On Oct. 10, an unhappy billionaire, Amy Griffin, confronted a former Today host, Billy Bush, at a celebrity wedding on the Hawaiian island of Lanai. Guests included Demi Moore and Tobey Maguire. It was the sort of thing that delights the entertainment media, even if you won’t often read about it in this column.
