But,"she's going to get her own condo there. She's not moving in with him,"the insider adds.

Mum is the word forCarey Mulliganwhen it comes to her new romance withMarcus Mumfordof the indie band Mumford& Sons, but the two have been showing a little PDA on both sides of the Atlantic

According to theDaily Mail, theOscar-nominatedactress, 25, is in the midst of a whirlwind romance with the 24-year-old British folk singer, whom she is currently with on a romantic trip in theBuckinghamshirearea of southeastEngland.

The twosome also reportedly spent time together in the historicOrkney Islandslast week.

"They've also been spending time at Marcus'Londonhome in Shepherd's Bush,"a source told the British newspaper.

Sparks apparently flew between the pair after Mulligan attended a secret Mumford& Sons show last month at the home of The Apache Relay guitaristMike HarrisinNashville.

Mulligan brought actorJake Gyllenhaalalong to the Feb. 7 party, where an insider toldUs Weeklythey hung out with the band until the end of the night.

Mumford and Mulligan were spotted together a few days later at a secretArcade Fireshow inNew York City, before they headed over to a private members only club, a second source told Us.

"They were whispering to each other and enjoying the show,"the source said."They definitely seemed like a couple."

A-Rod, the movie star? Cameron Diaz has hopes to costar in romantic comedy with Yankees slugger beau

If Cameron Diaz has her way,YankeessluggerAlex Rodriguezcould soon be swinging for a Hollywood hit.

Diazis reportedly mulling a romantic comedy that would star her real-life leading man as her on-screen leading man.

"TheGreen Hornet"actress' idea is conveniently set aroundMajor League Baseball, a source close to her told theDaily Express, a British newspaper.

Diaz has been spending her spring inTampa, watching the highest-paid man in baseball and the Bombers tune up for their home opener Thursday.

Until now, her interest in baseball has been linked more to her romance with A-Rod than research.

"She's very excited about developing her own projects, and the fact this one is about a baseball player means she has good reason to spend more time with A-Rod and the Yankees,"the source said.

"She's even thinking that Alex could star in the movie with her."

A-Rod, 35, who has also dated Hollywood actressKate Hudsonand once fell under part-time movie starMadonna's kabbalah spell, has appeared only in commercials.

Last July,Variety magazinereported he was slated to make his acting debut in the romantic comedy"Friends With Benefits,"but the role never materialized.

If Rodriguez gets the green light this time, he'll be the third New York pro ball player to co-star with Diaz in a movie.

Giantsdefensive legendLawrence Taylorplayed the role of Luther (Shark) Lavay opposite Diaz in the 1999Oliver Stonefootball film"Any Given Sunday."

FormerJetsquarterbackBrett Favreplayed a romantic interest of Diaz's in the 1998Farrelly brothersmovie"There's Something about Mary."

Rodriguez would also become the second active Yankee with a movie credit. Bombers captainDerek Jeterplayed a down-and-out Derek Jeter in last year's action-comedy"TheOther Guys."

'Glee'guest star and former'Full House'stud John Stamos still has a way with the ladies

John Stamosstunned a stunning brunette during brunch at Lavo on Saturday. A source tells us the actor was exiting the men's room with bodyguard in tow when a lovely lady in her 20s stopped him in his tracks. The"Glee"guest star told the hottie,"You're so pretty,"then leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. Before the woman could regain her composure, Stamos strutted back into the main room to rejoin the carnivallike weekly party there.

Sumpter always gives friends a lil sum'thing sum'thing

Tika Sumpterdidn't let her friend go home empty-handed fromRebecca Taylor'sMeatpacking Districtstore-opening Wednesday night. After the"Gossip Girl"actress' gal pal tried on a scalloped, strapless dress from Taylor's spring collection, she decided against buying it and left it in the dressing room. WhenSumter, 27, found out, one source tells us, she marched back to the cubicle, which was occupied by another partygoer, retrieved the frock and bought it for her pal along with a bowling bag-style purse for herself.

The Queen is tired

Aretha Franklinbailed on birthday plans to see"Driving Miss Daisy"on Friday night, disappointing the theatergoers and paparazzi who waited in front of the Golden Theatre hoping to catch a glimpse of the 69-year-old singer. After taking in aKnicksgame Wednesday and dinner withClive DavisThursday, a source tells us Aretha was just too tired for a play. So while she rested up for her birthday bash later that night,Al Rokerand his wifeDeborah Robertstook her seats. Alas, Franklin's not always quite so generous. Guests at her Park Lane party got one drink coupon apiece, then had to pay at a cash bar. But hey, she's the Queen of Soul, not the Queen of Comps!

Shandling has plenty of fans

Garry Shandlingknows where to get some reaffirmation when he needs it. At the after-party at Monkey Bar forComedy Central's Comedy Awards,"The Larry Sanders Show"star held court with what appeared to be a Greek chorus of male comedy hopefuls in slim-fitting suits and skinny ties.  Shandling had been one of the evening’' presenters, and his unfocused spiel had been the subject of a joke byDavid Lettermanlater that night. At the bar, Shandling— noting that Dave"took a shot"at him— asked the worshipful men,"Did I embarrass myself?""No!"the Rat-Pack repros replied almost in union."You were fantastic!"

Kaplan says he's no bigot

Earlier this month, we reported that makeup artistJasen Kaplanaccused Avenue doormanWass Stevensof using a homophobic slur when he barred the stylist from the club during a party forAubrey O'Day. Stevens initially declined to comment, but he's since come forward to insist that Kaplan's"reported statements are inaccurate and a complete fabrication."He added, I've never used an offensive slur of this nature against him or anyone else,"and"I've never been accused of this kind of bigotry."
 
Stevens' account of what happened that night is substantially different from Kaplan's. The doorman claims the makeup artist became"aggressive and belligerent"when his name was not on the guest list, and Kaplan was asked to call one of the party's organizers to come down and vouch for him.

