Rob Kim/Getty Images ndy Cohen of ‘Watch What Happens Live’ fears that a dog ‘gives you a false sense of being in a releationship.’

Bravo honcho Andy Cohen first claimed Confidenti@l had done him wrong, then opened up about his personal life. “Oh my God, do you write that Confidenti@l page?” Cohen asked us at the 12th annual Woman’s Day Red Dress Awards at Lincoln Center. “Oh my God, all you guys do is print lies about me.” When asked for an example, Cohen couldn’t come up with one. He went on to confess that there are nights when he’d rather be home with his dog than at a chi-chi event. “It almost gives you a false sense of being in a relationship, going home to be with the dog,” he said. “I said to someone recently, ‘Maybe this is bad for me because it’s this false thing — should I be going home to my dog or should I be going out and trying to get something going?’ ”

Elvis Costello was the musical guest, and did a five-song set including “(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes.” The 1998 Grammy winner confessed he wasn’t really up on last Sunday’s award show. “It’s not really my thing,” the 60-year-old singer said. “I learnt everything I needed to learn about it about 35 years ago. There’s so many good songs and they can’t fit them all into even a three-hour thing. It becomes very difficult. They try to put too many people on the stage together.”

RED-CARPET BONDING

Call it “Fifty Shades of Red Carpet.” Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan took their S&M movie publicity tour overseas, where they’ll no doubt continue trying to convince reporters that doing sex scenes for a film isn’t nearly as fun as people might think. The pair looked great fully clothed at the Berlin International Film Festival at Zoo Palast on Wednesday.

COURIC READY TO JUMP IN

Yahoo, indeed. Yahoo! global news anchor Katie Couric was far removed from the network chaos in New York as she swam, snorkeled and jet-skied with her husband John Molner in Barbados. As Confidenti@l exclusively reported, there’s been chatter about Couric filling Brian Williams’ anchor spot at NBC, but she might also make an interesting Rosie O’Donnell replacement on ABC’s “The View.” We’re told she’s been testing the water in TV land if the right offer comes around.

Stuart C. Wilson/Getty Images Time seems to be on his side: Mick Jagger’s cavorting with models again.

JAGGER SHOWS MODEL BEHAVIOR

It’s a tale as old as time: Mick Jagger getting into mischief in a nightclub full of models. In the most recent telling, the Rolling Stones singer was at Chelsea hotspot No. 8 Tuesday night for Jourdan Dunn’s Cells for Gratitude Gala along with fellow guests Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls and Irina Sharipova. “He was hilarious and was photo-bombing everyone,” a spy told us.

BRANCATO BEST ON HOME FRONT

It’s tough to make it in Hollywood — especially when your parole officer is a hard-ass. Lillo Brancato, the “Sopranos” star recently released after a eight-year term for burglary, was overheard saying that he’d had to turn down a role in hit movie “American Sniper” because it would require traveling to Morocco for five days. “My parole officer nixed that idea quickly even with stand-up guy Clint Eastwood behind the production,” an eavesdropper heard him say at a premiere party at the Leonora for “Boy Meets Girl.” Brancato’s not in that Eric Schaeffer-directed film, either.

AWARD-LEVEL SIMMONS SHOW

Hip-hop legend Russell Simmons will honor New Yorkers for their “philanthropic achievements and their unyielding dedication to youth, arts and education initiatives” at a luncheon Friday. Among the honorees at the Rush Hearts benefit at the Plaza Hotel will be Yankee star CC Sabathia and his wife, Amber; fashion power couple Cynthia Rowley and Bill Powers; and “The Shark Tank” star and Fubu founder Daymond John.

LONGORIA’S AFFAIR OF THE HEART

Only Cupid could bring together “Desperate Housewives” beauty Eva Longoria and Instagram sensation the Fat Jew. Well, that and booze. The unlikely pair were special guests at Svedka vodka’s Stupid Cupid Valentine’s Day party at Barney’s Beanery in West Hollywood, where singer Matt White performed. “Longoria donned a stunning red dress while engaging in games of pool and air hockey,” said one partygoer.

TRIBUTE TO WONDER OF THE WORLD

A-listers were feeling it all over at the “Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life” salute at the Nokia Theater L.A. Beyoncé performed with a giddy Ed Sheeran and Gary Clarke Jr., while Jay Z, LL Cool J, Jamie Foxx, Janelle Monae and other stars had a Wonder-ful time Tuesday. Lady Gaga, Pharrell and Annie Lennox also performed in honor of the 64-year-old Motown genius.

Matt Jones/Redbook Anna Faris has frightening tales of Mickey Rourke and more in her new interview.

FARIS HAS TOUGH MOTHER’S DAY

“Mom” actress Anna Faris talked to Redbook about being a working mom for 2-year-old son Jack. “Motherhood is like a big sleeping bag of guilt,” she told the mag. On Tuesday, Faris was on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and recalled a long flight in which actor Mickey Rourke took exception to Jack’s crying. “I got shushed by Mickey Rourke!” she recalled. “Apparently Mickey Rourke has a ‘thing.’ He likes to shush babies.”

CHLOE & KATE: OLD FAVORITES

A pair of fortysomething actresses journeyed back to the late 1700s on Wednesday. Chloe Sevigny, 40, and Kate Beckinsale, 41, shot scenes for “Love and Friendship” in Dublin. The film is “The Last Days of Disco” director Whit Stillman’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Lady Susan.”
