James Lipton, host of Bravo's "Inside the Actors Studio," tells Dan's Papers that he finished his new book "with relentless intensity" over two summers at his Bridgehampton home. (He and wife, Kedakai, bought the house in 1998 for $580,000.) The book, "Inside Inside" (Dutton Adult, $27.95), "chronicles the victories, defeats, aspirations and rewards" of Lipton's life. Lipton, who has been frequenting the Hamptons since the 1960s, describes how he booked East Hamptonite Steven Spielberg for the cable show. "I ran into him inside the East Hampton Cinema," he tells Dan's Papers. "We inadvertently cut the front of the snack line, and had it not been for Mr. Spielberg's fame, the incident might've ensued into a wild altercation."
