Which gossip columnist got edged out for a role on the Fox TV show based on her boyfriend’s book? Darren Star recently asked “Page Six” ’s Paula Froelich to audition to play a Times food critic in his new show, Kitchen Confidential, based on the best seller by her beau, chef Anthony Bourdain. “They asked me if I had ever acted before, and I said, ‘I do it every day—do you think I like half those people I have to talk to?,’ ” Froelich says. Froelich, Star says, “has screen presence. Certainly, being hooked up with Anthony doesn’t hurt her chances of getting a role. For this part we went with Bitty Schram—it’s hard to go against the pros.”
