George Hamilton is a groupie. Maureen Dowd is in here somewhere. James Frey likes smart people. Dr. Ruth is still alive, in a way. And Christie Brinkley wants Bobbi Brown\u2019s book. Hold on, the Uptown Girl is posing for a selfie. Okay she\u2019s back. The age-defying super model joined a record crowd for Authors Night in East Hampton\u2019s Herrick Park Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former CNN anchor has a website called FlowerPowerDaily<\/a> so she\u2019s looking for gardening tomes. \u201cIt\u2019s like catnip. You discover books you may not have known about and meet the authors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
