Graydon Carter, Vanity Fair’s editor and grand poobah presiding over VF’s Tuesday Tribeca Film Festival bash, joked about his role for the evening. “I’ll be taking care of Bob [De Niro],” he explained as the party began. “I’ll basically serve as his valet. I’ll fetch his drinks . . . make sure his bowl is filled and just stand behind him.” Fran Lebowitz arrived in a near-identical blazer to Carter’s and quipped, “We should call each other because we have the same tailor . . . but his jacket is brighter.” Whoopi Goldberg, meanwhile, seemed genuinely unconcerned with who’ll take over for Joy Behar and Barbara Walters on “The View” — as long as her paychecks clear. “I’m not paying attention,” Goldberg insisted at the swank soiree on the State Supreme Court steps. “It’s not my job to know, or suggest. They have people who do that. What I do is do my job, and that’s all I really give a [bleep] about . . . I just want to make sure my check doesn’t bounce.” Literary lothario Salman Rushdie, who’s been moving into film and TV, told us he doesn’t do Netflix: “I’m a movie addict, but I like seeing films in a cinema . . . I’m very old-school. I have all the new toys, but I don’t use them.” Also among the moguls, movie stars and fashionistas: Christopher Walken, Ron Perelman, Les Moonves, Howard Stringer, Vivi Nevo, Tory Burch and Sienna Miller.
