Boozy Brooke Hogan Belts One Out in Chicago
Oh, Brooke Hogan!
You really, um, impressed the crowd last night at Enclave nightclub in Chicago.
A source reports that the reality television star/singer showed up at the hot spot "in an utter state of hot drunkenness." At about 2 in the morning, Hogan jumped onstage and gave an impromptu performance of slurred lyrics and wobbly dance moves.
Hogan isn't the only celeb we've spotted out and about recently. Read on for scoop on Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, Blake Lively, Jon Hamm and E!'s very own Joel McHale...
Pattinson and Stewart: The New Combs and Lopez?
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are so Sean "Puffy" Combs and Jennifer Lopez.
Lemme explain...
Back in the late 90s, I was a reporter for the New York Daily News. At the time, Combs and Lopez were the biggest superstars around. But they weren't quick to confirm or deny they were an actual couple.
It wasn't until Combs' first annual white party at his house in the Hamptons that we finally got an answer...

Madonna Celebrates A-Rod (and the Rest of the Yankees, Too)
Just because Madonna isn't dating A-Rod doesn't mean she can't still be a Yankees fan.
A source tells me that the Queen of Pop celebrated the Bronx Bombers' World Series win on Saturday (a day after the big NYC parade) with boyfriend Jesus Luz, Jerry Seinfeld and even one of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner's sons.
The group did some wining and dining at posh restaurant A Voce overlooking Central Park...
Lutz & McCord's Not-So-Private Rendezvous
AnnaLynne McCord and Kellan Lutz better get in as much time together as they can these days, because as we all know Lutz is pretty darn busy promoting that quiet little movie, New Moon.
Just last week the hunkster hit the Sony Cierge event at L.A.'s SLS hotel with his brother Brandon, but shortly before the shindig ended, along came the 90210 beauty and her ubiquitous nonfamous sister Angel.
Lutz and McCord were only spotted giving each other pecks on the cheek and even asked event organizers not to have their photo taken together, a source reports.
No biggie, because we got the chance to talk to Lutz a couple of days later. Ya gotta come back here tomorrow to find out what he had to tell us about liking Eclipse more than New Moon, his drooled-over muscles and trying to have a private life.
Meanwhile, keep reading for more celeb sightings, like Taylor Swift...

Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Kym's In, Karina's Out
Maksim Chmerkovskiy and his then fiancé Karina Smirnoff made their Broadway debut last summer in Burn the Floor.
But Chmerkovskiy says producers have only asked him to return, which he'll do right after Thanksgiving.
The hunky hoofer says there's no way he would have gone back if Smirnoff was part of the deal. The two called off their engagement just days before they danced together on the Emmys in September.
"I wouldn't do it if she was asked back," Chmerkovskiy told us last night at the Sony Cierge event at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Instead, another one of DWTS' pros will be joining him...
Sex Talk With Miley Cyrus and...Bette Midler?
Talk about a quickie.
Miley Cyrus admits she didn't have to work too hard for her cameo in the upcoming Sex and the City movie sequel.
"I shot for like an hour and a half, and I was done," Cyrus told Ryan Seacrest this morning on his KIIS-FM morning radio show. "It was like the best job I'd ever been on."
Cyrus appears as herself in a scene in which she and Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) wear the same dress to a red carpet event.
"It was a total dream come true," the Hannah Montana star gushed. "It was so cool. Working with Kim was a really cool. And Sarah Jessica Parker was like the nicest person in the world."
And speaking of celebrity cameos in SATC 2…
Madonna & Jesus' Dinner Cruz With Penélope
Talk about dinner under the stars.
Madonna and her much younger hottie boyfriend, Jesus Luz, were spotted just the other night having dinner at Mr. Chow on 57th Street in New York City with Penélope Cruz and her maybe-fiancé Javier Bardem.
And that's not all. Eva Mendes also joined them for the evening.
So what did the group enjoy (besides the company)? Chicken satay and Beijing duck. While most of the group sipped adult drinks, Cruz appeared to be having an alcohol-free night. "They were loud and laughing," an eyewitness tells us.
They wrapped things up after about two hours.

Top Chef's Ashley: Prop 8 and the Wedding Challenge
Top Chef contestant Ashley Merriman is not against cooking at straight weddings.
So what was her beef with this season's wedding challenge?
It was all about timing. "My objection was more about the decision to have this challenge at the height of Proposition 8," Merriman tells me.
"It was not about the bachelor and bachelorette. I don't have any problems with them. When somebody comes and wants to propose in my restaurant I'm the first person putting the ring in the chocolate cake."
Fortunately, it wasn't her politics that got her eliminated on last night's show. Read on for the first of my weekly Top Chef exit interviews with the season's 10 remaining cheftestants.
Sightings: Ashley Greene & Kellan Lutz's Night Off
Selena Gomez is definitely not the only celeb these days into singer-songwriter Jason Mraz.
One of our spies spotted Twilight stars Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz on Wednesday night at the "I'm Yours" hitmaker's concert at the GM Place Arena in Vancouver, where our fave vampire movie franchise is filming Eclipse.
"They were watching the show from the soundboard area," the eyewitness reports. "Toward the end of the show, Jason and a couple of guys in his band went out on a small stage and did a few songs right there at the soundboard so the [people in the] back of the arena were able to see him up close."
After the show Greene and Lutz hung out backstage, as did Friday Night Lights star Scott Porter.

But soon you'll be seeing a lot more of Ms. Roxy, because she's joined The City. Not only is the 23-year-old living in New York City with Whitney Port, but they're also working together at fashion PR firm People's Revolution.
