ROBERT Kraft introduced his new eye-doctor girlfriend, Dana
Blumberg, to New York and Hamptons society at the Apollo in the
Hamptons bash on Saturday.
The New England Patriots owner, 78, took the blond NYC opthalmol-
ogist, 45, to the starry fund-raiser where tickets cost up to $250,000 per
table. The couple was spotted dancing along to performers, including
the Dave Matthews Band.
Blumberg was first seen holding hands with the billionaire while they
watched the French Open men’s final between Rafael Nadal and
Dominic Thiem in Paris in June.
And the couple was again seen in the stands at the Women’s World
Cup soccer finals in Paris the following month, watching Team USA
defeat the Netherlands 2-0.
Onlookers told us that Kraft and Blumberg arrived together at the
Apollo bash at billionaire Ronald Perelman’s Hamptons estate Satur-
day night and mingled with guests, including Jerry and Jessica Sein-
feld and Spike Lee.Kraft and his former longtime girlfriend, Ricki Lander, broke up ear-
lier this year, after he got caught up in a Florida prostitution sting. Kraft
has strongly denied soliciting prostitution and has since returned to
public life while the Florida case is ongoing.
At the Apollo bash Saturday, Kraft and Blumberg were seen chatting
with Jon Bon Jovi as they joined other guests, including Netflix boss
Ted Sarandos, uber-agent Ari Emanuel and actress Connie Britton
to watch a surprise appearance by Run-DMC at the gig produced by
Mark Ronson.
Woody Harrelson joined the Dave Matthews Band on “Play That
Funky Music,” while Jamie Foxx, Ronson and Patti LaBelle gave a
raucous performance of “Uptown Funk.”
The Black Eyed Peas, the Isley Brothers, Maggie Rogers, Pharrell
Williams and Jon Bon Jovi also performed alongside the Roots on-
stage.
Since its inception in 2010, the annual Apollo in the Hamptons event
has raised nearly $30 million for the famed Harlem theater.ABC President Karey Burke
says she has not spoken to Con-
stance Wu since the actress pub-
licly expressed her disappointment
that her show “Fresh Off the Boat”
was renewed, tweeting “Ugh.
F - - k.” “I was happy that she apolo-
gized,” Burke said at the Television
Critics Association press day, re-
ports the Wrap. “I’ve had no fur-
ther conversations with Constance... I will see her at the table read.
We have ongoing conversations
with the producers and it was
made clear to us very early on that
everyone took Constance at her
word that she was apologetic.” Wu
had tweeted at the time, “So upset
right now that I’m literally crying.”

gushed about Bill and Hillary
Clinton after they watched her
perform at Madison Square Gar-
den Saturday. The longtime
Democrat posed for a photo
with the former president and
secretary of state and wrote: “So
honored this brilliant couple at-
tended my concert in New York.
The only president in the last 50
years to leave our country with a
budget surplus!” Mariah Carey,
Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal
and David Dinkins also attended.Babs, Bill & Hill
DESPITE retirement, it
seems Rob Gronkowski is
sticking to Tom Brady’s
strict diet. The former Pa-
triot and his girlfriend Ca-
mille Kostek were spotted
at Gurney’s in Montauk this
weekend, where spies say
he stuck to water and avo-
cados. Gronk became a fol-
lower of Brady’s strict
“TB12 Method,” in 2017,
which includes avoiding
nightshades (tomatoes, egg-
plants and peppers) and
drinking 37 glasses of water
on days you exercise. Some
have speculated the tight
end may end his retirement.Gronk keeps it

CHRIS Martin and Da-
kota Johnson are happily
back together. After being
spotted last week at a wrap
party for her upcoming film
“Covers,” and at the LA pre-
miere for her movie “The
Peanut Butter Falcon,” the
couple were seen frolicking
on the beach in the Hamp-
tons this weekend. They
were spotted taking a dip in
the sea, where they body-
surfed together and the
Coldplay frontman gave
Johnson a playful piggyback
ride. Martin and the “Fifty
Shades of Grey” actress have
been linked since January
2018, when they were seen
being flirty at a fashion
show, then they showed off
matching tattoos — and in-
finity sign crossed with two
small Xs — in September.
They reportedly split in
mid-June, but reconciled last
month. Johnson has even
been approved by Martin’s
ex, Gwyneth Paltrow.
They all spent Christmas
and New Year’s with Paltrow
and her new husband, Brad
Falchuk, in the Maldives.
Johnson was also seen hang-
ing out with Paltrow at a
birthday bash in LA in April.Fifty Shades

PARIS Hilton got behind the decks at the lavish wedding of her childhood friend and fellow heiress Amanda Hearst
to movie director Joachim Rønning. Hearst wore five wedding gowns for the over-the-top celebrations as she said
“I do” Friday at Hearst Castle in San Simeon, Calif., which was built by her great-grandfather, publishing ty-
coon William Randolph Hearst. The guest list included Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Kathy and Rick Hil-
ton and Amanda’s stepfather and literary icon Jay McInerney, who is married to her mom, Anne
Hearst. “Sex and the City” scribe Candace Bushnell brought her real-estate agent boyfriend Jim
Coleman, and Kick Kennedy and Lydia and Patty Hearst were also there. Sources tell Page Six that
other guests included Fran Drescher, Maye Musk, Justine and Robert Bloomingdale, Sharon
Bush and her daughters Ashley and Lauren Bush with her husband, David Lauren, alongside Vic-
toria Hearst. The bride was styled by Lupita Nyong’o’s longtime stylist, Micaela Erlanger, who
dressed her in an Oscar de la Renta gown and vintage Fred Leighton jewelry. Amanda is the co-founder of
sustainable-fashion retailer Maison de Mode and co-founder of animal welfare and conservation nonprofit
finn2finn Alliance. Amanda then changed into a Galvan white halter dress for dessert and dancing on a Moroccan-
themed terrace overlooking the castle’s Neptune Pool. Later, the bride — dressed in couture Giambattista Valli — and
groom, director of the upcoming “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil,” made a getaway in a vintage convertible. They threw a
second bash Saturday at LA’s Chateau Marmont, where they met three years ago — as Paris took to the decks.Kraft debuts new girlfriend
