Rivers is still running dry

Joan Rivers is looking for love in cyberspace – but so far, no luck.

The 72-year-old red-carpet critic and comedian said she and her assistant created a profile for her on Match.com.

“We were hoping to meet Mr. Right,” Rivers says. “We didn’t even get a wink.”

The profile lists Rivers as looking for a man between the ages of 65 and 75.

She doesn’t want to get married again, though. The former talk show host was married to British producer Edgar Rosenberg, who committed suicide in 1987.

As far as children go, Rivers already has one – daughter Melissa – as well as a 5-year-old grandson, Edgar. Her Match.com profile answer under the children section says “probably not.”

“Not right now, but I got two eggs in the refrigerator,” she quipped. “I should have written, ‘Not right now unless it is very, very important to you.’ “

Next, the diaper years

Kevin Arnold’s having a baby, and it’s not with Winnie Cooper.

Fred Savage, 29, who starred as wide-eyed Kevin on the coming-of-age sitcom “The Wonder Years,” is going to be a father. Jennifer Stone Savage is expecting the couple’s first child in August, his agent confirmed.

Savage appears on “Crumbs,” an ABC sitcom about estranged brothers forced together in business when their parents divorce.

Rated ‘M,’ for ‘mom’

Sharon Stone, who returns as the seductively leg-crossing Catherine Tramell in “Basic Instinct 2,” says she has no problem doing a nude scene if it’s right for the role.

And she wouldn’t object to her children seeing the movies, the actress adds – though that’s not going to happen anytime soon.

“When they’re old enough to see that kind of material, then they’re old enough to see that kind of material,” said Stone, who has two young sons.

Simply bowled over

The wife of Britain’s Prince Charles said she was “lost for words” at being named “Spouse of the Year” by a magazine for older readers.

The former Camilla Parker Bowles said she regretted being unable to attend the awards ceremony organized by The Oldie magazine because she was on “spousing duties” in “some far-flung corner of the globe.” The royal couple began a tour of the Middle East on Monday.

Setting the score straight

Eva Longoria is working overtime to dispel any notion that her boyfriend, NBA basketball star Tony Parker, is a lousy lover.

As we told you yesterday, the “Desperate Housewives” star said in an Allure magazine interview that “I’m the experienced one. I’m the teacher, especially about love.”

But she went on the syndicated “Extra” and “Access Hollywood” TV shows this week to declare that “when the lights are out, he’s the teacher,” and “I’m the student.”

The birthday bunch

Comedian Marty Allen is 84. Singer Ric Ocasek (The Cars) is 57. Singer Chaka Khan is 53. Actress Amanda Plummer is 49. Actress Hope Davis (“About Schmidt”) is 42. Actor Richard Grieco is 41. Actress Keri Russell (“Felicity”) is 30. Actress Nicholle Tom (“The Nanny”) is 28.
