Jennifer Aniston is thinking about getting an apartment in Manhattan.
The star of the “The Morning Show” on Apple TV+ has been dating New Yorker Jim Curtis, a hypnotherapist and wellness coach.
“She’s a California girl at heart, but she feels it would be good for a new relationship to be bicoastal,” one insider said. “She wants to deep dive into Broadway and our cultural institutions.”
The actress was in the city earlier this month to celebrate the fourth season of her series. Curtis joined her for the premiere at the Museum of Modern Art, where he was seen standing to the side of the red carpet as she posed for photos with the cast.

Robert Redford’s co-stars are mourning the loss of the Hollywood legend.
Kimberly Paige Bluhm — who played the actor’s wife in “Spy Game,” a 2001 action thriller filmed in Budapest and co-starring Brad Pitt — said, “He was kind and generous to everyone on set. He was a real gentleman.”
Kimberly is now a philanthropist married to billionaire Neil Bluhm, who was honored on Friday for his part in building the Northwestern Medicine Bluhm Heart Hospital in Chicago.

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani has fallen from grace in recent years, but he’s still revered for his leadership 24 years ago after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
Giuliani, 81, attended the 9/11 memorial in a wheelchair with a brace holding him up after he was injured in a car crash in New Hampshire last month.
“His spirits were high, his smile large,” his lawyer Arthur Aidala told me. “Everyone came and kissed his ring.”
Aidala said the World Trade Center destruction that claimed more than 2,600 lives connected everyone in the city.
“It’s hard to think about what we all went through. Twenty-four years ago we were all united,” Aidala said. “It lasted a couple months. Then everyone reverted back to their partisan selves.”

Shutterbug Patrick McMullan got his start photographing celebrities with a gift from Andy Warhol.
“I went to the Factory and I had this big Yashika camera, and Andy said, ‘You need a smaller camera, and keep it on you all the time.’ The next day the door buzzes and a messenger is there with a package. It was an Olympus pocket camera from Andy.”
McMullan started carrying it wherever he went.
Unlike other photographers, McMullan always asked first if he could take a photo.
Some, like Sen. Ted Kennedy one night at Area, declined. “He said, ‘No, no, no. That wouldn’t be good.’”
Now everyone has a camera on their phone and celebs avoid nightclubs.
McMullan reminisced at his 70th birthday party, held at Jean Shafiroff’s Upper East Side apartment. Guests included Luann de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, Dorinda Medley, Henry Buhl and Dylan Hundley.
Shafiroff changed her outfit four times, until McMullan urged her, “Why not set a record? After all, it’s fashion week.” So she came back in a fifth dress.

One of those featured is Presley’s cousin Patsy Presley Gambill, the secretary at Graceland during his long career.

Presley’s electroplated gold Cuban link bracelet with an ID plate engraved with his name is now up for sale by M.S. Rau in New Orleans for $28,500.
