'Jersey Shore's'Ronnie and Sammi reunite in Italy: Exes caught kissing and holding hands

That's amore -- again.

"Jersey Shores"'s on-off-on-off coupleRonnie Ortiz-MagroandSammi"Sweetheart"Giancolaare back together for what seems like the billionth time.

The two were caught kissing, hugging and holding hands while inFlorence,Italy, where they're filming the next season of theMTVshow, reportsRadar.

When"Jersey Shore"ended its third season in March, Ortiz-Magro and Giancola were split, seemingly once and for all, after he caught her in a lie about hooking up with a guy named Arvin. Although Giancola denied any hanky-panky, Ortiz-Magro got Arvin on the phone, who revealed the truth:"Sam, we've made out before."

The couple's countless fights -- which, at times, turned physical -- served as the plot line for many episodes last season. In one, Giancola, 24, punched Ortiz-Magro, 23, in the face after he made amends with her then-nemesisJenni"JWoww"Farley.

Later, he trashed their shared bedroom and even threw her bed onto the adjoining outdoor deck. After that, Giancola moved out of theirSeaside Heightsshore house -- only to be wooed back when he sent her flowers.

Ironically, Ortiz-Magro, along with Farley, is currently writing a book called"Never Fall in Love at the Jersey Shore."

For the fourth season of"Jersey Shore,"the cast will reportedly be working in a local pizzeria in Florence.

Kanye West spotted with Miss Europe 2005 Shermine Shahrivar at Cannes after dating Angela Martini

Angela Martinimissed her flight toCanneson Wednesday night - and it's probably a good thing.

HadMiss Universe Albania2010 actually jetted to the Croisette, she might have caughtKanye Westmaking time with another beauty queen: Miss Europe 2005 Shermine Shahrivar.

A source in the South ofFrancetells us the hip-hop artist was cozy with Shahrivar, who's of Iranian descent but now lives in theU.S.and has modeled forAmerican Apparel. She was recently linked with"Twilight"actorXavier Samuel.

The knife-eyed brunette met West at the poolside VIP area at the after-party for amfAR's"Cinema Against AIDS"fund-raiser at the Hotel du Cap in nearbyAntibes.

Our source says West and Shahrivar"kind of avoided each other"for part of the night, but eventually slunk off"to a couch by themselves."They left"hand in hand,"around 2:30 a.m., the source adds.

We're also hearing that West and Shahrivar were together at the Cannes club restaurant Baoli on Tuesday night.

West has certainly been popular at Cannes. Sunday, he was photographed kissing a blond on a hotel balcony. The woman was initially reported to beKate Upton, but more recent speculation is that she was model/actressVirginie Maury.

Shots of Kanye's Cannes clinch did not sit well with Martini. A stateside source says that after the hottie saw the images, she canceled her original plan to fly to Cannes last Sunday.

As we reported last week, Martini and West have been seeing each other for about five months, although one source familiar with the couple seemed skeptical that their relationship was"exclusive."

That said, we hear they went to theCoachella Music Festivaltogether inIndio, Calif., last month, and traveled together toParismore than once, most recently at the end of April. A source there says Kanye and Martini partied at La Villa, where the rapper introduced Martini as his"girlfriend."They also attended theCostume Instituteafter-party at the Top of the Standard on May 2.

But Martini already may be thinking of her jet-setting romance with West in the past tense. Martini booked another flight for Cannes for late Wednesday, but as she tweeted at @Angela-Martini the following day:"My flight got cancel{led} last night,"adding: )."I guess everything happens for a reason ! NY is where the love is."

You can say that again, Ange.

Just call him the'Gropinator': Arnold's baby-mama reportedly boasted he was grabby

LOS ANGELES- The"Gropinator"had at least least one fan - his baby-mama maid.

Mildred Baenareportedly boasted thatArnold Schwarzeneggerwas grabby, the very behavior that nearly doomed his political aspirations.

"Mildred said he had long hands. He would grab her behind often,"saidNora Montes, 57, whose daughter was married to Baena's eldest son until 2009, told the Daily News.

"She liked the attention."

Others didn't. When the former movie star was running for governor ofCaliforniain 2004, he was rocked by allegations from six women who said he had wandering hands.

He denied groping anyone - and wifeMaria Shriverstood by him even as he admitted he had"behaved badly sometimes."

That was a whopper of an understatement considering that Schwarzenegger had already sired a love child with Baena, his family's trusted housekeeper.

Shriver was in the dark until Schwarzenegger left the governor's office in January and then confessed to the affair and secret son.

