On the face of it, Bradley Cooper and Huma Abedin might seem like an odd couple. The outgoing LA-based actor is now in the midst of directing and filming the high-minded Leonard Bernstein biopic "Maestro," while enigmatic New Yorker Abedin has, for 25 years, been the keeper of secrets, optics and logistics for Hillary Clinton — and the long-suffering former wife of disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner. But insiders and experts say that, while it is still in the early days, the relationship boosts both of their profiles — and that the two could become the next George and Amal Clooney-style power couple: a meeting of Hollywood and politics. "Like a moth to a flame [Abedin] is drawn to fame and celebrity, and dating a hot celebrity is a good way to show she is still relevant," one political insider told Page Six. "It makes her current. Her book [2021 memoir 'Both/And'] got good reviews, and now she's moving on from this terrible marriage." As for Cooper, "It does give Bradley a platform to be seen more seriously — and to take on more cerebral matters rather than the usual showbiz piffle." And there might be even more in it for Cooper, who has recently shown restlessness with the Hollywood machine, and previously mentioned his interest in politics. One top Democratic insider said, "Huma is a very smart woman who has a lot of powerful contacts across the world. This relationship will open up doors for Bradley Cooper that were previously shut." Read all about this new win-win romance below. Also, high-school prayer coach Joe Kennedy tells the full story of his sacking and Supreme Court win: "As a Marine, I fought for us to have this right." And there's much more, including a surprising look at Jazz Age actress Josephine Baker's double life. Have a great Sunday.