In Kaplan's version, the person who came down was a woman. In Stevens' account, it was a man, who, he says,"apologized to me"after witnessing part of Kaplan's"tirade."As a result of Kaplan's alleged aggressiveness, Stevens said he decided not to let the makeup artist into the club because"he was a potential safety risk."The differences don't end there, but since Kaplan stands by his account and says the club's surveillance tapes would bear him out— and since we have additional sources backing up each side in this contretemps — we believe the best route is to let each party have his say.

Comedy Central's first annual Comedy Awards kicks off with Jon Cryer making digs at costar Sheen

Somebody atComedy Central's inaugural Comedy Awards has an ear for irony.

David Letterman, denied the actual"Tonight Show,"was given theJohnny Carsonaward at theHammerstein BallroomSaturday night.

A standing ovation greeted Letterman after he was introduced byBill Murray.

Letterman was predictably unmoved, telling the crowd receiving the award was like"NASAgiving theNeil ArmstrongAward toBalloon Boy."

Standing in front of the original rainbow-colored curtain from Carson's"Tonight Show,"Letterman said that everyone who does a talk show today"labors under the shadow of Johnny Carson. Except for Regis {Philbin},"Letterman deadpanned."I don't know what his deal is."

Then, mimicking one of the earlier,"hipper"comics, he said he forgot to say,"Hello, motherf-----s."

Jay Lenowas not mentioned.

Earlier,Stephen Colbertyukked it up, revealing his inferiority complex towardJon Stewart, who won the Late Night Comedy Series award. Colbert said he was tired of playing second fiddle to the lefty laughmaker and ordered everyone off-stage. Colbert then announced that he's accepting the award for"everyone whose soul has been crushed by Jon Stewart."

He called outJimmy KimmelandJack Paar.

Jon Cryer, introducing the Best Actress, Comedy Series award, opened with several thinly veiled digs at his wildman co-starCharlie Sheen. I feel"it's important for an actor to keep out of the public eye,"Cryer said."Luckily a lot of talented people are working on shows that are still in production."

Kristen Wiigtook home the award.

The Icon award went toEddie Murphy, who didn't exactly seem thrilled with the honor."I'm startin' to feel old,"the 49-year-old comic told the crowd of 8,000. It's"definitely an old man's honor."

Bruce Williskept it crude. After taking the stage, the"Die Hard"star proceeded to lead the crowd in chants of the f-word.

On hand were a virtual who's who of funny people:Bill Hader,Andy Richter,Trey ParkerandMatt Stone,Andy Samburg,Gary Shandling,Alec Baldwin, teenage actressChloe Moretz,Tracy MorganandTina Fey.

George Lopez apologizes for comparing Kirstie Alley to a pig:'No malice was intended'

DespiteGeorge Lopezfinally realizing he made a stinky move when he comparedKirstie Alleyto a pig during a segment on Monday's"Lopez Tonight,"the funnyman's mea culpa came too little, too late.

The comedian, who showed a clip of Alley's debut performance on"Dancing with the Stars"with"her little hooves tapping away,"extended an olive branch onTwitterThursday.

"I misjudged the joke,"hetweeted."No malice was intended and I apologize to Kirstie."

Though she initally told her Twitter followers not to"worry about George's comments,"Alley shot back at the comedian Friday morning and suggested what it would take Lopez to win her forgiveness.

"I don't need or want ur apology...I want your kidney dude..on behalf of ur X and all the women uv insulted...give it back,"shetweeted, making a dig at Lopez - who suffers from a genetic kidney disorder - receiving one of his now-ex-wife's organs during a transplant surgery in 2005.

"I don't consider 'I misjudged the joke' an apology,"Alley continued."sorta like a husband saying 'I misjudged putting my d--- in a w----"...sorry hon..hehe"

But less than two hours later, the fiesty actress let Lopez off the hook.

"take life as lightly as u can and then move on ...even u George ....u are forgiven.....:)"Alley wrote.

BEST CELEBRITY FOOT-IN-MOUTH MOMENTS

The mini-feud began when Lopez's joke gone wrong also included a mangling of the classic"This Little Piggy"nursery rhyme.

"Before the show, she went to the market and then she had roast beef,"Lopez said during his show monologue.

"And this is her going all the way home,"he continued before it cut to a clip of aGeicocommercial featuring a squealing pig in a car.

Alley returns to the"DWTS"ballroom for a second performance with partnerMaksim Chmerkovskiyon Monday after getting rave reviews from the judges this week.

But if Lopez, clearly unimpressed with Alley's moves, believes in the widespread reality series"vote for the worst"theory, the actress just may be able to rely on him to stay in the competition.

Chris Brown parties with lingerie-clad women to celebate album release hours after'GMA'outburst

ForChris Brown, it seems there's nothing a good party can't fix.

The singer's album release party atWebster Hallwent on as planned Tuesday, allowing Brown to party his troubles away hours after his violent outburst at"Good Morning America."

Brown, who stormed off the set and broke a window after an interview withRobin Robertsfocused more on his volatile past with ex-girlfriendRihannathan his new album"F.A.M.E,"sang and watched in awe as women danced around him in lingerie.

The only thing the party seemed to have in common with his raucous morning was that Brown was shirtless at times, wearing a jacket with nothing underneath. His skin glistened with sweat just as it had when he left"GMA"that morning shirtless after his meltdown.

Brown also spent the hours after his explosion playing basketball, visiting an art gallery, indulging in a private dinner party in celebration of his album and walking hand-in-hand with an unidentified lady friend.

PHOTOS: WHEN STARS ATTACK!

He still seemed to be in good spirits Wednesday during an appearance on BET's"106& Park,"but turned serious when he spoke about his actions at"GMA."

"I'm great,"he said when the co-hosts asked how he was doing."Actually as you can see after the incident, you saw me out with my people, just trying to enjoy life and enjoy this experience of having my album out."

"I just think yesterday– first of all, I want to apologize to anybody who was startled in the office, anybody who was offended or really looked disappointed in my actions because I was disappointed in the way I acted,"Brown said.

"You know, a lot of people don't really know what went down. When I do shows, when I do interviews, we always send out like a talking points sheet,"he explained,"and if the network or whoever isn't compliant with what we want to do so we can equally accomplish our goals, we usually kind of back out and wait until it's a better situation."


