Condoleeza And Redford: The Rig Was Rockin'!



The annual Kennedy Center Honors were celebrated last night in Washington. The left and the right forgot about the White House disasters for a night to pay tribute to Robert Redford, Tony Bennett, Julie Harris, Tina Turner, and the ballerina Suzanne Farrell. The five were honored for their lifetime contributions to the arts.

At a dinner for 300 hosted on Saturday by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, even the jaded and well-oiled politicians seemed awe-struck meeting these entertainment icons.

The gossip mill cranked into full gear following the event. Secretary of State Rice and Actor-Producer-Director Redford were seen in numerous close embraces. One reporter at the event said "They were smoldering. They couldn't keep their hands off each other. It got so hot and heavy that other people at their table became extremely uncomfortable." Their departure from the soiree was reportedly like the notorious Angie Dickinson car scene in De Palma's Dressed To Kill.

Another scribe reported seeing the couple emerge from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington this morning "looking extremely disheveled and very happy." He noted further that as Secretary Rice got into a limousine, she and Redford embraced and kissed for several minutes, oblivious to the honking of taxis and limousines behind them.
