Mia Farrow has waged a war against Woody Allen, claiming he’s a sex offender, for 22 years. Allen has never been charged with anything. But Mia says nothing about her own brother, John Farrow. He is currently serving 10 years in a Maryland prison on a 25 year sentence for sex abuse of two young boys.

And that’s not the only trouble surrounding Mia’s family. Her other brother, Patrick, committed suicide almost five years ago.

Is Mia projecting her anger toward her brothers onto Woody Allen? Think about it. Where is Mia’s public outrage over an actual convicted offender? Will Ronan cover that story on MSNBC, or Tweet about it?

More importantly: were Mia’s kids ever harmed by this man? No one has ever spoken about that.

John Farrow, 67, was convicted this past October in Maryland. Two young men revealed Farrow had molested them between 2000 and 2008. They are now 20 years old.

Mia Farrow’s brother pleaded guilty to two counts of child abuse. He faced 39 counts of child abuse. To stop his trial last summer, Farrow entered an Alford plea, meaning he accepted his conviction while maintaining his innocence. At his sentencing, Farrow told the court: “I do feel regret. This is absolutely the worst thing that I’ve ever done and I will ever do. It was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life.”

It’s pretty interesting that neither Mia nor Ronan Farrow, and now Dylan, have never spoken out in support of John Farrow’s victims. Those victims have documented proof and a guilty plea and a sex abuser in prison.

And no reason has ever been given for Patrick Farrow’s violent 2009 suicide.

Mia Farrow has thrown another grenade at Woody Allen. She’s gotten daughter Dylan to accuse Woody of sexual abuse in a blog in the New York Times. It’s not in the main paper. It’s in Nicholas Kristof’s personal blog. And what Kristof says as “full disclosure” is that he’s a friend of Mia Farrow. it’s not in his preface to Dylan’s open letter, which everyone is now reading. That’s how Kristof puts it in his Op Ed piece that accompanies the blog revelation.

But Kristof and Farrow aren’t just ‘friends.’ They are close friends. Romantic? I’m not suggesting that. They travel together, Kristof writes about Farrow often, he Tweets and re-Tweets her. They are too close for him to be delivering Dylan’s accusations. There isn’t a chance that Kristof hasn’t heard complaints about Woody Allen from Mia Farrow non stop for the last five or six years. At least. Read this column from Kristof about Farrow from 2008 http://kristof.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/06/mia-farrow-gold-medalist/

The Mia Farrow Kristof writes about is Gandhi, Mandela, and Mother Theresa all rolled into one.

Here’s a picture of Kristof and Farrow with friends at an awards show.

It’s not that I don’t believe Dylan Farrow, or sympathize with her pain. I don’t know what’s true and what isn’t. What I do know is that Mia Farrow has very carefully conducted a campaign against Woody Allen since she realized “Blue Jasmine” would do well at the box office and get Oscar nominations. She went nuts when the Golden Globes decided to honor him with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

The campaign has been well calculated. It involved suggesting that her son Ronan might be Frank Sinatra’s kid, and not Woody’s. It’s not possible, of course. But the suggestion set off a firestorm. And now Ronan, with no background in broadcasting, has gotten a daily show on MSNBC beginning later this month. Kris Kardashian Jenner has nothing on Mia Farrow.

During the Golden Globes show, Ronan attacked Woody on Twitter, the electronic neighborhood graffiti wall. He claimed that Woody had molested Dylan when she was 7. He was largely rebuffed by the Twitter audience. Then Cate Blanchett really thanked Woody on TV when she won the SAG Award for Best Actress in “Blue Jasmine.” That must have sent Mia over the edge.

The result is Dylan’s painful “open letter” in Kristof’s blog this afternoon. She supplied a picture, too. The letter is pointed at Blanchett– what if this were your child? Mia has turned Woody into Zelig after his fall from grace. She learned a lot from that movie. Once a celebrity is accused of something, it won’t go away. And with the internet, it’s even worse.

Choosing Kristof for the ‘hit’ was a bad idea. He is not at all objective. He’s Mia’s pawn in this endless chess game. If she and Dylan were serious, they would have gone to someone totally impartial, someone they didn’t know.Farrow and Kristof have traveled together to the Sudan, they’ve appeared together often, there are numerous accounts of them together that can be found easily.

If the Farrows had been serious, they could have filed a police report, or a lawsuit. But they chose a quick ambush, a sucker punch, a swift attack during Oscar season. If Dylan is telling the 100 percent truth, she could have told it last fall, or next spring, or three years ago, or during the release of a Woody film that didn’t matter so much, like “To Rome with Love.”

