Larry KramerSouthampton Hospital’s AIDS Clinic--- The Southampton Hospital will host a celebration to benefit and commemorate the Hospital's new Rose Walton Care Services at David E. Rogers, MD Center on Saturday, June 18, at 4 p.m. at Guild Hall's John Drew Theatre in East Hampton. A theatrical presentation will feature renowned playwright and author Larry Kramer, whose hit revival of "The Normal Heart," won the Tony Award this weekend. He was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for "The Destiny of Me" (1992), an Academy Award Nominee for "Women in Love" (1969), and a two-time recipient of the Obie Award.
In 1981, he co-founded the Gay Men's Health Crisis, the largest private organization in the world assisting people living with AIDS. His political activism extended to the founding of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) in 1987, a protest organization widely credited with changing public health policy and widespread perception of people living with AIDS and awareness of HIV/AIDS.
Also appearing will be fellow playwright Terrence McNally, an Emmy winner and four-time recipient of the Tony Award, among numerous other accolades. McNally has dozens of writing credits for stage, musical theater, opera, film and television spanning more than four decades of work. He is currently represented on Broadway with the smash musical “Catch Me If You Can” for which he wrote the book.

Bethenny FrankelIs Reality star Bethenny Frankel looking to be the next Oprah?
Word on the street is that Reality star Bethenny Frankel has taped a pilot for a talk show to be aired on Bravo. Everyone knows that she wants to move away from her reality show roots and get into something with a little bit more credibility. She’s already a millionaire having snagged some $120 million for her Skinny Girl brand of products. She’s getting some serious help from Ellen DeGeneres who announced on her show that she is working with Bethenny. Not surprisingly. Bethenny’s show is being produced by Telepictures – same as Ellen.