Brown had an unidentified female friend by his side Tuesday night. (Busacca/Getty)

"So when we did this event, everything was cool. We were supposed to perform. The talking points were positivity, creative and everything that was sent tome. It was about the album, that's what we were talking about,"Brown claimed.

"So as the interview proceeded, I was thrown off by– I felt like it was ‘okay, they told us this just so they could get us on the show, to exploit me,' that's what I thought,"he said."So I took it very, very hard. I kind of kept my composure throughout the whole interview, although you could see me upset. I kept my composure, did my performance."

"And when I got back, I just like let off steam in the back. I didn't physically hurt anyone. I didn't try to hurt anyone,"Brown said."I just wanted to release just the anger that I had inside me because I felt like I worked so hard for this music and I love my fans and I love being able to make positive music that I felt like people kept just trying to take it away from, take it away from me."

A CHRIS BROWN-RIHANNA TIMELINE

"So, yes, I got very emotional and I apologize for acting like that,"he said."And I wanna tell Team Breezy as well, if you love me, if you love the whole movement we're doing, all the music I'm putting out, please, please know that everybody is beautiful. You're beautiful."

"Robin Roberts,"he added,"do not send any threats {to her} because I've been hearing stuff overTwitter. We don't need that. We as a movement move as positive people. We love everybody. Us, as a generation of kids and adults, we need to take a stand and be more positive and kind of focus on the real issues in life and the real positive side of things."

In astatement,ABC Newsrefuted part of Brown's explanation, saying,"Chris Brown was invited on 'Good Morning America' to perform and to be interviewed. There were no talking points offered."

Roberts, who had interviewed Brown in the past, maintained that"even right before the interview,"she went over with him what they would discuss.

An invitation for Brown to return to the show still stands.

Aretha Franklin has big plans for her 69th birthday in New York, following tradition

Aretha Franklinknows how to celebrate! The Queen of Soul will ring in her 69th birthday Friday right here inNYC, and she's got big plans. Not that we're surprised - how could a Do-Right Woman do a party wrong?

Franklin will start her evening at"Driving Miss Daisy,"the Broadway revival at the Golden Theatre starringVanessa RedgraveandJames Earl Jones. She'll see the show with a group of nine friends. According to a source, Franklin made the phone call herself when buying the 10 tickets, which we hear is typical behavior for the apparently un-diva-like songstress. (Mariah CareyandJennifer Lopez, take note.)

The combination of theater and James Earl Jones has become a bit of a birthday tradition for Franklin. To celebrate her 66th, she took in Tennessee Willliams'"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,"in which Jones appeared  withTerrence HowardandPhylicia Rashad.

She also saw the actor in the show"On Golden Pond"in 2005.

This production of"Daisy,"however, knows a thing or two about birthday festivities. As Gatecrasher reported in January, the cast celebrated Jones' own 80th with two cakes onstage after the performance— one sugar-free, since he's diabetic.

After the show, Franklin will proceed to her own party. And while she may not be blowing out candles in front of an audience, she should still save room for cake.

One bit of speculation around town is that Franklin's birthday dessert will be provided by famedHarlemsoul-food restaurant Sylvia's.

Maybe the staff at the Lenox Ave. destination is extremely good at keeping a secret or maybe those plans have changed. When we called Sylvia's to inquire about the eatery's involvement, a rep there claimed to know of no plans to feed Franklin.

Perhaps the Queen of Soul is taking special care in putting together the menu for her fete, considering her recent dramatic loss of 85 pounds.

Franklin has attributed the downsizing of her figure to diet and healthy living rather than a rumored gastric-bypass surgery.

As for location, a spy tells us she was spotted Tuesday at the Helmsley Park Lane, which supports previous reports that theCentral ParkSouth hotel would be the site of her star-studded birthday bash.

The insider adds that 100 of Aretha's nearest and dearest friends are expected to attend the celebration, where a live band will entertain the crowd. It's unclear whether Aretha plans to perform at her own party, but we hope there's some serious talent on hand: Imagine civilians butchering"Happy Birthday"for the Queen.

Chris Brown's rampage: Anger management may have had little impact

Chris Brown's court-ordered anger management course doesn't seem to have done much good - and that doesn't surprise one New York therapist who treats rage issues.

"At a certain level, an anger management plan isn't going to work,"Dr. Robert Fraum said.

"You need one-to-one with an anger management therapist who utilizes a variety of techniques to focus on the psychological, behavioral and family components. You need to come at it in every way possible."

Fraum said singer Brown, who took classes after he beat up ex-girlfriend Rhianna, may have low self-esteem.

"Anger focuses,"he said."It makes them feel empowered and their sense of self-esteem is restored momentarily."

Other celebrities who have also fallen off the anger management bandwagon:

- Supermodel Naomi Campbell went to anger management after she spat at a police officer in a fight over missing baggage at London's Heathrow Airport in 2008.

In 2010, she was back in the headlines accused of assaulting her driver, who later said he"overreacted."

- Rap princess Foxy Brown enrolled after getting into a brawl in a nail salon in 2004.

She received an"an excellent report from probation"but was back in court last year for cursing out and mooning her neighbor on a Brooklyn sidewalk.

- Alec Baldwin was ordered to attend anger management classes after his divorce from Kim Basinger in 2002.

In 2007, during the ensuing custody battle over their daughter, Ireland, he left a voicemail for his daughter branding her"a rude, thoughtless, little pig."

Jimmy Kimmel is'too old'to hang with the young'uns at SXSW, Beyonce and B.o.B tear up late nights

Jimmy Kimmelneeds his space. A source tells us the talk-show host showed up at the Austin Power Plant to seeKanye WestandJay-Zperform at the VEVO Presents concert atSXSWon Saturday, but left before they hit the stage because he couldn't handle the cheek-to-jowl crowd of 2,500. (Kid CudiandMos Defwere also part of the all-star lineup.) Our insider heard the 43-year-old Kimmel grouse,"I'm too old for this,"before he made an early exit.

