Williams attended the book party Rivers hosted for her daughter, Melissa, in her Upper East Side apartment. Hoda Kotb, Rosanna Scotto, Deborah Norville, Robin Quivers, WNBC's Megan Meany and LXTV's Sara Gore gathered with Bernadette Peters and Donnie Deutsch to celebrate Melissa's "Red Carpet Ready: Secrets for Making the Most of Any Moment You're in the Spotlight." She'll host a signing today at Borders at Time Warner Center. ~PAGE SIX, NY Post
