The guv’s people say not much should be made of this, but here’s the cold hard fact: Gov. Charlie Crist attended the March of Dimes’ yearly “Glitz” fund-raiser Saturday at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago — without First Lady Carole Crist.

On their first anniversary!

“Oh, she’s waiting for me at home,” Crist told Page2Live’s shutterbug. “It is our anniversary.”

Crist stayed at the Palm Beach club until about 9:15 p.m.

Crist was hitched to the then-Carole Rome in his hometown of St. Petersburg on Dec. 12, 2008, before a plethora of political operatives and GOP supporters.

Thing is, it’s not unusual these days to see the first lady and the governor alone at separate functions. A week ago, Carole Crist appeared alone at The Colony in Palm Beach to help raise cash for the National Center on Family Homelessness.

This time around, Crist was spotted having dinner with Carole at the Colony Hotel Friday night. But Carole’s absence at the March of Dimes the following evening was even more surprising because she was an event chairwoman last year. She’s also a close friend of local chapter benefactors Annie Falk and Lori Stoll. Both socialites attended.

The March of Dimes fiesta, meanwhile, was different from previous years in that it was separated into two different events: an intimate dinner for about 100, and a nightclub-style party for twice as many for dessert.

    She’s just a front woman for him. Everyone knows whats really going on there. Not at all a surprise.

    Why should they go out together??? After all, they don’t sleep together!

    P.S.
    These are some of the worst looking women I’ve seen at a gathering in a very long time. Notice the pics, Gus and Charlie together again. How sweet.

    What makes Donald Trump possibly believe he looks good with that scarecrow hair? Doesn’t anyone around him have the balls to tell him he’s ridiculous? Maybe he looks in the mirror and actually believes he’s a stud, but certainly his wife could give him a clue. Incredible!!

    Come on Charlie:

    It is 2009 and you can come out of the closet now. He only married that girl as a cover up due to the fact that he is gay. Nobody cares if you are gay. The new mayor of Houston is gay too.

    Could not agree more with the post about the caliber and level of class. The photo of Brandy/Brandi Herbst alone brings an immediate reaction of “how much?!”? and, Hmm,my goodness dear you’ve lost a button. The whole scene looks tacky.

    Oh, Brandy/Brandi is the blonde in the green down-to-my-you-know-what front dress. With her yucky restaurant husband who is a little like Tiger Woods as a matter of fact. And I don’t mean the golf talent. Talent I use loosely.

    Pretty young women with moneyed old reprobates.

    Listen, everyone knows Crist is gay and this is an arranged marriage. It was well known that he was gay years ago. This charade isn’t fooling anyone. I think he is a very good governor and most people don’t care if he is gay, but we care that he lies……

    My wife would walk on our marriage if I didn’t spend our anniversaries together. It’s just what you do……

    All these women look like they just came back from a drunken back seat grope fest. Who taught these women about fashion? Most of them look like over the hill strippers between the dresses that don’t fit right and the over abundance of makeup.

    I lived in St. Pete for over 15 years. Charlie was always around - he lived downtown near me and his parents still live there. Believe me - he’s gay. Poor guy. What a torture to feel like you have to live this way.

    Not the PB it used to be. Where did all the class and elegance go????

    Whats up with showing the surgical scars on pictures 27 & 28. She should really wear something different covering her breasts until they heal. Yuck!

    Maybe ole Charlie was there with a Boy Toy.

    Who the heck thinks their marriage is Real?

    All the back room talk seems to point to the implication or fact the Charlie is a mo’……

    Charlie, we don’t care if you’re gay. We DO care if you’re not being honest. So…..come out, come out, where ever you are ;-)

    Is it true that he has been partying with Mark Foley and Layne Neisenbaum? Better check the RAMROD in Ft. Lauderdale….

    Someone needs to remind these “ladies” that mini dresses are not appropriate formal wear (especially if you are so fat that it is painted on). Ugh!!
