Blaine and Robert Trump are going to divorce court next month, with Blaine hiring Christie Brinkley’s divorce lawyer, Robert Cohen, to help get some of Robert’s estimated $200 million. Anne Hathaway is dating an actor named Adam Shulman, who someone calls an opportunist just like Raffaello Follieri. Dustin Hoffman saved two rows of seats for his family for Slumdog Millionaire at the Angelika. Gourmet editor Ruth Reichl couldn’t get into her own magazine’s party for the new restaurant Shang until a publicist recognized her. Fergie (the singer, we guess) lingered in Jeremy Piven’s dressing room after seeing him in Speed-the-Plow. Cindy Adams says it’s a toss-up between Barbra Streisand and Beyoncé over who will perform at the Inauguration, and also that Bill Clinton will do whatever it takes so Hillary can be secretary of State. Also, Chris Matthews dislikes Hillary Clinton because he fears strong women, and because women “don’t excite him or send tingles up his leg,” though men like Obama do, even though he’s not technically gay, says a New York shrink.
Stephen Baldwin says he was joking when he said he’d leave the U.S. if Obama were elected, but that if gay marriage goes legal in all 50 states in his lifetime, he’ll get a Billy Ray Cyrus tattoo on his butt. Don’t accidentally get the one that says “Newcomers Welcome,” Stephen! Some people say that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin may be on the rocks because Gwyneth went to Miami as a special guest of billionaire Jeff Soffer instead of going to see Chris in that band of his. Terrence Howard seems to like French model Noemie Lenoir, but did you also know that he once said he’d date only women who kept moist towelettes by the toilet? Terrence, she’s French, she probably has a whole bidet!
Gong Li is being called a traitor in China for giving up her Chinese citizenship to become a citizen of Singapore, her tobacco-mogul husband’s homeland. “All traitors will be nailed to history’s mast of shame,” said one fan. That’s mature. Justin Timberlake is selling his new single only through MySpace, with all proceeds going to help sick children. Nicole Kidman says she may stop acting for a while to have some more kids. Michael Jackson got $350,000 from a rich sheikh for sessions to get his creative juices flowing, but now the sheikh is suing Michael for not delivering on projects they had in contract. M.I.A. says that even though the dad of her Seagram-heir fiancé, Ben Brewer, epitomizes “the system,” his family is “rich because they threw big, illegal parties, so I don’t mind.” Happy awkward Thanksgiving with the in-laws, M.I.A.