But she had certainly met the child, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the"Conan the Barbarian"muscleman. Montes says Schwarzenegger took his onetime paramour and the kid on at least one family vacation.

The former"Terminator"money-machine has put his Hollywood comeback on hold while the scandal unfolds.

The two-timer's animated"Governator"TV series - in which he was to be an action hero with a double life - bit the dust. He also canceled an appearance at the grand opening ofUniversal StudiosSingaporenext week.

"He was not disinvited. He called them on Tuesday to say he did not want to travel toAsia,"a source close to him said."His focus is not on himself. From his standpoint, it's not about him anymore. It's about his family."

Shriver's four kids are said to be rallying around her. Eldest daughter Katherine, 21, reportedly is furious.

"It's tense,"an insider told Us magazine."Everyone feels betrayed and embarrassed that it's out in the open. Not for their dad's sake but for Maria."

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dominique Strauss-Kahn have much (disgrace) in common

Spectacular-Fall-From-Grace Week was in high gear inManhattan Criminal Courton Thursday, when a court officer admonished the chattering classes to zip it.

"Okay, people!"he said."Keep it down to a dull roar!"

Cops were about to bring in one of the most powerful men in the world,Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who was a front-runner for the French presidency until this week when, prosecutors say, he failed to zip something else and attacked a hotel maid.

Think a hornyWarren Buffett/Hillary Clintonhybrid.

Strauss-Kahn's rich wife,Anne Sinclair, was theDiane SawyerofFrancebefore she gave up her career to further her oversexed hubby's political ambitions.

Wait a minute, do I have the right story - is thisMaria ShriverandArnold Schwarzenegger?

No, that was the other plummet fromMount Olympusthis week: A couple who had everything: money, power, looks, happiness - and a horny guy with a deep, dark secret.

"She looks a wreck,"said one courtroom observer of Sinclair, there to find out ifJudge Michael Obuswould let her husband live with her in an apartment she's rented in the city, rather than stay inRikers Island.

See, they don't have hors d'ouevres there. Definitely no fois gras. At Rikers, it's ...how do you say"yucky"in French?

The bail amount offered by the defense - $1 million - is said to be Sinclair's cash. Strauss-Kahn claims to have a net worth of only $2 million.

Could I get the name of his accountant please?

Sinclair's got plenty more where that came from: She is the sole heir of her grandfatherPaul Rosenberg, one of the first art dealers to discoverPicasso.

This week, Sinclair defended her husband against charges of a sexual attack made by a hotel maid, a hardworkingBronxwidow and mother who is ironically from a French colony.

"He will be found innocent,"Sinclair said after Saturday's incident.

She didn't change her statement to her fellow journalists yesterday.

Sinclair has defended Strauss-Kahn before, when a staffer at theInternational Monetary Fundclaimed he sexually harassed her. This week, the goddaughter of his second wife said he'd done the same to her.

Maria Shriver also stood by her man when six women came forward during Schwarzenegger's gubernatorial campaign to claim he groped them.

I guess Shriver thought all those disparate women were hallucinating. We're not sure what Sinclair really thinks of her husband'sNew Yorkaccuser, a devout Muslim, and why she would make up such a claim.

As Strauss-Kahn heard in the American courtroom, there's a presumption of innocence in this country.

Key forensic test results are not back yet, and an American jury has yet to hear the case.

Despite standing in a courtroom on the 13th floor, Thursday was Strauss-Kahn's lucky day.

Obus decreed Strauss-Kahn could get out of Rikers today to live under house arrest, watched 2-4/7 by private armed guards and videocams.

An even bigger worry will be the public eye in what is sure to be a media circus that will dwarf theO.J. Simpsonmurder case.

"It's not like this in France,"a French diplomat sniffed.

"The initial investigations of cases are all done privately, with just the judge and the lawyers."

Welcome toAmerica, pal.

'The Bachelor'star Brad Womack and Emily Maynard's engagement may be off, Brad'drunk dials'her

Are they or aren't they?

Brad Womack and Emily Maynard - the tabloid-happy pair who initially met while filming"The Bachelor"- are reportedly in a rough patch again, and this time for good.

According to sources close to the couple, the rocky relationship has officially ended, but Bachelor Brad can't seem to let go.

"Brad and Emily are over, and Brad keeps drunk-dialing her,"an insider toldUs magazine."Brad is such a loser."

Distance is reportedly the culprit of the split, though the problem is hardly new. The two lovebirds acknowledged it would be an issue at the start of theirrelationshipand eventual engagement last November.

