HE’S GAFFI-GONE
Pwho strayed into the woods at epic Hamptons bash last weekend had good reason to feel like they were being watched. They were.
Confidenti@l has learned that the eccentric millionaire philanthropist’s security team brought in a drone to monitor the property around Wilzig’s 10-acre Water Mill estate where 700 guests many of them naked - helped the banker-turned-musician celebrate his 60th birthday. One insider involved in planning the bash says that the eye in the sky was brought in because of Wilzig’s experiences at past parties he’s hosted. “People kept disappearing into the woods so Sir Ivan hired a drone to circle the area and not only make sure that no one went missing, but also so no crashers would break in,” we’re told. “The drone Comedian and former Confidenti@l guest editor will not be back for a third season of his TV Land sitcom “The Jim Gaffigan Show,” which aired its final episode on Sunday. Gaffigan and his wife Jeannie, who co-wrote the show and directed the series finale, have said they want to spend more time with their five children. We suspect that Jim wants to come back to the Daily News and work as a food critic. was connected to security cameras.”
Wilzig, who turned 60 in January with a big bash in Miami, spent over $1 million on this single summer soiree we’re told. Guests who came to the “Garden of Eden themed party” were asked to wear minimal dress and were offered fig leaves at the door in the event they wanted to strip down completely. “At the end of the party, around 1 a.m., 25 security guards hustled everyone off and several people saw two naked women in high heels walking down the highway,” we’re told. “They wound up in the woods and had to be rescued.”
We’ve also heard that two naked partygoers who slipped by security guards wound up in the house after the festivities ended and had a little party of their own.
“Ivan found them at 3 a.m. when he went to get a sandwich and yelled ‘What are you doing? You almost gave me a heart attack.’ ” He then left the lovebirds to show themselves out after saying “Carry on, as long as you make a little Cane and Able.”
Wilzig’s reps confirm the story.
