It started two hours after the Clintons landed in Martha's Vineyard, with a 53rd birthday party for the President given by First Friends Ann and Vernon Jordan and featuring such Vineyard A-listers as the Washington Post's Katharine Graham and Miramax co-chief Harvey Weinstein. It continued last weekend in the Hamptons, where Hurricane Hillary and her husband swept in on Saturday to be feted by Robert De Niro and designer Vera Wang, among others...

But Warner Bros. co-CEOs Robert Daly, 62, and Terry Semel, 56, struck some as oddly distracted. Moments before the screening, producer Paula Weinstein found Semel alone in an empty lobby, where the two reminisced about a previous Kubrick premiere.