Making a fashionably late appearance at the Chevrolet-sponsored show wasBeyonce, who, according to another source there, stayed inside her trailer until Jay joined Kanye in concert. The delicious diva then headed to the side of the stage where she danced and sang along to her hubby's performance.

Also at SXSW, artistB.o.Bwas overheard telling his posse at the Express Rocks! Music Lounge and UV Vodka fete on Friday that he didn't get back to his hotel room until 6 a.m. the previous morning. That's what they call ultra-fashionably late.

Brown,Roy Brown

James Francolikes to use a particular pseudonym when he checks into hotels— and we'd love to know why.The Oscarshost checked into theChateau Marmontunder"Roy Brown"last week, a nom de guerre he's used elsewhere. Given Franco's appreciation for the meta, we wonder whether he's referring to the great jump blues singer Roy Brown, whose"Good Rockin' Tonight"was one ofElvis Presley's first singles; R.A.F. flying ace,Capt. Arthur Roy Brown, who was once credited with shooting down the Red Baron; or someone else. Franco did play a WWI pilot in the 2006 film"Flyboys,"but his character wasn't based on Brown.  His publicist didn't respond by deadline.

Padma's baby daddy

Padma Lakshmiraised eyebrows at The Eldridge Friday night when she was spotted with her arms around an older man who wasn't her reputed billionaire beauTeddy Forstmann. That is, until clubgoers realized it was openly gay"Twelve"filmmakerJoel Schumacher. A source tells us the"Top Chef"host, who is currently linked to Forstmann, 70 (and embroiled in a custody battle with the father of her 13-month-old daughter, venture capitalistAdam Dell), was"all over"Schumacher, 71, at Brandsway Creative's One-Year Anniversary Party. The two took pics together and cuddled up on a couch before Lakshmi hit the dance floor with a girlfriend.

Connor Cruise has the beats

AsLes Grossmanin"Tropic Thunder,"Tom Cruiseshowed the world he knows his way around the hippity hop. Turns out he's not the only one in his family. Cruise's adopted sonConnor Cruiseand his partnerZack Isham, the son of composerMark Isham, deejayed the Whitley Kros design label party at Satine Boutique inWest Hollywoodon Thursday. The boys called their outfit CZ Entertainment and the handsome, sweet-natured Cruise bills himself as"C2"or"C Squared."

Our source says Cruise has been spinning for three years but recently has become more serious about it. (He's also acting in"Red Dawn.")"He was playing lots of hip hop and knew all the lyrics,"says the source."He even did aMichael Jacksonimpersonation."Connor also seemed to be enjoying the company of dark-haired actress Paris Duff. The two danced together, and our source says,"She kept going to the deejay table all night."

Tyra's a tentative tenant

Tyra Bankssure is security-conscious about her apartment at Riverhouse inBattery Park City. An insider tells us that a rep for the"America's Next Top Model"host has had the lock on her front door there changed five times, and she has yet to move in to the waterfront condo. Banks' spokesman reiterated that Banks doesn't live there at the moment, adding:"the only lock that's been changed was changed when the apartment was acquired."

Lady Gaga's beauty secret: I go to sleep with makeup on, but I won't go out without sunscreen

What doesLady Gagareally look like under all that makeup?

It's anyone's guess, including the media maven herself.

The singer, 24, doesn't fully shed her outrageous makeup each night before bed, she reveals in the latest issue ofPeople.

"That is not good for your skin, but I'm blessed with good genes,"she said. She does choose to protect her precious porcelain in other ways, however.

"I don't like to tan my face because it's bad for wrinkles,"the outrageous songstress said, adding that her mother - whom she considers one of her beauty icons - taught her to wash her face with simple products like Ivory soap.

But even otherworldly characters like Gaga aren't immune to the tolls of an industry where image is everything.

The singer, who is a natural brunette, admitted that she had to get a"chemical haircut because {her} blonde hair is falling out"from having to constantly maintain her now-iconic blonde locks.

And her shoes, always a doozy, are no walk in the park either. The pop star admits to constantly wanting a foot massage after stalking around town in her sky-high boots and heels.

Still, Gaga's physical sacrifices are for good reason, she said - she's just being herself.

"Just go with your gut,"she said."Whenever you try to be someone else, it's boring."

Bradley Cooper, Renee Zellweger split after nearly two years together

After nearly two years of dating,Bradley CooperandRenee Zellwegerhave called it quits.

The low-key couple, who never officially confirmed their romance, first met on the 2006 set of their thriller flop,"Case 39,"but didn't begin dating until 2009.

Throughout the course of their under-the-radar romance, Bradley and Zellweger were frequently spotted by each others' side during jaunts toNew York,Los Angeles,Utah,SpainandVancouver.

Their relationship seemed to turn serious during the 2009 holiday season when Zellweger opted to spend the holidays inPhiladelphiawith Cooper's family. Since then, she has often been seen hanging out with the actor's mother in Los Angeles.

Last year, Zellweger even moved into Cooper's $4.7 million, 3-bedroom, 3-bath house inPacific Palisades,Calif.

"I can't say enough about her,"Cooper, 36, gushed about Zellweger to"Entertainment Tonight"last fall."I just love her. I {loved} coming to work. I love acting with her. I can learn so much from her."

Echoing his sentiments, Zellweger, 41, also told"ET,""{Bradley}'s a great, great actor. I just got so excited, not believing that I was going to go to work with him."

The two have since remained tight-lipped about their relationship, which some speculated began to have trouble in February when each attended a pre-Oscar party separately and didn't hang out with together.

Reps for both Cooper and Zellweger have no comment.

Billy Ray Cyrus calls off divorce from Miley's mom Tish:'I want to put my family back together'

It looks likeBilly Ray Cyrushas finally fixed his achy, breaky heart.

"I've dropped the divorce,"the singer and father of teen superstar Mileyrevealed on ABC's"The View"set to air Friday."I want to put my family back together."

