Justin Timberlake celebrated his third stint as an SNL host at a Primehouse after-party with Jessica Biel, his father, Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, and police commissioner Ray Kelly. Meanwhile, Biel really works the stripper pole in her upcoming flick. Society brat Liam McMullan thinks he should have been a prime casting choice in the film Twelve, based on real-life bad boys of Upper East Side schools. “It’s the sheer irony that I know the drug dealer [White Mike],” the fictional character played by Chace Crawford, he said. “ … White Mike is [programmed] in my phone.” Perhaps to get back at her former flame A-Rod, Madonna took her kids plus Jesus to cheer for the Mets on Mother’s Day, hanging out in Jerry Seinfeld’s seats with Anderson Cooper, with whom they’d been partying the previous night at Monkey Bar.

Kate Walsh is doing just fine following her bitter divorce. She was plopped on the lap of Sean Smith, assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, at a late-night party in D.C. The duo later got cozy on a couch but claim to be “just friends.” Rudy Giuliani’s son Andrew skipped out on his Duke graduation to prep for his minor-league golf tournament. He missed hearing Oprah talk about how everyone assumes her favorite guest would be a movie star. “It’s not. It’s actually ordinary people who have accomplished great things … But if it was a movie star, it’d be Hugh Jackman. You can imagine why!” Maybe it has something to do with his James Roger.

Lindsay Lohan was red-flagged for her DUI conviction by Montreal customs officials, who sent her on the next flight out of the country. Jonah Hill partied in Vegas with Diddy and Cassie, who wasn’t letting her recent nude-photo scandal cramp her style. Speaking of which, naked pics of Miss California keep popping up. Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag (Pratt!) were dropped from Maxim’s annual “Hot 100” list, to be released later this week. Tragic. Brooke Shields is coming to Kiefer Sutherland’s defense regarding last week’s head-butting incident. Keith Olbermann’s 25-year-old blonde girlfriend, Katy Tur, landed a prime job at the Weather Channel, run by the same NBC execs who give Olbermann his paycheck. He swears she was hired based on talent alone.

Right after walking out on his $1,000 tab at the Gansevoort South in Miami, Dennis Rodman drunkenly stumbled out of the hotel’s Philippe restaurant, leaving his $1,500 bill behind. Aretha Franklin invited the entire cast of Hair back to her hotel suite for cocktails following the show. An automatic Purell dispenser was installed in the White House briefing room. Bono felt bad about missing fellow Irish band the Script’s concert at Roseland Ballroom last week, so he sent cases of Guinness and Champagne in his place. And ever the ecoconscious rocker-wife and co-founder of the Rainforest Foundation, Trudie Styler flew her hairstylist from New York to D.C. on a private jet to prep her for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
