Several dozen fans waited more two hours to greet Jake Gyllenhaal after Friday’s first preview of “If There Is I Haven’t Found It Yet.” And when he finally exited the Laura Pels Theatre on W. 46th St., he stopped to sign only a handful of Playbills, leaving the rest of the crowd, like 14-year-old birthday girl Cassie O’Connor, heartbroken. “I’m sad. But he made eye contact with me ... so that was something,” she told our Nicole Lyn Pesce. Her mother, Stacy O’Connor, wasn’t so gracious: “He kept us waiting because he was probably partying with people who didn’t even have to pay to see the show. ... This is ridiculous.” Maribel de la Torre, 32, of South Slope, Brooklyn, stomped away saying, “This is f— bulls—!”
CITIZEN KATE
Model Kate Upton may rule the runway, but don’t expect to see her on “Meet the Press.” She filibustered when asked about her uncle, conservative Michigan congressman Fred Upton, who opposes Obamacare and abortion rights. “I leave the politics to my uncle,” said the stunner at Stoked Mentoring and Zoo York charity cleanup day in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Fashion is her game — she had one assistant carrying her Prada bag and another toting her Celine sack.
READING THE STARS
Christie Brinkley loves the poetry and prose of Suzanne Somers and told us so at the East Hampton Guild Hall’s performance of “Celebrity Autobiography” over the weekend. There, she and other celebs, read from the self-indulgent tomes of the rich and famous. Alec Baldwin (don’t even get us started) did Eminem and Justin Bieber, and Scott Adsit starred as David Hasselhoff and Richard Burton. Said Brinkley, there with daughters Alexa Ray Joel and Sailor: “Suzanne Somers is very deep, very pensive, in her poetry and her memoir.”
GRILL, BABY, GRILL
Bobby Flay has a lot cooking these days. “I’m looking for spaces for three different ideas,” the celeb chef said at the Bridgehampton Polo Challenge. “My main goal is to reopen Bolo, which was opened for 15 years, then closed about three years ago when they knocked the building down.” He’s also planning to move and relaunch Mesa Grill next year from its Fifth Ave. spot near Union Square and bring Bobby Flay Steak (there’s one at the Borgata in A.C.) to the Big Apple.
A NEED FOR SPEED
Kelly Klein’s spunky young son has a need for speed — and not on horses like his mom likes. “I don’t like horses, I like cars, and I want to be a race-car driver when I grow up,” 4-year-old Lukas Rector declared over the weekend.
PONIES AND TONYS
“War Horse” producer and Hamptons A-lister Stewart Lane says 10 years of watching the ponies out East must have had something to do with the fifth Tony he won for the show. “I’m sure in some way this has been an inspiration to us,” he told Confidenti@l.
AN EYE FOR ‘GOSSIP’
Society shutterbug Patrick McMullan might have an unwanted accessory while filming his second stint CW’s “Gossip Girl” this week - an eyepatch after scratching his cornea with his camera strap. “The show must go on baby, the show must go on,” he insists. He said he expects to be back seeing with both eyes by the start of Fashion Week.
LEO’S TAKING STOCK
Leonardo DiCaprio is a busy boy. The actor, filming Martin Scorsese’s latest movie, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” in New York, was spotted leaving the Port Washington, L.I., office of motivational speaker Steve Maraboli Friday. Maybe Leo, who plays a big-time New York stockbroker who refuses to cooperate in a fraud case, was looking for some insight on what motivates Wall Street’s power players. The movie started shooting in Manhattan over the weekend.
BRAVO FOR THEM
Ex-Ranger and former Vogue intern Sean Avery teamed up with bff and Bravo honcho Andy Cohen over the weekend for a good cause: The two were helping raise money for the Share Our Strength/No Kid Hungry campaign. We just love that the bruiser and the king of reality TV are such pals.

Is Bradley Cooper giving ex-girlfriend Zoe Saldana the silent treatment?
At a screening of “The Words” at Goose Creek in the Hamptons, People magazine’s 2011 “Sexiest Man Alive” told Confidenti@l he hasn’t been speaking to his co-star, who he was romantically linked on and off with from January until June.
“I only talk to Brian [Klugman, the director and childhood pal],” Cooper told us when pressed. “That’s the only person I ever talk to.”
The sexy Saldana was noticeably absent from the screening of the plagiarism thriller, which also stars Jeremy Irons, Ben Barnes and Dennis Quaid. In it, she plays Cooper’s lover.
“She brought so much to the role, as did everybody else. Jeremy Irons was a dream. I had a chance to work with great people,” Cooper said.
Spotted at the Fiji Water and Carrera Sunglasses-sponsored screening were Susan Sarandon, Howard Stern and his wife, Beth Ostrosky.
Also noticeably absent was co-star Olivia Wilde, who was linked to the blue-eyed Lothario in March 2011 after he split from then-longtime girlfriend Renee Zellweger.
A spokeswoman for Saldana says the “Avatar” actress “wasn’t able to travel to New York because she had a conflict. She will be at the premiere in L.A. and is doing press from there, too.”
The rep didn’t elaborate on the “conflict,” but Saldana was spotted in Los Angeles with a cast around her wrist on Friday.
The former couple, who made their debut at a New Year’s Eve bash together, seemed quite friendly after calling it quits in March. They had dinner at East Village Mexican restaurant Empellon Cocina at the end of May, and we reported them locking lips while brunching with Saldana’s family at Boom in SoHo in June.
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE
Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton — clad in matching white pants — strolled East Hampton’s tony Main St. Saturday for a little upscale clothes shopping at Calypso St. Barth, Roberta Freymann and Lululemon Athletica. Chelsea’s hubby, Marc Mezvinsky, and longtime Hil aide Huma Abedin were in tow without randy ex-congressman Anthony Weiner. The night before, the former First Family got a standing ovation at Almond Restaurant in Bridgehampton from the mostly gay crowd. The Clintons are renting real estate bigwig Elie Hirschfeld’s estate on Lily Pond Lane for the month of August.