It’s too bad because Dylan’s pain and Ronan’s Tweets are all lost in Mia’s obvious manipulations.

“There is too much going on in this city.” That’s what Lou Palumbo of Elite Security told me last night outside the Hammerstein Ballroom while hundreds of Howard Stern fans braved the cold weather and a phalanx of undercover cop cars went sailing by in another direction. New York! It’s just crazy and we love it!

David Pecker’s American Media threw quite an A list Super Bowl party last night at Cipriani 42nd St. for Men’s Fitness and Shape magazines. The humongous former bank vault was filled to the edges with plenty of A-listers from Gina Gershon to Gayle King to Lara Spencer, not to mention model Petra Nemcova who was there to raise money for her Tsunami charity. She was introduced by Pecker, whose speech energized the crowd!

No less than  three superstars — Mary J. Blige, John Legend and Marc Anthony — performed hot hot hot sets, too, rocking the house. John’s gorgeous wife Chrissy Teigen led the cheering when her husband did his emotional version of Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark.” Ice T and wife Coco, Stacey Keibler, Stephen Colbert, and Harvey Weinstein were just some of the other guests. Katie Couric even popped in for a bit.

Supermodel Iman Chanel and a beautiful model girlfriend really danced themselves into a frenzy for Marc Anthony. Marc pretty much stopped the show when they approached the stage. Oh to be a Latin rock star!

Meanwhile: tonight is Michele Lee’s last of three shows at 54 Below. Liza Minnelli, Clive Davis, and Sandra Bernhard have been just some of her guests. The TV, Broadway and movie star has had quite a success at 54 Below. I expect we’ll see her back soon. Michele should be in a musical comedy pronto. She is simply sensational mixing Joni Mitchell with Cy Coleman and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “As If We Never Said Goodbye.” She’s also charming as all get out.

So many headlines from the Howard Stern Sirius Radio 60th birthday gala. First was the appearance of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. He received muted applause when he entered, and almost nothing when he left the stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom. One insider told me as Christie first came on: “We were afraid he’d be booed.” This was more like indifference. All the rowdy applause and cheering of past public appearances was absent. The mood was vastly different. Christie must have known that.

But that was the only awkward moment in a four hour party that really was a smash hit of an evening. Stern broadcast on his Sirius channel from 6 pm to 10:30pm, doing his radio show with Robin Quivers from the Hammerstein stage. Jimmy Kimmel was sort of an extra master of ceremonies. And the guests were just one after another either very funny or musical stars.

By far the most interesting moment was a 30 minute– yes, half hour– sit down interview live on stage with David Letterman. I’m hopeful Sirius will release the clip. Howard was so impressive, and he got a masterful session done with the usually taciturn Letterman. And the subject seemed more than willing. Not only that, but Kimmel served as sort of a second banana, and Letterman interacted with him nicely.

Dave and Howard covered many topics including Letterman hanging out with Johnny Carson early in his career. They got to politics. Howard asked him if he’d ever voted for a Republican. Letterman replied: “Not that I know of.”

Dave also revealed to Howard that he did not attend Larry “Bud” Mehlman’s funeral. He did say he spoke to Jay Leno once in the last few years– when Jay announced his second departure from the Tonight Show. Dave indicated that he still holds a grudge against Jay from the old days.

This interview alone may be Howard’s finest hour. You could tell he really was invested in being serious, if not Sirius. Letterman rose to the occasion.

Other guests included the musical performer ones– House band Train, plus Rob Zombie, Adam Levine — playing without Maroon 5, John Mayer, Dave Grohl, John Fogerty, Steven Tyler sans Aerosmith but with Slash. Plus there were some terrific parody songs– by Rosie O’Donnell, and by Sarah Silverman with Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks. Adam played “Purple Rain” with Train; it was the first time I’ve seen him solo without his group. Jon Bon Jovi got a huge ovation for a spectacular “Wanted Dead or Alive.”

Jimmy Fallon did some dead on impersonations for Howard. Bryan Cranston stopped by, as did Lena Dunham from “Girls.” Cyndi Lauper and husband David Thornton were in the audience, as was Barbara Walters (no idea why), Sandra Bernhard, the great comedy writer Alan Zweibel, Patti Smythe and John McEnroe, plus Katie Couric and Louis CK, Fred Armisen, David Spade, Johnny Knoxville, Zach Braff, and Robert Downey Jr. with wife Susan (and a lot of unpleasant security) among others.

The funniest stuff came from Joan Rivers and Jeffrey Ross, who turned their segment into a Friars Roast. I can’t reprint any of it.

No one seems to know if Sirius will market a DVD of the evening but they should. Kudos to Scott Greenstein for pulling it off.