Cyrusand his wife Tish, who have five children together, announced their decision to separate last fall after 17 years of marriage."We are trying to work through some personal matters,"they said in a statement."We appreciate your thoughts and prayers."

When Miley was caught on tape smoking salvia shortly after the split, her dad opened up toGQin an emotional interview in which he slammed the vehicle that made his daughter famous.

"The damn show destroyed my family,"he said of theDisney Channelhit"Hannah Montana."

He later tried to distance himself from his comments, tellingPeople magazine,"It is very important to me to work on mending my family right now."

And mend it he did -these days, Cyrus says, his relationship with his family is better than ever.

"Communication, I think, is one of the biggest problems that we as human beings have in this whole world, and I think for the first time me and my entire family are finally communicating with each other in a way that, it's been quite some time,"he said on the show."Things are really the best they've ever been."

He's also managed to restore his relationship with his daughter.

"I feel like I got my Miley back in a way,"he said."I feel like we are the daddy and daughter that we were before Hannah Montana happened."

After opening up about his family, Cyrus took time on the show to promote his new album, due in stores June 28.

He also tried to mend some business fences with an apologetic shout-out toDisney.

Make room
 
Tinsley Mortimer2.0? The divorced socialite, who split fromTopper Mortimerin 2009, is taking things up a notch with beauBrian Mazza. A source tells us Mazza, VP of hospitality for Paige Management, recently moved into Mortimer'sHell's Kitchenapartment, but didn't leave the decor untouched. The insider says the hunky 27-year-old created a"man room"to make the space more masculine. Another source says Tinz, 34, has"basically stopped drinking"because she"doesn't like how she acts"under the influence. The pair, together for about a year, also adopted a Chihuahua named Bambi.

Oh, you pretty thing
 
We hear fashionista favoriteDaphne Guinnesswill be in town this weekend for a photo shoot with rock's Thin White Duke,David Bowie. They will be snapped by photogsMarkus Klinkoand Indrani, who recently worked with Guinness on a one-minuteAlexander McQueentribute film.

Michael Whitelikes to tickle the ivories before he tickles taste buds. DuringTupperware's"Tupper Club"pop-up dinner party at the Setai Fifth Avenue on Tuesday night, the chef behind Marea andAi FioriprovedJohn Legendwasn't the only singer on hand. Legend had just finished performing"The Promise"for the crowd when White took to the piano with a little ditty to introduce his menu's fourth course: veal loin with cipollini onions, endive and pancetta cream sauce. Cured pork products often move us to song, too.
 
Ironic or appropriate? We can't decide

Ex-porn starSasha Greywill release her photo monograph,"NEU SEX,"this month - and the release event ("an intimate Q + A") is at Housing Works. Profits from the event's book sales will benefit Housing Works' AIDS outreach. So"Neu Sex"is safe sex, we assume. The book is published by Vice, apparently taking a break from the globetrotting journalism it's been trumpeting lately to return its comfort zone of hipster fornication.

Big bash for her birthday

Franklin's medical woes - including a mystery surgery last winter and her dramatic subsequent weight loss - are apparently at bay, leaving her free to toast another year in style.

Courtney Love wanted to snort Kurt Cobain's ashes after he died, new book claims

Courtney Lovewas so attached to rocker husbandKurt Cobainthat she wanted to keep his ashes as close to her as possible - by snorting them, a new book claims.

Author and former music reporterNick Strausswrites in his new book that theHole singertried to get him to inhale Cobain's cremated remains with her,RadarOnline.com reports.

"She was serious when she made the suggestion,"Strauss said, according to the gossip site."She actually said she would offer his ashes to me first to snort and then said she would like them."

The only thing that stopped her, Strauss claims, was the fact that he didn't use cocaine.

Strauss's, who tells the tale in his new book"Everybody Loves You When You Are Dead,"says he was at the quirky singer's house inLos Angelesshortly after theNirvana frontman's death when Love proposed the unorthodox idea.

"She leaped off her bed and suddenly said, 'Say hi to Kurt,'"Strauss told Radar.

The singer then produced a tin container which contained a"plastic bag full of white ashes."

"Too bad you don't do coke,"Love said, according to Strauss."Otherwise I'd suggest taking a metal straw to it."

"Yeah, I don’t think that would be the right thing to do,"the writer claims he replied.

"I'd like to though,"Love reportedly said.

Though Love left Cobain's ashes un-inhaled, she isn't the only celebrity who has wanted to snort a loved one's remains.

Rolling StoneslegendKeith Richardsrevealed last year that he snorted his father's ashes.

"As I took the lid off of the box {of ashes}, a fine spray of his ashes blew out on to the table,"the rock star wrote in his autobiographymee."I couldn't just brush him off so I wiped my finger over it and snorted the residue."

Kid chef Greg Grossman failed to wow VIP guests with five-course meal, reality TV plans on hold

It's not easy being theJustin BieberofNew York's culinary world.

Greg Grossman, the 15-year-old chef prodigy who's been written about inNew York magazineand onEater.com, stumbled out of the gate when he cooked a five-course meal for a gathering of VIPs at Hank andBrandon Freid'sSanctuary HotelThursday night. And, it turns out, Grossman's first foray into reality television was similarly half-baked.

The teen toque, who specializes in the style of cooking known as molecular gastronomy, served as celebrity chef for"The Feast,"a three-day"pop-up"restaurant that functioned out of the hotel.

Among those who showed up for Grossman's debut meal were"Sex and the City"costume designerPatricia Field, nightclub ownerAmy Sacco, actressCassandra Seidenfeld,"Real Housewives of New York City"starJill Zarinand social publicistR. Couri Hay, who dubbed Grossman the"Justin Bieber of the culinary world."

Grossman was billed grandly as"Wunderkind Chef"on the ambitious menu for the meal, which was inspired by a series of well-known artworks.

First up was a dish based on one ofJeff Koons' balloon dog sculptures. Alas, the frozen— and very orange — concoction, made with carrot, Stilton cheese and cardamom, had diners thinking"bib"not"Bieber,"and a crestfallen Grossman watched as the majority of the creations were returned to the kitchen, barely touched.

