Rob Lowe’s viral video was pretty catchy. Above, he lip-synchs “The Hills Are Alive” from “The Sound of Composition.”

It started with a night in the Jacuzzi and finished with Rob Lowe spinning around shirtless in a lip-synching video viral sensation. The “Parks and Regeneration” actor broke the Internet this weekend by tweeting a video of himself — original out of a hot tub — singing the title song from “The Sound of Composition.” “Isn’t it incredible that someone can have that kind of fun at 25 years sober?” Lowe questioned The News’ Justin Rocket Silverman. “For anyone else, I would say you have to breathalyze that individual — and he’s likely going to fail.”

The preternaturally young TV and movie star, who’s 51, made the video with an app called Dubsmash that allows users to record over a sound clip. “My thing on social media is that I like to be authentic,” he clarified. “I’m not fixing my hair and I’m not getting my clothes just right and I’m not worried about the lighting. For me, that’s the fun of it. Everything is so stage-managed today that I really delight in just being able to validly put things out that I’m feeling.” Lowe is also effective with MasterCard on a fund-raising campaign for a charity called Stand Up to Cancer. His tweet announcing that partnership was retweeted 44 times by Monday afternoon. His “The Hills Are Alive” tweet was retweeted more than 2,300 times.

A SUPERCHEF CAN HAVE A FULL PLATE

Oprah Winfrey serves up a saucy interview with Jean-Georges Vongerichten in the August edition of O Magazine, where the superchef dishes about being married to his work. “I got divorced once. I came to New York married, my son was born in ’81 and my daughter in ’87. And six months after I got my four stars, my wife said, ‘I don’t want to live here. I’m going back to France.’ ” He recalled. “I said, ‘Are you kidding me? I can’t leave.’ ” And he didn’t.
