Graydon Carter doesn't light up in front of Mayor Bloomberg

Thursday, April 24th 2008, 4:00 AM

Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter taunted Hizzoner Michael Bloomberg with a cigarette at his annual dinner for the Tribeca Film Festival Tuesday. But while the noted smoking advocate brandished the cancer stick and stuck it in his mouth, he stopped short of violating the law and lighting up in the rotunda of the State Supreme Courthouse on Centre St.

Among the dozens of guests along with hosts Robert De Niro and Ron Perelman were David Bowie and Iman, James Gandolfini, Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld, Bette Midler, Lee Radziwill and her niece Caroline Kennedy, Sigourney Weaver, Anjelica Houston and Billy Crystal.

Other gossip from the evening has it that dashing PR dauphin Steven Rubenstein - who attended stag - is dating rising playwright Bess Wohl, a Brooklyn-born beauty who can also be seen acting in "CSI: NY."
