Jones was raised Jewish, identifies
strongly as Jewish, and most of her beaus
have been Jewish. Likewise, Koenig was
raised Jewish and had a bar mitzvah. He
says he was very much influenced by his
parents, Jewish professional people who are
serious fans of varied musical genres.
On a scholarship, Koenig went to
Columbia University, where he and three
other students (one a woman) formed in
2005 the literate band Vampire Weekend.
He’s the band’s lead guitarist
and lead vocalist. Vampire
really broke out in 2010 with
a CD (Contra) that was a
worldwide big seller. Koenig
is also the creator of the
Neflix animated series Neo
Yokio — and I have to say,
like Jones, he is really cute
— two shayna punims.
TWO WEDDINGS AND A BABY
On Sept. 29, Gwyneth Paltrow wed long-
time beau Brad Falchuk, 47, in a private
backyard ceremony at her Hamptons home.
Reports say that guests included Jerry
Seinfeld, 64, and Steven Spielberg, 71.
Seinfeld, whose wife, Jessica, is a close
friend of Paltrow’s, hosted the couple’s
rehearsal dinner. As I write
this, no news has leaked out
as to whether it was a secu-
lar or Jewish wedding.
Paltrow, who identifies
as Jewish, was close to her
late father, director Bruce
Paltrow. Falchuk, like
Paltrow, has two children
under 18 from a previous
Gwyneth Paltrow and
marriage (his first wife was Brad Falchuk
