MANHATTAN — Actor Ed Norton gazed adoringly at "Felicity" star Keri Russell last night at a special screening of Norton's new film, "Leaves of Grass."

In the film, Norton plays twins — one an Ivy League professor who returns to his hometown in Oklahoma to investigate the apparent murder of his twin brother. The film was written and directed by Tim Blake Nelson (also in attendance), of "O Brother, Where Art Thou" fame.

Meanwhile in Midtown, Candice Bergen posed for photographers at the after party for the Broadway première of "Come Fly Away," a new musical that combines the music of Frank Sinatra with the choreography of Twyla Tharp.  Donald Trump, Tony Bennett, Edie Falco, Spike Lee, Kathy Lee Gifford, Jonathan Demme and Neil Diamond were also seen mingling at the Roseland Ballroom affair.