"Emily is happy in Charlotte {North Caroline} and is not moving to Austin with {her 5-year-old daughter} Ricki,"another source said."She is content."

Us also reported that single mom Maynard was the one to initiate the separation because she didn't want to relocate 5-year-old daughter Ricki.

The pair previously split earlier this year, when rumors of infidelity tainted the engagement.

"Brad seemed very complacent all of a sudden,"an insider toldLife& Styleat the time."He did everything he could to woo and charm Emily on the show, and then it just slowed.

"Emily knows he likes Texas, he likes his bars and booze, so she's just wondering if he likes someone else. It started to really worry Emily. She felt like, 'If he's not wanting to see her, who is he with?'"

Titans of business, Warren Buffett and George Soros, avoid each other at HBO party

HBO's"Too Big to Fail"film premiere was not big enough to keepWarren BuffettandGeorge Sorosin the same room.

Sources who attended the cable network's bash at the Four Seasons say theWall Streetrock stars, whose investment strategies couldn't be more different, stayed well apart during the evening.

A source tells us Soros held court at a table in the center of the Four Seasons' Grill Room, where titans of finance lunch on weekdays.

Buffett, however, presided over a table of female financial journalists in the Pool Room, which is at the other end of a long passageway.

With the two titans of finance in opposite strongholds, one reveler says,"It was like having a scale of wealth"teetering back and forth. The soiree feted HBO's adaptation ofAndrew Ross Sorkin's book about the 2008 Wall Street crash and subsequent bailout.

Neither investor seemed interested in upsetting the balance by mingling. In fact, another party guest says that when Buffett arrived at the party via the Grill Room, with financial writerDevon Spurgeon, a photographer approached to suggest theBerkshire Hathawaybillionaire take a shot with Soros, who was also with"a much younger blond."

"Buffett looked a little uncomfortable with the request,"the source says."He said he was on his way into the other room and then hurried away,"with blond in tow.

Safely ensconced in the Pool Room, the elegantly dressed Buffett ensured privacy by taking a table on the raised terrace, which is protected by a brass railing. A source says he was further buffered by an all-female table of guests including Spurgeon, Fortune editorCarol Loomis,CNBC'sBecky Quickand BusinessWire's Cathy Baron Tamraz.

"No one could get to him,"says one source, who said that despite Buffett's sequestered state, he was able to enjoy the lavish Four Seasons spread, thanks to one woman at his table who ministered to his culinary needs.

"He was sitting right by the dessert buffet. And he enjoyed that dessert buffet a lot,"says the source.

Also at the party wereEd Asner, who plays Buffett in the film;William Hurt, who we hear is memorable asTreasury Secretary Hank Paulson;Ajay Mehta, who portraysCitibankchiefVikram Pandit; andCynthia Nixon, who plays Treasury adviserMichele Davis. That's rich.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver split over baby he fathered with member of household staff

FormerCaliforniagovernorArnold Schwarzeneggerand his glamorous wife,Maria Shriver, split up because he fathered a child with a member of their household staff.

The couple, together for 25 years, announced their separation earlier this month, but remained mum on what cause the split.

Schwarzenegger said in a statement to theLos Angeles Timeslate Monday they broke up after he admitted to Shriver that the child, born 10 years ago, was his.

"After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago,"Schwarzenegger said in the statement.

"I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family,"he said."There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry."

The 63-year-old actor and former bodybuilder asked that the media"respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time. While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not."

Shriver, a television journalist and the daughter ofSargent ShriverandEunice Kennedy Shriver, sister ofJohn F. Kennedy, had no comment, the paper reported.

In a separate statement, the employee told the Times she had initially said her husband at the time was the child's father. The birth occurred years before Schwarzenegger became governor of California in 2004.

Another source told the Times that Schwarzenegger has supported the child financially from the beginning.

The newspaper reported that the child's mother had worked for the couple for at least 20 years before retiring in January. The Times did not reveal her name, job or of the gender of the child.

"I wanted to achieve my 20 years, then I asked to retire,"the woman said, noting she"left on good terms."

Schwarzenegger had faced accusations in the past that he had a habit of groping women. Shriver, 55, stood by him during that period, but the"Conan"actor later admitted he"behaved badly sometimes."

The couple has four children together, two girls and two boys. They have been married since 1986.

Since his term as California's governor ended in early January, Schwarzenegger has traveled the globe, meeting with world leaders and trying to restart his movie career. He is expected to return to the big screen in the drama"Cry Macho."

The former action star may also resurrect the blockbuster"Terminator"movie franchise.
