The man cast to play Bernie Madoff in the upcoming docudrama, Madoff: Made Off with America, is Jersey City resident—and non-professional actor—Paul Cohen. The movie's director, Edmund Druilhet, says he picked Cohen because he "had the best lips." But they share other traits, too: "Both are Jewish, have April birthdays and attended school in the Far Rockaway section of Queens." So, you know, there's that. [Forward, Page Six]

Her flack blamed the accident on a rogue paparazzo who jumped out of the bushes and startled the horse, although both the photographer in question and the police don't share that account. [NYDN, NYP, E!]
Uma Thurman and Arpad Busson were rumored to be getting hitched in the Bahamas on Saturday, although there's still no word on whether any ceremony actually took place. [People, UPI]
