Red haired Rumer Willis, 22, is multitasking in New York. She’s smoking a cigarette, carrying one dog in her coat, and walking the other on a leash in Central Park. She’s currently performing in the off-Broadway production of “Love, Loss, & What I Wore.” The play, written by Nora and Delia Ephron, is a series of funny vignettes involving women and fashion, and Rumer will be appearing until April 24.

PEE WEE HERMAN IS GRATEFUL TO HIS LOYAL FANS

Pee Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) came out of the backstage door at the Stephen Sondheim Theater on Broadway with a megaphone to thank all his fans for supporting him through good times and bad. “The Pee Wee Herman Show” opened to great reviews – the New York Times described Pee Wee as “a human exclamation point” and the show as “a bubble bath of nostalgia.” (We can picture the audience full of ageing hipsters and parents with children.) After a 20 year pause, the show has Pee Wee entering the world of computers. What could be more fun for the Christmas season?

THE SHOW WENT ON WITHOUT SCAREDY-CAT LUCY LIU

“Charlie’s Angels” star Lucy Liu, who’s currently performing on Broadway in “God of Carnage,” just earned herself the label “ pampered Hollywood actress.” According to Michael Riedel in the New York Post, Lucy was the ONLY Broadway actor who was too cowardly to go onstage Saturday night during the bomb scare. She panicked after talking to police outside the theater, and her UNDERSTUDY stepped up and went on with the other actors in the show.

At first glance it’s almost difficult to recognize Catherine Zeta-Jones. She’s looking slim and pretty – the rigors of Broadway where she’s appearing onstage in “A Little Night >Music “ is keeping her trim. She’s also probably worried about her husband Michael’s son Cameron and his drug charges.

Katie Holmes has been worried about ticket sales for her Broadway debut in All My Sons on September 18 – they’ve been selling slower than anticipated. (Although why SHE should feel solely responsible for ticket sales is a mystery.) Be that as it may, opening night will be a celebrity extravaganza! She and Tom are inviting all their A-list pals like The Beckhams, Oprah Winfrey, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Lopez, and Will Smith and Jada. Plus Tom’s Scientology pals will be there – John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Jenna Elfman etc. At first Katie was nervous about all those famous faces in the audience but now she’s thrilled that the play will be off to a big start.
