Here’s Hillary Clinton’s latest Hollywood supporter: Steven Spielberg.

“As president, she will bring America back together, rebuild our prestige abroad and ensure our protection here at home,” the director said in a statement.

Both Clintons have had close ties to Hollywood.

But the last big news out of Hollywood wasn’t good for Hillary Clinton. David Geffen held a much publicized fund-raiser for her Democratic rival, Barack Obama.

Walk into Anna Maria’s Restaurant in Larchmont and it’s hard to miss Rudy Giuliani.

There are too many photos of him: giving a speech, hugging the restaurant’s owner, Anna Maria Santorelli, posing with her and an enormous pan of lobsters.

Before opening her restaurant, Santorelli cooked for Giuliani at Gracie Mansion and she is the subject of my column for tomorrow.

She says she’s not political but if Giuliani wins the election, she would be happy to follow him to the White House.

(She would keep the restaurant though.)

Queens Democratic Rep.  Joseph Crowley announced his support yesterday for congestion pricing in Manhattan, but he wants two new Metro North Railroad stations in the Bronx and two new Long Island Railroad stations in Queens.

He appeared at Grand Central Terminal yesterday with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

The city estimates more than $30 billion in transportation infrastructure improvements could be made with the revenue collected through the pricing plan.

Drivers entering the busiest parts of Manhattan during business hours would be charged $8 for cars and $21 for trucks.

But the plan would have to approved in Albany and there is opposition. For one, Assemblyman Richard Brodsky, the Democrat from Hartsdale, has been against it.

The congestion pricing Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to impose on drivers entering Manhattan is a tax on the middle class, says Assemblyman Richard Brodsky.

“This will stop the Chevrolets from coming in, not BMWs,� The Associated Press quoted Brodsky, the Democrat from Hartsdale.

The mayor’s plan to ease traffic would charge drivers $8 and trucks $21 to enter the busiest parts of Manhattan during business hours. It would be similar to one that is already in effect in London.

The state Legislation would need to approve it and today a hearing is taking place in Albany. Brodsky is chairman of one of the committees holding the hearing and he has been critical since Bloomberg first announced the plan.

Gov. Eliot Spitzer supports it.

New York is one of nine semifinalists to receive federal funds to ease congestion. It expects to ask for $500 million; the winners will be announced in mid-August.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg got some support for his congestion pricing today.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters and Gov. Eliot Spitzer appeared in New York City today with the mayor.

The plan would charge drivers who enter New York City during the working day. The idea is to ease congestion.

Legislation that would allow the plan to move forward has been introduced in the state Legislature.

Manhattanites by and large support the plan over people in the suburbs and other boroughs. Not hard to see why. Manhattan gets the pollution.

We’ll see what happens.

Tomorrow morning I’m going to hear a speech sponsored by both the Federated Conservationists of Westchester and the Business Council of Westchester.

Environmentalists and business people coming together to talk about global climate change, sustainability and profitability.

The speaker is Bob Willard, an expert on the business value of corporate sustainability strategies. He had a 34-year career at IBM in Canada and is the author of The Sustainability Advantage: Seven Business Case Benefits of a Triple Bottom Line (2002) and The Next Sustainability Wave: Building Boardroom Buy-in (2005).

I’m looking forward to it. I think that’s one way real change happens—when business gets involved.

The seminar is from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m. in the Tudor Room of Pace University Law School, 78 North Broadway, White Plains. Cost: $30.

This morning, on the anniversary of the day Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was shot in Los Angeles, his daughter Kerry Kennedy addressed an awards ceremony for the Foodbank for Westchester.

In her father’s last interview with David Frost, she said, he was asked how his obituary should read.

“Something about the fact that I made some contribution to either my country, or those who were less well off,� Kennedy responded. “I think back to what Camus wrote about the fact that perhaps this world is a world in which children suffer, but we can lessen the number of suffering children, and if you do not do this, then who will do this? I’d like to feel that I’d done something to lessen that suffering.�

The people at the breakfast, at Tappan Hill in Tarrytown, were also among those who were lessening the suffering, Kerry Kennedy said.

Today is Hunger Awareness Day. If you’re thinking that having a fancy breakfast of French toast and fresh fruit put on by one of Westchester’s best known caterers, Abigail Kirsch, is an odd way to acknowledge hunger, well maybe.

More appropriate perhaps: OxFam’s traditional Fast for World Harvest, in which people give up a meal and donate the money saved.

On the other hand, Abigail Kirsh was there; so were other members of the family. The catering company was a recipient of one of the Hunger Heroes awards.

Other recipients: the food pantry run by the Veterans Administration in Montrose, its supervisor, Duke Searles, and its staff; and Diane Anderson of Friends of Karen, which serves children diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.

Hillary Clinton insisted this morning that running for president was not something she always knew she would do.
“Contrary to some pundits it was certainly not anything that I thought about all my life,” she told a breakfast of Women for Hillary in Manhattan.
“I never shook hands with anybody when I was 16 and thought ‘I would like to be president,’ ” she said — a reference to President Clinton’s frequently told story about meeting President Kennedy when he was that age.
Clinton was introduced to an audience of about 1,000 women and a scattering of men by tennis star Billie Jean King who joked that if elected Clinton would hit the ground running.

She already lived in the White House for eight years, King said to a roomful of laughter.