The teen's attentive mother, Terre, sitting near us, explained that the dish did not come off as planned because her son was used to working with"adult professionals,"not the catering staff that helped prepare the meal. That, and a mixup with the ice, kept the daring dish from freezing to perfection.

Mom also proudly told us that although her son had inked a deal with theNYCproduction company Picture This Television to do a reality series, he had opted out of the deal because it"just wasn't right"and because he was worried what"his contemporaries"would think. (Greg pretty much reiterated this later that night.)

A source close to the production company gave us a different account, however. The insider said that after Picture This spent time with Greg and his family,"the components did not add up for a show,"and in early fall 2009, it terminated plans for a production deal with the young chef."You always hope the storytelling is there,"claims a source close to Picture This."It just wasn't."

Reps for Grossman and Picture This did not respond by deadline.

Grossman, meanwhile, redeemed himself later Thursday with his subsequent dishes— including a strip steak inspired byRoy Lichtenstein's 1962 painting"Meat"— that had diners cleaning their plates. Perhaps Grossman's next encounter with TV will fare better, too.

Meet Bristol Palin's new boyfriend: Wasilla native busted with questionable Facebook comments

Bristol Palin's new boyfriend might not exactly be a step up fromLevi Johnston, the father of her child, Tripp.

On hisFacebookprofile, first unearthed byGawker.com, Palin's new beauGiancinto Paolettireveals that he works for Refrigeration Unlimited and like Palin's parents, lives inWasilla,Alaska.

In February, Palinconfirmed to E!that she was dating Paoletti, whom she had known for a long time.

"He's awesome with Tripp and we've been really good friends for a long time, and he's just a really good guy.

"He's a good guy,"she repeated."He's a family guy. He's a Christian. We have all the same religious beliefs and our families both come first in our lives, and we just have a lot in common…He loves Tripp and he's just awesome to be around."

But according to his Facebook page, he might not be so ready for the political stage. Among his favorite movies are the homophobic fan page of"Twilight is gay"and his activities include"Being classy as {expletive} withKyle Wilson".

It also appears he edited his page since the website first found it. According to screenshots posted on Gawker, Paoletti refers to people as"n****"and goes back and forth about whether or not he would have sex with a girl who is"250 and has down sindrome (sic)."

Like Johnston though, he apparently isn't too fond ofSarah Palin. He referred to her reality show as“Idiot's of Alaska (sic)”.

Palin insisted that her parents were quite fond of the new guy in her life in the February interview.

"They like him a lot,"she said.

Charlie Sheen looking for social media intern, applicants without #TigerBlood need not apply

Fired from his hit show this week,Charlie Sheenis ready to be the boss.

"I'm looking to hire a #winning INTERN with #TigerBlood,"the out-of-control actor wrote on hisTwitterpage Monday,linking to an applicationatInternships.com.

In less than 48 hours, the ad attracted over 74,000 applicants, according to the website.

"Do you have #TigerBlood? Are you all about #Winning? Can you #PlanBetter than anyone else?"the ad reads."If so, we want you on #TeamSheen as our social media #TigerBloodIntern!"

Sheen's partnership withInternships.comis his first paid Twitter sponsorship, according to theAssociated Press, and was set up byLos Angelesfirm Ad.ly, which brokers deals for celebrities to earn money by promoting products in their tweets.

"We are harnessing the power of Hollywood to help ignite our platform,"Robin Richards, chief executive of Internships.com told theWall Street Journal.

Ad.ly did not reveal how much it paid for the endorsement, but admitted it was the priciest tweet in the company's history.

The opportunity to join Sheen's media circus is advertised as an 8-week full-time paid internship this summer.

"This unique internship opportunity will allow a hard-working, self-motivated, creative, resourceful and social media savvy individual to work closely with Charlie Sheen in leveraging his social network,"says the ad."The internship will focus on executing a social media strategy that will build on the success Charlie Sheen has attained in setting theGuinness World Recordfor the fastest time to reach one million followers on Twitter."

Sheen's tweet promoting the ad garnered 95,333 clicks in an hour and reached users in 181 countries, the site claims.

The trainwreck TV star, who was officially canned from his role on"Two and a Half Men"this week after unleashing repeated verbal attacks on his former co-stars and producers, has now amassed nearly 2.5 million Twitter followers.

Having embraced his social media power to connect with fans online through his sporadic posts and unpredictable webcast, Sheen's attempt to hire an intern appears to be more of an internet stunt to attract publicity than a legitimate job offer.

Nevertheless, prospective interns need only submit a 75-word essay by March 11 to be considered. The subject?"Tell Charlie why you're #winning."

And prospective #winners, take note– it might not be as easy as it seems.

"Capturing Sheen's voice won't be easy,"social media consultantGary Clapptold AOL News,"so drink a lot before you tweet."

Lily Allen opens up about miscarriage, eating disorder in'From Riches to Rags'documentary

Since suffering a miscarriage while six months pregnant last fall,Lily Allenhas kept a limited public profile.

But the British singer is finally ready to open up about her devastating loss.

In the upcoming documentary series,"Lily Allen: From Riches to Rags,"the 25-year-old discusses her difficult pregnancy, which had followed an earlier miscarriage in 2008.

"It was a really long battle,"Allen said, according to London'sDaily Mail,"and I think that kind of thing changes a person."

In the interview, the music artist also revealed she has struggled with an eating disorder.

"It's not something I'm proud of,"she said."But, I tell you what, a lot of people came up to me telling me how great I looked and I'd be on the cover of every magazine."

"I thought I looked good and it was great to be able to try on clothes and feel a million dollars,"Allen explained."But I wasn't happy. I really wasn't."

The three-part series, which premieres in theU.K.on March 15, also examines Allen's relationship with her sister, Sarah, and their quest to open their clothing store, Lucy in Disguise.

Allen, who became engaged to boyfriendSam Cooperin December, met withChaneldesignerKarl Lagerfeldon Tuesday to discuss her wedding gown.

After Allen's engagement, a source told Daily Mail that"it has been a terrible time for Lily and Sam, but they are totally in love with one another."

