says: "He was only allowed to come after the baby was born. The woman would not see him, period. And she gave the baby her last name."
The model/actress and Brady split last year after three years of dating. News of the pregnancy emerged just after Brady began a relationship with Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
"[Tom] is waiting to find out when he can see the little guy again," says the snitch. "Bridget is not giving him any slack on this at all."
Yesterday, her spokesman said Brady and Moynahan were "together" at the hospital, but couldn't say if he was in the room during the birth. "Bridget and Tom are on speaking terms and have the best interests of the child at heart," he said.

In a stunning and expensive turnaround, OK! magazine yesterday dumped its Anna Nicole Smith poster boy, Larry Birkhead.
The glossy was to have featured exclusive coverage of baby Dannielynn's first-birthday party as part of a $1.7 million access deal. But bombshell allegations in a book about Birkhead's custody fight with lawyer Howard K. Stern, set to be released next week, caused OK! to cut the relationship.
"My biggest fear is that Larry and Howard may have tricked us all," editor Sarah Ivens said in a statement yesterday. It is strongly rumored that "Blonde Ambition," written by Rita Cosby, will indicate the two men, who both claimed to father the baby, struck a backroom deal.
"The newly obtained allegations are detailed, shocking and potentially incriminating," the magazine's publicist said.
"It makes it impossible for OK!, in good conscience, to promote this family's highly questionable relationship in our pages."

Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson were spotted in business class together on a flight from Miami to Turks and Caicos for a romantic getaway. The couple went through customs together and were whisked off by a private driver.

JULIA Stiles is a good girlfriend. The beauty was spotted this week helping her sweetheart, Jonathan Cramer, install his new geometrical sculpture at 111 Central Park North. "A construction worker asked if she was 'that actress,' " said our spy, who overheard Stiles respond, "No, but I get mistaken for her all the time." Stiles isn't Cramer's only celebrity helper - Josh Lucas did "the dirty work" and "spent all afternoon bolting and holding the 2,000-pound metal sculpture in place," said the insider.

Britney Spears may not be focused on her fashion these days, but she has been working on her musical comeback.
Of primary importance: her collaboration with Criss Angel on an opening act for MTV’s Video Music Awards, which she reportedly presented to network reps on August 27.
(That day, Spears, 25, was seen entering L.A.’s Alley Kat dance studio with manager Jeff Kwatinetz, who, a source says, “is working with Brit on a trial basis.”)
“She’s planning it to be a big comeback performance,” says a Spears insider, who adds that the goal is to make it “shocking.”
One early idea that was canned?
Performing “My Prerogative” amid a medley of hits, as images of exes Justin Timberlake, 26, and Kevin Federline, 29, and other gossip fodder flashed on a screen behind her.
As for a report that she’d do a duet with Timberlake?
“Totally, patently false,” says a Timberlake source.

Now what's the fun of this? Oprah Winfrey and David Letterman will continue their (zzzz) reconciliation this fall when Dave appears on O's big season-opening shows at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Letterman and Oprah were involved in a decade-long snit which came to an end in 2005, when Winfrey appeared on Dave's show. Their lovefest continued when they did a Super Bowl spot together. And now the circle is complete, particularly so because Letterman appears so infrequently on other people's shows. Now if only Oprah would invite Hanson -- who we're told were the most difficult guests ever on the show -- back for an encore.