"It all came out of the blue - but Lily was overwhelmed and they are both overjoyed,"the insider added."They can look to the future now."

It's come to this: Tom Brady spotted with supermodel wife Gisele and ... a ponytail

He might make about $18 million a year, but it seems thatTom Bradycan't afford a haircut.

Much to the dismay of fans, theNew England Patriots' quarterback was photographed with wifeGisele Bundchensporting a ponytail at Carnival inRio de Janeiro.

"So evidently Tom Brady is now rocking a ponytail? Great scrunchie bro,"oneMichiganfan tweeted.

Brady's evolution from the short-haired cover boy of theNFLto ponytailed vacationer has been a long time in the works.

Last season,Randy Moss' final exit from the Patriots was rumored to be around an argument  that began when Moss told Brady to cut his hair because he looks like a girl.

Even teen pop starJustin Biebertook a shot at Brady in October, telling the quarterback to stop ripping off his style.

"Nice haircut Brady,"he told theBoston Heraldin an email."Dude's got golden locks. Haha!"

Bieber's manager,Scooter Braun, told the newspaper:"As aJetsfan I kind of enjoy the idea of Brady walking into his barber shop and saying, 'Let me get the Bieber.' So classic."

Tom Brady even got teased by Justin Bieber for this look (Townson/AP)

Clearly Bradyhasn't listened to the boys - mostly because of a certain supermodel in his life.

When asked in one radio interview last year what the radio host had to do to make him cut his hair, Brady replied:"You'll have to speak to my wife about that."

Brady hasn't always had great luck with his locks. In December,Rogainealleged that he had a bald spot and offered him a free supply of the hair-growing product. And in November, theNational Enquirerreported Brady's car was spotted outside of Leonard Hair Transplant Associates inCranston,R.I.

"Great heads of hair are perceived as being strong people, better-looking people,"Dr. Raymond Koniortold theAssociated Pressat the time.

Vanessa Hudgens admits she's looking for new boyfriend with Zac Efron in rear-view mirror

Is Vanessa Hudgenscasting for a new boyfriend? The former"High School Musical"actress, who split from co-starZac Efronin December, admitted she was on the prowl at a screening of her new movie,"Beastly"on Wednesday at the Village East Theater. When one cinema-goer asked Hudgens if she was currently dating anyone, the brunette beauty replied:"No, but I'm taking numbers."

RECOVERING alcoholicsDarryl Strawberryand former Channel 7 sportscasterScott Clarkare expected to attend theU.S.premiere of"Svinalangorna"("Beyond") atScandinaviaHouse here on Wednesday. The film won theChristopher D. Smithers Foundation's Ambassador of Hope Award at theVenice Film Festivallast September for raising awareness about the issues pertaining to alcohol abuse, according to the foundation's presidentAdele C. Smithers. Strawberry and Clark have been very vocal in praising Smithers for her help in their successful battle against alcoholism. The ultimately hopeful film is the story of a Swedish woman growing up in a home riddled with alcoholism and abuse in the 1970s.

CHRIS NOTHcan't stop performing after the curtain falls. Following last Wednesday's preview performance of"That Championship Season,"the actor formerly known as Mr. Big invited his castmates for an impromptu dinner party atDa Marinorestaurant. The crew and close friends, including PR manLaurance Gay, joined Noth,Jason Patric,Brian CoxandJim Gaffiganfor calamari and fresh mozzarella, plus a little bonding before Sunday's opening night. The show's fifth man,Kiefer Sutherland, couldn't make it, but that didn't dampen the team spirit: the four co-stars sang a hearty rendition of the high school fight song they perform in the show, and then - after a standing ovation from their fellow diners - Gaffigan and Noth did a dance number. Gaffigan told the crowd that if ham were a person, it would be Noth. Yum?

COURTENEY COXmay be separated fromDavid Arquette, but she still cares about him. A source tells us the actress placed a worried phone call fromHawaiito her husband inL.A.on Friday after he was injured in a car accident inBeverly Hills. According to Arquette'sTwitter, he was en route to LAX to fly toLas Vegasfor the grand opening of Sugar Factory American Brasserie when the accident took place. Though he was taken to the hospital, his rep says he's"fine."

CATHERINE DENEUVEis a Frenchwoman of few words: she's decided to promote her new film by not talking about it. TheFilm Society of Lincoln Centeropened the 16th annual"Rendez Vous with French Cinema"with a screening of Deneuve's new movie,"Potiche"(at the Paris Theatre, bien sur).Director Francois Ozonexplained that in French,"Potiche"means either an ornamental bowl or a trophy wife - and that Deneuve was"not a potiche at all."In a black fur coat and leopard-print heels, the screen icon looked regal on the red carpet as she dodged most press, with her publicist telling reporters that the after party would be a better time to talk. But during the fete at Le Rouge Tomate, Deneuve stayed huddled at a back table with her daughter and a couple friends, barely eating or speaking."Thees ees NOT ze right time!"her feisty publicist told reporters whenever they tried to get a word in. Pardonnez-nous! Deneuve left the party around 10:30, having stayed for no more than a half-hour.

Lindsay Lohan won't take plea deal that would send her to jail for alleged stolen necklace: report

Hell no, LiLo won't go.

Oft-rehabbed starletLindsay Lohanwon't take any plea deal that includes a jail term for her alleged theft of a $2,500 necklace from aVenice, Calif., jewelry store,TMZ.comreported Saturday.

Sources close to the"Mean Girls"actress say Lohan believes security cameras from the store will clear her of felony grand theft charges.

Lohan's options at this point are simple: Go to trial, or take a deal that lands her behind bars. Sources told the Daily News last month that prosecutors offered a plea bargain with a six-month jail term.

The 24-year-old Lohan intends to clear her name rather than cop a plea and spend any time in jail, according to the TMZ report. Lohan insists the necklace was loaned to her by the store.

If convicted at trial,Los Angeles Superior CourtJudge Keith Schwartz has already warned Lohan that he will sentence her to jail. She faces up to three years if convicted.

It's the latest legal woe for Lohan, whose face has recently appeared in more mug shots - five in four years - than movies.

Ex-girlfriend leaks naked photo of singer Chris Brown, Perez Hilton reports

There's something to be said for naked ambition.

According toPerezHilton.com, one ofChris Brown's exes leaked a naked photo of the singer.

In the photo, a man appearing to be Brown is photographing himself naked in a full-length mirror. The man in the shot sports tattoos and blonde hair similar to the singer, age 21.

On the crooner’s officialFacebookpage, fans have already commented about the image, some vehemently defending him, saying it must bePhotoshopjob, and others upset about the nude picture.

The timing of the leak is something of a coincidence. Brown's newest CD,"F.A.M.E.", is slated to be released March 22, followed by a world tour, starting inAustralia, in April.

Brown continues to struggle to rebuild his image in the wake of an infamous February 2009 domestic violence incident. He pleaded guilty to attacking then-girlfriendRihannaafter theGrammy Awardsceremony. As part of a felony plea deal Brown was sentenced to community labor and five years' probation. In July of 2009 Brown formally apologized onYouTubeto Rihanna and fans for the violence.

In Aug. 2010, he tried his hand at the movies, starring in the crime thriller"Takers"alongsideMatt Dillon,Paul Walker,Hayden ChristensenandT.I.

Mike Huckabee slams pregnant Natalie Portman as bad role model for having a baby'out of wedlock'

The Academy may likeNatalie Portman, butMike Huckabeeis not a fan.

The FormerArkansasgovernor slammed theOscar-winningstar this week,telling radio host Michael Medvedhe thinks the actress is glamorizing"the idea of children out of wedlock."

Portman, who won the Best Actress award for her performance in "Black Swan,"announced in December that she was engaged to choreographerBenjamin Millipiedand pregnant with her first child.

But planning to get married is a far cry from being married, as far as Huckabee andMedvedare concerned.

Huckabee, who is rumored to be considering a presidential campaign in 2012, appeared on the conservative radio show on Monday, where he got into a conversation about the Oscars and Portman's win.

"It's a problem because she's about seven months pregnant, it's her first pregnancy, and she and the baby's father aren't married,"Medved said."And before two billion people, Natalie Portman says 'Oh I want to thank my love and he's given me the most wonderful gift.' He didn't give her the most wonderful gift, which could be a wedding ring!"

"It's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of children out of wedlock,"Huckabee responded.

TheFox Newscontributor and onetime Republican presidential candidate said he believes Portman's privileged status makes her a misleading role model for single mothers.

"People see a Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, 'Hey look, you know, we're having children, we're not married, but we're having these children, and they're doing just fine,'"he said."But there aren't really a lot of single moms out there who are making millions of dollars every year for being in a movie,"he said.

Tobey Maguire, Chace Crawford get in early on flight from LAX under unusual circumstances

American AirlinespassengersTobey Maguire,Chace Crawfordand Avenue editor-in-chiefPeter Davisarrived inNew Yorkearlier than expected Tuesday, thanks to an on-board emergency. A business-class passenger tells us the VIPs were on the 1:45flight from LAXwhen an elderly man in coach suffered a seizure and a"code red"was called.

The source said Maguire, who was in first class with his wife,Jennifer Meyer, and their two children, along with Crawford and Davis, all looked pretty scared by the situation. The pilots stepped on the gas and landed in New York almost an hour earlier than the scheduled 10:15 p.m. arrival.

Hip-hop headcase

Lil Jon, Big Head: Tuesday night, the hip-hop artist promoted his upcoming stint on"Celebrity Apprentice"by arriving at Greenhouse with a friend who, a source there said, wore a huge fake"Lil Jon head."After prodding his pal to dance, Jon got on the mic to tell the crowd,"he doesn't move as well as me."Aw Jon, don't hate on yourself.

Take it easy on Rao's

Frank Pellegrino, owner of famedEast Harlemrestaurant Rao's, opened a Tuesday dinner with a plea for mercy. The event, Vegas Uncork'd by Bon Appetit, had gathered food luminaries for a celebratory dinner, and Pellegrino claimed he hadn't seen the guest list, which includedAdam RapoportandJean-Georges Vongerichten, until just before the meal."Be easy on us, you critics!"he told the crowd. Perhaps he was referring to more than food. Pellegrino fired up the jukebox and sang"My Girl"and"That's Amore."No stranger to the spotlight, his career includes a stint on"The Sopranos."

News to him 

Anthony Kennedy Shrivermight want to check outGoogleAlerts. At Tuesday night's  soiree for hisBest Buddies Internationalcharity, the­nephew of the lateSen. Ted Kennedytold us we were the"first"to mention to him press reports from earlier in the week that his uncle had arranged to rent a brothel while visitingChilein 1961.

Perhaps he was immersed in preparing for Tuesday's event at the Fifth Ave. Mont Blanc store, where he urged the crowd to spend as much money as possible from March 1-11, even if that called for buying a"very inexpensive $90,000 watch."During that period, 11% of the company's proceeds will go to Best Buddies.

So much for that 

TheAmerican Cancer Society's Mothers of the Year 2011 awards luncheon might want to pair with theLearning Annexfor a course in parenting skills. While the praiseworthyGrace Hightower De Nirois a co-chairwoman for the Plaza event, so isMrs. Keith Richards,Patti Hansen. Hansen was scheduled to arrive with 25-year-old daughterTheodora Richards, until her offspring was arraigned on drug and graffiti charges Wednesday. Also planning to attend isDiandra Douglas, mother ofCameron Douglas(son of screen legend Michael), sentenced to five years in prison last April for drug dealing.

Funny guy 

Comedy enthusiasts who caught one ofLouis C.K.'s seven sold-out shows at Carolines Comedy Club last weekend are still talking about his brilliant looks at modern life: Like the guy handing his subway seat to a woman, only to give her a face full of crotch the rest of the ride. Better yet, track down his so-funny-it-hurts tale of a terror flight to LaGuardia onYouTube. Just don't ingest any liquids while you watch.
